1. Important Safety Instructions
Please read all instructions carefully before using this appliance. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
- Always place the deep fryer on a stable, heat-resistant, and dry surface, away from the edge of the countertop.
- Do not immerse the control unit, heating element, or power cord in water or any other liquid.
- Ensure the magnetic power cord is securely attached to the fryer before plugging it into a power outlet. The magnetic cord is designed to detach easily if pulled, preventing the fryer from tipping over.

- Do not operate the fryer without oil or food, as this can trigger the overheat protection. If overheat protection is triggered, unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before pressing the RESET button located on the back of the control unit.
- Keep children and pets away from the appliance during operation and while it is cooling.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on any part of the fryer.
- Always unplug the appliance from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning.

- Set Timer: Use the timer dial to set the desired cooking time. The timer will alert you when the cooking cycle is complete.
- Remove Food: Once cooking is complete, carefully lift the frying basket and hook it onto the edge of the oil tank to allow excess oil to drain back into the fryer.
- Serve: Transfer fried food to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any remaining oil.
- Turn Off: When finished frying, turn both the temperature and timer dials to the "OFF" position and unplug the fryer from the wall outlet. Allow the oil to cool completely before handling.
