Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and stickers from the deep fryer.
2. Clean: Wash the frying basket, removable lid, and oil pot with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before assembly. Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth.
3. Assemble: Ensure the oil pot is correctly seated within the main unit. Attach the cool-touch handle to the frying basket securely. Place the heating element assembly into its designated slot.
4. Placement: Position the deep fryer on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from walls and flammable materials. Ensure adequate ventilation.
5. Fill with Oil: Pour cooking oil into the oil pot. Ensure the oil level is between the MIN and MAX fill lines indicated inside the pot. Do not overfill or underfill.

Operating Instructions

1. Connect Power: Plug the deep fryer into a grounded electrical outlet. The power indicator light will illuminate.
2. Set Temperature: Turn the temperature control knob to your desired frying temperature. Refer to the recommended temperatures on the unit or your recipe. The heating indicator light will turn on.
3. Preheat Oil: Allow the oil to preheat. The heating indicator light will turn off once the set temperature is reached, indicating the oil is ready. This may take several minutes.
4. Prepare Food: Ensure food is dry before placing it in the frying basket. Excess moisture can cause oil to splatter. Do not overload the basket.
5. Fry Food: Carefully lower the frying basket with food into the hot oil. Close the lid. Use the viewing window to monitor the cooking process.
