4. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your Vexon Deep Fryer before first use:

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
2. Clean: Wash the removable oil tank, frying baskets, and lid with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth.
3. Assemble: Place the removable oil tank securely into the main fryer unit. Ensure the heating element is correctly positioned and connected to the control box. The control box must be properly seated on the main housing.
4. Add Oil: Pour cooking oil into the removable tank. Ensure the oil level is between the MIN and MAX fill lines indicated inside the tank. Do not overfill or underfill.
5. Connect Power: Ensure the micro-switch on the front of the control box is activated. Plug the power cord into a correct power socket. The red indicator light will illuminate.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the fryer is set up and filled with oil, you can begin frying:

1. Set Temperature: Turn the temperature control knob to your desired frying temperature. The green indicator light will illuminate when the oil reaches the set temperature and will cycle on and off during frying to maintain the temperature.
2. Preheat: Allow the oil to preheat to the set temperature. This typically takes several minutes, indicated by the green light.
3. Prepare Food: Ensure food items are dry before placing them in the frying baskets. Excess moisture can cause oil to splatter.
4. Load Baskets: Place food into the frying baskets. Do not overload the baskets, as this can lower oil temperature and result in soggy food.
5. Lower Baskets: Carefully lower the baskets into the hot oil. Use the insulated handles for safety.
6. Fry: Close the lid to minimize splattering and odors. Monitor the cooking process through the viewing window.
7. Remove Food: Once food is cooked to your preference, carefully lift the baskets and hook them onto the side of the fryer to allow excess oil to drain.
8. Serve: Transfer fried food to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any remaining oil.
