Fig. C must be parallel with the countertop.

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.

6.Plug cord into a 120 volt wall outlet. The unit is now “ON” and will remain on until unplugged.

7.Preheat oil for 10 minutes.

8.Gently place 1 to 4 cups of food into unit. Use scoop to lessen spattering of hot oil.

Note: If the plug accidentally detaches from the fryer during operation, reattach the cord following step 5. Use extreme caution as unit will be hot.

9.Occasionally stir food gently while frying to prevent foods from sticking together. Do not use plastic utensils in hot cooking oil.

10.When food reaches desired brownness, lift and drain with scoop. Place food on absorbent paper. Season to taste. Repeat steps 8, 9, and 10 for additional servings.

CAUTION: To avoid risk of burns, do not touch the aluminum portion of the handle when unit is hot. Only the plastic grip in the center portion of the handle may be grasped.

Care and Cleaning

1.Unplug cord from wall outlet and then from deep fryer. Then, allow oil and fryer to cool completely in a safe place.

2.After unit and oil have cooled completely, empty cooking oil, or cover unit with storage lid.

3.Wash unit and scoop with warm water and mild detergent, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Never immerse unit in water or other liquid, or wash in dishwasher.

4.Do not use steel wool scouring pads or abrasive kitchen cleaners on the nonstick finish.

5.Occasionally clean the interior of unit with a commercial cleanser designed for nonstick surfaces, such as dip-it

destainer*. Follow manufacturer’s directions.

6.Store the cord in a clean, dry location away from metal objects. Always check the magnetic plug before use to assure metal items have not become attached.

Helpful Hints

❖If unit fails to preheat or if the cooking process stops, check cord assembly to assure plug is properly attached to the appliance (see Fig. C).

❖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.

❖Before deep frying, always remove excess moisture from food by blotting with toweling. Moist foods cause excess foaming and spattering.

❖When preparing your favorite recipes, fry 1 to 4 cups food, in unit, at a time. If too much food is fried at the same time, the food will not get crisp.

❖For breading or coating foods, use commercial breading, finely ground bread or cracker crumbs, corn meal, mixture of corn meal and flour, pancake mix, or prepared bread mixes.

❖Use only metal cooking utensils in the fryer as plastic or rubber will become damaged from the hot oil. Do not leave metal utensils in the fryer as they will become hot.

❖After each use strain oil through a filter or a double thickness of cheesecloth to remove the accumulated residue.

❖It is time to replace the cooking oil if any of the following occur:

The oil is dark in color.

The oil has an unpleasant odor.

The oil smokes when it is heated.

The oil foams excessively during frying.
