To Store or Reuse Cooking Oil
• Make sure the Deep Fryer is unplugged
and the oil has cooled (approximately 2
hours) before attempting to clean or
store the Deep Fryer.
• The oil does not need to be changed
after each use. We do not recommend
storing and reusing oil that was used for
frying high protein foods such as
poultry, fish or other meats. When oil is
mainly used to fry potatoes and is
filtered after each use, it can be used 8
to 10 times. However, do not use the
same oil for longer than 6 months.
• To filter the oil, first make sure the oil
has cooled and then empty the oil
from the Oil Container into a storage
container or bottle. (Fig. 6) Wash and
dry the Oil Container and basket. To
reuse, refill the Oil Container with
the oil, pouring the oil through a wire
strainer or paper filter. (Fig. 7)
Detachable Power Cord
Your Deep Fryer has been specifically
designed with your safety in mind. This
deep fryer has ia unique detachable power
supply cord. This power supply cord cord
is designed to “Break Away” from the fryer
body in the event that the supply cord is
inadvertently pulled. This is intended to
prevent the tipping of the appliance and
hazardous spillage of hot oil.
The female receptacle portion of the power
supply cord is permanently attached to the
rear of the the control panel.
To connect the male power cord plug to
the female receptacle on the appliance,
orient the male plug so that it mates with
the female receptacle. The male plug can
only be inserted one way. If the male plug
will not go into the receptacle on the
appliance, rotate the male plug 180°.
IMPORTANT: Should the male plug
become detached from the appliance
during use, it is important to:
1. Unplug the power cord from the wall
outlet.
2. Turn off the appliance
at the control panel.
3. Re-attach the power
cord to the appliance.
4. Re-connect to power
outlet.
5. Turn the appliance
back on.
How To Reset the Deep Fryer
If for some reason the deep fryer stops
heating, the reason might be that the
safety reset switch has disconnected. To
reconnect the deep fryer, follow the
instructions below:
• Allow the deep fryer to cool completely.
• Remove the control panel from the
unit.
• Push the thermostat reset button
located on the back of the control
panel with the back of a ball point
pen. (Fig. 8) The unit will beep to
indicate that it has re-set.
Filling the Oil Container
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.
• Use blended vegetable oil, pure corn oil
or canola oil. Do not use olive oil,
margarine, lard or drippings.
• The oil level must always be maintained
between the minimum (10 cups/2.4 L.)
and the maximum (12.5 cups/3.0 L.)
levels marked inside the oil container.
Check the oil level before each use. For
best results, keep the oil close to the
maximum level. (Fig. 3)
• Never mix different oils and fats together.
Do not mix old and new oil.
Oil level

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.
Installing the “Control Panel With
the Heating Element” Into Place
• Hold the control panel with the heating
element in your hand.
• Slide the control panel down making
sure that the control panel is fully
seated into the power junction module.
(Fig. 4)
Important Notice: The Automatic
Safety Switch ensures that the unit will
not operate unless the Control Panel has
been seated properly into the power
junction module. This is not a defect. This
product is fitted with a safety switch to
prevent the unit from turning on
accidentally.

8. When cooking oil reaches desired
setting, the temperature ready light
will turn on.
Note: The temperature ready light will
cycle off and on during the frying
cycle as the unit maintains the
selected temperature.
Filling the Frying Basket
When frying frozen foods such as French
Fries, remove the frying basket from the
deep fryer before filling with frozen food
because oil will spatter and may cause
burns. You should not fill the frying
basket more than halfway. Clean off any
ice from frozen food prior to frying.
Failure to do so may cause fryer to
overflow when food is placed in oil.
• Do not fill the frying basket when it is
immersed in oil.
• For optimum results and shorter frying
time, basket should be only 1/2 full.
• The basket has approximately 1.5 lb.
food capacity. It will hold 4-5
average size pieces of chicken.
Frying Food
• Always use the frying basket to fry food.
• Always close the lid cover during frying.
• When the oil is pre-heated, the ready
indicator light will come on, indicating
that the desired temperature is reached.
• Slowly lower the frying basket into the
hot oil. Lowering the frying basket too
quickly can result in the oil overflowing
and splashing.
• Replace the lid carefully.
• It is normal for steam to escape through
the sides of the lid while frying.
• Avoid standing too close to the deep
fryer while it is working.
Warning: When opening the lid cover
after frying, lift up the lid slightly, then
wait to allow steam to escape before
opening the lid completely. Keep face
away from unit to avoid burns caused by
escaping steam.
1. When the oil in the deep fryer has
reached the set temperature, open the
cover, place the frying basket onto the
oil draining hook, put food into the
frying basket and carefully lower the
frying basket into the hot oil. Close the
cover. If you wish, you can set the
60-minute timer to the desired cooking
time. To set the 60-minute timer, turn
the knob clockwise to the desired time.
2. Cook food according to the suggested
recommended cooking chart or until
desired doneness. It is normal for
steam to escape through the sides of
the cover while frying.
3. If you have pre-set a time for the
deep fryer, you will hear a ring when
the cooking time has elapsed.
NOTE: If you are using the 60-minute
timer when you are frying food, please
note that the heating element will NOT
turn off when the timer is up.
4. When cooking is complete, open the
cover carefully to avoid burns
caused by escaping steam. Lift the
frying basket and hook it onto the
oil draining hook to allow the food
to drain.
5. Remove the food from the frying
basket by:
Lifting the frying basket by its
handle and CAREFULLY pouring
food onto a plate covered with
paper towels or into desired
serving utensil.
Using tongs to grasp the food from
the frying basket and placing into
serving utensil.
6. Repeat procedure for remaining
food to be cooked.
NOTE: Always replace or remove the
Frying basket carefully when
cooking. Oil is very hot and can
cause severe injury.
Using the Auto-Lift Frying Basket
Your deep fryer is equipped with an autolift frying basket.
To raise the auto-lift frying basket:
• Depress the handle lock button to
unlock the basket handle, lift the basket
up and remove from deep fryer before
placing food to be fried into the fryer
basket.
• Depress the handle lock button that is
on the handle of the frying basket to
unlock the handle and the frying basket
will lower into the oil.
• Once the food has finished frying, lift
up the lid cover slowly and wait to allow
the steam to escape before opening
the lid cover completely.
• Depress the handle lock button once
more to unlock the handle and then lift
the frying basket out of the oil.
• Let the fried food drain for a few
seconds and then remove the basket
from the deep fryer.
Frying Tips
• Do not mix different oils or new and old
oil together.
• Replace oil regularly. In general, oil will
be tainted fast when frying food containing
a lot of protein, (such as poultry, meat and
fish). When oil is used mainly to fry
potatoes and is filtered after each use, it
can be used up to 8 to 10 times, but do
not use the same oil for more than 6
months.
• Always replace all oil as soon as it starts
foaming when heated, when color
becomes dark, when it has a rancid smell
or taste or becomes syrupy.
• Make sure that the food to be fried is dry.
• Remove loose ice from frozen food before
frying.
• To cook evenly, pieces should be the
same size and thickness.
• Thicker pieces will take longer to cook.
Cleaning Instructions
Warning: Always press the “On/Off”
switch to the “Off” position to stop the
heating element from heating and
remove the plug from the wall socket
before cleaning. Allow the Deep Fryer
and the oil to to cool completely
(approximately 2 hours) before
cleaning. Never immerse the Control
Panel, cord, plug or main enclosure in
water or any other liquid.
• Follow the cleaning instructions on
page 3. (Before Using for the First Time)
• Never immerse the control panel, cord
or plug in water or any other liquid.
• Do not place the control panel, cord or
plug in the dishwasher.
• Clean the control panel only with a damp

straight up. To replace the cover onto the
unit after cleaning, insert the spring tang
into the spring tang slot in the back of the
main unit.
• Wipe the body of the deep fryer and the
control panel with a damp cloth. Do not
put the body of the deep fryer and the
control panel in the dishwasher.
