OPERATING THE BASKET HANDLE

•If handle is loose and not connected to the basket; hold handle upside down and squeeze the ends together of the metal rods. While squeezing, bring ends between the two metal loops at the front of the basket and release the ends allowing them to engage the loops. Now you can fold up the handle into the locked position. (See Figure 1)

• Lift handle from the storage position and pull back until handle is easily locked into position. The handle will not be able to be moved forward if it is locked properly.

(See Figure 2)

•To store the basket, the basket handle can be moved back into the storage position by pushing the black handle forward until it has snapped out of the locked position. It will rest upside down on the basket floor. (See Figure 2)

•It is very important that you lock the handle into place before using the Fry Basket.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

• Read all the sections of this fold-out manual carefully.

• Remove the fryer from the packaging.

• Open the lid by lifting up on the lid handle.

• Remove all accessories and printed documents from the basket.

• Take out the basket.

• Take out the control box (with heater) by grasping and sliding upward.

• Clean the lid, filter cover, metal mesh filter, basket, cooking pot and the main body with hot water, a little dishwashing liquid and a sponge or put these parts into the dishwasher to clean.

• Clean the heater with hot water. Never immerse the control box in water. Dry thoroughly, being careful not to bend wires leading to thermostat.

FILLING THE COOKING POT WITH OIL

•Make sure the cooking pot is correctly positioned in the main body.

•Fill pot with oil. The oil level must be maintained between the minimum

and maximum level marks indicated on the inside of the pot. Check the level before each use and add oil if necessary.

•For healthier, crispier fried foods, we recommend you use a good quality vegetable oil, pure corn oil, sunflower oil or canola oil.

•Wipe inside of viewing window with a small amount of vegetable oil to help prevent condensation which can obstruct your view through the window while cooking.

PRE-HEATING

•During the first use, the fryer may give off a slight odor. This is normal and is due to the newness of the product.

•Do not use the fryer without the cooking pot, without oil or with an insufficient level (below the minimum level).
