Important Fryer Guidelines
• Use deep fryer only on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from countertop edge.
• CAUTION! Hot oil can cause serious and painful burns. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• 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 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 paper towels.
• CAUTION! When deep frying doughs, such as beignets, donuts, dumplings, hushpuppies, and fritters, use the scoop provided or tongs,
rather than a fork, to turn food during frying and to remove food from oil. These foods may develop air bubbles during heating, which
may burst and cause burns.
• CAUTION! 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.
• 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. Do not let the cord or plug come in contact with water or other liquid.
• Use vegetable shortening or vegetable oil, such as canola, corn, peanut, sunflower, or soybean for deep frying. Deep frying foods in
butter, margarine, olive oil, or animal fat is not recommended because of lower smoking temperatures.
• Always remove plug 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. Rinse 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 the MAX oil level line, which is located on inside of unit (Fig. A). Never use more than
four, 8-ounce cups of cooking oil or two pounds of shortening. Do not allow the oil to go beneath the MIN level mark.
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).
NOTE: The magnetic cord was designed to detach easily from the fryer. As a result, if bumped or touched
during use, the cord could detach, causing the unit to stop heating. Avoid contact with cord during oper-
ation. If contact occurs, verify cord is still properly connected.
6. Plug cord into a 120VAC electrical wall outlet only. The unit is now on and will remain on until unplugged.
NOTE: As the deep fryer heats up, you may hear a knocking sound. This is due to the expansion of the
metal as it heats. It is normal.
7. Preheat oil for 15 minutes.
8. Gently place 1 to 4 cups of food into unit. Use the provided scoop to lessen spattering of hot oil.
NOTE: If the plug accidentally detaches from the fryer during operation, remove plug from wall outlet.
Reattach the cord following steps 5 and 6 on above. Use extreme caution as unit will be hot.
9. Occasionally stir food gently while frying to prevent foods from sticking together. Use scoop provided
or other heat-resistant utensil.
10. When food reaches desired brownness, use scoop to lift food out of oil. Hold scoop
over the opening of the fryer for a few seconds to allow excess oil to drain.
Cooking oil tends to varnish when dripped onto the exterior of a hot fryer and become
a permanent part of the surface, which even abrasive cleaners may not be able to
completely remove.
