What You Need to Know About Safety Instructions Warning and Important Safety Instructions appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Common sense, caution and care must be exercised when installing, maintaining or operating this appliance. Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not understand.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. 2. This appliance is for household use only. Do not use outdoors. 3. Do not use this appliance for other than its intended use. 4. Before using for the first time, check if voltage indicated on the base of the appliance corresponds to the voltage on the electrical outlet. 5.
20. Do not switch on the deep fryer if it is not filled with oil or liquid fat. 21. Do not use an external timer or separate remote-control system for this appliance. 22. Only use oil or fat that does not foam and suitable for frying (see labels on the oil purchased). 23. The deep fryer must be filled with oil or fat between marks “MAX” and “MIN” inside the pot. Always ensure that the fryer is filled with sufficient oil or fat. 24.
Safety Thermal Cut-Out This unit is designed with a safety thermal cut-out switch. If the deep fryer overheats, the safety thermal cut-out switch will automatically discontinue the power to the heating element. This can happen if the fryer is not filled with sufficient oil or the solid frying fat is not melted in the fryer. In the case of solid fat, the heating element is not able to radiate the produced heat quickly enough. Frying with Solid Fat We recommend the use of frying oil or liquid frying fat.

Fill the dry and empty oil pot with oil or melted fat between marks “MAX” and “MIN” (see “Solid Frying Fat”). 5. Never mix different types of fat or oil. 6. Never mix new oil with used oil.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Frying 1. Switch on the fryer. 2. Set the thermostat to the desired temperature setting. 3. Within 10 to 15 minutes, the oil or fat will be heated to the selected temperature and the indicator light will turn off. 4. While the fryer is heating, the indicator light will turn on and off several times. The indicator light remains lit as long as the heating element is heating. If the light does not switch on and stays off, the oil or fat has reached the set temperature. 5.

Deep-Frozen Products Deep-frozen products (-61 to -64 F) will cool the oil or fat and therefore do not fry the food quickly enough to absorb much oil or fat. This can be prevented as follows: 1. Do not fry large quantities at once (see Table). 2. Allow the deep-frozen food to defrost at room temperature. Remove as much ice and water as possible before placing the food in the fryer. 3. Pre-heat the oil for at least 15 minutes. 4. Set the temperature specified in these instructions or on the food package. 5.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE Cleaning CAUTION: Oil or fat must be cooled to room temperature before removal and/or disposal. 1. Disconnect the plug from the electrical outlet. 2. Remove the lid and basket. Remove the oil pot from the fryer and pour out the oil or fat. 3. The control/heating element should never be immersed in water or cleaned under running water. These parts must be cleaned with a moist cloth if necessary. 4. Clean the lid, bowl and basket with mild dishwashing detergent in hot water.
