Important safetytips
•Always keep lid closed while deep fryer is cooking food. Use basket handle to raise and lower basket. Always raise basket out of hot oil and lock into the ‘Load or Drain’ position, to allow food to drain for 10 to 20 seconds before opening lid.
•BEWARE OF STEAM WHEN OPENING LID. Use protective hot pads or insulated oven mitts when removing the lid to prevent burns or personal injury.
•Wet food should be dried first with paper towels before frying. Remove loose ice from frozen foods. Close the lid when frying. Beware of oil splattering when food is put into the oil.
DO NOT EXCEED 50 minutes use in a two hour period.
RISK OF FIRE HAZARD. COOK ONLY IN REMOVABLE OIL VESSEL.
To prevent damage to countertop or tabletop finish, use a nonflammable, heat-resistant coaster
or PLACE MAT between the appliance and the countertop or tabletop surface. Never place on
carpet, furniture, or other combustible materials.
•Keep the deep fryer at least 4 inches away from walls or other objects during operation. Do not place any objects on top of the deep fryer while it is operating.
•Be sure oil vessel is filled to at least the minimum ('MIN') oil level. Do not fill
above the maximum ('MAX') oil level. Do not operate appliance without oil or with an insufficient amount of oil. Never pour oil into heated oil vessel.
•Do not operate the deep fryer if the lid and the oil vessel are not completely dry.
•Keep the deep fryer out of reach of children while in use and away from edges of countertops where it could be pulled off or pushed over by children.
•Do not use any solid/hydrogenated oil, shortening or lard in this deep fryer.
NOTE:
Moisture in foods will cause steam to rise from the deep fryer, this is normal.To avoid scalding from the steam, be sure to reach around the deep fryer instead of reaching over the deep fryer when adjusting the temperature dial.

2.2 lb Frying Basket
Oil Vessel
Removable, enamel coated vessel with pouring spout for mess free oil maintenance.
Prevent Oil Splatter
The frying basket can be locked into a 'Load or Drain' position with the lid in place.
This prevents oil splatter when uncooked foods are immersed, and drains excess oil from cooked food.
Auto-Shutoff Protection
The fryer will automatically turn off if the oil temperature heats up beyond the maximum temperature.
1800 Watts of Power
Ensures the oil quickly reaches the selected temperature
and recovers after frozen or uncooked foods are added.
Variable Temperature Control
The lower temperatures are suitable for blanching while the higher temperatures (up to 375°F) provide restaurant quality, crispy results.
Permanent Mesh Filter
Vents allow steam to escape while the permanent filter reduces the release of oil vapors and odors.
Lid with Viewing Window
Allows you to safely and easily monitor the cooking progress.

Commercially-Inspired Cool Zone
The Cool Plate™ Element is suspended in oil, creating a ‘Cool Zone’ at the bottom of the oil vessel. This prevents heavy debris from burning, which reduces odor and extends the useful lifespan of oil.
FRY ZONE
COOL ZONE
Increased Oil Life
Oil repeatedly heated above its 'Smoke Point' temperature quickly breaks down affecting oil color, taste and smell. The Cool Plate™ Element's large, flat, surface-area gently heats the oil to its optimum cooking temperature. In comparison, standard tube elements may fluctuate up to 70°F hotter, damaging the oil. The result is prolonged oil life and better tasting food.

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE deep fryer
Before first use
1.Remove and safely discard any packing material and promotional labels from the deep fryer.
2.Wash the lid, oil vessel and frying basket in warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the outer housing and Cool Plate™ Element with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Place the oil vessel back into the housing and position the Cool Plate™ Element assembly correctly in the removable oil vessel. Ensure the oil vessel is completely free of water before adding any oil.
The Control Panel/Cool Plate™ Element should never be immersed in water or other liquids WHEN CLEANING. Cleanthe outer surface ofthe heating element with a damp cloth AND mild soap solution or plain water.
This product is forthe deep frying of food only with oils of appropriately high smoke point. It should not be used for any other task such as heating wax or cooking soups or casseroles.
To avoid personal injury, always positionyour deep fryer well back fromthe edge of the counter or table. Do not letthe power cord drape overthe edge ofthe counter ortable or within reach of children. Always use your deep fryer on a dry, flat, stable, heat resistant surface.
Only usethe Cool Plate™ Element assembly inthe removable oil vessel provided, or fire could result. Never use in any other vessel or for heating any other liquid. After cleaning, place oil VESSEL back intothe housing and positionthe Cool Plate™ Element
assembly correctly inthe removable oil vessel.

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE Deep fryer
1.Place the deep fryer on a flat, dry surface. Ensure the deep fryer is not too close to the edge of the counter, and that the power cord or basket handle does not extend over the edge.
2.Remove the lid and frying basket from the deep fryer.
3.Fill the deep fryer with cooking oil between the 'MAX' and 'MIN' levels shown on the heater tube. From empty, the maximum level is approximately 3.4 quarts (3.2 liters), and the minimum level is approximately 3 quarts (2.8 liters). Use only good quality fresh cooking oil with a high smoke point. DO NOT OVER OR UNDERFILL.
NOTE:
The deep fryer should be connected to a power supply only after it has been filled with oil.
4.Attach the magnetic cord assembly into the rear of the deep fryer first, then plug the cord into a 120V power outlet. When properly aligned, the plug will magnetically attach itself to the control panel housing. If positioned upside down, it will not attach.
NOTE:
The magnetic cord is designed to detach easily from the fryer in case a child accidentally pulls on the cord. As a result, if it is bumped
or touched during use, it could accidentally detach during operation. If contact with the cord occurs during operation, check that it is still properly connected to the fryer.
5.Turn the 'ON/OFF' switch at the rear of the control panel to the 'I' (On) position. The 'Power' indicator light will illuminate. It will stay lit until either the switch is turned to the 'O' (Off) position, or power is disconnected from the deep fryer.
NOTE:
Do not turn the unit on without oil in the oil vessel.
6.Turn the temperature dial to the required setting for the food being fried. Most commercial deep frying is carried out
at approximately 375°F. This is the maximum temperature position on the temperature dial. Small volumes and light foods can be successfully deep fried at lower temperatures, although generally, around 320°F is regarded as
a practical minimum temperature for healthy frying.
7.When the 'ON/OFF' switch at the rear of the control panel is turned to the 'I' (On) position, the orange 'HEATING' light will illuminate, indicating that the oil is heating to the selected temperature on the temperature dial. Once the selected temperature is reached, the 'HEATING' light will go out, however will cycle on and off during operation to maintain the correct temperature.

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE deep Fryer
NOTE: For best results, when cooking the first batch of food, allow the deep fryer to preheat for approximately 20 minutes. The 'HEATING' light will cycle on and off during this time.
8.When the 'HEATING' light goes out, slide the tongue of the basket handle into the recess in the housing. Lower the basket until it stops in the ‘Load or Drain’ position. In this position the basket is above the oil level.
NOTE:
Do not overfill the basket with food. Overfilling lowers the overall oil temperature causing food to absorb oil and not cook properly.
NOTE:
When frying food that is not coated in batter, make sure it is patted dry with paper towels as excess moisture causes the oil temperature to drop. The smallest amount of water will also cause hot oil to splatter.
9.Place food to be fried into the frying basket. Always ensure that the basket is not filled past the top.
The 'Load or Drain' feature allows you to safely add food to the frying basket before frying and also drain excess oil from the food once the frying has been completed.
NOTE:
When cooking foods coated with batter, lower the frying basket into the hot oil then carefully add coated food directly into the oil using metal tongs – cook a few pieces at a time
– and follow Steps 11-14. Placing coated food directly into the frying basket can cause some of the batter to adhere to the frying basket.
10.Place the lid on top of the deep fryer and by tilting the frying basket back towards you, release the basket from the ‘Load or Drain’ position and gently lower it into the hot oil.
NOTE:
Care should be taken when lowering food in the frying basket into the hot oil. Some splattering may occur.
11.Raise the basket to see if the food has reached the desired golden color and texture. We recommend this is done by using the viewing window on the lid to avoid oil splattering.
12.Once the food has reached the desired golden color and texture, carefully lift the basket and lock it in the ‘Load or Drain’ position. Allow oil to drain 10 to 20 seconds.
13.With hot pads or insulated oven mitts, remove the lid and frying basket. Place cooked food onto a wire rack or absorbent paper towels.

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE DEEP FRYER
NOTE:
Take care when opening the lid. The deep fryer generates heat and steam at a high temperature which will escape immediately when the lid is opened. Use protective hot pads or insulated oven mitts to prevent burns or personal injury.
NOTE:
To preserve oil quality, do not add salt, spices or seasonings to the food until after it has been removed from the deep fryer.
14.After completion of frying, turn the power switch to the 'O' (Off) position. Unplug the breakaway cord from the wall outlet before detaching from the deep fryer. Do not move the unit or empty oil until it has cooled.
THE DEEP FRYER WILL GENERATE A LOT OF HEAT AND STEAM DURING AND AFTER THE COOKING PROCESS. TO PREVENT THE RISK OF BURNS, DO NOT TOUCH OR BLOCK THE STEAM VENTILATION AREA ON THE LID.
TAKE CARE WHEN OPENING THE LID. THIS PRODUCT GENERATES HEAT AND STEAM AT HIGH TEMPERATURES WHICH WILL ESCAPE IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE LID IS OPENED. AVOID TOUCHING HOT SURFACES.
DURING AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER COOKING, STEAM MAY RISE THROUGH THE FILTER VENT OPENINGS IN THE LID. THIS IS NORMAL, HOWEVER AVOID TOUCHING THIS
AREA DURING COOKING TO PREVENT STEAM BURNS AS THE STEAM GENERATED IS AT A HIGH TEMPERATURE.
AS THE FRYING BASKET GETS VERY HOT, ONLY USE THE HANDLE TO HOLD OR CARRY THE BASKET FOR SERVING.
EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE USED WHEN THE DEEP FRYER IS FILLED WITH HOT OIL. DO NOT MOVE THE DEEP
FRYER DURING COOKING AND ALLOW IT TO COOL BEFORE REMOVING OIL.
