SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. This Deep Fryer is equipped with Rival®brand’s SureRELEASE™ Power Cord
System, which includes a detachable magnetic cord designed to separate from the unit when certain amounts of force are applied. (See details on pg.6 for instructions on proper usage of the SureRELEASE™ magnetic cord.)
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. WARNING: Do not use an extension cord.
No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to service this product.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than
the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical
shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

PREPARING YOUR DEEP 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 Oil Reservoir in hot soapy water. Dry all parts thoroughly. See CARE AND CLEANING.
CAUTION: Do not immerse cord or plugs in water.
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.
