PREPARING YOUR DEEP FRYER
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
Appliance surfaces are hot during and after use. Always wear protective,
insulated oven mitts when touching hot deep fryer.
Before the First Use
1. Place deep fryer on a dry, level, stable, heat-resistant surface such as a
countertop or table. Keep away from countertop edge.
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.
NOTE: 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 way.
2. Close supervision is necessary when fryer is used around children. Hot
oil can cause serious and painful burns.
3. Remove all packing material and disassemble unit for cleaning. Take
the frying basket out of the unit. Remove the cord assembly from the
basket and set aside. Lift the control assembly out of the unit. Wipe the
control assembly (control unit with heating element) with a damp cloth.
Never immerse the control assembly, cord or plug in water.
4. Lift out the removable bowl from the base and wash the bowl, frying
basket, and fryer cover in warm, sudsy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
