How To Use for Frying
Check the rubber pads on the bottom of the deep fryer base before each use to be sure they are
free of oil and other debris. Wipe pads with a warm, soapy cloth if necessary and dry thoroughly.
1.
Position base on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface in center of
countertop.
Always use the handles on the base when lifting or moving the appliance.
never lift or move appliance using control assembly.
2. Place removable pot in base.
3. Attach the control assembly to the base by aligning the two guides on the front of the
control unit with the two tracks on the back of the base (Fig. E). Slide the control assembly
down (Fig. F) as far as it goes making sure both guides are in the tracks.
Note: The appliance will only
operate when both guides are properly positioned in the tracks.
4.
Fill removable pot with cooking oil up to the MAX level marking, which is located on the inside of the
removable pot (Fig. A1, page 2). your fryer will need approximately 3 liters (100 oz.) of cooking oil.
The amount of oil must always be between the MAX and MIn level markings inside the removable pot
(Fig. A1). never exceed the MAX level mark.
5. Place the cover on the deep fryer.
6. Attach the cord to the unit by aligning the magnetic plug end with the two electrical pins located on the
back of the control unit (Fig. A2, page 2). The plug can be attached in either direction.
Important: The magnetic cord was designed to detach easily from the fryer. As a result, if it is bumped or touched during use
it could possibly detach causing the unit to stop heating. Avoid contact with cord during operation. If contact occurs, verify
that the cord is still properly connected.
7. Plug cord into a 120VAC electrical wall outlet only.
Whenever the unit is plugged in the power light will be illuminated.
Always
make sure fryer and cord are out of reach of children.
8. Turn the thermostatic control to the desired temperature (see page 5 for proper cooking temperatures). The recommended setting for
most frying is 375°F. While oil is heating, the ready light will be illuminated.
9. When the selected temperature is reached, the ready light will go out. (Preheat time is approximately 10-12 minutes.)
10. While oil is heating, prepare food for cooking. Remove excess moisture from food by blotting with toweling—moist foods cause
excess foaming and spattering.
Note:
The black cover vents will expand and appear to change shape when the fryer is heating. When the cover cools, the vents will
contract and appear to return to their original position. Both the expansion and contraction are normal.
11. Assemble basket handle for frying, see page 3.
To insure against accidental detachment of handle from basket during use, always make sure both pegs are in the peg holes and the
handle bars are in the tabs (Fig. C and Fig. D, page 3).
12. Place basket on countertop and fill basket up to
3
⁄
4
full with food. (For raw fries, only fill basket ½ full.)
13. Remove cover.
14. Place the filled fry basket in the removable pot, aligning the grooves on the sides of the basket handle with the guide ribs on the front
of the fryer base (Fig. G), and lower the basket until it stops. This is the drain/load position.
Then position cover over basket so the two slots are over the basket handle.
For crisper foods, fry without the cover.
NOTE: WHEN FRyING RAW FRIES OR OTHER HIGH MOISTURE FOODS, DO NOT
USE THE FRyER COVER!
15. Slide the basket lowering button forward and slowly lower the basket into the oil.
Note:
When lowering basket that contains raw fries or high moisture foods, do not allow the oil to
bubble up to the rim of the fryer. If it appears that the oil will bubble up to the rim, raise the basket
and allow the oil bubbles to subside and then slowly lower the basket again. Repeat until the basket
is completely lowered into the fryer.
Warning: To prevent the risk of severe personal injury or property damage, use caution when
cooking with hot oil.
16. Begin timing. Refer to page 5 for recommended times.
Caution: It is normal for steam to escape from the cover vents and handle slots during frying.
To prevent steam burns keep hands and face away from the vents and slots.
17. When frying time has elapsed, lift up on the basket handle to raise the basket to the drain position.
Remove the cover and check that the food is golden brown. If more cooking time is needed, slide
the basket lowering button forward to lower the basket back into the oil.
