Prior to first use, remove all packaging materials from the exterior and
interior of the fryer. Make sure the fryer is unplugged. Wash the Frying
Basket and Removable Oil Reservoir in hot soapy water. Gently wipe the
Cool Zone Heating Element with a damp cloth.
Dry all parts thoroughly.
See CARE AND CLEANING.
CAUTION:
Do not immerse cord, plugs or control
panel assembly in water.
NOTE:
The Cool Zone Heating Element cannot be
switched on unless you insert the control panel
assembly into the locating slots of the connecting
plate on the Fryer exterior. (See Figure 1)
• Fill the unit with oil between the maximum and minimum capacity
lines only.
• Do not over fill the basket. To achieve quality results, deep frying
food needs to be surrounded by oil. Too much food causes the oil
temperature to drop, resulting in “soggy” food. Food should be no
higher than the top of the basket.
• Be sure that all ice crystals are removed from the food and food is
completely dry. Excessive water and ice can cause the oil to
splatter and/or overflow.
• Coated foods (bread crumbs, batters, etc.) are best for deep frying.
The coating acts as a protective layer keeping food moist on the
inside and crisp on the outside.
• For best results, defrost frozen foods for 20 minutes prior to frying.
• Fry foods at the correct temperature for best results. This will prevent
burning and give you even colored, crispy food.
• Prepackaged frozen cooked chicken may cook faster than uncooked
food.
• For even cooking, shake basket half way through cooking time.
