Your Deep Fryer includes the following technology and

features:

•

Immersion heater for faster heating than conventional deep fryers.

•

Fryer Basket allows you to raise and lower the basket from the oil and keep

food warm without further cooking.

•

Folding FryerBasket Handle provides a safe way to

position and it will lock into

place. Lift out of the cooking pot, remove all accessories, power suppy cord

and printed documents from the basket.

•

The cooking pot is easily removed by lifting up on the left and right handles

built into the rim of the pot.

•

Clean the frying basket and cooking pot with

hot water , a small amount of

dishwashing liquid and a non-abrasive sponge or cleaning pad. These can

also be put intothe dishwasher for cleaning.

•

Clean the heater with hot water . Never immerse the control box in

Drythoroughly

, being careful not to bend wires leading to thermostat

in middle of heater coil.

•

Make sure the cooking pot is correctly positioned in the main body.

•

Remove frying basket and set aside.

•

Fill pot with oil. The oil level must be maintained between the minimum

andmaximum level marks indicated on the inside of the pot.

Checkthe

levelbefore each use and add oil if necessary

.

•

For healthier , crispier fried foods, we recommend you use a good quality

vegetableoil, pure corn oil, sunflower oil or canola oil.

•

Wipe inside of viewing window with a small amount of vegetable oil to help

prevent condensation which can obstruct your view through the window

while cooking.

•

Open the Lid by pressing the Lid Release Button located below the Control Box

and remove basket from deep fryer .

•

Place food in Basket. Do not fill more than 2/3 full from the bottom of the Basket.

•

Carefully place the Basket with food into the center recess of the Control Box,

leaving Handle in horizontal position - do not fold down to lower the Basket yet.

•

Close Lid and press it on each side of the Control Box to make sure the dual

locking tabs are secure. 

•

Attach the Magnetic Detachable Power Supply Cord to the receptacle at the

back of the fryer Main Body. The magnet block fits only one way

, so if it

does not hold in place, turn the block over and try again.

•

Plug the Cord into an outlet.

Slide the Adjustable Temperature Knob to the desired temperature. See

Cooking Guidesection for proper temperature selection.

•

Press Basket Lowering Button on the Folding Basket Handle and slowly

allow the Handle to fold down into the recess area of the Control Box. This

will lower the Basket of food into the hot oil and the frying will begin.

•

When desired cooking time has been reached, carefully raise the Handle

back into the horizontal position until it locks into place. This will raise the

frying Basket from the hot oil and will allow the excess oil to begin draining

off the food. 

•

When you wish to enjoy the food, press the Lid Release Button to open the Lid.

By pressing the Lid Release Button the unit will release hot steam

and de-pressurize the container . Extreme care should be used to ensure hands

completed frying, turn unit to OFF position by sliding the Adjustable

Temperature Knob all the way to the left and unplug the unit from the outlet.

Oil remains hot for a long time after use. Do not attempt to move

or carry the fryer while it is hot. Do not attempt to pour off oil from

cooking pot for storage until oil has cooled completely, usually 1 to 2 hours –

longer if lid is in closed position. 

•

Make sure the fryer is unplugged and the oil has cooled down before

cleaning or storing your fryer .

•

The oil does not need to be changed after each use. On average, oil can

beused for 8 to 12 uses. Y

ou will need to change it more often when

fryingfish or heavily battered foods.

•

We recommend filtering the oil if you see any food debris left in the oil

oron

the bottom of the pot. You may do this by performing the following:

•

Remove the basket. Carefully pour the clear oil into another large pot or

saucepan (minimum of 3 to 5 liters), 

leaving food debris in bottom of

cookingpot. Discard this small amount of oil with food debris. 

•

Prior to washing, wipe oil residue and food debris from cooking pot with

paper towels.

•

Wipe heater with dry paper towels until it is free from oily residue.

Take

caren

ot to bend thermostat wires on heater .

•

To clean the control box and heater

, use a damp dishcloth that has been

dipped in water and mild dish soap. Completely wipe down all parts of the

control box. Wipe off all residual dish soap with a damp cloth. Do not

reassemble the deep fryer until all the parts are thoroughly dry.

•

Clean the lid with built-in permanent filter , basket, bowl and the main body

withhot water

, a little dishwashing liquid and a sponge or put these parts

intothe dishwasher to clean. 

Place the bowl as vertically as possible in the dishwasher , while ensuring it

willnot hinder the spray arms. Dry thoroughly before reassembling all parts.

•

Do not store appliance that still contains oil in the oil tank or that

hasnot

been cleaned and dried thoroughly.
