……USING YOUR FRYER……………..

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME:

1) Always place the deep fryer on a stable and leveled surface when using.

2) Wipe the non-stick interior with a soft damp cloth.

3) Wash the fry basket with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly.

4) Wipe the exterior of the unit clean with a soft damp cloth.

WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to clean any parts of the
deep fryer.
Never immerse the unit in water at any time.

SELECTING FRYING OIL:

1) For healthy deep-frying oils, we suggest the following:

- Corn oil

- Canola oil

- Mixed Vegetable oil

* These oils are all low in fat and cholesterol free.

2) Below is a list of oils that are unhealthy and highly not recommended:

- Peanut oil

- Soy oil

- Sunflower oil

- Olive oil

- Lard

3) It is highly recommended not to use old and new oil mixed together. This
deteriorates the new oil quicker.

4) The number of times the oil can be reused depends on the type of food that
is being fried. For example, foods that are heavily coated with batter, bread
crumbs will need to be frequently changed

PREHEATING:

1) Set the temperature control of the deep fryer to the lowest setting and make
sure that the fryer is unplugged.

2) Fill the inner non-stick pot with oil making sure it fills enough between the
MIN (32oz.) and MAX (64oz.) levels.

3) Plug the fryer into a wall outlet and the indicator light will automatically light
ON.

4) NOTE: DO NOT PLACE FOOD INTO THE BASKET YET!

5) Close lid gently by pressing down and snapping it closed.

6) Set the temperature setting to desired degree. The fryer will begin to heat
up the oil for frying.

FRYING:

1) When the oil has reached the correct temperature, the indicator light will shut
off. Please take caution when opening the lid, the oil will be very hot.

2) Carefully place food into the frying basket. Slide the basket into place using
the plastic guides located in the front of the unit. DO NOT LOWER
BASKET INTO THE OIL YET!

3) When frying foods that are coated with batter, simply place the foods directly
into the non-stick interior oil pot. It is recommended not to use the basket
with battered foods for the batter may catch on the wiring of the basket and
create a mess when removing the foods from the basket.

4) Make sure not to over fill the basket or the inner oil pot, this will cause the
foods to be sometimes over-cooked or under-cooked.

5) Note: Make sure to shake frozen foods to remove any ice particles that

may have collected before you place foods into the deep fryer. Pat dry
any damp foods prior to frying. Water condensation may sometimes
result in splashing of the oil.

6) Close the lid gently by pressing down and snapping it closed.

7) Use the frying chart on the next page for recommended cooking times.

8) Once the lid is shut, you can gently press down on the handle of the frying
basket to lower the basket into the oil while the lid is closed. This will
prevent any splattering of oils getting in contact with your skin or clothing./

9) When the frying cycle has completed, lift the fry basket handle up and out
while the lid is still shut, this will lift the basket out of the oil and let it sit for 3­5 minutes to drain off any access oils.

10) Press down on the Push Button to open the lid. The lid will rise slowly for
safety precautions.

11) Carefully remove the food from the frying basket. DO NOT LIFT BASKET
OUT OF THE FRYER YET! Be cautious of the hot oil that may splatter from
beneath the basket.

12) Use a slotted wooded spoon or heat resistant slotted spoon to remove and
foods that were fried directly in the fryer w/o using the basket.

13) To turn off the unit, you must unplug the fryer from the wall outlet.

14) Allow the oil and the fryer to cool down before moving it around or cleaning.

NOTE: The maximum capacity for the food basket is approximately 2LBS!
