during use.
3) If a longer cord is used please note the following:
-The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top of
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
…POLARIZED PLUG …
If this appliance has a polarized plug (meaning one blade is wider than the other
one), please follow the below instructions:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet
only in one direction. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in
any way.
MAGNETIC PLUG: This appliance is supplied with a magnetic plug that attaches to
the back of the appliance. This is to reduce injury caused by accidental tangling of
the power cords. The magnetic plug will detach to reduce spillage of hot oil.

…RECIPES ……
BATTER VARIETY:
The following are a few quick recipes for different kinds of batter to use with a variety
of foods to fry up in the deep fryer for a delicious meal.
Beer Batter:
Mix together 1 ½ cups of flour and 1 ½ cups of any kind of beer in a large mixing
bowl. Cover the bowl after mixing and allow the batter to sit at room temperature for
approximately 3 hours. When ready to fry, dip desired food into the batter and follow
the directions for frying battered foods in this booklet.
Egg Batter:
Combine 2 egg yolks, ¾ cup of flour, 1-½ teaspoons of vegetable oil, ½ teaspoon of
salt and 1 cup of milk. Mix thoroughly. Add more milk if desired to adjust the density
of the mixture. When ready to fry, dip desired food into the batter and follow the
directions for frying battered foods in this booklet.
Egg Coating:
Combine 2 whole eggs with 1-½ teaspoons of vegetable and a pinch of salt and
pepper to taste. When ready to fry, dip desired food into the mixture and follow the
directions for frying foods in this booklet.
Extra Crispy Coating:
Beat together ½ cup milk and one whole egg in a small mixing bowl. In a separate
bowl, mix together ½ cup of flour and any of your favorite seasonings such as salt,
pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, etc. When read to fry, dip desired food into the
wet mixture first, then dip into the dry flour mixture. Then follow the directions for
frying foods in this booklet.
Bread Crumb Coating:
Beat together 1 ½ teaspoons of vegetable oil and 2 egg yolks in a small mixing bowl.
IN a separate bowl, mix together ½ cup of bread crumbs, 1/3 cup of flour plus any of
your favorite seasonings such as salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, etc. When
read to fry, dip desired food into the wet mixture first, then dip into the dry bread
crumb mixture. Then follow the directions for frying foods in this booklet.
TIPS FOR FRYING FOOD WITH BATTER COATING:
Make sure food is always sliced thinly and evenly. This helps the food
to be fried evenly.
Shake off any excess flour or bread crumb coating to prevent any
clumps to form when frying.
If you wish to use the basket when frying foods coated with batter, it is
recommended to lower the basket into the hot oil first and then gently
and carefully place battered foods into the oil directly. This will prevent
the batter from catching and sticking to the wiring of the basket.
Never fill the basket more than 2/3 full. In order to cook evenly, the food
needs space for the frying oil to fry each side.
