■ Use caution when deep frying flour tortillas. Flour tortillas contain air bubbles. During deep frying, oil can become trapped within
these bubbles. If not properly drained, the bubbles can burst and cause burns. Therefore, after deep frying tortillas, carefully raise
them out of the cooking oil and allow oil to drain from the tortillas for approximately 30 seconds.
■ Use caution when deep frying raw fries. See special notes below and the Frying Timetable and Raw French Fries recipe on
page 4.
■ Always remove plug from wall outlet and then from deep fryer when unit is not in use.
■ Always allow fryer to cool completely with cover closed before removing oil and cleaning.
How To Use
Check the rubber pads on the bottom of the deep fryer before each use to be sure they are free of oil and other debris. Wipe pads with a
warm, soapy cloth if necessary and dry thoroughly.
Place deep fryer on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from countertop edge.
To fill with oil...
1. open deep fryer cover to upright position. If the frying basket is in the fryer, remove it and set it aside.
2. Fill fryer with cooking oil or shortening up to the maximum oil level line (MAX), which is located on the inside of the unit
(Fig. D). Use six, 8-ounce cups of cooking oil or three pounds of shortening. Do not allow the oil to go beneath the MIn level
mark.
To preheat...
1. Close the fryer cover.
2. Attach the cord to the unit by aligning the magnetic plug end of the cord assembly
with the two electrical pins located in the recessed area of the fryer base. When
properly aligned, the plug will magnetically attach itself to the appliance. For proper
connection, the magnetic plug end must be parallel with the countertop (Fig. E).
Important: The magnetic cord was designed to detach easily from the fryer. As a
result, if it is bumped or touched during use, it could possibly detach causing the
unit to stop heating. Avoid contact with cord during operation. If contact occurs,
verify that the cord is still properly connected.
3. Plug cord into a 120VAC electrical wall outlet only. The fryer is now "on" and will remain on until unplugged.
note: When using the fryer for the first time, a slight odor or light smoking may occur as manufacturing residue evaporates. This is
normal during initial use.
4. Preheat oil for 15 minutes. While oil is preheating, prepare food for cooking.
Warning: To prevent risk of severe personal injury or property damage, use caution when cooking with hot oil.
To fry...
1. Assemble basket handle for frying, see page 2.
2. Place frying basket on countertop. Basket can be filled to the rim for most foods.
NOTE: For raw fries, only fry 2 cups at a time.
3. open fryer cover to upright position, using the cover handle. Be careful not to touch hot surfaces.
4. Place the filled frying basket over the deep fryer so the handle is centered with the front of the unit and the drain hooks rest on the
fryer rim. If frying french fries or other high moisture foods leave cover in open position. For other foods close the cover, fitting the
cover grooves over the basket handle.
5. Lift the basket to disengage the drain hooks from the fryer rim and slowly lower the basket into the oil.
Note: When lowering basket that contains raw fries, do not allow the oil to bubble up to the rim of the fryer. If it appears that the
oil will bubble up to the rim, raise the basket and allow the oil bubbles to subside and then slowly lower the basket again. Repeat
until the basket is completely lowered into the fryer.
6. Begin timing. Refer to page 4 for recommended times.
CAUTION: It is normal for steam to escape from the cover vents during frying. To prevent steam burns, keep hands and
face away from the vents.
7. When frying time has elapsed, open the cover using the cover handle. Tilt the cover back to an upright position being careful not
to touch the hot surfaces. Lift the basket and check to see that the food is golden brown. If more cooking time is needed, lower the
basket into the oil and close the cover.
8. once the food is done carefully lift the basket and hook it onto the rim of the fryer, using the drain hooks. Allow oil to drain from
food and then empty the food on absorbent paper. Season to taste.
9. If frying additional food, close fryer cover and wait for ready light to go out. Then repeat steps 2 through 8.
