4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Do not let children handle or put electrical cords or plugs in their mouths.
6. Always attach magnetic plug end to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, remove plug from wall
outlet, then from appliance.
7. Unplug from outlet and deep fryer when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and

Important Fryer Guidelines
Use deep fryer only on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from countertop edge.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Hot oil can cause serious and painful
burns.
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.
To avoid the risk of electrocution or electrical burns, do not let the cord or plug come in contact with water or other liquid.
Use only a good, reliable standard brand of vegetable shortening or cooking oil for deep frying. Deep frying foods in butter,
margarine, olive oil, or animal fat is not recommended because of lower smoking temperatures.
Before deep frying, remove ice crystals and excess moisture from food by blotting with toweling—moist foods cause excess
foaming and spattering. Do not add wet food to cooking oil. Even small amounts of moisture may cause the oil to spatter
and/or foam.
Use caution when deep frying doughs, such as beignets, donuts, dumplings, hushpuppies, and fritters. These foods may
develop air bubbles during heating, which may burst and cause burns. Use a slotted spoon or tongs rather than a fork when
turning, during frying, and for removal from oil.
Use caution when deep frying flour tortillas. Flour tortillas contain air bubbles. During deep frying, oil can become trapped
within these bubbles. If not properly drained the bubbles can burst and cause burns. Therefore, after deep frying tortillas,
carefully raise them out of the cooking oil and allow oil to drain from the tortillas for approximately 30 seconds.
Always remove plug from wall outlet and then from deep fryer when unit is not in use.
Always allow fryer to cool completely before removing oil and before cleaning.
How To Use
Before using for the first time, wash scoop and interior of unit with warm, sudsy water and dry thoroughly. Never immerse unit in
water or other liquid, or wash in dishwasher.
1. Remove plastic cover.
2. Check the rubber pads on the bottom of the fryer before each use to be sure they are free of
oil or other debris. Wipe pads with warm, soapy water if necessary. Then dry thoroughly.
3. Place deep fryer on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface in center of counter
top.
4. Fill unit with cooking oil or shortening up to oil level line, which is located on inside of unit
(Fig. A). Never use more than four, 8-ounce cups of cooking oil or 2 pounds of shortening. Never use
any cover while oil is heating or while frying food.
Attach the cord to the unit by aligning the magnetic plug end of the cord assembly with the two electri-
5.
cal pins located in the recessed area of the fryer base (Fig. B). When properly aligned, the plug will
magnetically attach itself to the appliance. For proper connection, the magnetic plug end must be
parallel with the countertop (Fig. C).
Important: The magnetic cord was designed to detach easily from the fryer. As a result, if it is
bumped or touched during use, it could possibly detach causing the unit to
stop heating. Avoid contact with cord during operation. If contact occurs,
verify that the cord is still properly connected.
6. Plug cord into a 120 volt wall outlet. The unit is now “ON” and will remain
on until unplugged.
7. Preheat oil for 15 minutes. Note: Occasionally you may hear a pop or
clicking sound while the fryer is preheating. This is normal and a sign of
fast heatup. You may also notice this sound as the unit cools down.
8. Gently place 1 to 4 cups of food into unit. Use scoop to lessen spattering
of hot oil.
Note: If the plug accidentally detaches from the fryer during operation, reattach the cord following step 5 above. Use extreme
caution as unit will be hot.
9. Occasionally stir food gently while frying to prevent foods from sticking together. Do not use plastic utensils in hot cooking oil.
10. When food reaches desired brownness, lift and drain with scoop (refer to chart on page 3 for recommended cooking times).
Place food on absorbent paper. Season to taste. Repeat steps 8, 9, and 10 for additional servings.
Unit must be cool before cover can be replaced for storage of oil.
