u
Never use the deep fryer without oil or with insufficient oil. Failure to fill fryer with oil to the minimum (MIN) fill
level will cause overheating and damage to the product. Also never exceed the maximum fill level. Using more than the
maximum amount may cause the oil to boil over the top of the fryer. The minimum (MIN) and maximum (MAX) fill
levels are embossed inside the removable pot (Fig. A1, page 2).
u
Use vegetable oil for deep frying, such as corn, sunflower, peanut, or soybean. Deep frying foods in olive oil is not
recommended because it has a lower smoking temperature.
u
Do not use solid fat (shortening, butter, margarine, lard).
Solid fat will not melt uniformly and will cause severe
smoking. It may also cause the unit to overheat resulting in the reset button tripping. In addition, solid fat will solidify
once it has cooled making it very difficult to remove or insert the control assembly.
u
Do not use cover while frying french fries and other high moisture foods.
u
Use caution when deep frying flour tortillas. Flour tortillas contain air bubbles. During deep frying, oil can become
trapped within these bubbles. If not properly drained, the bubbles can burst and cause burns. Therefore, after deep
frying tortillas, carefully raise them out of the cooking oil and allow oil to drain from the tortillas for approximately
30 seconds.
u
Use caution when deep frying doughs, such as beignets, donuts, dumplings, hushpuppies, and fritters. These foods may
develop air bubbles during heating, which may burst and cause burns. Use a slotted spoon or tongs, rather than a fork,
when turning food during frying and also when removing food from oil.
u
Always remove plug from wall outlet and then from deep fryer
when unit is not in use.
u
Always allow fryer to cool completely before removing any parts,
before removing oil, and before cleaning.
Basket Handle Assembly/Storage
your fryer will be shipped with the basket handle in the storage
position (Fig. B1). When ready to use the basket, simply
lift the handle out of the basket. Then, gently squeeze
the drain hooks (Fig. C), keeping the pegs in the bracket
holes, and fit the handle bars in the brackets (Fig. D).
The handle is now in the locked position (Fig. B2).
Caution:
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. D).
To unlock the basket handle for storage, gently squeeze
the drain hooks (Fig. C), keeping the pegs in the bracket
holes, and fold the handle into the basket.
How To Use for Frying
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.
F). Slide the control assembly down (Fig. G) 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
12 cups 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.
