Important Fryer Guidelines

uUse deep fryer only on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from countertop edge.

uClose supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Hot oil can cause serious and painful burns.

uTo avoid the risk of electrocution or severe disfiguring electrical burns, do not let children handle or put electrical cords or plugs in their mouths.

uTo avoid the risk of electrocution or electrical burns, do not let the control unit, cord, or plug come in contact with water or other liquid.

uNever use the deep fryer without the removable pot.

uNever use the deep fryer without oil or with insufficient oil. Also, never exceed the maximum fill level. The minimum (MIN) and maximum (MAX) fill levels are embossed inside the removable pot (Fig. A1, page 2).

uUse only a good, reliable standard brand of cooking oil for deep frying. Deep frying foods in olive oil is not recommended because it has a lower smoking temperature.

uDo not use solid fat (shortening, butter, margarine, lard). Solid fat will not melt uniformly and will cause severe smoking. It may also cause the unit to overheat resulting in the reset button tripping. In addition, solid fat will solidify once it has cooled making it very difficult to remove or insert the control assembly.

uBefore deep frying, remove ice crystals and excess moisture from food by blotting with toweling—moist foods cause excess foaming and/or spattering and may cause oil to overflow. Do not add wet food to cooking oil. Even small amounts of moisture may cause the oil to spatter, foam, and/or overflow.

uDo not use cover while frying french fries and other high moisture foods.

uAlways unplug cord from wall outlet and then from deep fryer when unit is not in use.

uAlways allow fryer to cool completely before removing any parts, before removing oil, and before cleaning.

Basket Handle Assembly/Storage

Your fryer will be shipped with the basket handle in the storage position (Fig. B1). When ready to use the basket for frying, simply lift the handle out of the basket. Then, gently squeeze the drain hooks (Fig. C), keeping the pegs in the bracket holes, and fit the handle bars in the brackets (Fig. D). The handle is now in the locked position (Fig. B2).

To unlock the basket handle for storage, gently squeeze the drain hooks (Fig. C), keeping the pegs in the bracket holes, and fold the handle into the basket.
