3. Placement: Place the deep fryer on a stable, level, heat-resistant, and non-slip surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit and keep it away from walls, curtains, and other flammable materials. The PVC non-slip feet will help secure the unit.

   • Place the heating element assembly securely into its designated slot, ensuring it is properly seated.
   • Position the frying basket inside the oil tank.

4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your deep fryer.

1. Add Oil: Pour cooking oil into the removable oil tank. Ensure the oil level is between the MIN and MAX fill lines indicated inside the tank. Do not overfill.
2. Power On: Turn the on/off switch to the "ON" position. The power light will illuminate.
3. Set Temperature: Rotate the temperature knob to your desired frying temperature. The heating indicator light will turn on, indicating that the heating element is active. The temperature range is 60℃ - 200℃ (140℉ - 392℉).
