Before using for the first time Cleaning before the first use Clean the fryer to remove any foreign materials or dust. ^ Make sure the drain valve is closed. ^ Rinse the reservoir thoroughly with clean hot water. ^ Close the drain valve, raise the heating element, and dry the reservoir with a clean cloth. ^ Fill the reservoir with approximately 1 gallon (4 l) of water and add a small amount of dish soap. Make sure the water level is no higher than the maximum level marked on the rear of the reservoir.

Before frying, make sure the reservoir has been filled with enough frying oil (min: 3 qt.(3 l) - max: 4 qt. (4 l)). You cannot turn the control knob to "0" by turning the knob clockwise past 400 °F (200 °C). Only use oil or fat specifically for deep fryer use. Never mix different types of oils and fats.
Using the fryer Frying ^ Set the desired frying temperature (see table on next page). Once the temperature indicator light goes out the oil has reached temperature. Do not touch hot oil. Protect your hands by wearing oven mitts and emove hot food using the proper utensils. ^ Place the frying basket containing the food into the hot oil.

Using the fryer Frying tips – The oil must be hot enough to seal and cook the food quickly. If the temperature is too low, the food will absorb oil. Wait until the temperature indicator light goes out (which means the set temperature has been reached) before placing food into the fryer. – Do not fry too much food at once. This will lower the temperature of the oil long enough to cause the food to absorb oil. – Food should be as dry as possible since moisture can cause frothing.
Using the fryer After frying Turn off the fryer and let the oil cool. Filter the oil to remove impurities that can ignite. This will also extend the life of the oil. Filtering the oil: ^ Make sure that the under side of the fryer is accessible so the oil can be drained. ^ Let the oil cool to a safe temperature before draining to prevent burns. If the oil has solidified, melt it by briefly setting the fryer to 212 °F (100 °C) and then turning it off.
Using the fryer Safety cut-out feature The fryer is equipped with a safety cut-out feature that automatically shuts off the fryer when: How to reset the safety cut-out feature: ^ Turn the control knob to "0" and wait until the heating element has cooled. – the reservoir is not filled to the proper level. ^ Identify and correct the cause of the automatic safety cut-out. – the fryer is turned on when empty.
Cleaning and care Frying basket Never use a steam cleaner to clean this cooktop. Pressurized steam could cause permanent damage to the surface and to components for which the manufacturer cannot accept responsibility. Do not use any sharp or pointed objects which could damage the seal between the frame and the countertop. Never use scouring agents, pads, abrasive cleaning agents, or strong cleaners e.g. oven sprays, stain or rust removers, as these will damage the surface of the appliance.
Cleaning and care Reservoir ^ Make sure the fryer is off and the oil is cool before draining the reservoir for cleaning (see After Frying). Do not use stainless steel cleaners or conditioners in the reservoir. ^ Raise the heating element. ^ Remove large particles and sediment with paper towels. ^ Fill the reservoir with a solution of warm water and dish soap. Wash out the reservoir using a sponge or a soft non-scratching brush.
Cleaning and care Stainless steel frame Ceramic control panel Clean the stainless steel frame with hot water and liquid dish soap applied with a soft sponge. Wipe dry using a soft cloth. Clean the ceramic surface and control knob with a damp cloth only, and then wipe dry. The stainless steel frame can be cleaned using a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner for stainless steel can also be used. Apply sparingly with even pressure.
