Attaching basket handle to basket
Before using the deep fryer, you will need to attach
the basket handle to the basket. Follow these steps:
1. Hold the basket in one hand and the basket
handle in your other hand. The PRESTO logo
on the handle should be facing up. You will
be placing the pegs, which are at the ends of
the two basket handle bars, into the two holes
in the basket bracket (Fig. F).
2. While holding the pegs near the peg holes, tilt
the handle inward before attempting to place
the pegs in their holes. You will not be able
to fit the second peg into its hole if the handle
bars are positioned too close to the bracket.
3. Place one of the pegs in one of the peg holes.
Then squeeze the handle bars together and fit
the opposite peg in the other hole (Fig. G).
4. While squeezing the handle bars together and
keeping the pegs in the holes, rotate the handle
towards the basket rim, allowing the handle bars
to snap into the tabs (Fig. H) on the bracket. The
handle is now in the locked position.
WARNING! Failure to securely attach the basket
handle can result in the release of the basket
during use, which may result in severe burns.

Important Fryer Guidelines
• Use the deep fryer only on a clean, dry, level,
stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from the
countertop edge.
• WARNING! Hot oil can cause serious and painful
burns. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
5 6
Fig. H
Tabs
• WARNING! Oil and water do not mix. The combination can be dangerous. When the oil is
heated, any water droplets in the oil super-heat, becoming a volatile steam that can cause hot
oil to spatter, boil over, or even erupt out of the deep fryer. Hot oil can cause severe burns!
Accordingly, before pouring oil into the removable pot, be sure that the pot and all parts
are completely dry. Before placing food in deep fryer, always remove ice crystals and
excess moisture from food by patting dry with paper toweling.
• CAUTION! When frying doughs, such as beignets, donuts, dumplings, hushpuppies, and
fritters, use the scoop provided or tongs, rather than a fork, to turn food during frying and
to remove food from oil. These foods may develop air bubbles during heating, which may
burst and cause burns.
• CAUTION! Flour tortillas contain air bubbles. During frying, oil can become trapped within
these bubbles. If not properly drained, the bubbles can burst and cause burns. Therefore,
after frying tortillas, carefully raise them out of the vegetable oil and allow oil to drain
from the tortillas for approximately 30 seconds.
• CAUTION! Because raw fries contain a high percentage of moisture, extreme care must
be used when frying. Follow special frying instructions found in “To fry” steps 1, 4, 5,
and 6 (pages 7 and 8), the timetable (page 10), and the Raw French Fries recipe (page 11).
• WARNING! To avoid the risk of electrocution or severe disfiguring electrical burns, do
not let children handle or put electrical cords or plugs in their mouths. Do not let the cord
or plug come in contact with water or other liquid.
• Never use the deep fryer without the removable pot,
Fig. I
without oil, or with insufficient oil. Failure to fill fryer
with oil to the minimum (MIN) fill level will cause
overheating and damage to the product. Also never
exceed the maximum (MAX) fill level. Using more
than the maximum amount may cause the oil to boil
over the top of the fryer. The MIN and MAX fill levels
are embossed inside the removable pot (Fig. I). The
minimum amount of oil for this fryer is six, 8-ounce
cups and the maximum amount is eight, 8-ounce cups.
• Use vegetable oil, such as canola, corn, sunflower,
peanut, or soybean, for frying. Frying foods in butter, margarine, olive oil, or animal fat is
not recommended because they have lower smoking temperatures.
• Always remove plug from wall outlet and then magnetic plug end from fryer when not
in use. Always allow fryer to cool completely with cover closed before removing oil and
before cleaning.
How To Use
To fill with oil
1. Open the deep fryer cover. If the frying basket is in the fryer, remove it and set it aside.
2. Fill the removable pot with vegetable oil or shortening up to the maximum oil level line
(MAX) located on the inside of the removable pot (Fig. I). Use eight, 8-ounce cups of
oil or four pounds of shortening. The amount of oil in the removable pot must always be
between the MIN and MAX level markings. Never exceed the MAX level mark.
To preheat
1. Close the fryer cover. Attach the power supply cord to the fryer by aligning the magnetic
plug end of the cord with the two electrical pins located in the recessed area of the fryer
base (Fig. J). When properly aligned, the magnetic plug end will attach itself magnetically
to the appliance. For proper connection, the magnetic plug end must be parallel with the
countertop (Fig. K).
Important: The magnetic cord assembly was designed to detach easily from the fryer.
As a result, if bumped or touched during use, it could detach, causing the unit to stop
heating. Avoid contact with magnetic cord assembly during operation. If contact occurs,
verify it is still properly connected.
2. Plug power supply cord into a 120VAC electrical wall outlet only. NOTE: When using
the fryer for the first time, it is normal for a slight odor or light smoking to occur as
manufacturing residue evaporates.
3. While oil is preheating, prepare food for frying. When the oil has reached the proper frying
temperature, the indicator light will go out. Preheat time is approximately 10 minutes.
WARNING! To prevent risk of severe personal injury or property damage, use caution when
frying with hot oil.
To fry
1. Place frying basket on countertop and fill up to ⅔ full with food. For raw fries, only fill
basket ½ full.
2. Push cover release button to open cover. If cover does not open completely, slowly tilt
the cover back to an upright position. CAUTION! Even though fryer has a special cooltouch exterior, the interior of the fryer is extremely hot and should not be touched.
3. Place the filled frying basket in the removable pot, aligning the grooves on the sides of
the basket handle with the guide ribs on the front of the base (Fig. L and M), and lower
the basket until it stops. This is the drain position.
4. With your hand on top of the cool-touch cover, pull cover down to the closed position and
press until it locks in place. When frying raw fries, leave
cover in open position until basket has been completely
lowered into oil.
5. Slide the basket lowering button forward and slowly
lower the basket into the oil. When lowering a basket
containing raw fries, make sure the oil does not bubble
up to the rim of the removable pot.
If it appears the oil will bubble up to the rim, raise the
basket and allow the bubbles to subside. Then slowly
lower the basket again. Repeat until
basket is completely lowered into fryer.
6. Begin timing (see page 10). During the
first few minutes, it is normal for steam
to appear on the viewing window. This
will slowly disappear during frying if the
window is kept clean between uses.

CAUTION! It is normal for steam to escape from the cover vents during frying. To prevent
steam burns, keep well away from the vents.
Note: High moisture foods, such as French fries, produce more steam than other foods.
The fryer is designed to ensure that excessive moisture does not remain in the fryer. Thus,
when frying moist foods, you may see beads of condensation on the exterior of the fryer.
This is normal.
7. When frying time has elapsed, lift up on basket handle to raise basket to the drain position.
8. Push the cover release button to open the cover. Allow the steam to vent and then slowly
tilt the cover back to an upright position; do not touch hot surfaces. Check that the
food is golden brown. If more frying time is needed, close the cover and slide the basket
lowering button forward to lower the basket back into the oil.
9. Once the food is done, carefully lift the basket out of the fryer and empty food on paper
toweling. Season to taste.
10. If frying additional food, close fryer cover and wait for indicator light to go out. Then
repeat steps 1 through 9.
Care and Cleaning
1. Remove plug from wall outlet and then from deep fryer. Allow oil and fryer to cool
completely with the cover closed.
2. After unit has cooled completely, open cover. Lift
the removable pot out of the deep fryer using the
two carrying handles.
3. If you plan to reuse the vegetable oil, it is recommended that you strain the oil through a filter or
double thickness of cheese cloth to remove any
food particles. Store oil in a tightly sealed container
where it will not be exposed to heat or direct light.
4. Detach the basket handle from the basket and wipe
handle with a damp cloth to clean. To detach the
basket handle for cleaning, squeeze the handle bars
together and tilt the handle towards the interior of
the basket. While squeezing the handle bars, remove
the pegs from the peg holes.
5. Wash the frying basket, with the handle removed,
with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse and
dry thoroughly. The frying basket, with the handle
removed, may be washed in the dishwasher.
Wash the removable pot with warm water and a
mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Washing
the removable pot in a dishwasher is not recommended. If you choose to wash the removable pot
in a dishwasher, the exterior of the removable pot
will likely discolor due to the caustic nature of the
dishwasher detergent.

Do not use steel wool scouring pads on the removable pot or the cool-touch base. To
clean oil residue, use a heavy-duty nylon abrasive scouring pad and a chlorine cleanser.
6. Never immerse the cool-touch base in water or other liquid, or wash in a dishwasher.
Wipe with a damp cloth to clean.
7. After each use, wipe the inside of the fryer cover with a damp cloth. For a more thorough
cleaning, remove the cover from the fryer base by opening the cover and then lifting it
straight up. Press the release latch on the filter cover (Fig. E, page 5) and remove the
charcoal filter. The filter should not be washed.
Always remove the filter before immersing the cover in water. Wash the cover in warm,
soapy water; rinse and dry. Do not wash the cover parts in the dishwasher. Dry the
cover in a vertical position to allow water to drain out. Once the cover is thoroughly dry,
reattach it to the fryer base.
8. On the back side of the deep fryer is a slide-out drip cup (Fig. B, page 4). This cup collects
condensation from the fryer cover when the cover is opened after frying. Empty the drip
cup after each use and replace in fryer with the tab side out.
9. Store the power supply cord in a clean, dry location away from metal objects. Always
check the magnetic plug end before use to assure metal items have not become attached.
10. Periodically check the screws on the basket handle for looseness. Retighten, if necessary,
with a Phillips screwdriver. NOTICE: Continuing to tighten, once secure, can result in
stripping of screws.
Sometimes my fryer won’t heat up or it stops working while I’m frying. Why?
If your fryer fails to preheat or if the frying process stops while you are frying, check the
magnetic cord assembly to assure magnetic plug end is properly attached to the appliance
(Fig. K, page 7).
The basket lowering button moves, but nothing happens. Why?
The basket is probably not positioned correctly in the fryer base. If you look at the basket
handle, you will notice a long groove on each side of the handle. These grooves need to be
lined up with the guide ribs on the fryer base (Fig. L and M, page 8). This enables the basket
to be lowered partially into the fryer. The basket lowering button is then used to lower the
basket the rest of the way into the hot oil. If the handle is not positioned correctly in the slot,
the basket lowering button will not function.
Whenever I make battered foods, they stick to the basket. What can I do?
Battered foods work best when fried without the basket. When using the fryer without the
basket, a slotted heat-resistant scoop may be used to add or remove foods. These heat-resistant
scoops may be purchased on the web at www.GoPresto.com.
My food doesn’t get as crisp as I’d like or is unevenly cooked. What am I doing wrong?
You may have overfilled the fryer. If too much food is fried at the same time, the food will
not get crisp. Do not fill the basket more than ⅔ full. If your food is unevenly cooked, you
may be frying foods that are not uniform in thickness or size. Try frying foods of equal size
and thickness as they will fry more evenly and at the same speed.
Helpful Hints
• CAUTION! Before deep frying, always remove excess moisture or ice crystals from food
by patting dry with paper toweling. Even small amounts of moisture may cause the oil
to spatter, pop, boil over, or erupt out of the deep fryer. Hot oil can cause severe burns!
• When breading or coating foods, use commercial breading, finely ground bread or cracker
crumbs, corn meal, a mixture of corn meal and flour, pancake mix, or prepared bread mixes.
• Use only heat-resistant utensils in the fryer. Hot oil damages most plastic or rubber utensils.
Do not leave metal utensils in the fryer as they will become hot.
• After each use, strain oil through a filter or a double thickness of cheesecloth to remove
the accumulated residue.
• The number of times the vegetable oil can be reused will depend on the food that is fried in
it. For example, the oil will need to be replaced more often if fish, chicken, or food coated
with bread or cracker crumbs is fried frequently.
• It is time to replace the vegetable oil when the oil is dark in color, has an unpleasant odor,
smokes when it is heated, or foams excessively during frying.
Questions and Answers
How do I know the removable pot is installed correctly?
The spring-loaded thermostat makes it easy to place the pot in the base. Instead of a snap fit
which requires precise positioning, the fryer’s pot floats in the base. Simply position the pot
so the ▼ on the front of the pot aligns with the front seam of the base (Fig. D, page 4). Then
close the cover. If the cover closes, the pot is in the correct position.

Raw French Fries
Cut scrubbed potatoes into ¼ to ½ inch thick strips. Place into large bowl and cover with hot tap water.
Soak potato strips for 15 minutes or until ready to fry. Rinse, drain, and pat dry with paper toweling.
Because raw fries contain a high percentage of moisture, extreme care must be used when placing
them into hot oil. Make sure fries are well dried before frying.
Fill the basket ½ rather than ⅔ full. Keeping the cover open, lower the lled basket slowly into the
hot oil. If the oil starts to boil up too quickly, lift the basket out of the oil for a couple of seconds, then
lower again. Repeat as necessary until the basket is completely lowered into the fryer. Close cover.
