How To Use for Steaming and Boiling
1. Follow steps 1 through 3 on page 3.
Note: To avoid steam damage to cabinets when using the steaming and boiling function, position the deep fryer so that
it is not directly under cabinets.
2.
For boiling,
fill removable pot with water 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 12 cups of water for boiling. Never exceed the
MAX level mark.
For steaming
, fill removable pot with water up to the MIN level marking, which is located on the inside of the
removable pot (Fig. A1, page 2). your fryer will need approximately 8 cups of water for steaming. Do not use less
than the minimum.
3. 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.
4. Plug cord into a 120 volt wall outlet.
Always make sure fryer and cord are out of reach of children.
5. Turn the thermostatic control to 300˚ and place the cover on the deep fryer.
6. While water is heating, prepare food for cooking.
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.
7. Assemble basket handle for cooking, see page 3.
To insure against accidental detachment of handle from basket during use, always make sure both pegs are in the
bracket holes and the handle bars are in the brackets (Fig. C and D, page 3).
8. Place basket on countertop and fill basket up to
3
⁄
4
full with food.
Do not exceed 2 pounds of food in the basket.
9. When water begins to boil (approximately 9 to 11 minutes), remove cover and attach the filled basket to the removable
pot using the drain hooks. Then position cover over basket with cover vents away from basket handle.
If steaming,
leave basket hooked on removable pot.
If boiling,
slowly lower the filled basket into the water until the bottom of the basket rests on top of the heating
element.
10. Begin timing. Refer to page 11 for recommended times.
Caution: It is normal for steam to escape from the cover vents during boiling and steaming. To prevent steam
burns keep hands and face away from the vents.
11. When cooking time has elapsed, remove cover and then remove basket from fryer if the food was steamed. If food
was boiled, lift the basket and hook it onto the fryer rim to allow food to drain.
12. Empty the food into serving bowls. Season to taste.
13. When cooking is completed, remove plug from wall outlet and then from deep fryer. Allow fryer to cool completely
before removing control assembly and before cleaning.
