Step 7: START THE TIMER (Optional)
If desired, start the timer by pressing the Start/Cancel button. The display will begin to count down the amount of cook time remaining. When cooking is complete and the timer expires, the deep fryer will chime three times.
CAUTION
The chimes that sound at the end of the cooking time DO NOT indicate that the deep fryer has powered off. To avoid accidental burning or other injury, use caution, since the deep fryer and its contents remain hot.
Step 8: LOWER BASKET OF FOOD INTO HOT OIL
Keeping cover over basket, lift up slightly on basket handle to disengage basket drain hook from bowl and slowly lower basket down into oil until the basket rests on its supports over the heating element. The cover ensures that hot oil does not splatter up out of fryer.
Food should be golden brown. If cover is on, look through the viewing window in the cover. If additional cooking time is needed, set the timer for additional time.
WARNING
To prevent the risk of severe personal injury or property damage, use caution when cooking with hot oil.
CAUTION
It is normal for steam to escape from cover vents during frying. To prevent steam burns, keep hands and face away from the vents.
Step 9: REMOVE COOKED FOOD
When food is done, lift basket handle along with fryer cover and hook basket onto the fryer rim to allow excess oil to drain from food. Remove cover.
Empty food onto absorbent paper. Season to taste. If frying additional food, return to Step 4.
