The automatic safety switch ensures that the unit will not operate unless the control box

(power switch “ON” and temperature dial set to selected temperature) or if unit
appears to have stopped working.
• Unplug the unit from the wall electric outlet.
• Allow the unit to cool down.
• Check the oil level in your unit. If it is below the minimum level, oil should be added
before resetting the unit and resuming cooking cycle.

OPERATING THE BASKET HANDLE
• If handle is loose and not connected to the basket; hold
handle upside down and squeeze the ends together of the
metal rods. While squeezing, bring ends between the two
metal loops at the front of the basket and release the ends
allowing them to engage the loops. Now you can fold up
the handle into the locked position. (See Figure 1)
• Lift handle from the storage position and pull back until
handle is easily locked into position. The handle will not
be able to be moved forward if it is locked properly.
(See Figure 2)
•
To store the basket, the basket handle can be moved back
into the storage
forward until it has snapped out of the locked position.
It will rest upside down on the basket floor. (See Figure 2)
• It is very important that you lock the handle into place
before using the Fry Basket.
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
• Read all the sections of this fold-out manual carefully.
• Remove the fryer from the packaging.
• Open the lid by lifting up on the lid handle.
• Remove all accessories and printed documents from the basket.
• Take out the basket.
• Take out the control box (with heater) by grasping and sliding upward.
• Clean the lid, filter cover, metal mesh filter, basket, cooking pot and the main body
with hot water, a little dishwashing liquid and a sponge or put these parts into the
dishwasher to clean.
• Clean the heater with hot water.
Dry thoroughly, being careful not to bend wires leading to thermostat.
FILLING THE COOKING POT WITH OIL
• Make sure the cooking pot is correctly positioned in the main body.
• Fill pot with oil. The oil level must be maintained between the minimum
and maximum level marks indicated on the inside of the pot. Check the level before
each use and add oil if necessary.
• For healthier, crispier fried foods, we recommend you use a good quality
vegetable oil, pure corn oil, sunflower oil or canola oil.
• Wipe inside of viewing window with a small amount of vegetable oil to help prevent
condensation which can obstruct your view through the window while cooking.

from curtains and similar fittings. Never leave the appliance unattended while in use.
This appliance is not intended to be used by children.
• During the first use, the fryer may give off a slight odor. This is normal and is due to
the newness of the product.

MAXIMUM lines on the inside of the non-stick pot.
• Do not use the fryer without the cooking pot, without oil or with an insufficient level
(below the minimum level).

When the frying time is up, lift the basket up slowly and

out of the oil. Place the basket support clip (at the base of
the basket handle) onto the Basket-hook in the cooking pot
to allow excess oil to drain from the food.
• Let the food drain for a minute, remove basket and lay
food out onto a paper towel lined baking sheet to allow
any remaining oil to drain away.
• For best results, if you are frying more than one load,
you will want to give the oil a chance to heat up to the
proper temperature before placing another load into
the fryer. The pre-heat indicator light will go out.
• Always turn off the power switch and turn the
adjustable temperature dial all the way to the left, or
until you hear a click, or the preheat light goes out.
Unplug the deep fryer when you have finished frying.
• Let the fryer cool completely (1 to 2 hours) before
storing or cleaning.
• Never carry or move the deep fryer with hot oil inside.

FILTERING AND CHANGING THE OIL
• Make sure the fryer is unplugged and the oil has cooled down before cleaning
or storing your fryer.
•
The oil does not need to be changed after each use. On average, oil can be used for 8 to
12 uses. You will need to change it more often when frying fish or heavily battered foods.
• We recommend filtering the oil if you see any food debris left in the oil or on the
bottom of the pot. You may do this by performing the following:
• Remove the basket. Carefully pour the clear oil into another large pot or saucepan
(minimum of 3 to 5 liters), leaving food debris in bottom of cooking pot. Discard this
small amount of oil with food debris.
HOW TO CLEAN
• Prior to washing, wipe oil residue and food debris from cooking pot with paper towels.
• Wipe heater with dry paper towels until it is free from oily residue. Take care not to
bend thermostat wires on heater.
• To clean the control box and heater, use a damp dishcloth that has been dipped in
water and mild dish soap. Completely wipe down all parts of the control box. Wipe
off all residual dish soap with a damp cloth. Do not reassemble the deep fryer until
all the parts are thoroughly dry.
• To remove metal mesh filter, push back on filter cover locking tab and lift up on cover.
• Clean the lid, filter cover, metal mesh filter, basket, bowl and the main body with hot
water, a little dishwashing liquid and a sponge or put these parts into the dishwasher
to clean. The filter can be soaked in warm water with dishwashing liquid. Be sure to
rinse well and allow to dry completely.
Place the bowl as vertically as possible in the dishwasher, while ensuring it will not
hinder the spray arms. Dry thoroughly before reassembling all parts.
TORING YOUR APPLIANCE
S
• Do not store appliance that still contains oil in the oil tank or that has not been
cleaned and dried thoroughly.
• For best results in storing your appliance, fold fry basket handle back into basket,
also, place the control box on the stainless steel base and oil tank.
• Store metal mesh filter under filter cover on lid.
• Store in a dry area. Unit can be stored in its box. Do not place heavy items on top
of the deep fryer or the box, as this could result in damage to your appliance.
