Please note: During the first use, the deep fryer may give off a slight
odor. This is normal and due to the newness of the product.
• Make sure the oil level in the container is between
the “minimum” and “maximum” lines inside the
container.

• 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.
2. FILLING THE STAINLESS STEEL

• 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 (11 cup) and maximum
(13 cup) levels marked inside the oil container
(approx. 2.5 liters). Check oil level before
each use. For best results, keep the oil close
to the maximum level. Fig. 9
• Never mix different oils and fats together. Do
not mix old and new oil.
Using Solid Fat
Warning: Do not put solid shortening in the oil container or frying basket.
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 320ºF
(160ºC).

Setting the timer will automatically turn “on”
the deep fryer. The red light indicates that the
unit is “on”. The timer will turn the unit “off” at
the end of the selected time period and the red
light will go “off”.
• The yellow light above the temperature dial will
come on when the temperature is set and the
deep fryer is “on” showing that the heating
element is in operation. The yellow light goes
off when the set temperature is reached.
• The temperature light may go on and off several times during frying.
This indicates that the temperature is thermostatically maintained.
