• All components with the exception of
the electrical parts, can be washed in
warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly
before use.
• Always use basket handle to remove
the frying basket. Always make sure
the basket handle is securely attached

(Fig. 1)
• Lift the control panel up and remove
from the unit
• Remove the oil container.
• Clean the oil container and the frying
basket with hot water, dishwashing
liquid or other non-poisonous detergent
and non-abrasive sponge.
Warning: Never immerse the control
panel in water or any other liquids.
Caution: All components must be
completely dried before filling with oil
or using. Special care must be taken
to ensure the washable oil filter in the
lid is completely dry, otherwise the
filter will not function properly and may
lead to steam being trapped within the
fryer during use.
Warning: Never exceed "MAX" line when
filling the basket with food.
Using for the First Time
Warning:
Never attach the magnetic
power cord to the unit before the control
panel is inserted into the unit with the
heating element in the oil container. Do
not immerse the control panel, cord or
plug in water.
Note: When unpacking the unit, make
sure that you remove the oil container
from the deep fryer body and remove the
packaging material that is between the
main housing and the oil container.
Note: This unit should not be used to
boil water.
Warning: Always let the fryer cool
completely for 2 hours before taking it
apart for cleaning. Never carry or move
the Deep Fryer with hot oil inside. Before
cleaning, always make sure the plug is
not in the wall socket.
• Use blended vegetable oil, pure corn oil
or canola (rapeseed) oil. Do not use
olive oil, margarine, lard or drippings.
• The oil level must always be maintained
between the minimum (12 cups / 2.8
liters) and the maximum (8.4 quarts / 8
liters) levels marked inside the oil
container. Check the oil level before
each use. For best results, keep the oil
close to the maximum level. (Fig. 2)
• Never mix different oils and fats together.
Do not mix old and new oil.
Filling the Oil Container
Warning:
Never plug in the deep fryer
before filling with oil to specified level.
Always make sure control panel is

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Filling the Frying Baskets
Frying Food
Note
: When frying frozen food such as
French Fries, remove the frying basket
before filling with frozen food because oil
will spatter and may cause burns. You
should not fill the frying baskets more than
halfway. Remove any ice crystals from the
frozen food prior to frying. Failure to do so
may cause the oil in the deep fryer to
overflow when the food is placed in the oil.
• Always use the frying baskets to fry
food.
• When the oil is pre-heated, the ready
light will start flashing and turn green,
indicating that the desired temperature
is reached.
• Slowly lower the frying basket into the
hot oil. Lowering the frying basket too
quickly can result in the oil overflowing
and splashing.
• Replace the deep fryer cover carefully.
• It is normal for steam to escape through
the sides of the cover while frying.
• Avoid standing too close to the deep
fryer while it is working.
Warning: When opening the cover after
frying, lift up the cover slightly, then wait to
allow steam to escape before removing
the cover completely. Keep face away
from unit to avoid burns caused by
escaping steam.

MAX Line
• Select the appropriate fryer basket
for the task
• Do not fill the frying basket when it is
immersed in oil.
• Place the food in the frying basket.
Do not overfill it and never exceed
the maximum quantities. For
optimum results and shorter frying
times, basket should be only 1/2 full.
• Do not fill the baskets higher than the
MAX line on the basket with frozen
food. (Fig. 7) Warning: When frying foods, always
remove the frying basket from the deep
fryer before filling with food because oil
will spatter and cause burns. Be
especially cautious when frying frozen
foods.
Caution: When frying frozen foods such
as French Fries, you should not exceed
the max line on the fryer baskets. Clean
off any ice from frozen food prior to frying.
Failure to do so may cause fryer to
overflow when food is placed in oil.
• Push the On/Off button to shut the unit
off.
• The ready light will remain lit when the
unit is turned “Off”
• Unplug the main cord from the
electrical outlet.
• Lift up the cover slowly and wait to
allow steam to escape before removing
the cover completely.
• Lift up the frying basket by the handle.
Place it on the oil container and allow
the food to drain for a minute.
• Once the oil has drained from the
frying basket, the basket may be lifted
off and the food served.
Warning: Always let the deep fryer cool
completely (approximately 2 hours)
before cleaning or storing. Never carry
or move the deep fryer with hot oil inside.
