HOW TO OPERATE THE DEEP FRYER
NOTE: This type of fryer may only be used with oil or liquid fat and is not
suitable for use with unheated, solid fat. Solid fat may contain water, which
can cause hot fat to be sprayed out during heating.
Never switch on the deep fryer without oil or fat in the inner pot, as this could
damage the machine. Also, do not place any other liquids, such as water, or
other substances in the pan.
The deep fryer becomes hot during use. Do not place the deep fryer too close
to other objects that may melt or catch fire.
Remove the lid from the deep fryer and remove the accessories.
