This appliance is equipped with 2
detachable magnetic, 3-prong grounding
plugs. These are safety features to reduce
the risk of electrical shock. Each magnetic
plug should be attached to the appliance
before connecting to an electrical outlet.
This plug is designed to attach to the
appliance only 1 way. Check the plug for
the printing “this side up” before attach-
ing to the appliance. Separate outlets
and circuits should be used for each
plug to avoid tripping circuit breakers.
Outlets must be properly installed and
grounded. If you have any questions about
the grounding or electrical instructions,
contact a qualied electrician. DO NOT
attempt to modify the plug in any way.
Montgomery Ward cannot accept any li-
ability for damage or injury resulting from
failure to observe these safety procedures.

How to Use How to Use (cont.)
WARNINGS:
• Be sure handles are properly assembled to baskets and locked into place.
• Always ll oil betweeen MIN and MAX ll marks in oil tanks.
• Remove as much moisture from food as possible. Remove any excess water
from food by blotting with a paper towel. Excess water or ice particles can
cause hot oil to splatter or foam.
• DO NOT add water or ice to oil.
• Always fry with lids in place. DO NOT block vents.
• DO NOT use refrigerated oil.
• Beware of hot steam emitting from vents and open lids carefully.
• DO NOT operate deep fryers for more than 60 minutes in a 2-hour period.
1. Place housing on a stable, at surface. Insert tanks into housing.
2. Align grooves of heating element assemblies with grooves on housing. Push
down on each heating element assembly to connect.
3. Assemble the handles to the baskets:
a. Squeeze tines of handle together. Align tines with round holes on
bracket inside basket.
b. Release tines to allow them to spread. Pull handle back to lock.
7. Place the basket(s) down into the oil and cover with lid(s).
8. Set the temperature control(s) to desired setting and set the TIMER to 20
minutes. Preheat oil until the READY light goes out (10 to 15 minutes).
9. When oil is ready, remove the lid(s). Gently lower food to be fried into the hot
oil and replace lid(s).
10. Reset the TIMER(s) to desired cooking time between 1–30 minutes (rotate past
10 minutes and then to desired frying time).
11. When time has expired, the TIMER(s) will automatically shut off. Carefully
remove lid(s), raise basket(s) and hook over tank(s) to drain.
NOTE: DO NOT allow condensation to drain into oil when removing lid(s).
.
12. Carefully empty food from basket(s) and place in a bowl, colander, or tray
lined with paper towel.
13. Replace basket(s) in oil, add lid(s) and set the TIMER(s). Wait for oil to come
back up to temperature (READY light will go out). When oil is ready, reset the
TIMER(s) to desired cooking time and continue frying.
14. When nished frying, cover oil with lid(s), turn OFF and unplug the cord(s)
from the electrical outlet(s).
15. Oil may take several hours to cool. DO NOT attempt to move or clean the
housing, tanks or heating elements until oil is completely cooled.
ab
4. Fill the tank(s) with oil between the MIN/MAX markings.
5. Make sure the fryers are set to OFF and attach the magnetic end of cord(s) to
fryer socket(s) on the back of the heating element assemby(ies). The
magnetic end attaches only 1 way — look for “this side up” on the plug.
6. If both sides of the fryer will be used at once, plug the cords into separate
electrical outlets on separate electrical circuits. Be careful not to disturb the
magnetic connection(s) when plugging cord(s) into electrical outlet(s).
