Operating Instructions

1. Install the removable pot and electric unit correctly.

   • Hold the handle and squeeze the handle ends together.
   • Place the handle ends in the small holes near the bottom of the fryer basket and release your grip.
   • Pull the handle toward the basket wall until it clicks into place.
3. Pour fresh oil into the removable pot to the level between Max. and Min., as indicated inside the removable pot.
4. Plug the fryer in and set the required time. The red power indicator light will illuminate. Set it to the desired temperature by turning the temperature control. The green heat indicator lights up and remains on while the deep fryer heats up. Once the deep fryer has reached the selected temperature, the green heat indicator will go out.
5. Lower the basket containing the food into the hot oil and put the lid on. Always keep the cover closed throughout frying!

   Note: The green heat indicator comes on and goes off intermittently during use. This merely indicates that the appliance is maintaining the selected temperature. The red power indicator will remain illuminated throughout use.

6. Please make sure the food is as dry as possible before putting it into the basket. Do not add water, ice or wet food. Doing so may cause hot oil to splatter. When frying frozen food, clear off ice particles and thaw food thoroughly. Do not overfill the food basket.
7. The DING sound means the food has finished cooking. The red and green indicator lights will go out at the same time. Open the cover and lift up the basket handle to elevate the basket and allow the oil to drain. [Illustration shows lifting the basket to drain oil.]

Warming:

• Preheating the appliance is not necessary.
• Do not use the deep fryer when the oil is below the minimum level.
• The deep fryer must only be connected to the power supply after it has been filled with oil.
• NEVER TURN THE APPLIANCE ON IF IT DOES NOT CONTAIN THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF OIL!

Troubleshooting

Cleaning and Storage

Note: The deep fryer is designed to be especially easy to clean. In fact, the filter cover, frying basket, cover, and removable pot are all dishwasher safe.

Caution: Unplug the appliance from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow it to cool before removing or assembling parts, washing by hand, or placing in the dishwasher. Remove the filter from the cover. Never wet or wash the electrical unit!

1. Make sure the oil is cool enough (1 to 2 hours), and the deep fryer is unplugged before cleaning.
2. Use a non-metallic cloth or pad in combination with a soft detergent to clean the appliance. Never use metallic or abrasive products for cleaning purposes.
3. Either discard the used oil or filter it for future use. To filter the oil, follow the steps outlined below:
   • a. Remove the removable pot and carefully pour the cool, used oil into a large, four-liter container.
   • b. Wipe out the removable pot. Wash the pot and basket with mild dishwashing soap and warm water. Rinse well, towel dry, and place back into the fryer.
   • c. Place a paper filter in the bottom of the basket. Slowly pour the cool, used oil through the filter and into the fryer. Discard the filter and any collected food particles. Replace the cover and store the fryer in a cool location.
   • d. If you don't use the fryer frequently, the used oil should be stored in a separate, covered container in the refrigerator.
4. The fryer should be thoroughly cleaned before storage.
