USING THE DEEP FRYER
WARNING: Never plug in the deep fryer before filling the oil reservoir with oil. Always
make sure that the control panel is securely in place in the housing of the deep fryer and
that the heating element is inside the oil in the oil reservoir before plugging in.
1. Pour cooking oil into the oil reservoir making sure that it is between the “Min” and
“Max” filling lines in the oil container. Do not under fill or overfill. The oil levels
must be maintained between the minimum (2.5 liters) and the maximum levels (3.5

6
liters) marked inside the oil container.
2. You can use blended vegetable oil, corn oil, or canola oil. Do not use olive oil,
margarine, lard or drippings. Never mix old and new oil together or different oils and
fat.
3. If you want to use solid fat, you must melt it firstly, the details refer to the section of
“TIPS FOR USING SOLID FAT”.
4. Place the cover onto the deep fryer.
5. Insert the plug into the electrical wall outlet. The power light will illuminate.
CAUTION: Never plug in the control panel when it is not assembled to the fryer body.
Do not immerse the control panel, power cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
6. Turn the temperature control knob to the desired temperature.
7. The ready light will illuminate when the set temperature is reached.
8. Do not fill the frying basket when it is immersed in the hot oil. Place the food in the
frying basket. Do not drop the food into the hot cooking oil. Do not overfill it and the
maximum load is 250g. For optimum results and shorter frying time, fry smaller
quantities.
WARNING: When frying frozen foods, remove the frying basket from the deep fryer
before filling because oil will spatter and cause burns.
CAUTION: When frying frozen foods such as French Fries, you should not exceed the
“Max” fill line on the fryer basket. Clean off any ice from frozen food prior to frying.
Failure to do so may cause fryer to overflow when food is placed in oil.
9. Immerse the frying basket into the oil reservoir carefully so that you do not splash the
oil.
10. Replace the deep fryer lid on the deep fryer while it is frying.
11. When the cooking period is over, Turn the temperature control to the “OFF” position
and remove the plug from the electrical wall outlet.
12. Carefully remove the deep fryer lid lifting it up away from you to allow the steam to
escape before removing the lid completely. Keep your face away from the top of the
appliance to avoid burns caused by escaping steam.
13. Lift up the frying basket by the handle and place it on the oil container to allow the oil

7
to drain.
14. Once the oil has drained from the frying basket, the basket may be lifted off and the
food served or placed in a dish.
WARNING: Always let the deep fryer cool completely (approximately 2 hours)
before cleaning or storing. Never carry or move the appliance with hot oil inside.
CAUTION: The metal surfaces of the deep fryer become hot during use. Do not
touch the sides of the appliance while it is use.
FRYING TIPS
1. Always use the frying basket to fry food.
2. Always close the lid during frying. Replace the lid carefully.
3. When the oil is pre-heated, the ready indicator light will come on indicating that the
desired temperature is reached.
4. Slowly lower the frying basket into the hot oil. Lowering the frying basket too quickly
can result in the oil overflowing and splashing.
5. It is normal for steam to escape through the sides of the lid while frying.
6. Avoid standing too close to the deep fryer while it is working.
7. Do not mix new and old oil together.
8. Replace oil regularly. In general, oil will be tainted fast when frying food containing a
lot of protein, (such as poultry, meat and fish). When oil is used mainly to fry potatoes
and is filtered after each use, it can be used up to 8 to 10 times, but do not use the same
oil for more than 6 months.
9. Always replace all oil as soon as it starts foaming when heated or when color becomes
dark or when it has a rancid smell or taste or becomes syrupy.
10. Make sure that the food to be fried is dry. Remove loose ice from frozen food before
frying.
11. To cook evenly, pieces should be the same size and thickness. Thicker pieces will
take longer to cook.
12. The following cooking times reflect only the approximate time needed to fry one
basket 1/2 full. The exact time may be different depending on actual quantity,

8
personal cooking preferences, size and thickness of pieces, etc.

TIPS FOR USING SOLID FAT:
WARNING: Do not put solid shortening in the oil reservoir or the frying basket.
1. If using solid vegetable shortening, melt it first in a separate container and then very
carefully pour the melted fat into the oil reservoir.
2. Previously used solid vegetable shortening which has curdled and hardened in the oil
reservoir should be removed from the oil reservoir and melted in a separate pan before
reusing.
WARNING: If you try to melt the solidified fat in the oil reservoir, there is a risk of
hot melted fat suddenly sputtering from below through the solid top layer of fat.

9
Use only the following procedure
When melting solid fat in your deep fryer:
1. Make sure the fat is at room temperature. If the fat is cold, then there is a greater risk of
splashing.
2. Using a fork, carefully make some holes in the fat.
3. Make sure the lid is always securely closed while the fat is melting.
4. Set the temperature control knob to 150℃.
IMPORTANT: The power light will illuminate once plugging the power outlet. The
ready light will illuminate when the fat or oil in the reservoir has reached the selected
temperature.
FILTERING & CHANGING THE OIL
ATTENTION: Make sure the deep fryer is unplugged from the electrical socket and the
oil has cooled (approximately 2 hours) before changing the oil, or cleaning and storing
the deep fryer.
NOTE:The oil does not need to be changed after each use. In general, the oil will be
tainted rather quickly when frying food containing a lot of protein (such as poultry, meat
or fish). When oil is mainly used to fry potatoes and is filtered after each use, it can be
used 8 to 10 times. However, do not use the same oil for longer than 6 months.
To Filter the Oil:
1. Make sure the oil has cooled (approximately 2
hours) and then empty the oil from the oil reservoir
into another container or bottle. (Fig.3)
2. Wash and dry the oil reservoir and frying basket.
3. Refill the oil reservoir with the oil by pouring the
oil through a wire strainer or paper filter. (Fig. 4)
