7. Cover with Lid: Place the lid on top of the oil container when the fryer is not in use to prevent dust accumulation.

Operating Instructions

1. Fill with Oil: Pour cooking oil into the removable oil container. Do not exceed the maximum fill line (Recommended Maximum Oil Capacity: 12L / 26.5 Lbs).
2. Connect Power: Ensure the fryer is properly assembled and placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Plug the power cord into a 120V/1800W compatible electrical outlet.
3. Turn On: Flip the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position. The green Power indicator light will illuminate.
4. Set Temperature: Rotate the temperature control dial to your desired frying temperature. The orange Heating indicator light will turn on, indicating the oil is heating. The German-made EGO Thermostat ensures precise temperature control within 7 degrees.
5. Preheat: Allow the oil to preheat to the set temperature. This typically takes 12-25 minutes depending on the oil volume and desired temperature. The Heating light will turn off once the target temperature is reached.
6. Frying: Carefully place food into the frying basket and slowly lower it into the hot oil. Do not overload the basket to maintain oil temperature and ensure even cooking.
7. Monitor Cooking: Fry food until it reaches the desired crispness and color.
8. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, lift the basket and hook it onto the side of the oil container to allow excess oil to drain back into the tank.
9. Serve: Carefully remove the fried food from the basket and serve.
10. Turn Off: When finished frying, turn the temperature dial to the "MIN" position and flip the ON/OFF switch to "OFF". Unplug the appliance from the power outlet.
