Wolfgang Puck,

owner of the famous
Spago restaurants and
one of the most influential
chef-restauranteurs in
America, is credited
with reviving California’s
rich culinary heritage.
His cooking innovations,

a result of blending
fresh California ingredients with his classical French techniques, are
enjoyed by world leaders, stars and fellow chefs alike. He established
other trend-setting restaurants like Postrio in San Francisco, Chinois
on Main in Santa Monica, Granita, Vert and Trattoria del Lupo. Home
chefs can also share Mr. Puck’s talents through his cookbooks and,
of course, through his appliances!

Warning

1 This Fryer has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).

As a safety feature, this plug will 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. A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a
longer cord. Do not use this appliance with an extension cord.

2 Do not use the Fryer without oil. The Fryer will be severely damaged

if heated dry. Only use oil in your Deep Fryer. Fat that is not melted
will cause your Deep Fryer to overheat.

3 This 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. If your Deep Fryer
does not operate after using the reset button contact our customer
service department for repair.

4 Before using your Fryer for the first time wash the oil pot, lid, 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.

5 Prior to use ensure that your tap is in the closed position

(See figure 10 on page 15). With the tap in the closed position ensure
that your Fryer is not leaking from the tap by placing a small amount
of water in the pan. Empty water from the pan after checking the
tap and dry the oil pan thoroughly prior to adding oil. Should the tap
leak immediately stop use and contact our customer service
center for repair.

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

manufacturer in the Fryer.

7 This product should never be used unsupervised by children or

infirm persons.

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

they are very hot. Always use heat resistant gloves

9 DO NOT OPEN THE OIL DRAIN SYSTEM WHEN THE OIL IS HOT.

10 Always disconnect the power cord when not in use or when cleaning

your Fryer.

Before Your First Use

Carefully unpack the Deep Fryer and remove all packaging materials. Remove
the Deep Fryer lid, oil pan, frying basket and control panel. Wash the Fryer lid,
basket, oil pan and housing 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.

11 This 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.

12 Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
