OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using Your Deep Fryer
Make sure the deep fryer is unplugged from electrical outlet. Wash the frying basket and oil container in hot, soapy water. Wipe dry thoroughly. Wipe the removable heating control panel and heating elements with a damp, soapy cloth. Wipe dry thoroughly.
Note: Any water left in oil container or on frying basket can cause heated oil to splatter or “pop” during cooking. Special care should be taken to ensure that the oil filter in the removable cover is completely dry, otherwise the filter will not function properly. If not dry, steam may be trapped within the fryer during use and cause serious burns when opened.
Assembling Your Deep Fryer
CAUTION: Never turn on the fryer when the oil pan is empty. Always ensure the fryer is out of the reach of children.
Always use fryer on a flat, heat resistant surface.
1.Place oil container inside the base of the deep fryer.
2.Slide the control panel with the heating element downward until it connects with the control panel terminal on the outside of the fryer. The automatic safety switch ensures that the unit will not operate unless the control panel has been inserted correctly into the electric interface on the control panel terminal. ( Fig. 1)

Filling the Oil Container
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 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 container.
Check the oil level before each use. For best results, keep the oil close to the maximum level on the oil container. (Fig. 5)
•Never mix different oils and fats together. Do not mix old and new oil.
