Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety
feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in 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
1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may
be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long detachable power cord or extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the detachable power supply cord or exten-
sion cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance.
• If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be the
same type 3-wire.
• The longer 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.
MAGNETIC PLUG: This appliance is equipped with an easy break-away
magnetic plug.
1. NEVER add water to oil. Food with high moisture content may cause
foaming which may lead to overflow of oil. Remove ice particles from
frozen foods to prevent splattering. NEVER overfill oil pot or basket.
2. Oil & fat may burn when overheated. CAUTION: be careful when deep frying.
3. ALWAYS turn deep fryer OFF after each use and unplug from electrical outlet.
4. Let unit and oil cool down completely before disassembling or cleaning the
deep fryer. EXTREME CAUTION must be used when moving this or any
appliance containing hot oil, food, liquid, etc.
5. Do NOT operate deep fryer with an external timer or separate remote
control system.
6. Fill oil pot using Min/Max lines on the inside of the pot. Do NOT overfill or
under fill.
7. Never leave any food in oil after use.
8. Change oil in pot every 5 uses or so. Excessively used oil may cause
undesired taste and may have a lower tolerance to heat.
9. Use high-quality liquid frying oil (vegetable, peanut, grape seed, etc.).
10. If using shortening, cut into small pieces, turn temperature control to “LOW”
setting and add pieces slowly to pot. Once shortening has melted to oil level
as indicated by fill line on side of oil pot, set to desired temperature on control
panel. Do NOT overfill oil pot.
11. NEVER place unmelted shortening in deep frying basket.
12. Oil should never be heated to a point where it smokes. This would indicate that
oil has insufficient heat threshold and should not be used for cooking. Do NOT
use margarine, olive oil or butter as these will smoke at lower temperatures and
could cause fire.
13. Oil inside deep fryer will become very hot during use (can heat up to 375° F).
Be very careful when handling food and/or basket as it comes out of the fryer.

is a risk of oil splatter, burns or scalding.
ALWAYS use oven mitts when handling frying basket or removing lid.
5. Place lid (10) back on oil pot (4).
6. ALWAYS monitor food when frying.
WARNING: There is a risk of oil catching fire if overheated or if left to heat over
an extended period of time.
7. When food is fried to desired taste, using oven mitts, carefully remove lid
and set aside.
CAUTION: Lid (10) will be extremely hot and may drip with hot oil. Make sure
you do not place lid on any heated element or flammable material. Do NOT place
on any easily stainable surface.
8. Turn unit OFF and unplug from electrical outlet. Take out frying basket (5) and let
the oil drip from the food by placing the frying basket (5) onto the rim of the oil
pot (4) (with the drip hook sitting on the rim of the oil pot).
How to Use (cont’d)
9. Once excess oil has dripped from the frying basket (5), remove the basket and
empty the food onto a plate or dish.
10. Let unit and oil cool down completely before displacing or cleaning appliance.
11. Cooled down oil can be left in oil pot, covered and kept refrigerated.

This fryer is equipped with a 30-minute dial timer.
1. Turn the dial clockwise to the correct length of time and release the knob.
2. The timer will ring when the desired length of time has been reached.
Frying ps R
• Food will cook well once the proper oil temperature is achieved (within approx.
10 minutes). Be sure to check the oil temperature before placing the fry basket
into the unit. The adjustable temperature control is clearly marked and easy to
follow.
• When you fry several different kinds of food, always fry the food that uses
the lowest temperature setting first.
• Do not mix different types of oil for frying.
• Frying already pre-cooked foods may take less time to fry than completely
raw food.
• If you wish to fry frozen foods, it is highly recommended to remove any ice
build-up before frying. Ice or water can cause splattering of oil.
• You may use oil more than once. It is recommended that you filter used oil
before reusing.
• It is recommended to replace the oil after every 10-15 uses; or earlier if
the oil becomes brown and thick.
• Make sure food is always sliced thinly and evenly. This helps the food to be
fried evenly.
• Shake off any excess flour or bread crumb coating to prevent any clumps
from forming when frying.
• Frying already pre-cooked foods may take less time to fry than completely
raw food.
• If you wish to use the basket when frying foods coated with batter, it is
recommended to lower the basket into the hot oil first and then gently and
carefully place battered foods into the oil directly. This will prevent the batter
from catching and sticking to the wiring of the basket.
• Never fill the basket more than 2⁄3 full. In order to cook evenly, the food needs
space for even frying on all sides.
Batred Food Frying ps R
*French Fries being fried a 2nd time will be lighter and crispier.
The frying times given in the chart are only a guide and
should be adjusted according to the quantity of food being fried.

HINTS:
1. Pre-fried (food dipped in batter/coating) requires a higher temperature than raw
food in order to have a crisp coating.
Pre-cooked food that does not have a batter/coating does not require a
higher temperature.
2. When frying dough-like food, scrape off excess dough and carefully place pieces
into oil.
3. Pat uncooked food dry to remove excess moisture and avoid oil splatter.
4. Rely on frying times found on food packaging or in recipe/cookbook.
