Important Cord Information

A short detachable power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over
a longer cord. DO NOT USE WITH AN EXTENSION CORD.
Do not allow the cord to run underneath or around the unit. The magnetic cord may not detach easily if the cord is
positioned in this fashion.
Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
Important Safety Information
WARNING! Burn Hazards
• Hot oil can cause serious and painful burns. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
• Oil and water do not mix. The combination can be dangerous. Accordingly, before pouring oil into the fryer be
sure it is COMPLETELY DRY. In addition, before placing food in deep fryer, always remove ice crystals and excess
moisture from food by patting dry with paper towels. When the oil is heated, any water droplets in the oil superheat,
becoming a volatile steam that can cause hot oil to spatter, boil over, or even erupt out of the deep fryer.
• Use caution when frying doughs, such as beignets, donuts, dumplings, hushpuppies, and fritters. These foods may
develop air bubbles during heating, which may burst and cause burns. Use the scoop provided or a tongs, rather than a
fork, to turn food during frying and to remove food from oil.
• Use caution when frying flour tortillas. Flour tortillas contain air bubbles. During frying, oil can become trapped
within these bubbles. If not properly drained, the bubbles can burst and cause burns. Accordingly, after frying, care-
fully raise the tortillas out of the vegetable oil and allow to drain for approximately 30 seconds.
WARNING! Electrical Hazards
To avoid the risk of electrocution or severe disfiguring electrical burns:
• Do not let cord or plug come in contact with water or other liquid.
• Do not let children handle or put electrical cords or plugs in their mouths.

Important Fryer Guidelines

Use deep fryer only on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from countertop edge.
Use only vegetable oils, such as peanut, canola, corn, sunflower, soybean, and light olive oil. These oils can withstand
the high temperatures required for deep frying. Do not use extra virgin olive oil or other vegetable oils as they
deteriorate at temperatures below those required for deep frying.
Deep frying foods in butter, margarine, or animal fat is not recommended because of lower smoking temperatures.
Avoid preheating oil longer than necessary and unplug the fryer once the last batch of food has been removed. The
longer the oil is heated, the more it deteriorates.
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.
If unit fails to preheat or if the cooking process stops, check cord assemply to assure magnetic plug is attached to the
appliance and the cord is plugged into the wall outlet.
How To Use
Before using for the first time, wash scoop, divider, and interior of unit with warm, sudsy water and dry thoroughly.
CAUTION! To avoid electrical shock, never immerse unit in water or other liquid, or wash in dishwasher.
1. Remove plastic cover.
2. Check the rubber pads on the bottom of the unit 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, away from the edge.
4. If you want to fry two foods at once and keep them separate when frying, use the divider. Place the divider into the
deep fryer prior to adding oil or plugging the unit in. If you want to fry big batches or large pieces of chicken or
fish, do not use the divider.
