Fryer User Manual
3.   Pour cooking oil into Oil Reservoir until it reaches between the "MIN" 
and "MAX" marks on the inside of the reservoir. DO NOT OVER OR   
UNDER FILL.
4.   Make sure that fryer is off and insert plug into 120 volt AC outlet.
5.    Turn fryer to desired temperature position. The Power Indicator will 
illuminate. The Ready Indicator will illuminate when the oil has reached 
the preset temperature.
6.    Using your slotted spoon, place food inside the fryer (Do not over stack 
food). Close Lid until it snaps into place. Overloading will lower the oil 
temperature, causing food to absorb too much oil and cook improperly.
7.    For cooking times, see chart on page 8, or use the recommended times in 
your recipe.
8.    As your food fries, open lid and stir slowly with slotted spoon or other 
heat-resistant utensil to prevent foods from sticking together.
9.    Once the food reaches desired brownness, using your spoon, lift and drain. 
Set the drained food on several layers of paper towels to absorb excess oil. 
Season if desired. To fry more servings, repeat steps 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
WARNING: DO NOT USE THE DETACHABLE MAGNETIC CORD SYSTEM TO 
DISCONNECT THE FRYER. ALWAYS DISCONNECT PLUG FROM
WALL OUTLET FIRST TO DISCONNECT FRYER.
Use only Model JB-168 magnetic cord set with this product. The use of any other 
magnetic cord set may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
CAUTION: The detachable magnetic cord is only for accidental disconnection 
and not to be removed during normal operation. If the cord becomes 
disconnected, the user should immediately unplug the cord set from 
the wall outlet, then reconnect the magnetic cord to the deep fryer 
and then to the wall outlet.
  CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING: ALWAYS TURN CONTROL TO “OFF” THEN DISCONNECT PLUG 
FROM WALL OUTLET BEFORE DISCONNECTING MAGNETIC CORD.
CAUTION:
•     Do not immerse cord sets in water or any liquid.
•     Do not attempt to defeat the detachable magnetic cord system by trying 
to permanently attach cord set to product.
•     Do not stick pins or other sharp objects in holes on magnetic cord set.
•     Do not use any type of steel wool to clean magnetic contacts.
1.    Turn unit OFF.
2.    Unplug from outlet and allow unit to cool completely.
3.    Remove magnetic cord from the fryer socket.
4.    When unit has cooled, empty cooking oil. If you plan to reuse the oil, store 
fryer with lid closed. (See TIPS FOR OIL USE AND STORAGE on page 10.)
5.    When changing the oil, take the opportunity to clean the inside of the 
fryer. Remove LID, pour out oil and discard properly; wipe the inside with 
paper towels to absorb excess grease. Wash interior of fryer with hot soapy 
water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use scouring pads or abrasive 
kitchen cleaners.
CAUTION: Never immerse the fryer in water, or wash in running water.
NOTE: A REMOVABLE CONDENSATION TRAY is located on the back of the fryer 
under the lid. The CONDENSATION TRAY will collect any water that has condensed
on the inside of the LID when the LID is opened after frying. Remember to 
empty and clean the CONDENSATION TRAY after each use. To remove 
condensation tray, remove lid and lift out condensation tray. To clean simply 
rinse with warm water. 
TO REMOVE AND REPLACE LID
•     To remove lid, depress OPEN LID BUTTON and lift LID 
to a vertical position. Remove LID by pulling firmly 
upwards (See Figure 2). Reverse the sequence to 
secure lid back into position. Be sure to push down 
firmly on lid from the vertical position to secure back 
in place.
