BEFORE FIRST USE

With hardly any assembly required, you can be frying in no time!

1. Carefully unpack the Fry Guy and all parts. Read and remove all stickers, except for the rating label on the bottom of the unit, which should remain on.
2. Clean the interior and exterior surfaces of the deep fryer with a damp cloth or sponge. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. Never immerse the deep fryer or cord in water or any other liquid.
3. Position the deep fryer on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface.NOTE: We recommend using a separate outlet and circuit from other appliances when using the deep fryer to avoid overloading the circuit.

HOW TO ATTACH THE FRY BASKET HANDLE

For safety reasons, be sure the basket handle is attached securely. The basket handle can remain in place for cleaning and storage or can be removed after each use to store more compactly.

1. Attach the handle to the basket by pressing in on the tabs and inserting into the holes of the basket until it locks into place as illustrated.
2. Check that the handle is securely in place by pulling on it. Both prongs should be in the round holes, and both sides of the handle should be secured by the tabs on the bracket.
   

HOW TO USE YOUR DEEP FRYER

1. Fill the tank with cooking oil between the MIN and MAX fill lines. Never heat the fryer without oil.
   
2. Attach the magnetic connector end of the cord into the back of the unit, then plug in the other end of the cord into a dedicated outlet.
   
3. Set the temperature using the control knob. The indicator light will turn on as the oil heats and will turn off when the oil reaches the selected temperature.
   
4. Place food in the wire basket, then slowly lower the basket into the oil.
   
   Do not overload the basket.
   

5. Close the fryer lid, and fry food according to your recipe or to desired doneness.
   NOTE: Adding food naturally cools the oil, causing the indicator light to turn back on. The light will turn off when the set temperature is again reached.
   
6. When your food is done, carefully lift the lid. Use the handle to lift the basket and hook it above the oil. Allow excess oil to drain back into the tank.
   
   To avoid risk of burns, do not touch any other parts of the fryer when hot.
   
7. Carefully remove the basket from the unit, remove the food from the basket, and serve.
   
8. Turn off the unit, unplug, and let cool completely before cleaning the unit.
   

DEEP FRYING TIPS

• Before deep frying, remove excess moisture from food by blotting with a paper towel. Moist foods cause excess foaming and splattering. Even small amounts of water may cause oil to splatter.
• Use only good-quality vegetable oil for deep frying. Deep frying foods in butter, margarine, olive oil, or animal fat is not recommended because those fats begin to smoke at a lower temperature.
• Avoid overfilling. Putting too much food in the fryer at one time will lower the oil temperature excessively, causing your food to absorb more oil and become greasy.
• Have a landing spot ready for your fried food to drain excess oil, such as a paper towel-lined plate or a wire cooling rack set in a rimmed baking sheet.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Before cleaning, unplug from the outlet, detach the cord from the unit, and allow the oil and unit to cool completely. (The oil can take at least 2 hours to cool.) Do not attempt to move the deep fryer while it is still hot.
2. Detach the lid by grasping both sides firmly and pulling up from the unit until it pops off. Empty the cooled unit of the cooking oil.
3. Using a soft sponge or cloth, wash the unit tank and fry basket with warm water and mild detergent, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
   
   Never immerse the Fry Guy or cord in water or any other liquid or place in the dishwasher. Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to clean the Fry Guy, as they may damage the surfaces.
4. The lid and fry basket are top-rack dishwasher-safe. Remove the basket handle before washing in the dishwasher.
5. Be sure all parts are clean and dry before storing. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance; keep it loosely coiled.
