heated oven.
16. Extreme caution must e used when moving an appliance
containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
17. It is not always recommended to place the lid on the deep fryer

BEFORE USE
• Remove all packaging from the unit.
• Remove the lid, asket, handle and any accessory from the
appliance.
• Before you use the deep fryer for the first time, we recommend
that you clean the lid, owl, asket, handle and housing of the
deep fryer with warm soapy water with a soft cloth.
DISASSEMBLING THE DEEP FRYER
• Put aside the asket and lid
• Remove the control panel from the appliance. To do this, gently
pull the control panel upwards until it is released.
• Take the interior owl with your two hands and pull it up gently.
ASSEMBLING THE DEEP FRYER
• Stand the appliance on a dry horizontal surface.
• Place the owl ack in the housing and push it downwards.
• Replace the control panel and the accessories. To replace the
control panel, gently slide the control panel downward into the
location grooves on the ack of the housing until it is locked.
NOTE: The appliance will only operate when the control panel is
correctly fitted into the outer jacket. A safety switch (on the front of
the control ox) prevents the function if the control panel is not
assem led correctly.
• Insert the pins of the asket handle into the 2 slots in the asket,
and then unfold the handle of the asket until it is locked, to
make raising the asket easy.
FIRST USE
• When using the appliance for the first time, pour the required
amount of oil in the owl, making sure that the level is etween
the MIN and MAX marks indicated inside the owl.
• We recommend that you use liquid oil that is suita le for deep
frying. Check the la el on the ottle.
• If you wish to use a solid fat, cut the fat in small pieces. Plug in the
appliance, set the thermostat on the lowest temperature setting
and add the fat pieces slowly. When the fat has melted, set the

thermostat to the desired temperature. Warning: failure to
o serve this will damage your deep fryer.
USE
• Before plugging in your appliance, always make sure that the oil
is at least at the minimum marking on the inside of the enameled
tank. Failure to fill the tank with oil, to at least the minimum, will
result in overheating and triggering the safety thermostat (see
elow for details). Your fryer will hold 3.2L / 3.3qt of oil at the
minimum oil mark and 3.8L / 4.0 qt of oil at the maximum mark.
• Attach the magnetic cord to the appliance and plug it into the
electric wall outlet. Use care to position the magnetic plug
correctly (the plug indicates which side needs to e up)
• Set the thermostat to the desired temperature. The power light
(POWER) (3) and the temperature pilot light (HEAT) (4) will
illuminate. As soon as the desired temperature is reached, the
temperature pilot light HEAT (4) will go out.
Note: the green HEAT light (4) will cycle from green to off as the
thermostat cycles to maintain the correct oil temperature.
• Allow the oil to come to temperature efore placing any food in
the oil.
• Place the food in the fry asket. Do not overload the asket to
avoid lowering the temperature of the oil too much. Also
overloading can cause a oil over. As a rule, do not fill the fry
asket more than ½ full, or 1 ½” to 2” from the ottom of the
asket.
• Once the oil is at the correct temperature and the HEAT light is
off, slowly lower the fry asket(s) into the oil.
• You can place the lid on the unit during cooking, or leave it off.
Note: Do not put the lid on the deep fryer when frying French fries or
high moisture foods.
• When the food is ready, remove the lid if put on, raise the asket
y lifting the handle and let the food drain its excess oil, y
hanging the asket using the drain support hook (9) located at
the ack of the fry asket.

• After the excess oil has drained, remove the asket and turn the
food out onto a paper towel-lined aking sheet, to allow the
remaining oil to drain away.
• Ensure the food is thoroughly cooked inside and out.
• Your deep fryer does not have a separate ON/OFF switch. After
use, turn the thermostat to its “MIN” position and unplug the
appliance. Never move or store the appliance as long as the oil
or fat is still hot. Do not expose to excessively cold temperatures
when oil is still hot.
CAUTION:
• Use only metal utensils when deep frying. Plastic or ru er utensils
will e ruined from the hot oil. Do not leave metal utensils sitting in
the hot oil.
• Always use caution when frying to prevent severe personal injury,
fire, scalding, etc… Never leave unattended when in use. Always
use caution around children.
• Steam will escape from vents in lid. Do not place your hand over
the vents. When removing lid, always open towards the ack of
the unit to allow steam to escape away from you.
• To reduce the risk of oil overflow or spatter, lower the asket
slowly into the oil. Should oil egin to foam and rise in the oil tank,
lift the asket up and allow the oil to lower, and the egin
lowering food slowly into the oil again, until foaming stops.
FOR BEST RESULTS
• Always dry food well efore frying. Very ‘wet’ food can cause the
oil to ‘foam’ and hot oil may overflow.
• Do not use the lid for frying French fries or food with high moisture
content.
• French fries are est when fried in 2 stages (see Time and
Temperature ta le)
• Food for frying should e roughly of the same size to ensure the
food cooks evenly and thoroughly.
• Many types of food may need to e coated efore frying -
typical coatings are atter or readcrum s.
• Always wait until the fryer has reached the desired temperature
and the pilot light has gone out, efore adding the food.

• Do not overfill the asket.
• If you are frying more than one load, please give the oil a
chance to heat up to the proper temperature (HEAT light will turn
from green to off) efore placing another load in the oil.
• It is important to replace the oil if you notice any of the following:
1. Unpleasant odor to the oil
2. Excessive smoking when heating the oil
3. Oil is dark in color
4. The oil has een stored for a long period of time
• Frying food that has a atter or coating will require changing the
oil more often.
• When re-using oil, it is recommended that you strain the oil to
remove food particles. Use a mesh strainer over a owl to
separate the food particles from the oil. For est results, you can
line the strainer with 2 layers of cheesecloth. Once the oil is
strained, keep in the refrigerator or return the oil to the oil tank.
SECURITY THERMOSTAT
CAUTION: This fryer has a uilt-in security thermostat that switches the
unit off if it accidentally overheats (e.g. temperature control fails to
function.) Overheating can also happen if the oil is too old or too
thick, if there is not enough oil in the tank (or if there is no oil).
To reset the security thermostat after a cut-off:
• Turn the unit off y turning the temperature control to “MIN”,
unplug from the wall outlet and remove the magnetic cord.
• Allow the unit to cool.
• Remove the control panel from the tank.
• Using a small screwdriver or toothpick, press the reset utton on
the left at the ack of the control ox.
• Correct the oil situation y changing the oil if too old, or adding
oil if not enough in the tank.
• Reassem le the unit and resume cooking.
Your deep fryer is now ready to use. To make sure this does not
happen again, please read the instruction manual thoroughly.
