Instructions For Use
1. Press in on Lid Release Button. Spring-
loaded Lid will rise on its own.
2. Lift Basket up and out of Tank. Set
aside.
3. Be sure Oil Tank is properly seated
inside Deep Fryer Body and pour liquid
cooking oil (corn, vegetable, peanut,
etc.) into the Tank. Fill with oil to a level
between the MIN and MAX markings.
See Figure 4. DO NOT under fill or over
fill Tank.
4. To prevent condensation from fogging
Viewing Window, use a paper towel or
napkin to spread a thin layer of cold
cooking oil onto inside of Viewing
Window.
5. Replace Basket into Oil Tank. When
cooking, the bottom of the Basket will
“rest” on the Heater Coils.
6. Close Lid. Pull up gently on the Lid to
be sure it is securely locked.
7. Remove the Detachable Power Cord
from the Cord Storage area at the back
of the Control Panel/Heater Assembly.
Connect the Detachable Power Cord into
the Appliance Receptacle with the white
dot facing up. See Figure 5. Make sure
the ON/OFF switch is in the “OFF”
position, then connect the Polarized
Plug to a standard 120V AC electrical
outlet.
8. Press the ON/OFF switch to “ON.” The
Green "Power On" Light will turn on as
soon as the unit is receiving power.
9. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the
desired cooking temperature. See Figure

as the Deep Fryer begins heating the
oil. When the oil reaches the selected
cooking temperature, the Red “Heating”
Light turns off and the Deep Fryer is
ready for use.
NOTE: There is a Safety Limiter Switch (red
button) located in the Cord Storage area
that prevents the oil from overheating. The
Safety Limiter Switch will be triggered if
there is insufficient oil in the Oil Tank and
power to the unit will be shut off. Allow oil
and appliance to cool thoroughly. Make
sure the proper amount of oil is in the Oil
Tank then press the Safety Limiter Switch
to reset. See Figure 7.
NOTE: Oil may make a “popping” sound
inside the Deep Fryer as the oil heats. This is
normal.

the Lid. Grasp Basket Handle and lift the
Basket out of the hot oil. Carefully hang
the Basket on the hook inside the Oil
Tank. See Figure 8.

the Deep Fryer or the oil during use as they
are hot!

being careful not to touch the Basket as
it may be hot. Do not overfill Basket
with food. Grasp Basket Handle and
carefully lower Basket with food into the
hot oil. Close the Lid.
WARNING: This appliance generates heat
and escaping steam during use. Use proper
precautions to prevent the risk of burns,
fire, or other injury to persons or damage to

As the Deep Fryer cooks the food and
the temperature of the oil decreases,
the Heating Coils and the Red “Heating”
Light will turn on as necessary to
maintain the proper cooking
temperature of the oil. See “Cooking
Chart” for sample cooking time and
temperatures.
12. Allow foods to cook. See "Cooking
Chart" for more information. Look
through Viewing Window to see food
cooking or to determine when food is
cooked. DO NOT RAISE LID DURING
COOKING! Hot oil could spatter out of
the Deep Fryer causing burns or other
injuries.
WARNING: Use caution when opening Lid,
steam escapes as soon as the Lid is
opened. Use oven mitts when handling hot
materials.
