This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will t into the polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not properly t into the outlet at rst, reverse it. If it still does
not t, contact a qualied electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from
becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be
used if care is exercised in their use.
The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least that of the appliance.
If the electrical rating of the extension cord is too low, it could overheat and burn.
The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

• Unpack the appliance and its accessories (food basket, trivet, barrel pan, pie pan).
Wash the removable parts (food basket, trivet, barrel pan, pie pan) in hot, soapy
water and then wipe them dry. Wipe the interior of the frying cavity with a damp cloth
or sponge, and then dry with a paper towel. Make sure that the cavity is dry before
operating the unit.
• Position the Emeril™ Smart Fryer Pro on a at, level, and heat-resistant surface,
making sure that it is also positioned at least 4 inches away from any surrounding
objects.
• It is recommended to let the Smart Fryer heat for about 20 minutes without any food
in it. This helps to eliminate grease that may have adhered during manufacturing and
to eliminate the “new” appliance smell.
• Ventilate the room during this period. When your Smart Fryer is heated for the rst
time, it may emit slight smoke or odor. This is normal with many heating appliances.
This does not affect the safety of your Smart Fryer.
Note: When moving the Smart Fryer, make sure that you hold it securely. Support the
base—do not rely on the food basket handle when moving the fryer!

1. Preparing for use
• Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal and level surface. Make sure that the
surface is heat resistant and that the Smart Fryer is also positioned at least 4
inches away from any surrounding objects.
• Make sure that the trivet (10) is securely placed inside the basket (4) This part is
necessary to ensure a proper air circulation all around the food.
• Insert the power plug into a wall socket. Your Smart Fryer is now ready for use!
Caution!
• Do not ll the food basket with oil or any other liquid, as this may cause a
re hazard!
• Never use the Smart Fryer without the food basket in place.
• Keep all ingredients in the basket to prevent any contact with the
appliance’s heating elements. Do not overll the food basket!
• Do not cover the air inlet on the top or the air outlet on the back while the
appliance is in use.
• Do not touch the inside of the appliance while it is operating.
• Never immerse the unit’s housing in water or rinse it under the tap!
2. Using the appliance
The Smart Fryer can be used to prepare a large variety of foods. Please refer to
the table in the section “Settings” hereinafter for basic cooking times, or refer to the
included recipes.
• Pulling the handle (5), carefully remove the food basket (4) out of the Emeril™
Smart Fryer Pro (6).
• Put the ingredients that you will be air-frying into the food basket (4) on top of the
trivet (10).
Note: Never ll the basket to capacity or exceed the recommended amount (see
section ‘Settings’ in this chapter), as this could affect the quality of the cooking.
• Slide the basket back into the Emeril™ Smart Fryer Pro.
Caution! Never attempt to use the Smart Fryer without the food basket
in it!
Caution! Do not touch the food basket, or the inside of the Smart Fryer
during and immediately after use, as they get very hot. Only hold the
food basket by its handle. Always use oven mitts. Unit is hot!
• Turn the temperature control dial (1) to the required cooking temperature (See
section’ Settings’ in this chapter to determine the right temperature).
• Determine the required preparation time for the ingredients (see section ‘Settings’
after this chapter).
• To switch the appliance on, turn the timer knob (2) to the required preparation time
• The green power-on light and the orange “Heating-up” light (3) will turn on and the

Operating Instructions

AFTER SALES SUPPORT
Emeril™Smart Fryer Pro
REFERENCE: EML FT 43724
[email protected]
• The timer will start counting down the set time.
• During the hot air frying process, the orange “heating-up” light will turn on and
off from time to time. This indicates that the heating element is maintaining the set
temperature. The orange light will turn off when this temperature is reached.
• During cooking, some excess oil and cooking juices from the ingredients will
collect in the basket. This is normal.
• Some recipes require a shaking of the food in the basket halfway through the
set time (see section ’Settings’ in this chapter). To shake the ingredients, pull the
basket out of the appliance using the handle and gently, but rmly, shake it. Slide
the basket back into the Smart Fryer and continue to cook.
Note: Because the rapid hot air technology instantly reheats the air inside of the
appliance, pulling the basket briey out of the appliance during hot air frying will
barely disturb the cooking process.
Tip: Sometimes, it is easier to divide cooking times into 2 phases for recipes
that require the basket to be shaken mid-cooking. If you set the timer to half the
required cooking time, you will hear the timer bell go off when you have to shake
the ingredients. Please note that after shaking, you must set the timer again to the
remaining preparation time.
Tip: If you set the timer to the full cooking time, the timer bell will not go off until
cooking is completed. You can pull the basket out at any time to check the cooking
condition of the ingredients. The power will shut down automatically and resume
after you slide the basket back into the appliance. Note that the timer does not stop
counting down in this situation.
• When you hear the timer bell, the set preparation time has elapsed. Using oven
mitts and the handle (5), pull the basket out of the appliance and place it on a heat-
resistant surface.
Note: You can also switch the appliance off at any time. To do this, set the timer to
“0”.
• Check to see if the ingredients are ready. If they are not ready, simply slide the
basket back into the appliance and set the timer for a few extra minutes.
Caution! After hot airfrying, the basket, the accessories and the ingredients will
be hot! Depending on the type of the ingredients in the Smart Fryer, steam may
escape out of the unit. Be mindful of scalding and wear kitchen gloves for safety.
• To remove the trivet from the food basket, wait for it to completely cool down and
simply lift it up from the basket using the handle at the center of it.

Emeril™Smart Fryer Pro

[email protected]
Caution! Always rest the basket on a at, level, and heat
resistant surface! The basket contains hot juices and fats after
cooking, and might otherwise tip or fall, and spill the hot liquid
on the user. Risk of severe scalding!
• Holding the basket by the handle, empty the air-fried food into a bowl or onto a
plate.
Note: The trivet is maintained rmly in place by its silicone pads. Please make sure
your trivet is intact and with its 4 silicone pads for optimal performance.
Tip: To remove large or fragile ingredients, you may use a pair of tongs to lift the
ingredients out of the basket. Use tongs or utensils with heat-resistant plastic tips,
as metallic tips or utensils may scratch the coating of the basket.
• When a batch of food is ready, the Smart Fryer is instantly ready for preparing
another batch.
Settings
The table below will help you select the basic settings for the ingredients you want to
prepare.
Note: Keep in mind that these settings are suggestions.
Tips
• Any food that can be prepared in a traditional oven can also be prepared in the
Smart Fryer.
• Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger
ingredients.
• A larger quantity of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time; a
smaller amount of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.
• Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimizes the
• end result and can help prevent unevenly air-fried food.
• As a precaution non- stick cooking spray can be added to the pan to avoid sticking.
• Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the
• Smart Fryer within a few minutes after adding the oil to them.
• Do not prepare extremely greasy or fatty ingredients, such as sausages, in the
Smart Fryer as the grease could catch re.
• For optimal results, use only up to 1.5 lbs of sliced potatoes to ensure crispy fries.
• Use pre-made dough to prepare lled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough
also requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
• Place a baking tin or oven-compatible dish in the Smart Fryer basket if you want to
bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry fragile or lled ingredients.
• You can also use the Smart Fryer to reheat food. To reheat ingredients, set the
temperature to 290° F for up to 10 minutes.
• Please see enclosed Emeril™ recipes for some great ideas.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause Solution
The Smart Fryer
does not work.
1. The appliance is not plugged in.
2. You have not set the timer.
3. The basket is not properly locked.
1. Plug the power cord into an electrical wall
socket.
2. Turn the timer knob to the required
preparation time to switch on the appliance.
3. Push the basket back in the Smart Fryer
properly.
The ingredients
fried with the Smart
Fryer are not cooked
thoroughly.
1. There is too much food in the
basket.
2. The set temperature is too low.
3. The preparation time is too short.
1. Put smaller batches of ingredients in
the basket. Smaller batches are fried more
evenly.
2. Turn the temperature control knob to the
required temperature setting (see section
‘settings’ in chapter ‘Using the appliance’).
3. Turn the timer knob to the required
preparation time (see section ‘Settings’ in
chapter’ Using the appliance’).
Fried snacks are
not crispy when
they come out of the
Smart Fryer.
You used a type of snack meant to
be prepared in a traditional deep
fryer.
Use snacks made to be prepared in the
oven, or lightly brush some oil onto the
snacks for a crispier result.
I cannot slide the
basket into the
appliance properly.
1. There is too much food in the
basket.
1. Do not ll the basket to capacity; refer
to the “Setting” table above for maximum
quantities.
White smoke comes
out of the appliance.
1. You are preparing greasy
ingredients.
2. The pan still contains grease
residue from previous use.
1. When you fry greasy ingredients in
the Smart Fryer, a large amount of oil will
leak into the bottom of the basket. The oil
produces white smoke and the pan may
heat up more than usual.This does not
affect the appliance or the end result.
2. White smoke is caused by grease
heating up in the basket, make sure you
clean the pan properly after each use.
French fries are
fried unevenly in the
Smart Fryer.
1. You did not use the right type of
potato.
2. You did not rinse the potato sticks
properly before you fried them.
1. Use fresh potatoes and make sure they
stay rm during frying.
2. Rinse the potato sticks properly to
remove starch from the outside of the
sticks.
French fries are not
crispy when they
come out of the
Smart Fryer.
The crispiness of the fries depends
on the amount of oil and water in
the fries.
• Make sure you dry the potato sticks
properly before you add the oil.
• Cut the potatoes into thinner sticks for a
crispier result.
• Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.
