SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS |
•A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord (or longer detachable cord) is not recommended for use with deep fryers.
•Never plug in the control panel before it is installed in the body of the fryer with the heating element inside the oil container.
•Do not immerse the control panel and heating element in water.
•When opening the lid after frying, first release the lid by pushing the latch with your finger, then wait a moment to allow the steam inside to escape before opening fully.
•To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
POLARIZED PLUG
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in 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 to install the proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Read all the sections of this booklet and follow all the instructions carefully.
Using for the First Time
Warning: Never plug in the control panel when it is not installed in the fryer body with heating element in the oil container. Do not immerse the control panel, cord or plug in water.
Warning: This unit should not be used to boil water.
Prior to First Use, Clean the Unit Thoroughly
Warning: Always let the fryer cool completely for 2 hours before taking it apart for cleaning. Never carry or move the deep fryer with hot oil inside. Before cleaning, always make sure the plug is not in the wall socket.
•All components with the exception of the electrical parts, can be washed in warm soap water. Dry thoroughly before use.
•Use basket handle to remove the frying basket. Always make sure the basket handle is securely attached to the basket. Attach the handle to the frying basket, insert the metal part of the handle inside the metal bracket on the frying basket. (Fig. 1)
•Lift the control panel with heating element out of its slots by pushing it up from the bottom with one hand while holding the body of the deep fryer with your the other hand.
•Remove the oil container.
•Clean the oil container and the frying basket with hot water, dishwashing liquid or other non-poisonous detergent and non-abrasive sponge.
Warning: Never immerse the control panel in water or any other liquids.
Warning: All components must be completely dried before filling with oil or using. Special care must be taken to ensure the washable oil filter in the lid is completely dry, otherwise the filter will not function properly and may lead to steam being trapped within the fryer during use.
Warning: Never exceed "MAX" line when filling the basket with food.
Filling the Oil Container
Warning: Never plug in the deep fryer before filling with oil to specified level. Always make sure control panel is securely in place in the body and the heating element is inside the oil in the container before plugging in.
•Use blended vegetable oil, pure corn oil or canola (rapeseed) oil. Do not use olive oil, margarine, lard or drippings.
•The oil level must always be maintained
between the minimum and the maximum levels marked inside the oil container. Check the oil level before each use. For best results, Do NOT exceed “MAX” level for cooking oil. (Fig. 2)
•Never mix different oils and fats together. Do not mix old and new oil.
