Warning: In order to avoid injury or burns, never touch any metal parts on the deep fryer because they may be hot.

Filling the Frying Basket

•Do not fill the frying basket when it is immersed in oil.

•Place the food in the frying basket. Do not overfill it and never exceed the maximum quantities. For optimum results and shorter frying time, basket should be only 1/2 full.

•The basket has approximately 1.5 lb. food capacity. It will hold 4-5 average size pieces of chicken.

•Do not fill the basket higher than the MAX line on the basket with frozen food.

Warning: When frying foods, remove the frying basket from the deep fryer before filling with frozen food because oil will spatter and cause burns.

Caution: When frying frozen foods such as French Fries, you should not exceed

1.25Lb. (564 gr.) or less. Clean off any ice from frozen food prior to frying. Failure to do so may cause fryer to overflow when food is placed in oil.

Frying Food

•Always use the frying basket to fry food.

•Always close the lid cover during frying.

•When the oil is pre-heated, ready indicator light will come on it indicating that the desired temperature is reached.

•Slowly lower the frying basket into the hot oil. Lowering the frying basket too quickly can result in the oil overflowing and splashing.

•Replace the lid carefully.

•It is normal for steam to escape through the sides of the lid while frying.

•Avoid standing too close to the deep fryer while it is working.

Warning: When opening the lid cover after frying, lift up the lid slightly, then wait to allow steam to escape before opening the lid completely. Keep face away from unit to avoid burns caused by escaping steam.

At the End of Cooking

•Press the power button and the power off.

•Unplug the main cord from the wall socket.

•Lift up the lid cover slowly and wait to allow steam to escape before opening the lid cover completely.

•Lift up the frying basket by the handle. Place it on the oil container and allow the food to drain for a minute.

•Once the oil has drained from the frying basket, the basket may be lifted off and the food served.

Warning: Always let the deep fryer cool completely (approximately 2 hours) before cleaning or storing. Never carry or move the deep fryer with hot oil inside.

Frying Tips

•Do not mix different oils or new and old oil together.

•Replace oil regularly. In general, oil will be tainted fast when frying food containing a lot of protein, (such as poultry, meat and fish). When oil is used mainly to fry potatoes and is filtered after each use, it can be used up to 8 to 10 times, but do not use the same oil for more than 6 months.

•Always replace all oil as soon as it starts foaming when heated or when color becomes dark or when it has a rancid smell or taste or becomes syrupy.

•Make sure that the food to be fried is dry.

•Remove loose ice from frozen food before frying.

•To cook evenly, pieces should be the same size and thickness.

•Thicker pieces will take longer to cook.

The following cooking times reflect only the approximate time needed to fry one basket 1/2 full. The exact time may be different depending on actual quantity, personal cooking preferences, size and thickness of pieces, etc...

Filtering & Changing The Oil

•	Make sure the deep fryer is unplugged
	and the oil has cooled before cleaning
	or storing the deep fryer.
•	The oil does not need to be changed
	after each use. In general, the oil will
	be tainted rather quickly when frying
	food containing a lot of protein (such
	as poultry, meat or fish). When oil is
	mainly used to fry potatoes and is	Fig. 4
	filtered after each use, it can be used 8
	to 10 times. However, do not use the
	same oil for longer than 6 months.

•To filter the oil first make sure the oil has cooled and then empty the oil from the oil container into another container or bottle. Fig. 4

Wash and dry the oil container and basket. Refill the oil container with the

oil, pouring the oil through a wire	Fig. 5
strainer or paper filter. Fig. 5
