OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Prior To First Use, Clean The Unit 

Thoroughly

• All components with the exception of the 

electrical parts, can be washed in warm 

soapy water. Dry thoroughly before use.

• Use basket handles to remove the 

frying basket.  Always make sure  the 

basket handle is securely attached to 

the basket. To attach the handle to the 

frying basket, insert the metal part of 

the handle inside the metal bracket on 

the frying basket. Lift the handle up over 

the basket to secure in place. 

(Fig. 1)

• Lift the control panel with heating 

element out of its slots by pushing it up 

from the bottom with one hand while 

holding the body of the deep fryer with 

your other hand.

• Remove the oil container.

• Clean the oil container and the frying 

basket with hot water, dishwashing 

liquid or other non-poisonous detergent 

and non-abrasive sponge.

Warning:

Never immerse the control 

panel in water or any other liquids.

Warning:

All components must 

be completely dried before filling 

with oil or using.  Special care must be 

taken to ensure the filter in the lid is 

completely dry, otherwise the filter will 

not function properly and may lead to 

steam being trapped  within the fryer 

during use.

Warning:

Never exceed "MAX" line 

when filling the basket with food.

Using for the First Time

Warning:

Never plug in the control 

panel when it is not installed in the 

fryer body with heating element in the oil 

container.  Do not immerse the control 

panel, cord or plug in water. 

Warning:

This unit should not be 

used to boil water.

Warning:

Always let the fryer cool 

completely for 2 hours before taking it apart 

for cleaning.  Never carry or move the 

Glass Deep Fryer with hot oil inside.  

Before cleaning, always make sure the 

magnetic power plug is not in the wall 

socket.

Filling the Glass Container With Oil

Warning:

Never plug in the Deep 

Fryer before filling with oil to 

specified level. Always place the control 

panel into the glass oil container before 

filling because the “MIN” and “MAX”

levels are shown on the element support 

plate. (See fig. 2)  Always make sure 

control panel is securely in place in the 

body and the heating element is inside 

the oil in the container before plugging in.

MAX

MIN

• Use blended vegetable oil, pure corn oil 

or canola (rapeseed) oil.  Do not use 

olive oil, margarine, lard or drippings. 

• The oil level must always be maintained 

between the minimum marked inside the 

oil container. Maximum oil capacity is 

12.5 cups (3 liters). Check the oil level on 

the control panel before each use.  For 

best results, keep the oil close to the 

maximum level (12.5 cups/3 liters). Fig. 2

• Never mix different oils and fats together.  

Do not mix old and new oil.

• Do not mix different oils or new and 

old oil together.

• Replace oil regularly.  In general, oil 

will be tainted fast when frying food 

containing a lot of protein, (such as 

poultry, meat and fish).  When oil is 

used mainly to fry potatoes and is 

filtered after each use, it can be used 

up to 8 to 10 times, but do not use 

the same oil for more than 6 months.

• Always replace all oil as soon as it 

starts foaming when heated, when 

color becomes dark, when it has a 

rancid smell or taste or becomes 

syrupy.

• Make sure that the food to be fried is 

dry.

• Remove loose ice from frozen food 

before frying. Rinse and pat dry.

• To cook evenly, pieces should be the 

same size and thickness.

• Thicker pieces will take longer to 

cook.

Frying Tips

Important:  When frying frozen food 

such as French Fries in the frying 

basket, you should not exceed 1.25 

lb. (568 gr.).  For best results, limit 

quantity to 1 Lb. (454 gr.) or less.

The following cooking times reflect only the approximate time needed to fry one 

basket 1/2 full.  The exact time may be different depending on actual quantity, 

personal cooking preferences, size and thickness of pieces, etc... 

Temperature Settings

In general, use lower settings for delicate foods (vegetables, fish) and higher settings 

for frozen foods, French Fries and Chicken.

Make sure the deep fryer is unplugged 

and the oil has cooled before cleaning 

or storing the deep fryer.

The oil does not need to be changed 

after each use.  In general, the oil will 

be tainted rather quickly when frying 

food containing a lot of protein (such 

as poultry, meat or fish).  When oil is 

mainly used to fry potatoes and is 

filtered after each use, it can be used 8 

to 10 times.  However, do not use the 

same oil for longer than 6 months.

To filter the oil first make sure the oil 

has cooled. Remove the glass oil 

container carefully and then empty the oil 

from the glass oil container into another 

container or bottle. Fig. 6 

Wash and dry the glass oil container and 

basket.  Refill the oil container with the 

oil, pouring the oil through a wire 

strainer or paper filter. Fig. 7
