Prior to first use, remove all packaging materials from the exterior and interior of the
fryer. Make sure the fryer is unplugged. Wash the Frying Basket and removable Oil
Reservoir in hot soapy water. Gently wipe the Cool-Zone Heating Element with
a damp cloth. Dry all parts thoroughly. See CARE AND CLEANING section.
CAUTION: Do not immerse cord, plugs or control panel assembly in water.

ipS For eep rYing
• Fill the unit with oil between the maximum and minimum capacity lines only.
• Do not over fill the basket. To achieve quality results deep frying food needs to be
surrounded by oil. Too much food causes the oil temperature to drop, resulting in
"soggy" food. Food should be no higher than the top of the basket.
• Be sure that all ice crystals are removed from the food and food is completely dry.
Excessive water and ice can cause the oil to splatter and/or overflow.
• Coated foods (bread crumbs, batters, etc.) are best for deep frying. The coating acts
as a protective layer keeping food moist on the inside and crisp on the outside.
• For best results, defrost frozen foods for 20 minutes prior to frying.
• Fry foods at the correct temperature for best results. This will prevent burning and
give you even colored, crispy food.
• Prepackaged frozen, cooked chicken, may cook faster than uncooked food.
• For even cooking, shake basket half way through cooking time.

NOTE: Never turn on the fryer with an empty Oil Reservoir. Always use your fryer on
a flat, heat resistant surface.
• Attach magnetic end of Sure Release power cord assembly directly to the fryer. This
should be done prior to plugging the cord into the wall outlet. The magnetic end of
the cord is designed only to go on one way. Be sure the side stating "THIS SIDE UP"
is facing up.
• Open Lid by pressing the Lid Open Button.
• Remove Frying Basket by sliding handle button downward and pulling the Basket
Handle up.
• Make sure the Oil Reservoir is seated in place with the "MIN" and "MAX" marks
on the side opposite of the Control Panel. Pour cooking oil into Oil Reservoir until it
reaches between "MIN" and "MAX" marks inside reservoir. DO NOT OVER OR
UNDER FILL.
• Place Lid onto the unit by placing it on the hinge guides at the back of the fryer.
• Make sure that fryer is OFF and insert plug into 120 volt AC outlet.
• Turn fryer to desired temperature position.
• Turn Timer knob to "ON" position. Power Light will turn on.
• Ready light will turn on when oil is pre-heated. Press the Open Lid button and place
Frying Basket onto basket hook inside Oil Reservoir behind Control Panel.
• Place food inside Frying Basket (Do not over stack food). Close lid. Lower Frying
Basket into Oil Reservoir. CAUTION: Always replace and close Lid before
immersing food in oil. Do not immerse or drain food with Lid removed or open.
