Step 3: BEGIN HEATING

After selecting the desired temperature setting, place the cover on the fryer and press the Start/Cancel button on the control panel to start the oil heating. (The fryer chimes once each time the Start/Cancel button

is pressed.)

The heating icon flashes to indicate the fryer is preheating. The deep fryer preheats in about 15 to 17 minutes.

When the fryer is used for the first time, a slight odor or light smoking may occur as manufacturing residue evaporates. This is normal during initial use.

Step 4: PREPARE FOOD FOR FRYING

While oil is preheating:

a. Prepare food for frying, making sure to remove excess moisture from food by blotting with paper toweling. Moist foods can cause excess foaming, spattering, and overflow of oil.

b. Assemble basket handle for frying. (See Before Each Use on page 7).

c.Set basket on countertop and fill up to 2/3 full with food.

Step 5: SET THE TIMER (Optional)

NOTE: The timer works independently from the fryer’s heating unit. It does not turn power on or off to the heating element.

To set the timer, press the Time Select button to choose from times in 1 minute increments from a minimum of 1 minute to a maximum of 30 minutes. To rapidly cycle through the time options, press and hold the Time Select button.

Step 6: POSITION BASKET OF FOOD OVER HOT OIL

When the deep fryer reaches the selected temperature, it chimes and the Ready icon illuminates. The unit is now ready for use.

Remove the cover and attach the filled fry basket to the bowl, putting the drain hook onto the ledge inside the bowl.

Position the cover over the basket, with the vent area away from the basket handles and the two slots in the cover fitting over the handles.
