Important Cord and Plug Information

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit
into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
A short 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.

Before First Use

Become familiar with the various parts of
the deep fryer (Fig. A1) and read the instruc-
tions carefully.
Remove all packing material and disas-
semble unit for cleaning. Take the fry/
steam basket out of the unit. Remove the
cord assembly from the basket and set
aside. Then, lift the control assembly out
of the unit. Wipe the control assembly
(control unit with heating element) with a
damp cloth. Never immerse the control
assembly, cord, or plug in water. Lift the
removable pot out of the base and wash the
pot, fry/steam basket, and fryer cover in
dishwasher or in warm, sudsy water. Rinse
and dry thoroughly.

Reset Button

The deep fryer is equipped with a sensor
which will automatically shut the unit off
if it is overheated. Overheating can occur
if the unit is heated without or with insuf-
ficient oil or water. It can also occur when
using solid fat or older oil that has become thick. Should the unit shut off, unplug and allow the unit to cool. Correct the cause of over-
heating. Then, with the tip of a small screwdriver, press the red RESET button on the back of the control unit (Fig. A2). The unit will
not operate until it is reset.

Important Fryer Guidelines

◆ Use deep fryer only on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from countertop edge.
◆ Hot oil can cause serious and painful burns. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
◆ To avoid the risk of electrocution or severe disfiguring electrical burns, do not let children handle or put electrical cords or plugs
in their mouths.
