Additional Safety Precautions
1Do not use the Fryer without oil. The Fryer will be severely damaged if heated dry. Only use liquid oil in your Deep Fryer. Never use solid fat or shortening, as this will cause your Deep Fryer to overheat, or possibly start a fire.
2This Fryer is equipped with a safety reset button in order to prevent operation of the appliance in the event of improper use, or irregular operation. Once your Deep Fryer has completely cooled press the Reset button on the Heater Control Unit. If your Deep Fryer does not operate after using the reset button contact our customer service department for repair.
3Before using your Fryer for the first time wash the Oil Pot, Lid, Oil Pot Filter Screen and Frying Basket in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. It is important that your Fryer is completely dry prior to use as water will cause the hot oil to spatter. Do not immerse the Control Panel or Power Cord in water. Wipe with damp cloth only.
4Prior to use ensure that your tap is in the closed position (See figure 11 on page 20) and that your Safety Drain Cap is placed securely on the tap. See page 1 1 for installation instructions.
5Do not place oversized foods or utensils not recommended by the manufacturer in the Fryer.
6This product should never be used unsupervised by children or infirmed persons.
7To prevent burns do not touch any metal parts of the Deep Fryer as surfaces are very hot. Always use heat resistant gloves
8DO NOT OPEN THE OIL DRAIN SYSTEM OR REMOVE THE SAFETY DRAIN CAP WHILE THE OIL IS HOT.
9Always disconnect the power cord when not in use or when cleaning your Fryer.
10This Deep Fryer is designed with a Magnetic Release Power Cord that will break away from the Fryer base if the power cord is pulled. This safety feature will prevent the appliance from tipping and the hazardous spillage of hot oil.
a.WARNING: Always attach the cord to the Fryer first, then plug into the proper wall receptacle. Never leave the Magnetic Release Power Cord plugged into the wall without having it plugged into the appliance.
11Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
12Never leave appliance unattended when it is connected to the power outlet.

Before Your First Use
Carefully unpack the Deep Fryer and remove all packaging materials. Remove the Deep Fryer Lid, Oil Pan, Oil Pot Filter Screen, Frying Basket, Control Panel and Housing. Wash all parts except the Control Panel and Power Cord in warm soapy water. Never immerse the Control Panel and Power Cord, simply wipe with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleansers on any part of the Deep Fryer. Always ensure all components are completely dry prior to first use as water will cause severe spattering of the oil.
Warning: Do not clean the Deep Fryer by heating soapy water in it because there is danger that the water could overflow. Do not immerse the control panel or power cord in water. Reassemble the unit after cleaning.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Your deep fryer comes equipped with a removable screen located in the Oil Pan at the drain. This will prevent large pieces of food from becoming caught in the drain tap which could cause leaks. Please see the following important safeguards regarding your Drain Tap:
1Prior to adding oil ensure that your Drain Tap Lock is in the closed position and that your Drain Tap Filter is properly seated in the Oil Pan Drain and free of any food debris. Place the Safety Drain Cap on the Tap. See page 12.
2Never heat oil in your Deep Fryer without first ensuring that your Drain Tap is not leaking, and that your Drain Cap is securely in place. See page 1 1 for proper installation.
3Never drain hot oil, or while your Deep Fryer is plugged in. Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet first and allow the oil to completely cool.
4Never attempt to remove the Filter Screen by the Screen itself as this will permanently damage the Screen. Always grasp from the metal tube and pull straight up.
5To clean the Filter Screen hold the Filter by the metal tube and wash in warm soapy water. Flush water through the tube to push food particles out of the screen Never apply pressure to the filter screen itself to avoid damage.
6Should your Screen become damaged, discontinue use and contact our customer service department for replacement.

Assembling your Deep Fryer for Use
1Place the Deep Fryer housing on a stable, level surface.
2Ensure that all components of your Deep Fryer are completely dry prior to use to avoid risk of injury due to spattering.
3Insert the oil pot into the Deep Fryer housing ensuring that the front of the pot (the front is indicated by the tap) is placed at an angle into the housing. (See figure 1).
4Place the Oil Pot Filter Screen into the Oil Pot. Ensure that the raised end of the filter screen is towards the front of the Fryer Pot. (See figure 2).
5Line up the Heater Control Unit into the grooves on the rear of the Deep Fryer housing. Your Deep Fryer is equipped with a safety microswitch which will not allow the Heater Control Unit to work unless it is properly seated into both grooves in the Housing. (See figure 3).
6Add the appropriate amount of oil to the Oil Pot. Do not fill with oil above the maximum level or below the minimum level marked on the inside of the Deep Fryer pot. (See figure 4).
7Attach the Magnetic Release Power Cord into the receptacle on the Heater Control Unit. Only use the approved receptacle marked MC-316 in your unit. To attach the receptacle ensure that the marking “THIS SIDE IS UP” is facing up in order to line up with the plug receptacle on the
Heater Control Unit. (See Figure 5).
8Unfold the Basket handle and ensure that it is locked into place. The ends of the handle rods must be inserted in the loop of the Basket and placed behind the metal stem in order to lock in place. A serious burn injury can occur if your handle is not properly locked in place.
(See figure 6).
9Place the Basket into the Oil Pot. (See figure 7).
10To drain oil, lift and rest the Frying Basket on the Oil Pot.
