Operating Instructions

  1. Set Temperature: Turn the thermostat knob to your desired frying temperature, ranging from 275°F to 375°F. The red indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the unit is heating.

  3. Load Food: Place food items into the frying basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; fry in small batches to maintain optimal oil temperature and ensure even cooking.
  4. Lower Basket: Carefully lower the frying basket into the hot oil. Close the lid to prevent splatters and utilize the viewing window to monitor the cooking process.
  5. Fry: Fry food until it reaches the desired crispness and golden-brown color. Cooking times will vary based on the type and quantity of food.
  6. Drain: Once cooked, carefully lift the frying basket and hook it onto the side of the deep fryer to allow excess oil to drain back into the tank.
  7. Serve: Transfer fried food to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any remaining oil.
  8. Turn Off: After use, turn the thermostat knob to the 'OFF' position and unplug the deep fryer from the electrical outlet.
