OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Using Solid Fat
Warning:
Do not put solid
shortening in the oil container or the
frying basket.
• If using solid vegetable shortening, melt
it first in a separate pan and then very
carefully pour the melted fat into the oil
container.
• Previously used solid vegetable
shortening which has curdled and
hardened in the oil container should be
removed from the oil container and
melted in a separate pan before reusing.
Warning:
If you try to melt the
solidified fat in the oil container, there
is a risk of warm melted fat suddenly
sputtering from below through the still solid
top layer of fat.
Therefore use only the following procedure:
• Make sure the fat is at room
temperature. If the fat is very cold, there
is a greater risk of splashing.
• Using a fork, carefully make some holes
in the fat. Make sure the lid is securely
closed while fat is melting. Set
temperature dial to 320º F (160º C).
Installing the “Control Panel With
the Heating Element” Into its Place
Warning:
Never plug in the Deep
Fryer before filling with oil to specified
level. 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.
Important:
Ensure the control panel is
fitted correctly to the main unit otherwise
the unit will not function. This is not a
defect. This product is fitted with a safety
interlock switch to prevent the unit from
turning on accidentally.

Using the Deep Fryer
Pre-Heating
Warning:
Never plug in the Deep Fryer
before filling with oil. (See "Filling"
instructions on page
3
.) Always unplug
the appliance when not in use.
• Make sure the oil level in the oil
container is between the "minimum "
and "maximum lines on the element
support plate. Do
NOT
exceed the "MAX"
line on the element support plate when
filling with oil.
• The frying basket should
not
be immersed
in the oil during the pre-heating.
• Replace the lid cover.
• Plug the appliance into a 120-volt outlet.
• Turn the temperature control knob to the
desired temperature. (Fig. 4)

• Lift up the Control Panel with Heating
Element.
• Insert the "Guide Edges" on the Control
Panel into the "Guide Rails"
mounted on the metal body. (Fig. 3)
• Slide the "Guide Edges" down till the
end.
Important Notice:
The Automatic
Safety Interlock Switch ensures that the
unit will not operate unless the Control
Panel has been inserted into the "Guide
Rails" on the fryer body correctly.

Pre-Heating
(cont.)
• Pre-heating the oil will take up to 15
minutes depending on the temperature
selected.
• The temperature indicator light will
come on when the temperature is set
and the deep fryer is “on” showing that
the heating element is in operation.
This light goes off when the set
temperature is reached. (Fig. 5) The
temperature light may go on and off
several times during frying. This
indicates that the temperature is being
thermostatically maintained.
Warning:
In order to avoid injury or
burns, never touch any metal parts
on the deep fryer because they may be
hot.
Filling the Frying Basket
• Do not fill the frying basket when it is
immersed in oil.
• Place the food in the frying basket. Do
not overfill it and never exceed the
maximum quantities. For optimum
results and shorter frying time, basket
should be only 1/2 full.
• The large basket has approximately
1.25 lb. food capacity. It will hold 3-4
average size pieces of chicken.
• Do not fill the basket higher than the
bottom of the metal plate on the
basket with frozen food.
Warning:
When frying foods,
always
remove the frying basket from
the deep fryer before filling with food
because oil will spatter and cause burns.
Be especially cautious when frying frozen
foods.
Frying Food
• Always use the frying basket to fry food.
• Always close the glass lid during frying.
• When the oil is pre-heated, the ready
indicator light will come on indicating that
the desired temperature is reached.
• Slowly lower the frying basket into the
hot oil. Lowering the frying basket too
quickly can result in the oil overflowing
and splashing.
• Replace the lid carefully.
• It is normal for steam to escape through
the sides of the lid while frying.
• Avoid standing too close to the deep
fryer while it is working.
Warning:
When opening the glass
lid after frying, lift up the lid slightly
away from you, then wait to allow steam to
escape before opening the glass lid
completely. Keep face away from unit to
avoid burns caused by escaping steam.
• Set the temperature setting dial to the
lowest position, (turn fully counter
clockwise).
• Unplug the power cord from the wall
socket.
• Lift up the glass lid slowly and wait to
allow steam to escape before opening
the glass lid completely.
• Lift up the frying basket by the handle.
Place it on the oil container and allow the
food to drain for a minute.
• Once the oil has drained from the
frying basket, the basket may be lifted
off and the food served.
Warning:
When you have finished
frying, always turn the temperature
setting dial to lowest position, turn off
power switch and unplug the deep fryer
from wall outlet. To avoid injury or burns,
do not touch any metal surfaces as they
are hot.
At the End of Cooking
Caution:
When frying frozen
foods such as French Fries, you
should not exceed 1.25 Lb. (564 gr.) in
the large basket. For best crispy results
limit quantity to 1 Lb. (454 gr.). Clean off
any ice from frozen food prior to frying.
Failure to do so may cause fryer to
overflow when food is placed in oil.
Warning:
Always let the deep fryer
cool completely (approximately 2 hours)
before cleaning or storing. Never carry or
move the deep fryer with hot oil inside.
