Using the Countdown Timer
Once you have selected the appropriate temperature as indicated on

the display indicating that the unit has turned itself off.

Operating the Control Panel
in Program Mode
Using the Program Function
Your Deep Fryer comes equipped with four pre-programmed settings
for French Fries, Chicken, Fish, & Shrimp. These settings are based upon
frying no more than the recommended volume of food, i.e. 3.0 lbs, and
not to exceed the MAX line on the frying basket.
1 Press the PROGRAM button to switch among the pre-set functions
2 The LCD will display the preset temperature value according to the
chosen figure.
3 You can adjust the time and temperature settings according to your
own personal preferences (see pages 14 and 15).
4 Press ON/OFF to start preheating the oil. The HEATING indicator will
blink on the control panel display and the yellow heating light will
illiminate during the preheating cycle.
5 Your oil is preheated when the READY indicator displays and 5
beeps sound.
6 Lower your basket with food into the Fryer and press the on/off
button to start the Timer. The display will change to a countdown
timer and the control panel display will show a blinking COOKING.
The yellow heating light will cycle on and off during cooking to
maintain the set temperature.
7 At the end of the cooking cycle you will hear five beeps and the
Deep Fryer’s thermostat will turn off and display the previously
selected temperature.
8 Place the basket into the basket clip which will allow the excess oil to
drain from the food for a minute or two. Do not leave the cooked
food in the basket in the draining position for more than five minutes
or it may lose its crispness and become soft.
You can adjust the Time in PROGRAM mode during the cooking
process to suit your personal preference. While the COOKING indicator
is blinking and the Time is displayed, press +/– to adjust the time up or
down. You cannot change the Temperature once the COOKING
indicator is blinking.
You can stop the frying process at any time by pressing on/off to cancel
the program and manually set the Time/Temp as outlined on Pages 1 4
and 15.
Note: Every time you switch on the Deep Fryer, the Programs will revert
back to the default setting. The following are the default settings for the
Programs:
French Fries (crinkle cut) 375° F 7 minutes
