WHEN MELTING SOLID FAT IN YOUR DEEP FRYER:
1. Make sure the fat is at room temperature. If the fat is cold, then there is a greater risk of splashing.
2. Using a fork, carefully make some holes in the fat.
3. Make sure the lid is always securely closed while the fat is melting.
4. Set the temperature control to 170°C.
IMPORTANT: Setting the temperature will automatically turn the deep fryer “ON” and the ready
light will illuminate. The ready light will off when the fat or oil in the reservoir has reached the
selected temperature.
PREHEATING:
WARNING: Never plug in the deep fryer before filling the oil reservoir with oil. Always unplug the
appliance when it is not in use.
1. Make sure that the oil level in the oil reservoir is between the “MAX” and “MIN” fill lines inside the oil
container.
2. Place the lid onto the deep fryer.
3. Insert the plug into the electrical wall outlet. The power on light will illuminate.
4. Turn the temperature control to the desired temperature.
5. The ready light will turn off when the set temperature is reached.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ASSEMBLING THE DEEP FRYER
1. Place the oil reservoir into the deep fryer housing.
(Fig. 1)
2. Insert the guide edges on the control panel into the guide rails
mounted on the metal body.
(Fig. 2)
3. Slide the guide edges down as far as they can go.
NOTE:
The deep fryer has an automatic safety switch to ensure that
the unit will not operate unless the control panel has been inserted
securely into the guide rails on the body of the deep fryer.
4. Attach the fryer basket handle to the fryer basket by
squeezing the handle bars together and inserting them
into the metal bracket on the basket. Make sure that the
end of the bars are inserted into the bracket holes. Lift the
handle up to lock in place.

USING THE DEEP FRYER
WARNING:
Never plug in the deep fryer before filling the oil
reservoir with oil. Always make sure that the control panel is
securely in place in the housing of the deep fryer and that the
heating element is inside the oil in the oil reservoir before
plugging in.
FILLING THE OIL RESERVOIR:
1. Pour cooking oil into the oil reservoir making sure that it is
between the “Min” and “Max” fill lines in the oil container.
Do not under fill or overfill. The oil levels must be maintained
between the minimum (2.2 liters) and the maximum levels
(3 liters) marked inside theoil container.
(Fig. 4)
2. You can use blended vegetable oil, corn oil, or canola oil. Do not use
olive oil, margarine, lard or drippings. Never mix old and new oil
together or different oils and fat.
USING SOLID FAT:
WARNING: Do not put solid shortening in the oil reservoir or the
frying basket.
1. If using solid vegetable shortening, melt it first in a separate container
and then very carefully pour the melted fat into the oil reservoir.
2. Previously used solid vegetable shortening which has curdled and
hardened in the oil reservoir should be removed from the oil reservoir
and melted in a separate pan before reusing.
