3. Next, place one of the pegs in one of the peg holes. Then
squeeze the handle bars together and fit the opposite peg
in the other peg hole (Fig. F).
4. While squeezing the handle bars together and keeping the
pegs in the holes, rotate the handle toward the basket rim,
allowing the handle bars to snap into the tabs on the basket
bracket (Fig. G). The handle is now in the locked position.
WARNING! Failure to securely attach the basket handle can
result in the release of the basket during use, which may
cause severe burns.
For instructions on positioning basket in fryer, see step 3
in "To fry" section on page 4.

Important Safety Information

WARNING! Burn Hazards
• Hot oil can cause serious and painful burns. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Oil and water do not mix. The combination can be dangerous. Accordingly, before pouring oil into the removable pot, be sure that the pot
and all parts are COMPLETELY DRY. In addition, before placing food in deep fryer, always remove ice crystals and excess moisture from
food by patting dry with paper towels. When the oil is heated, any water droplets in the oil superheat, becoming a volatile steam that can cause
hot oil to spatter, boil over, or even erupt out of the deep fryer.
Uncooked potatoes contain a high percentage of moisture and extreme caution must be used when frying. Follow special frying instructions
found in steps 1, 4, and 5 of the "To fry" section (page 4), in the timetable (page 6), and in the Homemade French Fries recipe (page 6).
• Use caution when 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, to turn food during frying and to remove food from oil.
• Use caution when frying flour tortillas. Flour tortillas contain air bubbles. During frying, oil can become trapped within these bubbles. If not
properly drained, the bubbles can burst and cause burns. Accordingly, after frying, carefully raise the tortillas out of the vegetable oil and
allow oil to drain for approximately 30 seconds.
WARNING! Electrical Hazards
To avoid the risk of electrocution or severe disfiguring electrical burns:
• Do not let the cord or plug come in contact with water or other liquid.
• Do not let children handle or put electrical cords or plugs in their mouths.
• Never use the deep fryer without the removable pot.

Important Fryer Guidelines

• Use the deep fryer only on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from the edge.
• Never preheat or use the deep fryer without or with an insufficient amount of oil. Failure to fill fryer with oil to the minimum (MIN) fill level
will cause overheating and damage to the appliance. Also never exceed the maximum (MAX) fill level. Using more than the maximum amount
may cause the oil to boil over the top of the fryer. The MIN and MAX fill levels are embossed inside the removable pot (Fig. B, page 2). The
minimum amount of oil for this fryer is six, 8-ounce cups and the maximum amount is eight, 8-ounce cups.
• Use vegetable shortening or vegetable oils, such as canola, corn, sunflower, peanut, soybean, and light olive oil. These can withstand the high
temperatures required for deep frying. Do not use extra virgin olive oil or other vegetable oils as they deteriorate at temperatures below those
required for deep frying. Do not use butter, margarine, or lard because they have lower smoking temperatures.
• Avoid preheating the oil longer than necessary and unplug the fryer once the last batch of food has been removed. The longer the oil is heated,
the more it deteriorates.
• Always remove plug from wall outlet and then from deep fryer when unit is not in use.
• Always allow fryer to cool completely with the cover closed before removing oil and before cleaning.

How to Use

To fill with oil
1. Open the deep fryer cover. If the frying basket is in the fryer, remove it and set it aside.
2. Fill the removable pot with vegetable oil or shortening up to the MAX fill level located on the inside of the removable pot (Fig. B). Use
eight, 8-ounce cups of oil or four pounds of shortening. The amount of oil in the removable pot must always be between the MIN and MAX
level markings. Never exceed the MAX level mark.
