Before Using Your Deep Fryer
DO NOT immerse the deep fryer in water. Filter is NOT washable. Always remove the filter from the cover before washing the cover.
Make sure the fryer is unplugged. Wash the fryer basket and cover in hot, soapy water. Wipe dry thoroughly. Wipe the inside of the oil reservoir with a damp cloth and wipe dry thoroughly before adding the oil.
Warning: All components must be completely dried before filling with oil or using. Special care must be taken to ensure the filter compartment and cover are completely dry, otherwise the filter will not function properly and may lead to steam being trapped within the fryer during use.
Assembling Your Deep Fryer Caution: Never turn on the deep fryer when the oil reservoir is empty. Always ensure the deep fryer is out of the reach of children. Always use the deep fryer on a flat, heat resistant surface.
1.Place filter into filter compartment. Insert filter cover and snap (lock) into place.
2.Make sure the temperature control is in the “Off” position.
3.Attach the “break-away” safety cord. The top of the cord can be identified by the “THIS SIDE UP” raised print.
(Fig. 1) When attaching cord - you will feel a magnetic pull on the cord when attaching cord correctly.
5.To attach the handle to the fryer basket, pinch the two handle ends together to insert the metal part of the handle inside the basket handle bracket on the fryer basket. (Fig. 3)

Filling the Oil Reservoir With Oil Warning: Never plug in the deep
fryer before filling with oil to specified level.
•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 and the maximum levels marked inside the oil reservoir. (Fig. 4) Check the oil level before each use. For best results, keep the oil close to the maximum level (4 cups / 1 liter). Never mix different oils and fats together. Do not mix old and
new oil.

Caution: If you try to melt the solidified fat in the oil reservoir, 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 cover is securely closed while fat is melting. Heat fat slowly - on lowest temperature setting.
Using Your Deep Fryer Caution: Never turn on the deep fryer when the oil reservoir is empty. Always ensure the deep fryer is out of the reach of children. Always use the deep fryer on a flat, heat resistant surface.

Note: The indicator light will cycle off and on during the frying cycle as the unit maintains the selected temperature.
4.To remove the cover, hold it from the handles and tilt the cover away from you to allow steam to escape before removing the cover completely. (Fig. 5)
5.Lift the fryer basket onto the fryer basket holder mount. (Fig. 6) Place food into the fryer basket, carefully lower the fryer basket back into the heated oil and replace the cover.

Using Solid Fat
Warning: It is NOT RECOMMENDED
to put solid shortening in the oil reservoir or the fryer basket.
•If using solid vegetable shortening, melt it first in a separate pan and then very carefully pour the melted fat into the oil reservoir.
•Previously used solid vegetable shortening which has curdled and hardened in the oil reservoir should be removed from the oil reservoir and melted in a separate pan before reusing.

Important: Always replace or remove the frying basket carefully when cooking. Caution: Never touch any metal parts on the deep fryer as they may be hot. Warning: Never use the break-away safety cord to turn the deep fryer “Off”. Always turn unit Off by using the temperature control first. Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. Use only the power cord provided with the deep fryer. Use of any other magnetic cord could cause fire, electric shock or injury.
