Important Cord Information

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Do NoT
USe WITh AN eXTeNSIoN CoRD.
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.

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 cord or plug come in contact with water or other liquid.
❖ Use only a good, reliable standard brand of vegetable shortening or cooking oil for deep frying. Deep frying foods in butter, marga-
rine, olive oil, or animal fat is not recommended because of lower smoking temperatures.
❖ CAUTION: OIL AND WATER DO NOT MIX. The combination can be dangerous. When the 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 a fryer be sure that the fryer is COMPLETELY dry. Before placing food in deep fryer,
always remove ice crystals and excess moisture from food by patting dry with toweling.
❖ Use caution when deep 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 the scoop provided or tongs rather than a fork when turning food
during frying and when removing food from oil.
❖ Use caution when deep frying flour tortillas. Flour tortillas contain air bubbles. During deep frying, oil can become trapped within
these bubbles. If not properly drained the bubbles can burst and cause burns. Therefore, after deep frying tortillas, carefully raise
them out of the cooking oil and allow oil to drain from the tortillas for approximately 30 seconds.
❖ Always remove cord from wall outlet and then from deep fryer when unit is not in use.
❖ Always allow fryer to cool completely before removing oil and before cleaning.

How To Use

Before using for the first time, wash scoop and interior of unit with warm, sudsy water and dry thoroughly. Never immerse unit in water
or other liquid, or wash in dishwasher.
1. Remove plastic cover. Unit must be cool before cover can be replaced for storage of oil.
2. Check the rubber pads on the bottom of the fryer before each use to be sure they are free of oil or
other debris. Wipe pads with warm, soapy water if necessary. Then dry thoroughly.
3. Place deep fryer on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface in center of
countertop.
4. Fill unit with cooking oil or shortening up to oil level line, which is located on inside of unit (Fig.
A). Never use more than six, 8-ounce cups of cooking oil or 3 pounds of shortening. Never use
any cover while oil is heating or while frying food.
5. Attach the cord to the unit by aligning the magnetic plug end of the cord assembly with the two
electrical pins located in the recessed area of the fryer base (Fig. B). When properly aligned, the
plug will magnetically attach itself to the appliance. For proper connection, the magnetic plug
end must be parallel with the countertop (Fig. C).
Important: The magnetic cord was designed to detach easily from the fryer.
As a result, if it is bumped or touched during use, it could possibly detach
causing the unit to stop heating. Avoid contact with cord during operation.
If contact occurs, verify that the cord is still properly connected.
6. Plug cord into a 120 volt wall outlet. The unit is now "oN" and will remain on
until unplugged.
