POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider

than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet

only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the

outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to 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.

Before fryer is used for the first time; remove all packaging materials including plastic
bag covering Fryer Basket and notice inside.

Make sure 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.Your fryer is now ready to use.

CAUTION: Do not immerse cord,plugs or Control Panel Assembly in water.

PREPARING YOUR ELECTRIC DEEP FRYER FOR USE

•Fill the unit to the maximum or 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.

•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.

•Fry foods at the correct temperature for best results.This will prevent burning and
give you even colored,crispy food.

NOTE:

Never turn on the fryer with an empty Oil Reservoir.Always use

your fryer on a flat,heat resistant surface.

1.

Attach magnetic end of Break-away cord assembly directly to the
fryer (See figure 1).

This should be done
prior to plugging the cord into the wall outlet.

facing up.

Make sure the Oil Reservoir is seated in
place with the Basket Hook on the side
opposite the Control Panel Assembly.The
Oil Reservoir is also marked indicating

cooking oil into Oil Reservoir until it
reaches between “MIN” and “MAX”
marks inside reservoir. DO NOT OVER OR

UNDER FILL.

Smear a little oil on the inside of the
Viewing Window.This prevents
condensation,which impedes the view.
