OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Using for the First Time
Warning: Do not plug in the deep
fryer when the control panel is not
installed in the deep fryer body. Only
plug in the deep fryer when the unit is
fully assembled and the heating
element is immersed in oil.
Warning: Do not immerse the control
panel, cord or plug in water.
Warning: This unit should not be used
to boil water
Cleaning Prior To First Use
The body, oil reservoir, frying basket,
frying basket handle, and lid can be
washed in warm soap water. Dry
thoroughly before use.
Warning: Do not immerse the control
panel, power cord, or plugs into liquid of
any kind.
To wash the deep fryer:
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.
2. Remove the oil reservoir from the
body of the deep fryer.
3. Wash the oil reservoir and the frying
basket with hot water, a non-abrasive
sponge, and dishwashing liquid or
other non-poisonous detergent.
The Frying Basket Handle
Use the frying basket handle to remove
the frying basket. Always make sure the
frying basket handle is securely attached
to the frying basket.
To attach the frying basket handle to
the frying basket:
1. Insert the metal part of the handle into
the metal bracket on the frying
basket. (Fig. 1)

Deep Fryer Features
The Safety Timer
The safety timer turns the unit on and off.
It counts down the allotted cooking time
and makes a ‘ding’ sound when the time
is up.
The Power Light
The power light illuminates when the
deep fryer is on.
The Ready Light
The ready light will cycle on and off
several times during frying. This
indicates that the temperature is
thermostatically maintained.
The Detachable Power Cord
The power supply is designed to “Break
Away” from the fryer body in the event
that it is inadvertently pulled. This is
intended to prevent the tipping of the
appliance and the hazardous spillage of
hot oil.
The Reset Feature
Your deep fryer is equipped with a
feature that protects damage due to
overheating. If for some reason the unit
overheats, the deep fryer will
automatically turn off. Once the deep
fryer is reset, it can be turned on again.
Using Solid Fat
Warning: Do not put solid vegetable
shortening in the oil reservoir or the frying
basket.
• If using solid vegetable shortening,
melt it first in a separate container and
then very carefully pour the melted fat
into the oil reservoir.
• Previously used solid vegetable
shortening which has curdled and
hardened in the oil reservoir should be
removed from the oil reservoir and
melted in a separate pan before
reusing.
Warning: If you try to melt the solidified
fat in the oil reservoir, there is a risk of hot
melted fat suddenly sputtering from below
through the solid top layer of fat.
Use only the following procedure when
melting solid fat in your deep fryer:
1. Make sure the fat is at room
temperature. If the fat is cold, then
there is a greater risk of splashing.
2. Using a fork, carefully make some
holes in the fat.
3. Make sure the lid is always securely
closed while the fat is melting.
4. Set the temperature control to 325°F.
5. Turn the safety timer to the required
period of time to melt the amount of
fat placed in the reservoir.
Important: Setting the safety timer will
automatically turn the deep fryer “on” and
the power light will illuminate. The ready
light will illuminate when the fat or oil in
the reservoir has reached the selected
temperature.

Filling the Oil Reservoir
Warning: Never plug in the deep fryer
before filling with oil to specified level.
Before you plug in the appliance, make
sure the control panel is securely
attached to the body and the heating
element is in the oil filled reservoir.
• 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 reservoir. Check the
oil level before each use. For best
results, keep the oil close to the
maximum level (16 cups/4 liters).
(Fig. 3)
• Never mix different oils and fats
together. Do not mix old and new
oil.
Warning: Never immerse the control
panel or power cord in water or any other
liquids.
Warning: All components must be
completely dry before filling with oil or
using.
Warning: Never exceed the maximum
lines indicated on the frying basket and
on the reservoir.
