BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using for the first time
CLEAN -Prior to using your new deep fryer, wash the basket
and lid with a sponge or dishcloth in hot soapy water. Rinse
thoroughly and dry.
The interior pot should be cleaned with a damp sponge or
dishcloth (Do not immerse cord, plug or deep fryer in water).
For your protection: A short cord is provided to reduce the
hazards resulting from becoming entangled or tripping over a
longer cord. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, it must
be rated no less than the electrical rating of this appliance.
Longerdetachablepowersupplycordsorextensioncordsmay
be used if care is exercised in their use.
The Deep Fryer has a polarized plug as a safety feature to
reduce the risk of shock. The plug on this appliance has one
blade that is wider then the other, the plug is intended to fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If it does not fit properly into the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to change the plug in any way.

HOW TO USE
1. Fill the inner pot with proper amount of oil. Be sure the
oil level is between the min. and max. lines imprinted on
the inside of the inner pot.
2. We recommend the following oils for healthier deep
frying: corn, canola, or blended vegetable oil. These oils
are cholesterol-free and low in saturated fats.
3. We do not recommend using peanut oil, soy oil, sunflower
oil, lard and drippings that may deteriorate more quickly
when heated as well as olive oil and other heavy flavored
oils
4. Pre-heat the oil in the deep-fryer and be sure the oil level
is between the min. and max. lines. Plug into a wall-outlet
and the indicator light will come on. Model (ADF-122A
& ADF-122AN) should be set at (375?F/190?C); other
models are automatically set at this temperature. When
the unit has reached the frying temperature the indicator
light will go out.
Note: The light may come on and off indicating
the temperature is being maintained.
5. Clip the handle on to the basket. Be sure it fits securely.
6. Place food in the frying basket. Be sure not to overfill the
basket, as this may cause food to not cook properly.
Always shake frozen foods to remove ice particles prior
to frying. Fresh-cut french fries and other damp foods
must be dried before frying.
7. Slowly lower the frying basket into the oil, then remove
the handle from the basket.
8. When frying is complete, re-attach the handle to the
basket. The basket has been designed to rest on the edge
of the inner pot. This allows excess oil to drain from food
for healthier meals.
9. Unplug the deep fryer and allow the fryer to completely

cool.

CHANGING THE OIL
The oil does not need to be changed after each use. We
recommend changing the oil after approximately 8 to 10 uses
but sooner when frying fish or heavily battered foods.
STORING THE OIL
1. Be sure the fryer has completely cooled and is
unplugged prior to storing the oil and the deep fryer.
2. Before storing the oil, be sure to filter out any food
particles that may be left in the oil.
3. To filter -pour the oil into a container, then wipe
the inner pot with a paper towel to remove any food
particles. Place paper filter in the frying basket and
pour the oil through the paper filter back into the fryer or
another container.
4. The oil may be stored in the fryer at room
temperature (only if the fryer is used on a regular
basis) or you may store the oil in a separate
container in the fridge.

the body of the fryer with a damp cloth and let dry.

until meat is brown, allowing 30 -35 seconds for rare, 45
seconds for medium and about 60 seconds for well-done.

When cooked, remove forks and transfer to plate and serve
