2. Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons.

• Read all instructions before operating the deep fryer.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or the deep fryer unit in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact customer service for examination, repair, or adjustment.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
• Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "off", then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
• Ensure the oil level is between the MIN and MAX marks inside the oil container. Overfilling can cause oil to overflow, and underfilling can lead to overheating.
• Always ensure the cool-touch sides are not obstructed during operation to prevent accidental burns.

4. Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
2. Clean: Before first use, wash the frying basket and lid in warm, soapy water. Wipe the exterior of the fryer with a damp cloth. Ensure all parts are completely dry before assembly.
3. Placement: Place the deep fryer on a stable, heat-resistant, and dry surface, away from water sources and flammable materials. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
4. Add Oil: Pour cooking oil into the oil container. Ensure the oil level is between the MIN and MAX fill lines marked inside the container. Do not overfill or underfill. The capacity is 1.5 liters (1.6 quarts).
5. Assemble: Place the frying basket into the oil container. Ensure the handle is securely attached and positioned for easy lifting. Close the lid.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Plug In: Connect the power cord to a standard electrical outlet. The power indicator light may illuminate.
2. Set Temperature: Turn the temperature control dial to your desired frying temperature (e.g., 350°F for most foods). The heating indicator light will turn on, indicating the fryer is heating the oil.
3. Preheat: Allow the oil to preheat. The heating indicator light will turn off when the set temperature is reached. This may take several minutes.
4. Load Food: Carefully place food into the frying basket. Do not overload the basket, as this can lower oil temperature and result in soggy food. For best results, fry in small batches.
5. Lower Basket: Slowly lower the frying basket into the hot oil. Close the lid.
6. Fry: Fry food for the recommended time, checking through the viewing window if necessary. The heating indicator light will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature.
7. Remove Food: Once food is cooked to your preference, carefully lift the frying basket out of the oil. Allow excess oil to drain back into the fryer.
8. Serve: Transfer fried food to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any remaining oil.
9. Turn Off: After use, turn the temperature control dial to the "OFF" position and unplug the fryer from the wall outlet.
