OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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
ardened in the oil container should be
removed from the oil container and
melted in a separate pan before reusing.
Warning:
If you try to melt the solidified
fat in the oil container, there is a risk of
warm melted fat suddenly sputtering from
below through the still solid top layer of
fat.
Therefore use only the following
procedure:
•
Make sure the fat is at room
temperature. If the fat is very cold, there
is a greater risk of splashing.
•
Using a fork, carefully make some holes
in the fat. Make sure the lid is securely
closed while fat is melting.
Set temperature dial to 320º F (160º C).

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.
Important
: Ensure the control panel is
fitted correctly to the main unit otherwise
the unit will not function. This is not a
defect. This product is fitted with a safety
interlock switch to prevent the unit from
turning on accidentally.
Pre-Heating
Warning
: Never plug in the Deep Fryer
before filling with oil. (See "Filling"
instructions on page 4.) Always unplug the
appliance when not in use.
•
Make sure the oil level in the oil
container is between the "minimum " and
"maximum lines inside the oil container.
Do NOT exceed the "MAX" line on the oil
container when filling with oil.
•
The frying basket should not be
immersed in the oil during the preheating.
•
Replace the lid cover.
•
Plug the appliance into a 120-volt outlet.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Warning:
In order to avoid injury or
burns, never touch any metal parts on the
deep fryer because they may be hot.
•
Pre-heating the oil will take up to 15
minutes depending on the temperature
selected.
•
The temperature indicator light will
come on when the temperature is set and
the deep fryer is "On" showing that the
heating element is in operation. This light
goes off when the set

Filling the Frying Basket
•
Do not fill the frying basket when it is
immersed in oil.
•
Place the food in the frying basket. Do
not overfill it and never exceed the
maximum quantities. For optimum
results and shorter frying time, basket
should be only 1/2 full.
•
The basket has approximately 1.5 lb.
food capacity. It will hold 3-4
average size pieces of chicken.
•
Do not fill the basket higher than the
MAX line on the basket with frozen
food.
Warning:
When frying foods, always
remove the frying basket from the deep
fryer before filling with food because oil
will spatter and cause burns. Be
especially cautious when frying frozen
foods.
Caution:
When frying frozen foods
such as French Fries, you should not
exceed 1.25 Lb. (564 gr.). For best crispy
results limit quantity to 1 Lb. (454 gr.).
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.
Frying Food
•
Always use the frying basket to fry
food.
•
Always close the lid cover during
frying.
•
When the oil is pre-heated, ready
indicator light will come on it indicating
that the desired temperature is
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 lid carefully.
•
It is normal for steam to escape
through the sides of the lid while frying.
•
Avoid standing too close to the deep
fryer while it is working.
Warning
: When opening the lid cover
after frying, lift up the lid slightly, then
wait to allow steam to escape before
opening the lid completely. Keep face
away from unit to avoid burns caused by
escaping steam.
At the End of Cooking
Warning:
When you have finished
frying, always turn the temperature
setting dial to lowest position, turn off
power switch and unplug the deep fryer
from wall outlet. To avoid injury or
burns, do not touch any metal surfaces
as they are hot.
•
Set the temperature setting dial to the
lowest position, (turn fully
counterclockwise.).
•
Turn On/Off switch to the "OFF"
position.
•
Unplug the main cord from the wall
socket.
•
Lift up the lid cover slowly and wait to
allow steam to escape before opening
the lid cover completely.
•
Lift up the frying basket by the handle.
Place it on the oil container and allow
the food to drain for a minute.
•
Once the oil has drained from the frying
basket, the basket may be lifted
off and the food served.
Warning:
Always let the deep fryer cool
completely (approximately 2 hours)
before cleaning or storing. Never carry
or move the deep fryer with hot oil inside
