Important Cord and Plug Information
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord. DO NOT USE WITH AN EXTENSION
CORD.
Do not allow the power supply cord to run underneath or around the appliance.
The magnetic cord assembly may not detach easily if the power supply cord
is positioned in this fashion. Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC
electrical outlet only.
Before First Use
Become familiar with the various parts of the deep fryer (Fig. A) and read the
instructions carefully.
Clean fryer
Wipe the fryer cover and cool-touch base with a damp cloth.
CAUTION! To avoid electrical shock, never immerse the fryer base, cord, or plug
in water or wash in a dishwasher.
Open the deep fryer cover by pushing the cover release button on the front of
the fryer.
Remove the frying basket, basket handle, charcoal filter, drip cup, cord, and any packaging
material from the deep fryer. Then lift the removable pot out of the fryer base.
Wash the basket (with the handle removed) and removable pot in hot, soapy water; rinse and dry
thoroughly. Washing these parts in a dishwasher is not recommended; see page 5 for specific
cleaning instructions.
NOTICE: If you choose to wash the removable pot in a dishwasher, it will likely discolor due to
the caustic nature of the dishwasher detergent. In addition, a gray residue may form on the pot
which may transfer onto towels and/or skin.
Position removable pot in fryer base
After cleaning, when lowering the removable pot back into the fryer base, make sure the ▼
the rim of the pot is aligned with the ▲ on the base. The unit will not function unless the pot is
lowered into the aligned position (Fig. B).
Install charcoal filter
The charcoal filter will help absorb unpleasant odors. For the deep fryer to effectively absorb
these odors, always use the fryer with the filter. The filter fits in the filter compartment in the
fryer cover (Fig. C).
To install (or replace) the filter, first close the fryer cover. Using both hands, push down on the
top front of the cover until it locks in place. Then, to install (or replace) the filter, lift up on the
back of the filter cover and detach it from the fryer. If replacing an old filter, remove and discard
it. Unwrap the new charcoal filter and insert it in the filter compartment so the notched end is
toward the window (Fig. C). Reattach the filter cover by pushing the tabs into the front of the
filter compartment. Then snap cover into place by pushing the back end down. Replacement filters
may be purchased through the Presto Consumer Service Department (see page 8).
Insert drip cup
Included with the deep fryer is a drip cup. Before use, be sure to place the drip cup into the opening in the
back of the fryer, with the rib side out (Fig. D). This cup collects condensation from the fryer cover when
the cover is opened after frying.
