SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This product is intended for household use only.

This product is only intended for the preparation, cooking, and serving of foods. This product is not intended for use with any non-food materials or products.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or using an adaptor. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

WARNING! Burn Hazards.

• Serious hot-oil burns may result from a

deep-fat fryer being pulled off a countertop. Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of the counter where it may be grabbed by children or become entangled with the user. Do not use with an extension cord.

• Hot liquid will splash if you miss the drain

bracket and accidentally drop the frying basket into the hot liquid. Do not lean over the deep fryer when the lid is off.

Frying

BEFORE FIRST USE: Thoroughly clean and dry fryer. See “Cleaning Your Fryer” section.

1. Place assembled fryer on stable, level,

heat-resistant surface out of reach of children.

2. Lift lid to open.

3. Remove basket from fryer.

4. Fill fryer with not less than 10 to not

more than 12 cups of oil to top indicator mark on the removable oil pot.

WARNING! Never operate unit without oil in pot or unit will exceed temperature limit and will require resetting.

5. Attach magnetic end of cord assem-

bly to fryer socket. Magnetic end of cord will only go in one way. Be careful not to disturb magnetic connection when plug-

ging cord into electrical outlet.

NOTE: The low magnetic force allows the cord to “break away” which prevents unit from accidentally being pulled off a countertop.

6. Close lid. Set temperature control to

desired setting. Set Power Switch to ON/I. Preheat fryer until Ready to Cook Light comes on (10 to 15 minutes). For more information on temperature selection, check food package or Frying Chart.

Ready to Cook Light will come on when oil has reached preset temperature.

7. To fry unbattered food, place food in

basket and proceed with step 8. To fry battered foods (such as tem-

pura batter), lower basket into oil, then carefully drop food directly into oil.

NOTE: To ensure that all food is properly cooked, do not exceed maximum amount of food to be fried in one batch. See Frying Chart.

8. Carefully place basket in fryer.

Close lid.

WARNING! Never operate unit without oil in pot or unit will exceed temperature limit and will require resetting.

9. When frying is done, remove lid,

raise basket and hook over removable oil pot to drain. NOTE: Do not allow condensation to drain into oil pot while removing lid or while unit is off.

10. Carefully empty food from basket

and place in a bowl or colander lined with paper towel. Fill and repeat as needed.

11. Set power switch to OFF/O and

unplug appliance after use.

FRYING TIP: Ready to Cook Light may go out after frying a batch of food. When oil has reached selected temperature, Ready to Cook Light will come back on. Unit is now ready to fry next batch of food.

Frying Tips

Selecting and Changing the Frying Oil

• Use a good quality vegetable or peanut oil.

• Frying foods in butter, margarine, olive oil, or animal fat is NOT recommended because of low temperature smoke point.

• DO NOT mix two types of oil.

• Change oil regularly to maintain optimum frying and flavor quality.

• Oil used for french fries can be used 10 to 12 times before changing if oil is filtered after each use. Oil used for food that is high in protein (such as meat or fish) should be changed more often.

• To filter oil, allow oil to completely cool. Cheesecloth or paper towel may be used as a filter to strain oil.

• Always follow food package directions.

• DO NOT add fresh oil to used oil.

• Always change the oil if it starts to foam when heated, when it has a strong smell or taste, or when it turns dark and/or syrupy.

Before Frying

• Excess water or ice particles can

cause hot oil to splatter or foam. Remove any excess water from fresh food by blotting with a paper towel. Remove any ice chunks or build up from frozen foods.

General Tips

• DO NOT use plastic utensils in hot oil.

• Season food AFTER frying.

• If food is not as crisp as desired, reduce batch size.

Disposing of Oil

• Pour cool oil into its original (resealable) empty plastic bottle.

Basket Usage with Freshly Battered Foods

• Freshly battered foods should be carefully placed directly into oil. First, lower basket fully then carefully place each piece of battered food into hot oil. Use basket to remove fried battered foods.

Storage

• Basket handle can be disengaged and rotated into basket. Place oil pot in base and then place basket and power cord in oil pot.

• It is best to store all oils in refrigerator or a cool, dark, dry place for up to six months.
