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.

Detachable Power Cord

Your EURO-PRO Deep Fryer has been specifically designed with your safety
in mind. EURO-PRO has incorporated a unique detachable power supply
cord. This power supply cord cord is designed to “Break Away” from the fryer
body in the event that the supply cord is inadvertently pulled. This is intended
to prevent the tipping of the appliance and hazardous spillage of hot oil.

The female receptacle portion of the power supply cord is permanently
attached to the rear of the the control panel.

To connect the male power cord plug to the female receptacle on the
appliance, orient the male plug so that it mates with the fema le receptacle.
The male plug can only be inserted one way. If the male plug will not go into
the receptacle on the appliance, rotate the male plug 180° and insert again.

IMPORTANT

: Should the male plug become detached from the appliance
during use, it is important to: 1) Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. 2)
Turn off the appliance at the control panel. 3) reattach the power cord to the
appliance. 4) Re-connect to the power outlet. 5) Turn the appliance back on.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Read all the sections of this booklet and follow all the instructions carefully.

Prior To First Use, Clean The Unit
Thoroughly

• All components with the exception of the

electrical parts, can be washed in warm
soapy 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. To 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 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" l ine when

filling the basket with food.

1. 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.

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.

• 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 (11.5 cups/2.75
liters) and the maximum (14 cups/3.5
liters) levels marked inside the oil
container. Check the oil level before
each use. For best results, keep the oil
close to the maximum level (14 cups/3.5
liters). Fig. 2

• Never mix different oils and fats together.

Do not mix old and new oil.

2. Filling the Stainless Steel

Container With Oil

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.
