PREPARING YOUR FRYER FOR USE
Prior to first use, remove all packaging materials from the exterior and interior
of the fryer. Make sure the fryer is unplugged. Wash the Frying Basket and
removable Oil Reservoir in hot soapy water. Gently wipe the Heating Element
with a damp cloth. Dry all parts thoroughly. See the Care and Cleaning section
for details.
CAUTION: Do not immerse cord, plugs or control panel assembly in water.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove Handle and Frying Basket from inside the deep fryer.
2. Notice the eyelets on the interior side of the basket.
3. Squeeze the handle prongs in the middle.
4. Release the prongs into the eyelets on the interior side of the basket.
5. Press firmly down on the handle to lock in place.
TIPS FOR DEEP FRYING
• Fill the unit with oil between the maximum and minimum capacity lines
only.
• Do not over fill the basket. To achieve quality results deep frying food
needs to be surrounded by oil. Too much food causes the oil temperature
to drop, resulting in “soggy” food. Food should be no higher than the top
of the basket.
• Be sure that all ice crystals are removed from the food and food is
completely dry. Excessive water and ice can cause the oil to splatter and/
or overflow.
• Coated foods (bread crumbs, batters, etc.) are best for deep frying. The
coating acts as a protective layer keeping food moist on the inside and
crisp on the outside.
• For best results, defrost frozen foods for 20 minutes prior to frying.
• Fry foods at the correct temperature for best results. This will prevent
burning and give you even colored, crispy food.
• Prepackaged frozen, cooked chicken, may cook faster than uncooked
food.
• For even cooking, shake basket half way through cooking time.
HOW TO USE YOUR DEEP FRYER
CAUTION: Never turn on the fryer with an empty Oil Reservoir. Always use
your fryer on a flat, heat resistant surface.
• Attach magnetic end of cord assembly directly to the fryer (See Figure
1). This should be done prior to plugging the cord into the wall outlet.

The magnetic end of the cord is designed to only go
on one way. Be sure the side stating "THIS SIDE UP"
is facing up.
• Remove Frying Basket by pulling the Basket Handle
up.
• Make sure the Oil Reservoir is seated in place. Pour
cooking oil into Oil Reservoir until it reaches
between “MIN” and “MAX” marks inside reservoir.
DO NOT OVER OR UNDER FILL.
• Make sure that fryer is OFF and insert plug into 120 volt AC outlet.
• Turn fryer to desired temperature position.
• Turn Timer knob to “ON” position. Power Light will turn on.
• Ready light will turn on when oil is pre-heated. Remove the lid and
place Frying Basket onto basket hook inside Oil Reservoir.
• Place food inside Frying Basket (Do not over stack food). Lower Frying
Basket into Oil Reservoir. CAUTION: Always replace Lid after immersing
food in oil.
• Turn timer knob to desired time.
• After time is up a bell with sound and the power and power light will
turn off. Remove the lid and lift Frying Basket and hang basket onto
basket hook in Oil Reservoir. To remove excess grease and retain
crispness, let food drain in Frying Basket at least 10–20 seconds. Then
lift Frying Basket by handle and pour contents onto plate covered with
paper towels before serving.
• When finished cooking, make sure fryer is in OFF position.
WARNING: DO NOT USE THE DETACHABLE MAGNETIC CORD SYSTEM TO
DISCONNECT THE FRYER. ALWAYS DISCONNECT PLUG FROM WALL OUTLET
FIRST TO DISCONNECT FRYER.
Use only Model #MI-10/15 magnetic cord set with this product. The use of
any other magnetic cord set may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
CAUTION: The detachable magnetic cord is only for accidental
disconnection and not to be removed during normal operation. If the cord
becomes disconnected, the user should immediately unplug the cord set
from the wall outlet, then reconnect the magnetic cord to the deep fryer
and then to the wall outlet.
Figure 1
TO REMOVE AND REPLACE LID
• Remove Lid by pulling firmly upwards. Reverse the sequence to secure
Lid from the vertical position to secure back in place.
NOTE: Always remove Lid before emptying the Oil Reservoir or cleaning.
CAUTION: Ensure that Lid is in place prior to operation of unit.
FRYING TIME AND TEMPERATURE
The frying times in this chart are a guide and should be adjusted to suit the
different quantities or thickness of food and to suit your own taste.
Preheat time is 7–10 minutes for fryer to reach desired temperature. (Ready light
will cycle On/Off during frying as temperature fluctuates due to food load.)
Food Temp. Setting Time (minutes)
Chicken Strips 375°F/190°C 5–8
Chicken Pieces, Bone-In 360°F/180°C 15–20
Fish, Battered 340°F/170°C 8–10
French Fries, Frozen 375°F/190°C 3–5
Fritters 375°F/190°C 2–4
Onion Rings 375°F/190°C 3–5
Shrimp, Breaded 375°F/190°C 2–4
NOTE: Prepackaged frozen cooked chicken may cook faster than above time.
TIPS FOR OIL USE AND STORAGE
• Do not use seasoned or flavored oil such as walnut, olive oil, lard or
drippings because they have a low smoke point. Use blended vegetable
oil, pure corn oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil or grape seed oil (canola oil)
because these oils have a high smoke point. Peanut oil is not
recommended because it impacts the flavor greatly.
• Oils should never be mixed when deep frying.
• High heat, water and burnt food particles break down the oil’s smoke
point.

• Replace oil if you notice:
• Excessive smoking at normal temperatures
- Strong oil discoloration
- A rancid smell
- Excessive foaming around the frying food
• Oil darkens with use because the oil and food molecules burn when subjected
to high/prolonged heat. The more you use an oil, the more slowly it will pour.
Its viscosity changes because of changes to the oil’s molecular structure. When
smoke appears on the oils’ surface before the temperature reaches
375°F/190°C, your oil will no longer deep-fry effectively.
• When frying foods with strong flavor and/or aroma like fish or chicken,
use the oil only once.
• Filtering the oil with a cooking oil filter or fine-mesh strainer can keep it
fresher. Although storing oil in a refrigerator may extend the life of the oil, this
should never be done. This process of chilling oil then bringing the oil to room
temperature causes excessive splattering during the heat up process.
• Store the covered oil in a cool dark place, for up to three months. Check
the oil before using for color, smell, or excessive foaming. Discard the oil
if it shows any of these qualities.
Problem Cause Solution
Fryer not
operating
Oil spills over Oil reservoir over filled
Food greasy
or not crisp
RESETTING THE OVERHEAT
PROTECTION BUTTON
