Frying Food
Note: When frying frozen food such as
French Fries, remove the frying basket
before filling with frozen food because oil
will spatter and may cause burns. You
should not fill the frying baskets more than
halfway. Remove any ice crystals from the
frozen food prior to frying. Failure to do so
may cause the oil in the deep fryer to
overflow when the food is placed in the oil.
• Always use the frying baskets to fry
food.
• When the oil is pre-heated, the ready
light will start flashing and turn green,
indicating that the desired temperature
is reached.
• Slowly lower the frying basket into the
hot oil. Lowering the frying basket too
quickly can result in the oil overflowing
and splashing.
• Replace the deep fryer cover carefully.
• It is normal for steam to escape through
the sides of the cover while frying.
• Avoid standing too close to the deep
fryer while it is working.
Warning: When opening the cover after
frying, lift up the cover slightly, then wait to
allow steam to escape before removing
the cover completely. Keep face away
from unit to avoid burns caused by
escaping steam.
Caution: When frying frozen foods such
as French Fries, you should not exceed
the max line on the fryer baskets. Clean
off any ice from frozen food prior to frying.
Failure to do so may cause fryer to
overflow when food is placed in oil.
Warning: When frying foods, always
remove the frying basket from the deep
fryer before filling with food because oil
will spatter and cause burns. Be
especially cautious when frying frozen
foods.
• Push the On/Off button to shut the unit
off.
• The ready light will remain lit when the
unit is turned “Off”
• Unplug the main cord from the
electrical outlet.
• Lift up the cover slowly and wait to
allow steam to escape before removing
the cover completely.
• Lift up the frying basket by the handle.
Place it on the oil container and allow
the food to drain for a minute.
• Once the oil has drained from the
frying basket, the basket may be lifted
off and the food served.
Warning: Always let the deep fryer cool
completely (approximately 2 hours)
before cleaning or storing. Never carry
or move the deep fryer with hot oil inside.

Frying Tips
• Do not mix different oils or new and old oil together.
• Replace oil regularly. In general, oil will be tainted fast when frying food containing a
lot of protein, (such as poultry, meat and fish). When oil is used mainly to fry
potatoes and is filtered after each use, it can be used up to 8 to 10 times, but do not
use the same oil for more than 6 months.
• Always replace all oil as soon as it starts foaming when heated or when color
becomes dark or when it has a rancid smell or taste or becomes syrupy.
• Make sure that the food to be fried is dry.
• Remove loose ice from frozen food before frying. Rinse and pat dry.
• To cook evenly, pieces should be the same size and thickness.
• Thicker pieces will take longer to cook.
Temperature Settings
The following cooking times reflect only the approximate time needed to fry one
basket 1/2 full. The exact time may be different depending on actual quantity,
personal cooking preferences, size and thickness of pieces, etc...

Fish Fillets 3-4 minutes
Chicken Fingers 3-5 minutes
Chicken Pieces 10-15 minutes

Filtering & Changing The Oil
• Make sure the deep fryer is unplu gged
and the oil has cooled before cleaning
or storing the deep fryer.
• The oil does not need to be c hanged
after each use. In general, the oil will
be tainted rather quickly when frying
food containing a lot of protein (such
as poultry, meat or fish). When oil is
mainly used to fry potatoes and is
filtered after each use, it can be used 8
to 10 times. However, do not use the
same oil for longer than 6 months.
• To filter the oil first make sure the oil
has cooled and then empty the oil from
the oil container into another container
or bottle. (Fig. 8) Wash and dry the oil
container and basket. Refill the oil
container with the oil, pouring the oil
through a wire strainer or paper filter.
(Fig. 9)
Fig. 8 Fig. 9
Detachable Power Cord
Your deep fryer has been specifically
designed with your safety in mind. Your
deep fryer 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 female 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°.
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. (Fig. 10)
2. Turn off the
appliance at the
control panel.
3. Re-attach the
power cord to
the appliance.
4. Re-connect to
electrical outlet.
5. Turn the appliance back on.
