13. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into wall outlet. To
disconnect, turn any control to OFF position, then remove plug from wall outlet.
14. Oversized foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in the appliance as they
may cause a fire or risk of electrical shock.
15. A fire may occur if the appliance is covered or touching flammable material

20. Some countertop and table surfaces, such as Corian®, wood and / or laminates,
are not designed to withstand prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. It
is recommended by countertop manufacturers and Maxi-Matic that a hot pad or
trivet be placed under your Elite deep fryer to prevent possible damage to the
surface.

..RECOMMENDATIONS ..
1. Always place the deep fryer on a stable surface and keep all flammable materials
away from the unit during operation.
2. Make sure that the deep fryer is never near or on a switched-on stove or cooking
surface.
3. Before you use the deep fryer it must be filled with the required amount of oil or
fat. **Never use the deep fryer without oil or fat because this could damage the
unit.
4. Never move the deep fryer during use. The oil becomes very hot. Wait until
the unit and the oil has completely cooled down before moving.
5. This deep fryer is protected with a thermal safety device which switches the
machine off automatically if it over heats.
6. Never immerse the appliance in water.
7. Never leave the deep fryer unattended while in use.
8. Always ensure the safety of children if they are near the deep fryer.
9. If the deep fryer and/or cord are damaged, they must be repaired by a
professional service department. Do not try to repair the unit yourself or replace
the damaged cord. This requires special tools.
10. Be sure not to damage the heating element. (Do not bend or dent)
11. The electrical component is required with a safety heat switch, which ensures
that the heating element can only function when the element is correctly placed
on the fryer.
12. In the case of overheating, the thermal protective device will switch off the fryer
automatically. This device is a small red button found either on the underside of
the electrical component, or in the cord storage compartment. It can be re-
activated by pushing the button in again with a pointed object (e.g. a pen).
**Disconnect from power outlet before re-activating!
PREPARING YOUR FRYER ..
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME:
 Remove all printed documents and any other packaging materials.
 Pull out all removable parts and wash gently with hot water.
Do not immerse the power cord and Control Box Assembly & Heating Element
of the deep fryer into any liquids.
 Dry all parts thoroughly before assembling.
 Do not operate the fryer without enough oil in the oil tank.
 The Deep Fryer should always be placed on a flat and stable surface where the
power cord is out of reach from children and away from accidental entanglement.
Tips:
 When you fry several different kinds of food, always fry the food that uses the
lowest temperature setting first.
 Do not mix different types of oil for frying.
 Frying already pre-cooked foods may take less time to fry than completely raw
food.
 Replace the oil after each 10-15 uses; or earlier if the oil becomes brown and
thick.
