Read all the sections of this booklet and follow all the instructions carefully.
Prior To First Use, Clean The Unit
Thoroughly
• All components with the exception of the
electrical parts, can be washed in warm
soapy 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. To 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 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.
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.
1. 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.
• 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 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 (19 cups/4.5 liters). Fig. 2
• Never mix different oils and fats together.
Do not mix old and new oil.
2. 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.

Using Solid Fat
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).
• 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.
