MAGNETIC CONNECTOR
The cord is equipped with a detachable magnetic connector. The magnetic
connector should be attached directly to the fryer. THIS SHOULD BE DONE
PRIOR TO PLUGGING THE CORD INTO THE WALL OUTLET.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (meaning one blade is wider than the other one).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized
outlet in one direction. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, DO NOT attempt to modify the plug in any way.
BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Remove all packaging.
2. Fold down the Handle of the Removable Basket until it locks. Then remove from
the Deep fryer body.
3. Remove the Control Panel and Removable Enamel Oil Tank by lifting them vertically.
4. It is recommended to wash the Removable Oil Tank and The Basket with warm
soapy water before first use. NEVER immerse the Control Panel and Heating
Element into water or any other liquids.
5. After washing, make sure the Removable Enamel Oil Tank and the Basket are
completely dry in order to avoid any splatter of oil.
6. Do not scour the Oil Tank. Please use a soft non-abrasive cloth to dry thoroughly.
USING THE DEEP FRYER
A. PREPARING FOOD
1. Whatever the recipe used, the food must be dry to avoid overflowing and to make the
oil or fat last longer.
2. Clean and cut the food to be fried.
3. Place uniform sized pieces of food in the Basket to ensure even frying.
NOTE: Never fill the Basket with more than 2/3 of food. It is suggested a maximum
of 1/2 full in order to maintain the best selected frying temperature.

4. French Fries: Peel the potatoes and cut into uniform sized pieces to prevent them
from sticking. Dry the cut potatoes thoroughly.
5. Frozen Foods: Remove the ice and thaw the food thoroughly.
6. If the foods to be fried have been pre-cooked, they require a higher temperature and
less cooking time than foods that are completely raw.
NOTE:
The volume of oil can be adjusted according to the food to be fried.
Use only good quality vegetable oil, pure corn oil or light olive oil for frying. It is not
recommended to use oil that deteriorates quickly.
Do not mix different kind of oils for frying.
Never fill the Oil Tank beyond the max line. Overfilling could cause a danger of
spillage and potential fire.
Never fill the Removable Oil Tank below the MIN. line.
B. INTRODUCING THE OIL OR FAT
Always use oil and fats which can withstand high temperature.
If using blocks of fat, cut them into pieces before placing them in the Oil Tank.
Never attempt to melt fat in the basket.
C. COOKING
1. Place the deep fryer on a heat-resistant surface.
2. Make sure the Temperature Control Switch is in ”0 ”position.
3. Remove the Basket out of the Deep Fryer prior to adding the oil.
4. Dry the Deep Fryer thoroughly before use.
5. Put oil or hard fat into the Enamel Oil Tank (the oil level must always be between the
Max and Min level marked on the inside wall of the Oil Tank).
6. Put back the Control Panel to the original position.
Note: The Control Panel has a built-in safety switch to protect it if the Control Panel is
removed from the body of Deep Fryer. The Control Panel must sit into position
properly, otherwise the Deep Fryer will not work.
7. Carefully close the Lid.
8. Connect the main plug into the main supply. Turn on the ON / OFF Switch and the
Red Power Indicator Light will illuminate.
9. Set the Temperature Control Switch to 375 ℉(the Temperature Indicator light will
illuminate). Melting the fat requires roughly 10 minutes.
10. After the oil is hot, adjust the Temperature Control Switch to the desired temperature
depending on what you are going to cook.
11. When the desired temperature is reached, the Green Indicator Light will switch off
(approx. 5-7 minutes later).
12. Open the lid. www.ginnys.com
Page 5
13. Hang the Basket to the Body of Deep Fryer.
14. Place the food into the Basket.
15. Place the Basket containing food into the Oil Tank gently, watching the oil level and
foam in order to keep them from reaching the fringe of the Oil Tank.
16. Close the Lid. When the food is cooked, turn the Temperature Control Switch
counter-clockwise to the “ 0 ” position.
NOTE:
Wipe a little oil on the inner side of the Viewing Glass with a clean cloth or
cotton paper to prevent water from condensing on the glass.
Do not overfill the Basket. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and make
the food greasy.
Do not keep the oil at high temperature for long periods. This will make it lose
its properties.
Set the Temperature Control Switch to the lowest temperature while waiting
between batches.
Do not leave the cooked food in the Basket or above the Oil Tank for draining
for too long. The vapors could cause the food to lose its crispness and go soft.
Frozen food can be cooked after it has been completely thawed, otherwise the
oil will overflow when cooking.
17. The Indicator Light goes off.
18. Open the Lid and then hang the Basket on the Deep Fryer Body and leaving the
food in the Basket above the Oil Tank for 10-30 seconds.
19. Remove the main plug from the main supply. The Power Indicator Light goes off.
20. The used oil or fat with the Basket can be stored in the Oil Tank with the Lid closed.
21. Do not move the Deep Fryer until it is entirely cool.
IMPORTANT:
When cooking, the Temperature Control Switch will heat or stop heating according to
the set temperature; the Temperature indicator light will turn on and off. This is
normal.
Replace the oil after reusing for approximately 20 times or if the oil becomes thick or
brown.
CAUTION : THE SURFACE OF THE LID BECOMES HOT WHILE HEATING.

Note : Thermal Safety Switch
A thermal safety switch automatically cuts off the power to the Deep Fryer in case of
accidental overheating as the result of incorrect use of the Deep Fryer (no oil, or
insufficient oil or failure to comply with the instructions for melting fat), or as the result
of some kind of functional failure of the Deep Fryer (for example: defective
thermostat).
If the Deep Fryer is used incorrectly, and after allowing the Deep Fryer to cool down,
using a toothpick or similar object, all you need to do is press gently on the reset
button behind the Control Panel.
