Important Cord And Plug Information; Before First Use - Presto CoolDaddy Instructions Manual

Important Cord and Plug Information

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. DO NOT USE WITH
AN EXTENSION CORD.
Do not allow the power supply cord to run underneath or around the appliance. The magnetic cord assembly may not detach easily if the
power supply cord is positioned in this fashion. Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.

Before First Use

Become familiar with the various parts of the deep fryer (Fig. A) and read the
instructions carefully.
Clean fryer
Wipe the fryer cover and cool-touch base with a damp cloth. CAUTION! To avoid
electrical shock, never immerse the fryer base, cord, or plug in water or wash in
a dishwasher.
Open the deep fryer cover by pushing the cover release button on the front of the
fryer.
Remove the frying basket, basket handle, charcoal filter, drip cup, cord, and any
packaging material from the deep fryer. Then lift the removable pot out of the
fryer base.
Wash the basket (with the handle removed) and removable pot in hot, soapy water;
rinse and dry thoroughly. Washing these parts in a dishwasher is not recommended;
see pages 4 and 5 for specific cleaning instructions. NOTICE: If you choose to
wash the removable pot in a dishwasher, it will likely discolor due to the caustic
nature of the dishwasher detergent. In addition, a gray residue may form on the
pot which may transfer onto towels and/or skin.
Position removable pot in fryer base
After cleaning, when lowering the removable pot
back into the fryer base, make sure the
of the pot is aligned with the
unit will not function unless the pot is lowered into
the aligned position (Fig. B).
Install removable filter
The charcoal filter will help absorb unpleasant odors.
For the deep fryer to effectively absorb these odors,
always use the fryer with the filter. The filter fits in
the filter compartment in the fryer cover (Fig. C).
To install (or replace) the filter, first close the fryer cover. Then, lift up on the back of the filter
cover and detach it from the fryer. If replacing an old filter, remove and discard it. Unwrap the
new charcoal filter and insert it in the filter compartment so the notched end is toward the window
(Fig. C). Reattach the filter cover by pushing the tabs into the front of the filter compartment. Then
snap cover into place by pushing the back end down. Replacement
filters may be purchased through the Presto Consumer Service
Department (see back cover).
Insert drip cup
Included with the deep fryer is a drip cup. Before use, be sure to place
the drip cup into the opening in the back of the fryer, with the rib side
out (Fig. D). This cup collects condensation from the fryer cover when
the cover is opened after frying.
Attach handle to basket
Before using the deep fryer, you will need to attach the handle to the
basket. Follow these steps:
1. Hold the basket in one hand and the basket handle in your other hand. You will be placing the pegs, which are at the ends of the two basket
handle bars, into the two holes in the basket bracket (Fig. E).
2. While holding the pegs near the peg holes, tilt the handle inward before attempting to place the pegs in their holes. You will not be able to fit
the second peg into its hole if the handle bars are positioned too close to the bracket.
