IMPORTANT CORD AND PLUG INFORMATION
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
DO NOT USE WITH AN EXTENSION CORD.
Do not allow the cord to run underneath or around the unit. The magnetic cord may not detach easily if the cord is positioned
in this fashion.
Important Fryer Guidelines
Use deep fryer only on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from countertop edge.
 Hot oil can cause serious and painful burns. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
 To avoid the risk of electrocution or severe disfiguring electrical burns, do not let children handle or put electrical cords or
plugs in their mouths.
 To avoid the risk of electrocution or electrical burns, do not let the cord or plug come in contact with water or other
liquid.
 Never use the deep fryer without the removable pot.
 Never use the deep fryer without oil or with insufficient oil. Also, never exceed the maximum fill level. The minimum
(MIN) and maximum (MAX) fill levels are embossed inside the removable pot (see Fig. H, page 4).
 Use only a good, reliable standard brand of vegetable shortening or cooking oil for deep frying. Deep frying foods in butter,
margarine, olive oil, or animal fat is not recommended because of lower smoking temperatures.
Before deep frying, remove excess moisture from food by blotting with toweling—moist foods cause excess foaming and
spattering. Do not add wet food to cooking oil. Even small amounts of water may cause the oil to spatter.
Always make sure the cover and all other parts of the deep fryer are thoroughly dry before frying.
 Use caution when deep frying flour tortillas. Flour tortillas contain air bubbles. During deep frying, oil can become trapped
within these bubbles. If not properly drained, the bubbles can burst and cause burns. Therefore, after deep frying tortillas,
carefully raise them out of the cooking oil and allow oil to drain from the tortillas for approximately 30 seconds.
 Always unplug cord from wall outlet and then from deep fryer when unit is not in use.
 Always allow fryer to cool completely with cover closed before removing oil and cleaning.
Before First Use
Become familiar with the various parts
of the deep fryer (Fig. A) and read the
instructions carefully.
Cleaning before first use...
Wipe the fryer cover and cool-touch fryer
base with a damp cloth. Never immerse
the fryer base in water or other liquid.
Never wash the cover parts or fryer base
in a dishwasher.
Open the deep fryer cover by depressing
the cover release button on the front of the
fryer. Remove the frying basket, basket
handle, charcoal air filter, and any packag-
ing material from the deep fryer. Then lift
the removable pot out of the fryer base.
Wash both the basket and removable pot in
hot, soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly.
Washing the removable pot in a dishwasher
is not recommended. If you choose to wash
the removable pot in a dishwasher, the
exterior of the removable pot will likely
discolor due to the caustic nature of the
dishwasher detergent.
