Helpful Hints for Deep Frying:
• Prepare food to be fried in equal size and thickness so that they will fry more evenly
and at the same speed.
• Do not fill the frying basket over 2/3 full. If too much food is fried at the same time,
food may not be fried crispy and evenly.
• Before deep frying, always remove excess moisture or ice crystals from food by rub-
bing with paper towel. Moist food may cause excess foaming and spattering of oil.
HOW TO USE
Before First Use:
1. Read all instructions and important safeguards.
2. Remove all packaging materials and make sure items are received in good
condition.
3. Tear up all plastic bags as they can pose a risk to children.
4. Wash the frying basket and nonstick frying pot with a sponge or discloth in warm
soapy water. Completely dry the entire bottom of frying pot.
5. Wipe the body clean with a damp cloth.
6. Place the deep fryer on a level, stable surface.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
Do not immerse the appliance in water at any time.
Oil Selection:
1. We recommend the following oils for healthier deep-frying: corn, canola, or blend-
ed vegetable oil. These oils are cholesterol-free and low in saturated fat.
2. We do not recommend using peanut oil, soy oil, sunflower oil, or lard that may drip
and deteriorate quickly when heated. Heavy flavored oil such as olive oil should
also be avoided.
3. We do not recommend mixing old and new oil together as this spoils new oil
quicker.
4. The number of times that the frying oil can be reused would depend on the food
that is fried in it. For example, when foods such as coated fish battered with
bread or cracker crumbs are fried frequently, the oil will need to be replaced more
often.
Preheat Oil:
1. Turn the temperature control to the lowest temperature and make sure that the
fryer is unplugged.
2. Wipe dry the nonstick frying pot and fill it with oil no higher than the MAX level line
and no lower than MIN level line. Oil level must always be between the minimum
and maximum line marks.
3. Plug the fryer into a wall outlet, and the power light will illuminate red.
4. Close the lid by pressing down until it snaps closed.
5. Set the temperature control to the desired degree and the fryer will begin heating
the oil.
6. When the green light illuminates, your deep fryer is ready for frying.

CAUTION:
To avoid overflowing or splashing oil, do not quickly drop the frying basket quickly
into the hot oil. Lower slowly into oil.
When frying, hot steam will escape through the edge of the lid. This is normal.
Avoid this area when the fryer is in use.
The fryer may give off a slight odor and smoky haze during the first use. This is nor-
mal and will not harm you or the product. If it continues after the first few uses, stop
using, disconnect and contact customer service.
When opening the lid, be extremely cautious of the hot oil as it could splash.
