Prior To First Use, Clean The Unit Thoroughly

Warning: Always let the fryer cool completely for 2 hours before taking it apart for cleaning. Never carry or move the Deep Fryer with hot oil inside. Before cleaning, always make sure the plug is not in the wall socket.

•All components with the exception of the electrical parts, can be washed in warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly before use.

•Always use basket handle to remove the frying basket. Always make sure the basket handle is securely attached to the basket. To attach the handle to the frying basket, pinch the handle ends together to fit into the metal bracket on the frying basket. Pull handle towards you to lock into place. (Fig. 1)

MAX

Food Level

Warning: Never immerse the control panel in water or any other liquids. Caution: All components must be completely dried before filling with oil or using. Special care must be taken to ensure the washable oil filter in the lid is completely dry, otherwise the filter will not function properly and may lead to steam being trapped within the fryer during use. Warning: Never exceed "MAX" line when filling the basket with food.

Filling the Oil Container

Warning: Never plug in the deep fryer before filling with oil to specified level. Always make sure control panel is securely in place in the body and the heating element is inside the oil in the container before plugging in.

•Use blended vegetable oil, pure corn oil or canola (rapeseed) oil. Do not use olive oil, margarine, lard or drippings.

•The oil level must always be maintained between the minimum (12 cups / 2.8 liters) and the maximum (8.4 quarts / 8 liters) levels marked inside the oil container. Check the oil level before each use. For best results, keep the oil close to the maximum level. (Fig. 2)

•Never mix different oils and fats together. Do not mix old and new oil.

Warning: Do not put solid shortening in the oil container or the frying basket.

•If using solid vegetable shortening, melt it first in a separate pan and then very carefully pour the melted fat into the oil container.

•Previously used solid vegetable shortening which has curdled and hardened in the oil tank should be removed from the oil container and melted in a separate pan before reusing.

Warning: If you try to melt the solidified fat in the oil container, there is a risk of warm melted fat suddenly sputtering from below through the still solid top layer of fat. Therefore use only the following procedure:

•Make sure the fat is at room temperature. If the fat is very cold, there is a greater risk of splashing.

•Using a fork, carefully make some holes in the fat. Make sure the lid is securely closed while fat is melting. Set temperature dial to 320º F (160º C).

Installing the “Control Panel With the Heating Element” Into Place

•Lift up the control panel with heating element. (Fig. 3)

•Insert the control panel into the mounting boss on the deep fryer body. (Fig. 4)

Note: The Automatic Safety Interlock Switch ensures that the unit will not operate unless the control panel has been inserted into the mounting boss of the deep fryer body correctly. This is not a defect. This product is fitted with a safety switch to prevent the unit from turning on accidentally.

Warning: Never plug in the Deep Fryer before filling with oil to specified level. Always make sure control panel is securely in place in the body and the heating element is inside the oil in the container before plugging in.

Important: Ensure the control panel is fitted correctly to the main unit otherwise the unit will not function. This is not a defect. This product is fitted with a safety interlock switch to prevent the unit from turning on accidentally.
