SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
1. A short, detachable power cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. WARNING: Do not use an extension cord with this product. Serious hot oil
burns may result from the Deep Fryer being pulled off a countertop. Do not
allow the cord to hang over the edge of the counter where it may be grabbed
by children or become entangled with the user.
POWER CORD SAFETY TIPS
1. Never pull or yank on the cord or the appliance.
2. To insert the plug, grasp it rmly and guide it into the outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the power cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any
are found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced, and the power
cord replaced. Please contact Chefman®Customer Support for assistance.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue
stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR
IF THE APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Remove the lid, then remove all parts from oil tank, including the removable
control unit with heating element. To remove control unit, lift it straight up.
Remove and discard any plastic bags, cardboard, or other packaging.
2. Wipe the lid and the control unit and heating element with a damp cloth
to remove any packing debris. Never put the lid or the control unit in the
dishwasher. Never immerse the removable control unit in water.
3. Wash the frying basket, divider, and the oil container and clean with soapy
water. NOTE: The handle comes off the frying basket for easy storage; be sure
it’s securely on before frying.
4. Dry all components thoroughly.
5. Reassemble the deep fryer, making sure the control unit is correctly positioned;
the fryer will not function otherwise. To attach the control unit to the base, align
the guides on the front of the control unit with the tracks on the base. Slide the
control unit down as far as it goes making sure guides are in the tracks.
6. Keep the lid on the fryer when it is not in use.
HOW TO FRY
1. Lift off the lid covering oil container and remove frying basket. Reattach handle
if necessary. To attach the handle, squeeze the metal bars together, then insert
the two prongs into the holes in the bracket on the basket. Be sure the bars are
inside the metal cuffs on the bracket.
2. Be sure the removable oil container is in the base and that the removable
control unit is properly positioned on the base.
3. Add enough oil to the oil container to reach between the MIN and MAX marks
inside the oil container. You'll need about 1 gallon of oil to reach the MAX ll line.
Do not over- or underll and do not use different oils. (We recommend using
liquid vegetable oil. If you must use a solid, like vegetable shortening, cut it into
small pieces and melt it in a separate pan before carefully adding it to the oil
container.)

4. With the frying basket outside of the unit, put the lid on the fryer.
Attach the breakaway cord to the back of the unit, then plug into outlet.
5. Turn the temperature control knob to the desired temperature and set the
timer to the desired time; the fryer will begin to heat. NOTE: For safety
reasons, the unit will not turn on until the timer is set. Once the timer is
set, the red POWER light will illuminate. Heating will not begin until the
temperature is set.
6. While the oil heats, the green HEATING light will remain lit. Once the set
temperature is reached, the green heating light will turn off. (Note that it
usually takes at least 10 minutes for oil to heat, so set the timer to account
for that as well as the frying time.)
7. If desired, put the divider in the basket. To do so, center one hook between
the two prongs of the basket handle and the other hook on the other side of
the basket. Press down on the divider until the divier's feet slide through slots
at the bottom of the basket and divider is securely hooked on basket.
8. Fill the frying basket with the food to be fried. NOTE: Do not overll the
basket and see Tips for infromation on frying with wet batters.
9. When the HEATING light turns off, remove the lid and carefully lower the
basket into the oil. WARNING: Oil may bubble and splatter. Please use caution
when lowering food into hot oil.
10. Put the lid back on over the basket. (You can view progress through the
window.)
11. Fry foods according to your recipe, or follow the suggested cooking times that
follow. If necessary, remove the lid to turn or ip food as directed or desired.
12. Remove the lid and use the frying basket handle to lift the frying basket above
the oil to check if food has reached the desired doneness. (If not, continue
cooking.) If the food is done, carefully lift and hang the basket on the oil
container using the hook. Allow any excess oil to drain off the food completely
before removing basket and serving food.

13. If you are frying more food in a second batch, adjust the oil level as needed
and repeat frying steps. IMPORTANT: When the timer reaches 0, heating is
automatically turned off. You can add more time as needed by simply turning
the knob.
14. When nished frying, unplug the deep fryer and allow the oil to cool
completely (about 3 hours). You may reuse the frying oil after cooling and
ltering it. See CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE for more information.

• Sort or cut foods so they’re the same size for even cooking.
• For french fries that are cooked through on the inside and crisp on the outside, fry
them twice. First at a lower temperature (around 300˚F) until cooked through (about
5 minutes). Remove from fryer, then refry at a higher temperature (around 375˚F).
• When cooking foods dipped in a loose batter, lower empty frying basket into hot oil.
Using tongs,
add food directly to oil. Use basket to lift out food when nished cooking.
• To reduce splattering, pat foods dry before frying.
• Do not overll the frying basket. This helps maintain temperature of oil for better
cooking results.
• Follow the instructions on frozen food packaging for cooking time and temperature.
Remove any ice crystals on frozen foods before frying to reduce splattering. Lower the
basket very slowly into the oil in order to ensure that oil does not boil over. Fry frozen
foods in small batches as their low temperature lowers the temperature of the oil.
• The same oil can be ltered once cooled and used over again. Once the oil has cooled,
line a sieve set over a bowl with cheesecloth. Grasp each side of the removable oil
container and lift upward. Pour the oil through the sieve to remove food particles,
crumbs, and impurities. Note that ltering is crucial for safety as impurities can increase
the risk of the oil catching re.
• DO NOT STORE THE OIL IN THE DEEP FRYER. Store used oil in a clean, airtight
container in a cool, dark place for up to a month.
• Discard oil that is clouded, starts to foam, or has a bad smell or taste. Do not pour
oil down the drain as it will clog pipes. The safest way to dispose of cooled oil is by
pouring it into a sealable container such as a coffee can or gallon milk jug, and then
throw the oil-lled container in the trash according to the local community regulations.
Used cooking oil can also be recycled in some areas.
