Before calling for service, please make sure unit is installed and being used correctly, and read the troubleshooting
section.
WARNING: When using your appliance, follow the precautions listed below:
NOTE: Specifications may change at any time without notice.
1. Read all instructions.
2. This appliance is for household use only. It is not intended for outdoor or commercial applications. DO NOT
use appliance for other than intended use.
3. Before using, check that the voltage of wall outlet corresponds to the rating plate.
4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, try a different outlet or contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT
attempt to modify the plug in any way.
5. DO NOT turn the deep fryer on unless it is full of oil. ALWAYS ensure that it is filled with oil between the
minimum and maximum level marks on the inside of the Bowl.
6. WARNING: Avoid using the appliance for long periods, as this can result in the oil overheating, causing a
fire.
7. CAUTION: DO NOT add water to the oil. This is extremely dangerous and may cause the oil to splatter
out of the bowl.
8. CAUTION: DO NOT touch the hot oil.
9. DO NOT leave the appliance unattended while it is in use.
10. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
11. Some Parts of the appliance get very hot when in operation. DO NOT touch hot surfaces. Use caution when
unit is in use, and ALWAYS use handles or knobs.
12. ALWAYS set the temperature control to the lowest possible temperature, and unplug the fryer as soon as
you have finished cooking the food.
13. ALWAYS turn off and unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow unit to cool down
before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
14. To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs, or the whole unit in water or other liquid.
15. DO NOT operate the unit or handle the plug with wet hands.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DEEP FRYING
1. ALWAYS make sure the deep fryer is turned off when starting.
2. Pour the oil into the bowl so that the fill level falls between the “Min” and Max” marks.
NOTE: It is recommended to use liquid oil. Lard or solid fats can be used, but must be melted prior
to using by placing small pieces of it into the bowl and warming it on the lowest setting. Once it is fully
melted, you can set the control to the required cooking temperature.
3. Place the lid on the bowl.
4. Attach the magnetic cord and plug the fryer in; the red power indicator will light.
5. Set the desired temperature by turning the temperature control knob. The green heat indicator will light
and remain lit while the fryer is heating up. Once the unit reaches the set temperature, the green heat
indicator light will turn off.
NOTE: The heat indicator will turn on and off while the fryer is in use, as needed to maintain the
selected temperature.
6. DO NOT add food until the required temperature is reached.
7. Remove the lid and carefully lower the basket with the food into the bowl. Make sure the oil level does not
rise to the top of the bowl.
NOTE: ALWAYS hold the basket handle firmly when fitting or removing the lid.
CAUTION: When putting food into or removing it from the fryer, hot oil may splatter. Take care when
removing the lid, as hot steam may be released.
There is a non-auto resetting thermostat built in the product. If the deep fryer has been in use for a prolonged
time, the built-in thermostat will activate and cut off the current to protect the appliance from overheating.
Reset the thermostat by pushing the indicated button on the back of the control panel, after the heating element
has cooled down, to enable the deep fryer to function normally again.
AFTER COOKING
1. Carefully lift the basket out of the oil and use the clips to hang it on the front edge of the bowl.
CAUTION: Handle may be hot after extended use.
2. Allow the oil to drip from the food before removing from the basket.
3. Set the temperature control knob to the lowest setting and unplug from the outlet.
4. Allow the fryer to cool for at least 1-2 hours before emptying the oil, moving, or cleaning.
CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to move the deep fryer while it is hot.
FOOD PREPARATION TIPS
• ALWAYS make sure that the food is dry before lowering it into the hot oil.
• Ensure that the food is roughly the same size so that it cooks evenly. Avoid very thick pieces.
• Some types of food should be breaded before being cooked in the deep fat fryer.
• Make sure you remove as much ice as possible from frozen food. However, it does not need to be defrosted
before cooking.
• DO NOT fill the basket above the max mark on the metal plate under the handle.
