Important Fryer Guidelines
❖ Use deep fryer only on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from countertop edge.
❖ Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Hot oil can cause serious and painful
burns.
❖ Toavoidtheriskofelectrocutionorseveredisguring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.
❖ Useonlyvegetableoil,suchassunower,peanut,orsoybean,orvegetableshorteningfordeepfrying.Deepfrying
foods in butter, margarine, olive oil, or animal fat is not recommended because of lower smoking temperatures.
❖ CAUTION: OIL AND WATER DO NOT MIX. The combination can be dangerous. When the oil is heated, any
water droplets in the oil super-heat, becoming a volatile steam that can cause hot oil to spatter, boil over, or even erupt
out of the deep fryer. Hot oil can cause severe burns!
Accordingly, before pouring oil into a fryer be sure that the fryer is COMPLETELY dry. Before placing food in
deep fryer, always remove ice crystals and excess moisture from food by patting dry with toweling.
❖ Use caution when deep frying doughs, such as beignets, donuts, dumplings, hushpuppies, and fritters. These foods may
develop air bubbles during heating, which may burst and cause burns. Use the scoop provided or tongs rather than a
fork when turning food during frying and when removing food from oil.
❖ Usecautionwhendeepfryingour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 remove plug from wall outlet and then from deep fryer when unit is not in use.
❖ Always allow fryer to cool completely before removing oil and before cleaning.
How To Use
Beforeusingforthersttime,washinteriorofunit,divider,andscoopwithwarm,sudsywateranddrythoroughly.Never
immerse unit in water or other liquid, or wash in dishwasher.
1. Remove plastic cover. Unit must be cool before cover can be replaced for storage of oil.
2. Check the rubber pads on the bottom of the fryer before each use to be sure they are free of oil or other debris. Wipe
pads with warm, soapy water if necessary. Then dry thoroughly.
3. Place deep fryer on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface in center of countertop.
4. If you want to fry two foods at once and keep them separate when frying, use the divider. Place the divider into the
deep fryer prior to adding oil or plugging the unit in. If you want to fry big
batchesorlargepiecesofchickenorsh,donotusethedivider.
To insert the divider, grasp the top (arched portion) and center the divider between
the guides on the inside of the deep fryer. Lower the divider into the deep fryer
until it touches the bottom surface. Be sure the sides of the divider are positioned
in the grooves of the guides.
