PAGE 1
Stainless Steel ProFry  immersion element deep fryer/steamer • Professional-style fryer in a convenient at-home size. • 1800-watt immersion element for fast heating, frying, and steaming. • Big 8-cup food capacity for frying family-size batches. • Removable heating element and enameled pot for easy cleaning. Estas instrucciones también están disponibles en español. Para obtener una copia impresa: • Descargue en formato PDF en www.GoPresto.com/espanol.
PAGE 2
Important Cord and Plug Information A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. DO NOT USE WITH AN EXTENSION CORD. Do not allow the cord to run underneath or around the unit. The magnetic cord may not detach easily if the cord is positioned in this fashion. Before First Use Become familiar with the various parts of the deep fryer (Fig. A1) and read the instructions carefully.
PAGE 3
u Never use the deep fryer without oil or with insufficient oil. Failure to fill fryer with oil to the minimum (MIN) fill u u u u u u u level will cause overheating and damage to the product. Also never exceed the maximum fill level. Using more than the maximum amount may cause the oil to boil over the top of the fryer. The minimum (MIN) and maximum (MAX) fill levels are embossed inside the removable pot (Fig. A1, page 2). Use vegetable oil for deep frying, such as corn, sunflower, peanut, or soybean.
PAGE 4
5. Attach the cord to the unit by aligning the magnetic plug end with the two electrical pins located on the back of the control unit (Fig. A2, page 2). The plug can be attached in either direction. Important: The magnetic cord was designed to detach easily from the fryer. As a result, if it is bumped or touched during use it could possibly detach causing the unit to stop heating. Avoid contact with cord during operation. If contact occurs, verify that the cord is still properly connected. 6.
PAGE 5
u When using fryer for the first time, a slight odor or light smoking may occur as manufacturing residue evaporates. This is normal during initial use. u Before deep frying, always remove excess moisture or ice crystals from food by patting it dry with toweling. Moist foods may cause excess foaming, spattering, and crackling. u Fry foods of equal size and thickness as they will fry more evenly and at the same speed. u Do not fill the basket more than ¾ full for most foods.
PAGE 6
Frying Timetable Do not use cover while frying french fries and other high moisture foods. For crisper foods, fry without the cover. The following times are approximate and based on the maximum recommended amounts of food. Fill the basket no more than 3⁄4 full for most foods.

PAGE 10
How To Use for Steaming and Boiling 1. Follow steps 1 through 3 on page 3. Note: To avoid steam damage to cabinets when using the steaming and boiling function, position the deep fryer so that it is not directly under cabinets. 2. For boiling, fill removable pot with water up to the MAX level marking, which is located on the inside of the removable pot (Fig. A1, page 2). Your fryer will need approximately 12 cups of water for boiling. Never exceed the MAX level mark.

If desired, the basket handle may be removed for cleaning. Squeeze the drain hooks and fold the handle into the basket until the handle bars are out of the brackets. Continue squeezing to remove both pegs from the bracket holes. After cleaning, reattach handle making sure both pegs are in the bracket holes and the handle bars are in the brackets (see Fig. D, page 3). Fold handle into basket for storage (see Fig. B1, page 3). Note: Your fryer has a grease filter in the cover.
