SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Rival Deep Fryer. This Deep Fryer is
equipped with a Break-away 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 the proper usage of the Break-away
magnetic cord.)
NOTE:This cord meets revised Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) Standard 1083
requirements effective May 30,2001.
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 Control Panel Assembly.Do not attempt to
service this product.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances,basic safety precautions should always be
followed,including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces.Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electric shock,do not immerse Control Panel Assembly,cord or
plugs in water or other liquids.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children.This
appliance is not to be used by children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.Allow to cool before
putting on or taking off parts,and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions,or has been damaged in any manner.Return appliance
to manufacturer (see warranty) for examination,repair,or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by manufacturer may
cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over the edge of table or counter,or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner,or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving fryer containing hot oil. Always use
oven mitts or hot pads.
12. Always attach plug to appliance first,then plug cord in the wall outlet.To
disconnect,turn control to “OFF,”then remove plug from wall outlet.
13. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
14. Be sure handle is properly assembled to basket and locked in place.(See
detailed assembly instructions)
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.
The magnetic end of the cord is
designed to only go on one way. Be
sure the side stating "THIS SIDE UP" is
facing up.
2.
Remove lid.
3.
Remove Frying Basket,pull Basket
Handle up until it clicks into the
horizontal position (Fig.2).
4.
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
which side is the “Heater Side”.Pour
cooking oil into Oil Reservoir until it
reaches between “MIN” and “MAX”
marks inside reservoir. DO NOT OVER OR
UNDER FILL.
5.
Smear a little oil on the inside of the
Viewing Window.This prevents
condensation,which impedes the view.
6.
Place lid onto the unit.
7.
Make sure that fryer is off and insert plug into 120 volts AC outlet.
(See “How to use the Digital Electronic Control Panel”)
8.
After oil has been preheated,remove lid and place Frying Basket
onto Basket Hook inside Oil Reservoir.
CAUTION:
Keep the Folding Handle in the locked position.
USING YOUR ELECTRIC DEEP FRYER
9.
Place food inside Frying Basket (Do not stack food).Place lid back
onto the unit.Lower Frying Basket into Oil Reservoir.
CAUTION:
Always replace lid before immersing food in oil.Do not
immerse or drain food with lid removed.
For cooking times,see fry chart on page 12 or use the recommended
times in your recipe.
10.
After time is up,lift Frying Basket and hang basket onto Basket Hook
in Oil Reservoir.To remove excess grease and retain crispness,let
food drain in Frying Basket at least 10-20 seconds.Open lid,then lift
Frying Basket by handle and pour contents onto plate covered with
paper towels before serving.
11.
When finished cooking,shut down fryer by pushing the
START / STOP BUTTON.
WARNING: DO NOT USE BREAK-AWAY POWER CORD SYSTEM TO DISCONNECT THE
FRYER. ALWAYS DISCONNECT PLUG FROM WALL OUTLET FIRST TO DISCONNECT
FRYER. Use only Model# DP16 magnetic cord set with this product. The use of any
other magnetic cord set may cause fire,electric shock,or injury.
CAUTION:
The Break-away power cord is only for accidental
disconnection and is not to be removed during normal operation. If the
cord becomes disconnected,the user should immediately unplug the
cord set from the wall outlet,then reconnect the magnetic cord to the
Deep Fryer.
NOTE:Your Deep Fryer is provided with a safety protection device:
If the Control Panel Assembly is not properly placed on the Stainless
Steel Exterior,the Control Panel Assembly will not operate.

•Do not use seasoned or flavored oil such as walnut,olive oil, lard or
drippings because they have a low smoke point.Use blended
vegetable oil,pure corn oil,sunflower oil,soybean oil or grapeseed
(canola oil) because these oils have a high smoke point.Peanut oil
is not recommended because it impacts the flavor greatly.
• Oils should never be mixed when deep frying.
• High heat,water,and burnt food particles break down the oil’s smoke
point.
•Replace oil if you notice:
-Excessive smoking at normal temperatures
- Strong oil discoloration
- A rancid smell
- Excessive foaming around the frying food
•Oil darkens with use because the oil and food molecules burn when
subjected to high/prolonged heat.The more you use an oil,the more
slowly it will pour.Its viscosity changes because of changes to the
TIPS FOR OIL USE AND STORAGE
oil’s molecular structure.When smoke appears on the oils’surface
before the temperature reaches 375 degrees F,your oil will no longer
deep-fry effectively.
•When frying foods with strong flavor and/or aroma like fish,use the
oil only once.
•Also,use the oil only once when frying fresh or frozen chicken.A
great deal of moisture is released when frying the chicken,this
breaks down the oil easily and can cause the oil to foam and lower
the smoke point.
•Filtering the oil with a cooking oil filter or fine-mesh strainer can help
keep it fresher.Although storing oil in a refrigerator may extend the
life of the oil,this should n ev e r be d o ne.The process of chilling oil
then bringing the oil to room temperature causes excessive
splattering during the heat up process.
•Store the covered oil in a cool dark place,for up to three months.Also
check the oil before using for color,smell or excessive foaming.
Discard the oil if it shows any of these qualities.
