FILLING THE COOKING POT WITH OIL
• Make sure the cooking pot is correctly positioned in the main body.
• Remove frying basket and set aside.
• 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.

prevent condensation which can obstruct your view through the window
while cooking.

FOODS
• Open the Lid by pressing the Lid Release Button located below the Control Box
and remove basket from deep fryer.
• Place food in Basket. Do not fill more than 2/3 full from the bottom of the Basket.
• Carefully place the Basket with food into the center recess of the Control Box,
leaving Handle in horizontal position - do not fold down to lower the Basket yet.
• Close Lid and press it on each side of the Control Box to make sure the dual
locking tabs are secure.
• Attach the Magnetic Detachable Power Supply Cord to the receptacle at the
back of the fryer Main Body. The magnet block fits only one way, so if it
does not hold in place, turn the block over and try again.
• Plug the Cord into an outlet.
• Slide the Adjustable Temperature Knob to the desired temperature. See
Cooking Guide section for proper temperature selection.
• The Power Light to the far left of the Light Bar will turn ON as well as the
Pre-Heat Indicator Light to the far right of the Light Bar.
• When the desired temperature is reached, the Pre-Heat Indicator Light on
the far right side will turn OFF, the Power Light will remain ON as long as
the unit is plugged in and is functioning.
• Press Basket Lowering Button on the Folding Basket Handle and slowly
allow the Handle to fold down into the recess area of the Control Box. This
will lower the Basket of food into the hot oil and the frying will begin.
• When desired cooking time has been reached, carefully raise the Handle
back into the horizontal position until it locks into place. This will raise the
frying Basket from the hot oil and will allow the excess oil to begin draining
off the food.
•
When you wish to enjoy the food, press the Lid Release Button to open the Lid.
Warning: By pressing the Lid Release Button the unit will release hot steam
and de-pressurize the container. Extreme care should be used to ensure hands
and face are clear of the appliance when hot steam is released.
•
Take out the Basket and place the food on dishes (or first place on paper towel
to help absorb any excess oil that may remain on the outside of the food).
Warning: The Basket is very hot. Only carry the Basket using the Basket
Handle. Do not touch the hot metal.
• If you wish to fry another batch of food, repeat the above steps. If you have
completed frying, turn unit to OFF position by sliding the Adjustable
Temperature Knob all the way to the left and unplug the unit from the outlet.
Warning: Oil remains hot for a long time after use. Do not attempt to move
or carry the fryer while it is hot. Do not attempt to pour off oil from
cooking pot for storage until oil has cooled completely, usually 1 to 2 hours –
longer if lid is in closed position.
F
ILTERING AND
• 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.

• 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.
• Clean the lid with built-in permanent 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.
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.
