1. Before use, check that the voltage power corresponds to the one shown on the
appliance nameplate.
2. Only connect the appliance to electrical sockets which have a minimum load
of 15A. If the sockets and the plug on the appliance should prove incompatible,
get a professionally qualified technician to replace the socket with a more
suitable one.
3. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
4. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the temperature controller,
power cord or power plug in water or in any other liquid.
5. Close adult supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children. Never leave unattended.
6. Unplug the appliance from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
Allow appliance to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning

14. Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use.
15. Be sure handles are properly assembled to fryer basket and locked in place.

underneath the fryer.
17. To ensure safe operation, oversized foods must not be inserted into the appliance.
18. Ensure that the lid and tank are completely dry after washing and before use.
19. Never immerse the fryer basket into the hot oil - or drain it - without the fryer

26. If you use solid vegetable shortening, cut it into pieces and melt it over low heat in
a separate pot beforehand, then slowly pour it into the deep fryer pot. Never pour
shortening directly into the deep fryer pot or basket, as this will lead to deterioration
of the appliance.
27. Never remove the pot while the deep fryer is on.
Warning: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from
entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords
or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a
longer detachable power-supply extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and:
2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS
1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any
are found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord
replaced. Please return it to an authorized service representative.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue
stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR
IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against risk of electric shock, connect to
properly grounded outlets only.

HOW TO USE YOUR DEEP FRYER
1. Fill the bowl with oil.
2. The oil level should always be between the MIN and MAX level of the
bowl. Do not exceed the maximum fill line as boiling oil may overflow
during frying and can cause severe burns.

in a separate pan. Pour the melted shortening into the fryer bowl.

basket

in the appliance without the frying basket. The power indicator light will
turn on. Turn the temperature control knob to the desired temperature,
set timer to desired time and the fryer will begin to heat.

the oil.
11. At the end of cooking time, switch off the fryer by turning both control

fully above the oil. Allow excess oil to drain by letting the basket remain on
the hook for a moment.
12. Remove the lid and the basket, and serve the food.
13. Put the lid on the fryer when it is not in use.
14. To use a second time, correct the oil level if necessary, then follow the
instructions from the beginning.
15. When you have finished frying, unplug the deep fryer.
16. Allow the oil to cool completely in the fryer (approx. 3 hours).
17. Only move the fryer using the carrying handles.
NOTE:
• Never use different types of oil at the same time, as this may cause the oil
to overflow.
• The oil level must always be kept between the min/max markers. Check
the level each time before frying, and add some of the same type of oil if
necessary.
The following cooking times are a guide only. They may vary depending on the size
of the food, the amount of food, individual preferences, and the voltage. Cooking

1. You may store the oil or fat in the fryer or in a separate airtight container.
2. Do not pour used oil into the sink. Leave it to cool and throw it away with
the household waste – according to the local community regulations.
3. Crumbs that break away from food tend to burn and alter the quality of the
oil more rapidly. Over time, this increases the risk of the oil’s catching fire.
For this reason, filter the oil regularly.
NOTE: We recommend changing the oil after a maximum of 8 to 12 uses.
CLEANING YOUR FRYER

damp cloth or sponge.
2. Clean the lid using a sponge and soapy water. Rinse and dry carefully.

soapy water.
4. Ensure that all components are dry before placing them back inside the
fryer.
5. The lid is fitted with a permanent metallic filter. This filter does not need to
be replaced.
