Before Using for the First Time Warning: Never plug in the control panel (#5) when it is not installed in the fryer body with heating element (#13) in the oil container. Do not immerse the control panel, cord or plug in water. Warning: This unit should not be used to boil water. Prior To First Use, Clean The Unit Thoroughly Warning: Always let the fryer cool completely for 2 hours before taking it apart for cleaning.
2. Filling the Stainless Steel Container With Oil Warning: Never plug in the Deep Fryer before filling with oil to specified level. Always make sure control panel (#5) is securely in place in the body (#1) and the heating element (#13) is inside the oil in the container before plugging in. • Use blended vegetable oil, pure corn oil or canola (rapeseed) oil. Do not use olive oil, margarine, lard or drippings. • The oil level must always be maintained between the minimum (15 cups/3.
3. Installing the “Control Panel With the Heating Element (#5)” Into its Place • Lift up the “Control Panel with Heating Element” (#5). • Slide the “Guide Edges” on the Control Panel (#5) into the “Guide Rails” mounted on the metal body (#1). • Slide the “Guide Edges” down till the end.

4. Using the Deep Fryer Warning: Never plug in the Deep Fryer before filling with oil to specified level. Always make sure control panel (#5) is securely in place in the body (#1) and the heating element (#13) is inside the oil in the container before plugging in. Important: Ensure the control panel (#5) is fitted correctly to the main unit otherwise the unit will not function. This is not a defect. This product is fitted with a safety switch to prevent the unit from turning on accidentally.
Filling the Frying Basket • Do not fill the frying basket (#14) when it is immersed in oil. • Place the food in the frying basket (# 14). Do not overfill it and never exceed the maximum quantities. For optimum results and shorter frying time, basket should be only 1/2 full. • The basket has approximately 1 1/2 lbs. food capacity. It will hold 3-4 average size pieces of chicken. • Do not fill the basket higher than the “MAX” line on the basket with frozen food.
5. At the End of Cooking Warning: When you have finished frying, always turn the temperature setting dial (#8) to lowest position, turn “ON/OFF” switch to “OFF” position and unplug the deep fryer. To avoid personal injury or burns, do not touch any metal surfaces as they may be hot. • Set temperature setting dial (#8) to lowest position, (turn fully counter-clockwise.) • Turn “On/Off” switch (#6) to “Off” position. • Unplug the main cord from the wall socket.
6. Frying Tips • Do not mix different oils or new and old oil together. • 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.
7. FILTERING & CHANGING THE OIL • Make sure the deep fryer is unplugged and the oil has cooled before cleaning or storing the deep fryer. • 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.
9. Cleaning Instructions Warning: Always remove the plug from the wall socket before cleaning. Allow the deep fryer and the oil to cool completely (approximately 2 hours) before cleaning. Never immerse the control panel (#5), cord or plug in water or any other liquid. • Follow the cleaning instructions in section 1 (“Before using for the First Time”). • Never immerse the control panel (#5), cord or plug in water or any other liquid. • Do not place the control panel (#5), cord or plug in the dishwasher.
