Pre-Heat Indicator Light to the far right of the Light Bar .
When the desired temperature is reached, the Pre-Heat Indicator Light on
the far right side will turn OFF , the Power Light will remain ON
as long as
the unit is plugged in and is functioning.
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.
Warning:
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
and face are clear of the appliance when hot steam is released.
Take out the Basket and place the food on dishes 
(or first place on paper towel
to help absorb any excess oil that may remain on the outside of the food).
Warning: 
The Basket is very hot. Only carry the Basket using the Basket
Handle. Do not touch the hot metal.
If you wish to fry another batch of food, repeat the above steps. If you have
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.
Warning: 
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.

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
