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 is dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact our Customer Service Department for examination of your fryer.

7 Do not mix different types of oils.

8 The use of accessory attachments not recommended or sold by the

appliance manufacturer may cause ﬁre, electric shock, or injury.

9 Do not use outdoors.

10 Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot

surfaces.

11 Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated

oven.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (One blade is wider than the other.). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to ﬁt in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not ﬁt fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not ﬁt, contact a qualiﬁed electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

SHORT POWER CORD

1 A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks of injuring

yourself from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2 Do not use with an extension cord.

Warning: Serious hot-oil burns may result if deep fryer is pulled off a countertop. Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of the counter where it may be grabbed by children or become entangled by the user. This is why the Deep Fryer is equipped with a magnetic-release detachable power cord.

About Wolfgang Puck ...............................................................4

In the beginning, there was Wolfgang Puck. There were cooks and there were kitchens and there were people eating food, but the world had never seen anything like Spago — with its California cuisine, its casual elegance, and its chef whose genuine warmth and love of craft redeﬁned the dining experience. And they came — from LA and from everywhere — to experience the future. Wolfgang Puck shaped the modern culinary landscape: he was the ﬁrst celebrity chef, the inventor of fusion cuisine, the ﬁrst in farm-to-table. His work is inspired by California living, and an insistence on only the freshest ingredients. From his legendary ﬁne dining icons, his entrepreneurial

spirit has built an empire — from dining, to catering, to products for the home — touching the lives of millions around the globe. Today, as always, Chef Puck is earnestly, restlessly, tirelessly at work behind the scenes inventing what’s next. He is driven by a genuine love of his craft, a passion for what’s possible, and its potential to change the world.

Additional Safety

Precautions

Know Your Deep Fryer

1 Do not use the Deep 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.

2 This Deep 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 back of the Control Panel with a pen tip or paper clip. See illustration on Page 8 for location of the Reset Button. If your Deep Fryer does not operate after using the Reset Button contact our customer service department for repair.

3 Before using your Deep Fryer for the ﬁrst time, wash the appliance

according to the care and cleaning section of this manual.

4 Do not place oversized foods or utensils not recommended by the

manufacturer in the Deep Fryer.

5 This product should never be used unsupervised by children or

inﬁrmed persons.

6 To prevent burns do not touch any metal parts of the Deep Fryer as

they are very hot. Always use heat-resistant gloves.

7 Never use less oil than the MIN line, or more oil than the MAX line

within your Oil Pot. Overﬁlling the Oil Pot could cause overﬂow of hot oil and possible cause a scalding injury.

8 Do not exceed 3/4 full of the Frying Basket. Overﬁlling the Frying

Basket could cause oil to overﬂow from the Oil Pot and cause a scalding injury.

9 Hot oil and water are dangerous. Water can cause the hot oil to

bubble and overﬂow and cause excess spluttering. Do not add water, wet foods or icy frozen foods to hot oil.

Assembling Your Deep Fryer

1 Place the Deep Fryer on

a stable, level surface.

2 Ensure that all

components of your Deep Fryer are completely dry prior to use to avoid risk of injury due to spattering.

3 Ensure that the Oil

Container Lid is secularly snapped into place on the Oil Container and the Pouring Cap is also snapped closed. Slide the Oil Container into the Oil Container Housing as shown in Figure 2.

4 Place the Oil Pot into the

Oil Pot Housing with the Drain Tap towards the front of the Deep Fryer (Figure 1).

5 Slide the Control Panel

down into the Control Panel Housing and ensure that it is fully seated by applying downward pressure (your Deep Fryer is equipped with a safety microswitch which will not allow the Control Panel to work unless it is properly seated into the Control Panel Housing).

(Cont.)

8 Attach the Magnetic Connector end of the Power Cord into the

receptacle on the back of the Deep Fryer Housing (Figure 5) ensuring that the side marked "THIS SIDE UP" is facing up (Figure 5).

9 Once the oil has been preheated to the desired temperature, place

the assembled Frying Basket (see "Assembling Your Deep Fryer Basket" on page 12) onto the hook in the Oil Pot (Figure 3) so that it is in the elevated position with the Basket Handle extending over the Control Panel (Figure 4). This allows the Frying Basket to sit out of the oil while still being able to place the Lid on the Oil Pot.

Figure 2 Figure 3

6 Add the appropriate

amount of oil to the Oil Pot. Do not ﬁll with oil above the MAX level or below the MIN level marked on the inside of the Oil Pot.

7 Place the Lid on top

of the Oil Pot with the Permanent Steam Filter towards the rear of the Deep Fryer.
