Important Fryer Guidelines
u Use deep fryer only on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from countertop edge.
u Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. hot oil can cause serious and painful
burns.
u To avoid the risk of electrocution or severe disfiguring electrical burns, do not let children handle or put electrical cords or
plugs in their mouths.
u To avoid the risk of electrocution or electrical burns, do not let the control unit, cord, or plug come in contact with water or
other liquid.
u Never use the deep fryer without the removable pot.
u Never use the deep fryer without oil or with insufficient oil. Also, never exceed the maximum fill level. The minimum (MIN)
and maximum (MAX) fill levels are embossed inside the removable pot (Fig. A1, page 2).
u Use only a good, reliable standard brand of cooking oil for deep frying. 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 Before deep frying, remove ice crystals and excess moisture from food by blotting with toweling—moist foods cause excess
foaming and/or spattering and may cause oil to overflow. Do not add wet food to cooking oil. even small amounts of moisture
may cause the oil to spatter, foam, and/or overflow.
u Do not use cover while frying french fries and other high moisture foods.
u Always unplug cord 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 for frying, 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.
