OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! This unit should not be used to boil water.
1. Place the Deep Fryer on a clean, dry, flat, heat-resistant surface such as a table
or counter top, approximately 2 feet from a standard 120V AC electrical outlet.
2. Remove lid and fry basket.
3. Be sure the oil tank is properly seated inside deep fryer body. Pour liquid cooking oil
(corn, vegetable, peanut, etc.) into the tank. Fill with oil to a level between
the M N and MAX marks.
NOTE: The minimum oil capacity is 2.5 liters (2.7 qt./86.4 oz.). The maximum oil capacity
is 3.0 liters (3.2 qt./104.2 oz.). (See Figure 4.)
WARNING: Under- or over-filling the oil tank may damage the Deep Fryer
and could result in serious personal injury.
4. To prevent condensation from fogging the viewing window on lid, use a paper towel
or napkin to spread a thin layer of cold cooking oil onto inside of viewing window.
5. Place the fry basket into oil tank. When cooking, the bottom of the fry basket will rest
on the heater coils.
6. Add the lid. The large cutout will fit over the heater coils. The double cutouts in the lid
will fit over the fry basket handle.
7. Turn the ON/OFF temperature control dial to OFF.
8. Connect the detachable power cord into the appliance receptacle,
with the “TH S S DE UP” topside. (See Figure 5.) Make sure the cord is firmly in place.
Then connect the polarized plug to the wall outlet. The red POWER light will illuminate.
CAUTION: Do not let the cord hang over the edge of table or counter.
9. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired cooking temperature.
See the Cooking Chart for suggested temperatures and cooking times.
The blue WORK NG light will illuminate as the Deep Fryer heats the oil.
When the oil reaches the selected cooking temperature, the blue WORK NG light
will turn OFF indicating the Deep Fryer is ready for use.
NOTE: Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the oil to preheat.
NOTE: Oil may make a “popping” sound inside the Deep Fryer as the oil heats.
This is normal.
10. Remove lid and set aside. Wearing an oven mitt, grasp the fry basket handle
and lift fry basket out of the oil. Carefully rest the fry basket on the back of the oil tank.
CAUTION: Do not touch any interior parts of the Deep Fryer or the oil during use
as they are hot!
WARNING! Be careful around hot parts and hot spitting oil. Remember that the oil
is actually hotter than boiling water! Never put hands in the oil. Always keep hands
and face away from rising steam or spitting oil.
11. Carefully place food into the fry basket, being careful not to touch the fry basket
as it may be hot. Do not overfill fry basket with food.
NOTE: Maximum food frying capacity is 1.0 Kg./2.2 lb. at one time. The fry basket
should never be more than 2/3 full of food to be fried.

and the blue WORK NG light will cycle on and off as proper cooking temperature
of the oil is maintained. See the Cooking Chart for sample cooking times
and temperatures.
14. Allow foods to cook. Gently move the basket from side to side once or twice during
cooking to encourage even browning on all sides. Check the food’s cooking progress
through the viewing window.

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.
15. Remove lid and turn food as needed. When food is cooked to desired doneness,
using oven mitts, grasp fry basket handle and lift fry basket out of the oil. Carefully rest
the fry basket on the back of the oil tank. Allow cooked foods to drain for 5-10 seconds.
NOTE: To prevent early degradation of the oil, do not add salt or other spices to the food
during frying or when the food is draining above the oil.
16. Use the fry basket handle to lift up and remove fry basket containing food.
DO NOT touch fry basket wires as they are very hot!
17. Use a heat-resistant long-handled fork or tongs to remove cooked food or pour cooked
foods from fry basket onto absorbent paper towels to soak up excess oil.
18. Replace fry basket into the oil. Replace lid, allow unit to reheat to desired temperature
and continue to deep fry another batch of food, if desired.

HELPFUL HINTS
Frying
• Never over-ll the fry basket with food. Maximum basket capacity is 2/3 full,
1.0 Kg./2.2 lb.
• Fry more batches of smaller amounts of food. Best results are obtained when the hot oil
can freely circulate all around the food.
• n general, pre-cooked foods require higher temperatures and less cooking time.
• Cut or sort food into uniform sizes. Cook same-size pieces together so they will be cooked
in the same amount of time.
• Be sure foods are free from ice crystals and excess moisture before frying.
Water on the surface of the food can cause the oil to spatter and foam.
• When using a breading, evenly coat the food to be fried. Fine, uniform crumbs stick
better than coarse, uneven ones. Shake off all extra breading to help keep oil clean.
• To prevent contamination of the oil, do not add salt or other spices to the food
during frying or when the food is draining above the oil.
• Space coated foods so they do not touch while cooking.
• For best results when frying doughs or foods dipped in a liquid batter, place the foods
into the basket rst and then lower the fry basket into the hot oil.
• Always use the fry basket to lift food out of the oil; hook the basket to the rim
and allow oil to drain. Then remove fried food from the fry basket.
Oil
WARNING! Never, un er any circumstances, a water or any other liqui to the oil.
• Never over-ll or under-ll the fryer with oil. The minimum oil capacity is 2.5 liters
(2.7 qt./86.4 oz.). The maximum oil capacity is 3.0 liters (3.2 qt./104.2 oz.).
Both the M N and MAX oil levels are marked on the inside of the tank.
WARNING: Under- or over-lling the oil tank may damage the Deep Fryer
and could result in serious personal injury.
• Always use sunower oil, vegetable oil or corn oil. Never use hard fats, olive oil
or oil with a high water content.
• Never mix different oils together to fry foods.
• Never use butter or margarine to fry foods.
• When frying sh or seafood, the oil may absorb a "shy" taste or odor.
To eliminate transferring this "shy" taste or odor to other foods,
we suggest changing the oil before frying other foods.
Draining and Recycling Oil
WARNING! Be careful aroun hot parts an hot spitting oil. Remember that the oil
is actually hotter than boiling water! Never put han s in the oil. Always keep han s
an face away from rising steam or spitting oil.
• Oil should be ltered regularly.
• DO NOT pour oil from the Deep Fryer without rst removing fry basket, control
panel/heater assembly and tank from the Deep Fryer body.
NOTE: DO NOT pour used oil down any household drain. Discard used oil
into a container with a lid and dispose in garbage.
• Filter the cooled oil through a ne sieve into a wide-neck, airtight, covered container.
f necessary, use a funnel to avoid oil spillage.
NOTE: A coffee lter or piece of clean cotton material can be placed in a colander
and used to lter used oil.
• As oil will absorb food avors and odors, it's a good idea to label the container
with the type of food the oil was used to cook in. For example: desserts, chicken, sh, etc.
• Store oil in the refrigerator until next use.

COOKING CHART
WARNING! ALWAYS USE A MEAT THERMOMETER TO ENSURE THAT MEAT AND FISH
ARE COOKED THOROUGHLY BEFORE EATING.
The following chart is intended as a guide only. The quantity of food fried at one time
may alter the total cooking time necessary. Remember, frying smaller batches will result
in better cooking times and a higher food quality. Adjust cooking temperature and cooking time
as necessary to your taste.
PLEASE NOTE: The USDA recommends that meats such as beef and lamb, etc.
should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145º F/63º C. Pork should be cooked
to an internal temperature of 160º F/71º C and poultry products should be cooked
to an internal temperature of 170º F/77º C - 180º F/82º C to be sure any harmful bacteria
has been killed. When reheating meat/poultry products, they should also be cooked
to an internal temperature of 165º F/74º C.
NOTE: Frozen foods may require different cooking times and temperatures;
follow package directions. Use 375º F/191º C for all foods that have package instructions
for a higher temperature and adjust times as necessary.
IMPORTANT: Remove ice crystals from frozen foods before placing in the hot oil.
CAUTION: NEVER ll the fry basket more than 2/3 full.
