IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should always be followed, including
the following :
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handles or
knobs.
3. To protect against electric shock do not
immerse cord, plugs, or this appliance in water
or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near 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. Call our Consumer Service
Department for examination.
7. The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by the appliance manufacturer
may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over 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 an
appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
12. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug
cord in the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any
control to “off,” then remove plug from wall
outlet.
13. Do not use appliance for other than intended
use.
14. Extreme caution must be used when moving
fryer containing hot oil.
15. Be sure handles are properly assembled to
basket and locked in place. See detailed
assembly instructions.
SAVE THESE
17. Do not overload the basket. For safety reasons
18. Never operate your fryer without any oil or fat.
19. The cooking times are given as guidelines only.
20. The oil must be filtered regularly and changed
21. Do not mix different types of shortening
22. If you use solid vegetable shortening, cut it into
23. If the fryer has a removable pot, never remove

feet screws every 25 uses or 4 times per year.
If this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other) it is 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.
Do not use with an extension cord. A short
power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply
cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
The cord is equipped with a detachable
magnetic connector. The magnetic connector
should be attached directly to the fryer. THIS
SHOULD BE DONE PRIOR TO PLUGGING
THE CORD INTO THE WALL OUTLET.

Using the Oil box container control lever
The Oil box control lever has 3 positions.
Fry Position: to fry.
Automatic Oil Filtration Position: to drain and filter the oil into the oil box.
Oil box Position: to allow for removal of the oil box container.
Before first use
• The fryer can be completely dismantled.
Remove the lid. Remove the frying basket, control unit and bowl. Remove the oil box by positioning
the Oil box control lever on the Oil box position.
• Clean the lid, the bowl, the housing, the frying basket and the Oil box with soap and water or put them in
the dishwasher.
• Clean the control unit and the heating element with a damp cloth.
• Dry thoroughly.
• After cleaning, press on the red button under the fryer to release any water in the bowl.
NOTE: Do not immerse the control unit with the heating element in water.
Check that the red button has gone back to its original position.

Make sure that the control unit is correctly positioned otherwise the fryer cannot function.
USING YOUR FRYER
Getting Started
• Fill the bowl with oil.
The oil level should always be between the MIN and MAX level of the bowl.
Do not exceed the maximum fill line as boiling oil may overflow during frying and can cause
severe burns.
• For best results we recommend vegetable oil.
NOTE: Never use different types of oil at the same time as this may cause the oil to overflow.
MAX 14 cups / 3.3 L
12 cups / 2.8 L
MIN
• If you use solid vegetable shortening:
Cut the shortening into small pieces and melt it in a separate pan. Pour the melted
shortening into the fryer bowl.
NOTE: Never melt the shortening on the heating element or in the frying basket. If you melt
the shortening on the heating element or in the frying basket, the safety cut-out will be
activated. Press the “reset” button, which is located at the back of the fryer.

Recommended capacity 1.3 lbs / 600 g 1 lb / 450g
• Place food in the basket without overfilling. Notice the Max. food level marking on the basket. Reduce
the quantity for frozen foods.

seconds.
• Place and lower the basket slowly into the oil. Plunging the basket too quickly into the oil may cause it
to overflow.
• Put the lid on the fryer
NOTE: No matter what the recipe, food must be dried thoroughly before frying. This will prevent the oil
overflowing and extend the life of the oil. During cooking, it is normal for the temperature light to go on
and off.

COOKING TABLES
The cooking times are a guide only. They could vary depending on quantity,
taste, electricity supply etc...
• For best results and to prevent overflowing, use the traditional method of frying hand made
French fries

- second cycle at 374 °F/190 °C
• For safety and for the crispiest results, dry food items thoroughly before frying, especially
frozen foods and freshly made fries.
• Large pieces of chicken or large fries need a longer cooking time.
• Set the temperature thermostat according to the table, or follow the instructions on food
packaging.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• For your safety, the appliance automatically drains all kinds of oils (or solid shortenings) when it
is cool enough (approximately 3 hours after the last cooking).
• When you are finished cooking, turn the Oil box control lever to the Automatic oil filtration
position.
• Once filtration is finished, you can store the container in or out of the appliance:
- In the appliance: Turn the Oil box control lever to the Fry position to lock the drawer into
place. The appliance must be carried and transported flat.
- Out of the appliance : Turn the Oil box control lever to the Oil box position and then remove
the container. Transport it with care.
NOTE: Make sure that the oil container is empty before draining the fryer. Carry the container
with both hands. Store it in a cool dry place away from the light.
• To re-use the oil, remove the container with care.
Unscrew the oil box cap and empty the oil in the fryer bowl.
• For the solid shortening, remove the lid from the container. Turn the container over and
press it to loosen the shortening. Cut shortening into pieces and melt in a separate pan.
Once melted, pour shortening into the bowl.
• Insert the empty container in the fryer, with the lid and cap. Place the Oil box control lever
on the Fry position.
NOTE: Never put the Oil box in the microwave oven. Do not pour used oil in the sink.
11
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
OK
Change oil:
Your fryer is equipped with an oil change indicator.
• After 10 uses, the light will flash to indicate that the oil should be
changed in the near future. At 15 uses, the light will remain on. Oil
should be changed regularly for best frying results and to prevent
overflowing.
• Change the oil/fat and press the Reset button on the panel until the
light goes off.
Dishwasher Safe: very easy to clean.
• The lid, bowl, housing, frying basket and the Oil Box are dishwasher safe.
• The permanent filter in the lid can be cleaned by removing the filter cover.
• The oil filter grid located in the removable bowl is fixed. Do not try to dismantle it.
• After cleaning, press on the red button under the fryer to release any water in the bowl.
