Getting to Know Your Deep Fryer
Before using your Deep Fryer for the rst time, you should become familiar
with all of the parts. Read all Instructions and Safeguards carefully.
7
Preparing to Use
Prior to rst use, remove all packaging materials from the exterior
and interior of the fryer. Make sure the fryer is unplugged. Wash the
Frying Basket and removable Oil Reservoir in hot soapy water. Gently
wipe the Heating Element with a damp cloth. Dry all parts thoroughly.
See CARE AND CLEANING section.
CAUTION: Do not immerse cord, plugs or control panel assembly in water.
Baskets handle assembly instructions:
1. Remove Handle and Frying Basket from inside the deep fryer.
2. Squeeze the handle prongs in the middle.
3. Release the prongs into the eyelets on the interior side of the basket.
4. Press rmly down on the handle to lock in place.
Tips for deep frying:
• Fill the unit with oil between the maximum and minimum capacity lines only.
• Do not over ll the basket. To achieve quality results deep frying food
needs to be surrounded by oil. Too much food causes the oil temperature
to drop, resulting in “soggy” food. Food should be no higher than the
top of the basket.
• Be sure that all ice crystals are removed from the food and food is
completely dry. Excessive water and ice can cause the oil to splatter
and/or overow.
• Coated foods (bread crumbs, batters, etc.) are best for deep frying. The
coating acts as a protective layer keeping food moist on the inside and
crisp on the outside.
• For best results, defrost frozen foods for 20 minutes prior to frying.
• Fry foods at the correct temperature for best results. This will prevent
burning and give you even colored, crispy food.
• Prepackaged frozen, cooked chicken, may cook faster than uncooked food.
• For even cooking, shake basket half way through cooking time.
Using your deep fryer:
NOTE: Never turn on the fryer with an empty Oil Reservoir. Always use
your fryer on a at, heat resistant surface.
• Attach magnetic end of Sure Release power cord assembly directly to
the fryer. This should be done prior to plugging the cord into the wall
outlet. The magnetic end of the cord is designed only to go on one way.
Be sure the side stating “THIS SIDE UP” is facing up.
• Remove Frying Basket by pulling the Basket Handle up.
• Make sure the Oil Reservoir is seated in place. Pour cooking oil into
8
Preparing to Use cont.
Oil Reservoir until it reaches between “MIN” and “MAX” marks inside
reservoir. DO NOT OVER OR UNDER FILL.
• Make sure that fryer is OFF and insert plug into 120 volt AC outlet.
• Turn fryer to desired temperature position.
• Power Light will turn on.
• Ready light will turn on when oil is pre-heated. Remove the lid and
place Frying Basket onto basket hook inside Oil Reservoir.
• Place food inside Frying Basket (Do not over stack food). Lower Frying
Basket into Oil Reservoir. CAUTION: Always replace Lid after immersing
food in oil.
• Open Lid, then lift Frying Basket by handle and pour contents onto
plate covered with paper towels before serving.
• When nished cooking, make sure fryer is in OFF position.

WALL OUTLET FIRST TO DISCONNECT FRYER.
Use only Model #LT-512 magnetic cord set with this product. The use of
any other magnetic cord set may cause re, electric shock, or injury.
CAUTION: The Sure Release Power Cord is only for accidental
disconnection and is not to be removed during normal operation. If the
cord becomes disconnected, the user should immediately unplug the
cord set from the wall outlet, then reconnect the magnetic cord to the
deep fryer.
Care and cleaning:
WARNING: Always turn control to OFF then disconnect plug from wall
outlet.
REMOVE CORD FROM FRYER.

WARNING: Do not remove Oil Reservoir until the unit has cooled and is
unplugged.
• The Basket, Lid, Oil Reservoir and Housing are dishwasher safe. Dry all
parts thoroughly after cleaning.
• The Control Panel should never be immersed in water or other liquids.
Gently clean the outer surface of the Control Panel with a damp cloth

Odor Filter, then replace Filter Cover.

Frying Time and Temperature
The frying times in this chart are a guide and should be adjusted to suit
the different quantities or thickness of food and to suit your own taste.
Preheat time is 7–10 minutes for fryer to reach desired temperature.
(Ready light will cycle On/Off during frying as temperature uctuates due
to food load.)
NOTE: Prepackaged frozen cooked chicken may cook faster than above time.
Tips for oil use and storage:
• Do not use seasoned or avored oil such as walnut, olive oil, lard
or drippings because they have a low smoke point. Use blended
vegetable oil, pure corn oil, sunower oil, soybean oil or grape seed oil
(canola oil) because these oils have a high smoke point. Peanut oil is
not recommended because it impacts the avor greatly.
• Oils should never be mixed when deep frying.
• High heat, water and burnt food particles break down the oil’s smoke
point.
• Replace oil if you notice:
• Excessive smoking at normal temperatures
- Strong oil discoloration
- A rancid smell
- Excessive foaming around the frying food
• Oil darkens with use because the oil and food molecules burn when
subjected to high/prolonged heat. The more you use an oil, the more
slowly it will pour. Its viscosity changes because of changes to the oil’s
molecular structure. When smoke appears on the oils’ surface before
the temperature reaches 375°F/190°C, your oil will no longer deep-fry
11
Frying Time and Temperature cont
effectively.
• When frying foods with strong avor and/or aroma like sh or chicken,
use the oil only once.
• Filtering the oil with a cooking oil lter or ne-mesh strainer can keep it
fresher. Although storing oil in a refrigerator may extend the life of the
oil, this should never be done. This process of chilling oil then bringing
the oil to room temperature causes excessive splattering during the
heat up process.
• Store the covered oil in a cool dark place, for up to three months. Check
the oil before using for color, smell, or excessive foaming. Discard the
oil if it shows any of these qualities.
Reset the Over Heat protection button:
Resetting the Overheat Protection Reset Button may be necessary
if unit will not turn on at start up (power indicator light illuminated and
temperature dial set to selected temperature) or if unit appears to have
stopped working during use.
1. Unplug the unit from the wall electrical outlet.
2. Allow the unit to cool down.
3. Check the oil level in your unit. If it is below the minimum level, oil
should be added before resetting the unit and resuming cooking cycle.
4. Remove the control box with heater.
5. Using a narrow slotted screwdriver or pen, gently press the recessed
reset button on the back of the control box, located on the right hand
side as indicated by the arrow
(see gure 1).
