OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Filling the Oil Container
Never plug in the deep fryer before filling
with oil to specified level. Always make
sure control panel is securely in place in
the body and the heating element is inside
the oil in the container before plugging in.
• Use blended vegetable oil, pure corn oil
or canola oil. Do not use olive oil,
margarine, lard or drippings.
• The oil level must always be maintained
between the minimum and the maximum
levels marked inside the oil container.
Check the oil level before each use. For
best results, keep the oil close to the
maximum level on the oil container.
(Fig. 5)
• Never mix different oils and fats
together. Do not mix old and new oil.

Using Solid Fat
WARNING:
Do Not put solid shortening in
the oil container or the frying basket.
• If using solid vegetable shortening, melt
it first in a separate pan and then very
carefully pour the melted fat into the oil
container.
• Previously used solid vegetable shortening
which has curdled and hardened in the oil
container should be removed from the oil
container and melted in a separate pan
before reusing.
Using Your Deep Fryer
CAUTION:
Never turn on the fryer when
the oil pan is empty. Always ensure the
fryer is out of the reach of children.
Always use fryer on a flat, heat resistant
surface.
1.
Place oil container inside base of unit.
2.
Slide control panel with heating
elements downward until it connects
with the power junction module on the
outside of the fryer.
3.
Make sure fryer On/Off switch is in the
"Off " position.
4.
Attach the detachable power cord.
When attaching the cord - you will feel
a magnetic pull on the cord when
attaching cord correctly.
5.
Pour cooking oil into oil container. Do
not exceed max level for cooking oil.
(See instructions on filling the oil
container.)
6.
Turn On / Off switch to "On" position.
The power "On" light will come on.
7.
To set the desired frying temperature,
press the temperature control knob
and turn the knob to the left to
decrease the temperature or to the right
to increase. The range of temperature
is between 155° F and 385° F.
8.
When you have finished setting the
temperature, the unit is ready to be
used. Close the cover and let the oil
reach the set temperature.
9.
When the oil in the deep fryer has
reached the set temperature, open the
cover, place the frying basket onto the
oil draining hook, put food into the
frying basket and carefully lower the
frying basket into the hot oil. Close the
cover.
10. When cooking oil reaches desired
setting, the temperature ready light
will turn on.
Note: The temperature ready light will cycle
off and on during the frying cycle as the
unit maintains the selected
temperature.
11. When cooking is complete, open the
cover carefully to avoid burns caused
by escaping steam. Lift the frying
basket and hook it onto the oil draining
hook to allow the food to drain.
12.
Remove the food from the frying basket
by:
Lifting the frying basket by its handle
and CAREFULLY pouring food onto
a plate covered with paper towels or
into desired serving utensil.
Using tongs to grasp the food from
the frying basket and placing into
serving utensil.
13. Repeat procedure for remaining food
to be cooked.
Note: Always replace or remove the frying
basket carefully when cooking. Oil is
very hot and can cause severe
injury.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
14. When cooking is completed, press
the ""On/Off"" button and remove
the plug from the electrical outlet.
Allow the oil in the oil container to
cool completely for approximately
two (2) hours before attempting to
remove the oil and clean the deep
fryer.
Note: Do not disconnect the deep fryer
by pulling on the "Break Away" power
cord.
WARNING:
Although your deep fryer
has a cool touch exterior, to avoid
possible injury or burns, never touch any
metal parts on the deep fryer because
they may be hot.
IMPORTANT
• Do not fill the frying basket with
frozen food when basket is immersed
in the hot oil.
• Place the food in the frying basket. Do
not drop food into hot cooking oil. Do
not overfill it and never exceed the
maximum quantities. For optimum
results and shorter frying time, fry
smaller quantities.
• The frying basket has a "MAX" line on
it. Do not fill the frying basket with
food over this line.
• Do not fill the basket higher than the
max line on the basket with frozen
food.
Frying Food
WARNING:
When frying foods, remove
the frying basket from the deep fryer
before filling with frozen food because oil
will spatter and can cause burns.
WARNING:
When frying frozen foods
such as French Fries, you should NOT
exceed 1/2 Lb. or less. Clean off any ice
from frozen food prior to frying. Failure to
do so may cause fryer to overflow when
food is placed in oil.
CAUTION:
Never plug in the control
panel when it is not assembled to the fryer
body. Do not immerse the control panel,
power cord or plug in water or any other
liquid.
CAUTION:
This unit should not be used
to boil water.
• Always use the frying basket to fry food.
• Always close the cover during frying.
• When the oil is pre-heated, ready
indicator light will come on indicating
the desired oil temperature has been
reached.
• Slowly lower the frying basket into the
hot oil. Lowering the frying basket too
quickly can result in the oil overflowing
and splashing.
• Replace the cover carefully.
• It is normal for steam to escape through
the sides of the cover while frying.
• Avoid standing too close to the deep
fryer while it is cooking.
WARNING:
When opening the cover
after frying, lift up the cover slightly, then
wait to allow steam to escape before
opening the cover completely. Keep face
away from unit to avoid burns caused by
escaping steam.
Frying tips
• To avoid condensation buildup on the
cover window - rub a little cooking oil
on window.
• Do not mix different oils or new and old
oil together.
• Replace oil regularly. In general, oil
used to fry food with protein, (such as
poultry, meat and fish) should not be
reused. When oil is used mainly to fry
potatoes and is filtered after each use,
it can be used up to 8 to 10 times, but
do not use the same oil for more than
6 months.
• Always replace all oil as soon as it
starts foaming when heated or when
color becomes dark or when it has a
rancid smell or taste or becomes
syrupy.
• Make sure that the food to be fried is
dry.
• Remove loose ice from frozen food
before frying.
• To cook evenly, pieces should be the
same size and thickness.
• Thicker pieces will take longer to cook.
