Warning and Safety Instructions
Repairs on electrical appliances
should only be performed by quali-
fied personnel. Do not repair or replace
any part of the appliance unless specifi-
cally recommended in this manual.
Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother any fire or flame or use a
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or
damp potholders used on hot sur-
faces can result in steam burns. Do not
let the potholder touch the hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other
bulky item near the appliance.
Do not store items of interest to
children in cabinets above or be-
hind the Fryer – children climbing on
the Fryer to reach these items could be
seriously injured.
This appliance should only be oper-
ated after being correctly installed.
Always ensure food is sufficiently
cooked or reheated.
Many factors affect overall cooking
time, including the size and amount of
food, its temperature and changes to
the recipe.
Some foods may contain micro organ-
isms which are only destroyed by thor-
ough cooking, therefore it is important
that the food is thoroughly cooked. If in
doubt select a longer cooking or reheat-
ing time.
Do not leave the Fryer unattended
while in use. Over-heated oil can
catch fire. Do not allow an open flame
in the vicinity of the Fryer.
Warning and Safety Instructions
Frying oil can normally be used
6-10 times. Between each use the
oil should be poured through a strainer
lined with a paper towel. Oil containing
impurities may ignite.
Turn on the Fryer only after the lid
is removed and it is filled with oil.
Do not store hot oil in plastic con-
tainers. Plastic melts!
The frying oil is no longer usable
and must be changed when it
becomes dark and thick, smells un-
pleasant and froths, or when it begins
to smoke at a temperature of 340° F
(170° C) or less.
Discard the used and cool oil or
grease in the trash. Do not pour it
down the sink. Oil and grease can
block the drain pipes.
Do not use a steam-cleaner to
clean the Deep Fryer.
The steam could penetrate to electrcal
components and cause a short circuit.
