OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Prior To First Use, Clean The
Unit Thoroughly
Warning: Never immerse the control
panel in water or any other liquids.
Warning: All components must be
completely dry 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.
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
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 plug is
not in the wall socket.
• All components with the exception of
the electrical parts, can be washed in
warm soap water. Dry thoroughly
before use.
• Use basket handle to remove the frying
basket. Always make sure the basket
handle is securely attached to the
basket. Attach the handle to the frying
basket, insert the metal part of the
handle inside the metal bracket on the
frying basket. (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 the other hand.
• Remove the oil container.
• Clean the oil container and the frying
basket with hot water, dishwashing
liquid or other non-poisonous detergent
and non-abrasive sponge.
Filling the Oil Reservoir
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, peanut 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
and the maximum levels marked
inside the oil container. Check the oil
level before each use. For best
results, keep the oil close to the
maximum level (8 cups / 2 liters).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Warning: In order to avoid injury or
burns, never touch any metal parts on
the deep fryer because they may be hot.
Filling the Frying Basket
• Do not fill the frying basket when it is
immersed in oil.
• Place the food in the frying basket.
Do not overfill it and never exceed
the maximum quantities. For
optimum results and shorter frying
time, basket should be only 1/2 full.
• Do not fill the basket higher than the
MAX line on the basket with frozen
food.
Warning: When frying foods,
remove the frying basket from the deep
fryer before filling with frozen food
because oil will spatter and cause
burns.
Caution: Never exceed "MAX" line
when filling the basket with food. It is
recommended that food is at the 3/4
level, below the MAX line when frying
frozen food. Clean off any ice from
frozen food prior to frying. Failure to do
so may cause fryer to overflow when
food is placed in oil.
Frying Food
• Always use the frying basket to fry
food.
• Always close the lid cover during
frying.
• When the oil is pre-heated, the
temperature indicator light will stop
flashing and stay lit.
• Slowly lower the frying basket into
the hot oil. Lowering the frying
basket too quickly can result in the
oil overflowing and splashing.
• Replace the lid carefully.
• It is normal for steam to escape
through the sides of the lid while
frying.
• Avoid standing too close to the deep
fryer while it is working.
Warning: When opening the lid
cover after frying, lift up the lid slightly,
then wait to allow steam to escape
before opening the lid completely.
Keep face away from unit to avoid
burns caused by escaping steam.

• Press the power button and the
power off.
• Unplug the main cord from the wall
socket.
• Lift up the lid cover slowly and wait to
allow steam to escape before
opening the lid cover completely.
• Lift up the frying basket by the
handle. Place it on the oil container
and allow the food to drain for a
minute.
• Once the oil has drained from the
frying basket, the basket may be
lifted off and the food served.
Warning: Always let the deep fryer cool
completely (approximately 2 hours)
before cleaning or storing. Never carry
or move the deep fryer with hot oil inside.
At the End of Cooking
• 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, when
color becomes dark, when it has a
rancid smell, taste or becomes
syrupy.
• Make sure that the food to be fried is
dry.
• Remove loose ice from frozen food
before frying.
• To cook evenly, pieces should be the
same size and thickness.
• Thicker pieces will take longer to cook.
