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. Rinse and pat dry.
•To cook evenly, pieces should be the same size and thickness.
•Thicker pieces will take longer to cook.

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 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. 8) Wash and dry the oil container and basket. Refill the oil container with the oil, pouring the oil through a wire strainer or paper filter. (Fig. 9)

Detachable Power Cord
Your deep fryer has been specifically designed with your safety in mind. Your deep fryer has incorporated a unique detachable power supply cord. This power supply cord cord is designed to “Break Away” from the fryer body in the event that the supply cord is inadvertently pulled. This is intended to prevent the tipping of the appliance and hazardous spillage of hot oil.
The female receptacle portion of the power supply cord is permanently attached to the rear of the the control panel.
To connect the male power cord plug to the female receptacle on the appliance, orient the male plug so that it mates with the female receptacle. The male plug can only be inserted one way. If the male plug will not go into the receptacle on the appliance, rotate the male plug 180°.
IMPORTANT: Should the male plug become detached from the appliance during use, it is important to:
1.Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. (Fig. 10)
2.Turn off the appliance at the control panel.
