SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. This Deep fryer is equipped
with Rival’s exclusive 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 removable Oil Reservoir in hot soapy water. Gently wipe the
Cool-Zone Heating Element with a damp cloth. Dry all parts thoroughly.
See CARE AND CLEANING section.

CAUTION: Do not immerse cord, plugs or control panel assembly 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.
