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 handles or knobs.
3 To protect against electrical 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. Return appliance to the nearest
authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
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 household use only.
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.
16 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Polarization instructions
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade in 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.
Short Cord instructions
a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is provided to reduce the
risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) An extension cord or longer detachable cord is not recommended for use with this
product.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME:
Read the User’s Instructions and carefully follow all information given.
• Remove the fryer from the packaging.
• Open the fryer lid.
• On models with filtering lid, remove the lid by slightly lowering it and pulling it towards
yourself.
• Remove the basket from the pot, and unwrap the protective plastic.
• Unfold the handle completely and snap it into the metal lock.
• Take out any documents placed in the pot.
• Lift off the control unit - FIG. 1
• Take out the removable pot - FIG. 2
• Clean all metal parts of the lid, the pot and the basket with a sponge and dishwashing
liquid.
• Wipe the outside of the fryer with a damp cloth.
• Lightly wipe the inside of the window with a cloth dampened with cooking oil to prevent condensation and to improve viewing.
• Carefully wipe dry.
• Put the pot back in the fryer.
• The edge of the pot should fit perfectly into the fryer.
• Refit the control unit.
• Your deep fryer is equipped with a safety system which prevents the heating element
from operating when it is outside the product. Make sure that the control box is properly positioned, otherwise the deep fryer will not work.
FILLING THE POT WITH OIL:
• Fill the pot with oil. Your fryer will need approximately 15 to 16 cups of oil. The oil
level must be maintained between the minimum (15 cups / 3.9 liter) and maximum
(16 cups / 4.1 liter) levels indicated on the inside of the pot. Check the level before
each use and add oil if necessary. Over filling might cause overflows.
• For healthier, crispier fried foods, we recommend the use of blended vegetable oil, pure
corn oil or canola (rapeseed) oil. We do not recommend the use of heavy flavored oils,
such as olive oil, or oils which deteriorate more quickly when heated such as sunflower
oil, peanut (groundnut) oil, soya oil, lard or drippings.
• If the level is too low a safety system will automatically switch off operation of the fryer.
In this case, reset the fryer by pressing the “ Reset ” button situated underneath the
control unit : unclip the control unit and press the reset button - FIG. 3
• If you use solid vegetable shortening, you will need 3 lbs (1.3 kg). Cut it into pieces and
melt it in a separate pot beforehand, then slowly pour it into the deep fryer pot.
• Never pour shortening directly into the deep fryer pot as this will lead to deterioration
of the appliance.
