OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS cont.
Using Solid Fat
Using for the First Time
Warning: Never plug in the control panel when it is not installed in the fryer body with heating element in the oil container. Do not immerse the control panel, cord or plug in water.
Warning: This unit should not be used to boil water.
Prior To First Use, Clean The Unit Thoroughly
Warning: Always let the fryer cool completely for 2 hours before taking it apart for cleaning. Never carry or move the Deep Fryer with hot oil inside. Before cleaning, always make sure the magnetic power plug is not in the wall socket.
•All components with the exception of the electrical parts, can be washed in warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly before use.
•Use basket handles to remove the frying baskets. Always make sure the basket handles are securely attached to the basket. To attach the handles to the frying baskets, insert the metal part of the handle inside the metal bracket on the frying basket. Lift the handle up over the basket to secure in place.
(Fig. 1)
•Lift the control panel with heating element out of its slots by pushing it up from the bottom with one hand while holding the body of the deep fryer with your other hand.
•Remove the oil container.
•Clean the oil container and the frying baskets with hot water, dishwashing liquid or other
Warning: Never immerse the control panel in water or any other liquids.
Warning: All components must be completely dried before filling with oil or using. Special care must be taken to ensure the washable oil filter in the lid is completely dry, otherwise the filter will not function properly and may lead to steam being trapped within the fryer during use.
Warning: Never exceed "MAX" line when filling the basket with food.
Filling the Stainless Steel Container With Oil
Warning: 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 (rapeseed) oil. Do not use olive oil, margarine, lard or drippings.
•The oil level must always be maintained between the minimum marked inside the oil container. Maximum oil capacity is 21 cups (5 liters). Check the oil level before each use. For best results, keep the oil close to the maximum level (21 cups/5 liters). Fig. 2
•Never mix different oils and fats together. Do not mix old and new oil.
Warning: Do not put solid shortening in the oil container or the frying basket.
•If using solid vegetable shortening, melt it first in a separate pan and then very carefully pour the melted fat into the oil container.
•Previously used solid vegetable shortening which has curdled and hardened in the oil container should be removed from the oil container and melted in a separate pan before reusing.
Warning: If you try to melt the solidified fat in the oil container, there is a risk of warm melted fat suddenly sputtering from below through the still solid top layer of fat. Therefore use only the following procedure:
•Make sure the fat is at room temperature. If the fat is very cold, there is a greater risk of splashing.
•Using a fork, carefully make some holes in the fat. Make sure the lid is securely closed while fat is melting. Set temperature dial to 320º F (160º C).
Installing the “Control Panel With the Heating Element” Into its Place
•Lift up the Control Panel with Heating Element.
•Insert the "Guide Edges" on the Control Panel (Fig. 4) into the "Guide Rails" mounted on the metal body. (Fig. 3)
•Slide the "Guide Edges" down till the end.
Important Notice: The Automatic Safety Interlock Switch ensures that the unit will not operate unless the Control Panel has been inserted into the "Guide Rails" on the metal body correctly.
