Important Cord and Plug Information

Do not allow the cord to run underneath or around the unit. The magnetic cord may not detach easily if the 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. A1) and read the instructions carefully.
Remove all packing material and disassemble unit for cleaning. Take the fry/steam basket out of the unit. Remove the cord assembly from
the basket and set aside. Then, lift the control assembly out of the unit. Wipe the control assembly (control unit with heating element)

pot, fry/steam basket, and fryer cover in dishwasher or in warm, sudsy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Reset Button
The deep fryer is equipped with a sensor which will automatically shut the unit off if it is overheated. overheating can occur if the unit
is heated without oil or water or with insufficient oil or water. It can also occur if using solid fat or older oil that has become thick. If
overheating occurs, the deep fryer will beep continuously. In addition, the words "UNPLUG" and "PUSH" will alternately flash in the
display panel and the red and green signal lights will flash. To reset the fryer for cooking, see page 10.

Important Fryer Guidelines

Use deep fryer only on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from countertop edge.
♦
♦ Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Hot oil can cause serious and painful burns.
♦ 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.
♦ 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.
♦ Never use the deep fryer without the removable pot.
♦ CAUTION: OIl AND wATER
DO NOT MIX. The combination
can be dangerous. When oil is
heated, any water droplets in
the oil super-heat, becoming a
volatile steam that can cause hot
oil to spatter, boil over, or even
erupt out of the deep fryer. Hot
oil can cause severe burns!
Accordingly, before pouring oil
into the removable pot, be sure
that the pot and all parts are
COMPlETElY dry. Before
placing food in deep fryer,
always remove ice crystals and
excess moisture from food by
patting dry with toweling.
♦ Never use the deep fryer without
oil or with insufficient oil. Failure
to fill the removable pot with
oil to the minimum (MIN) fill
level line will cause overheating
and damage to the product. 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
