OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Frying Tips
• Do not mix different oils or new and
old oil together.
• Replace oil regularly. In general, oil
will be tainted fast when frying food
containing a lot of protein, (such as
poultry, meat and fish). 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, when
color becomes dark, 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. Rinse and pat dry.
• To cook evenly, pieces should be the
same size and thickness.
• Thicker pieces will take longer to
cook.
Important: When frying frozen food
such as French Fries in the frying
basket, you should not exceed 1.25
lb. (568 gr.). For best results, limit
quantity to 1 Lb. (454 gr.) or less.
Temperature Settings
The following cooking times reflect only the approximate time needed to fry one
basket 1/2 full. The exact time may be different depending on actual quantity,
personal cooking preferences, size and thickness of pieces, etc...
In general, use lower settings for delicate foods (vegetables, fish) and higher settings
for frozen foods, French Fries and Chicken.

Filtering & Changing The Oil
• Make sure the deep fryer is unplugged
and the oil has cooled before cleaning
or storing the deep fryer.
• The oil does not need to be changed
after each use. In general, the oil will
be tainted rather quickly when frying
food containing a lot of protein (such
as poultry, meat or fish). When oil is
mainly used to fry potatoes and is
filtered after each use, it can be used 8
to 10 times. However, do not use the
same oil for longer than 6 months.
• To filter the oil first make sure the oil
has cooled. Remove the glass oil
container carefully and then empty the oil
from the glass oil container into another
container or bottle. Fig. 6
• Wash and dry the glass oil container and
basket. Refill the oil container with the
oil, pouring the oil through a wire
strainer or paper filter. Fig. 7

Using for the First Time
Warning:
Never plug in the control
panel when it is not installed in the
fryer body with heating element in the oil
container. Do not immerse the control
panel, cord or plug in water.
Warning:
This unit should not be
used to boil water.
Prior To First Use, Clean The Unit
Thoroughly
Warning:
Always let the fryer cool
completely for 2 hours before taking it apart
for cleaning. Never carry or move the
Glass Deep Fryer with hot oil inside.
Before cleaning, always make sure the
magnetic power plug is not in the wall
socket.
• All components with the exception of the
electrical parts, can be washed in warm
soapy water. Dry thoroughly before use.
• Use basket handles to remove the
frying basket. Always make sure the
basket handle is securely attached to
the basket. To attach the handle to the
frying basket, insert the metal part of
the handle inside the metal bracket on
Fig. 7
the frying basket. Lift the handle up over
the basket to secure in place.
(Fig. 1)
• Lift the control panel with heating
element out of its slots by pushing it up
from the bottom with one hand while
holding the body of the deep fryer with
your other hand.
• Remove the oil container.

Warning:
be completely dried before filling
with oil or using. Special care must be
taken to ensure the filter in the lid is
completely dry, otherwise the filter will
not function properly and may lead to
steam being trapped within the fryer
during use.
Warning:
when filling the basket with food.
Filling the Glass Container With Oil
Warning:
Fryer before filling with oil to
specified level. Always place the control
panel into the glass oil container before
filling because the "MIN" and "MAX"
levels are shown on the element support
plate. (See fig. 2) 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 (rapeseed) oil. Do not use
olive oil, margarine, lard or drippings.
• The oil level must always be maintained
between the minimum marked inside the
oil container. Maximum oil capacity is
12.5 cups (3 liters). Check the oil level on
the control panel before each use. For
best results, keep the oil close to the
maximum level (12.5 cups/3 liters). Fig. 2
• Never mix different oils and fats together.
Do not mix old and new oil.
