Important: The magnetic cord was designed to detach easily from the fryer. As a result, if it is bumped or
touched during use it could possibly detach causing the unit to stop heating. Avoid contact with cord during
operation. If contact occurs, verify that the cord is still properly connected.
6.
Plug cord into a 120 volt wall outlet.
Always make sure fryer and cord are out of reach of children.
7.
Turn the thermostatic control to the desired temperature (see page 7 for proper cooking temperatures). The
recommended setting for most frying is 375˚. While oil is heating, the signal light will be illuminated.
8.
When the selected temperature is reached, the signal light will go out. (Preheat time is approximately 20
minutes.)
9.
While oil is heating, prepare food for cooking.
10.
Assemble basket handles for frying, see page 4.
To insure against accidental detachment of handles from baskets during use, always make sure both pegs are in
the bracket holes and the handle bars are in the brackets (Fig. C and D, page 4).

full with food. Before deep frying, remove
excess moisture from food by blotting with toweling—moist foods cause excess foaming and spattering.
Note:
Fryer may be used with one or two baskets.
12.
Attach either one or both of the  lled frying baskets to the removable pot using the drain hooks. If using just one
basket, place it on either the right or left side. Then position cover over basket or baskets with cover vents away
from basket handles. Slowly lower the  lled baskets one at a time into the preheated oil until the bottom of the
basket rests on top of the heating element.
If frying french fries or other high moisture foods, immediately
remove cover after lowering baskets into oil.
Note: For crisper foods, fry without the cover.
Warning: To prevent the risk of severe personal injury or property damage, use caution when cooking with
hot oil.
13.
Begin timing. Refer to page 7 for recommended times.
Caution: It is normal for steam to escape from the cover vents during frying. To prevent steam burns keep
hands and face away from the vents.
How To Use
1.
Position base on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant
surface in center of countertop. Always use the handles on the
base when lifting or moving the appliance. Never lift or move
appliance using control assembly.
2.
Place removable pot in base.
3.
Attach the control assembly to the base by aligning the two
guides on the front of the control unit with the two tracks on
the back of the base (Fig. E). Slide the control assembly down
(Fig. F) as far as it goes making sure both guides are in the tracks.
Note: The appliance will only operate when both guides are
properly positioned in the tracks.
4.
Fill removable pot with cooking oil up to the MAX level marking,
which is located on the inside of the removable pot (Fig. A1,
page 3). Your fryer will need approximately 5 quarts of cooking
oil. The amount of oil must always be between the MAX and
MIN level markings inside the removable pot (Fig. A1). Never
exceed the MAX level mark.
5.
Attach the cord to the unit by aligning the magnetic plug end
with the two electrical pins located on the back of the control
unit (Fig. A2, page 3). The plug can be attached in either
direction.
