OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Using the Deep Fryer
Using Solid Fat
Warning: Do not put solid shortening in
the oil container or the frying basket.
• If using solid vegetable shortening,
melt it first in a separate pan and then
very carefully pour the melted fat into
the oil container.
Warning: Never plug in the Deep Fryer
before filling with oil to specified level.
Always make sure control panel is
securely in place in the body and the
heating element is inside the oil in the
container before plugging in.
• Previously used solid vegetable
shortening which has curdled and
hardened in the oil tank should be
removed from the oil container and
melted in a separate pan before
reusing.
Warning: If you try to melt the solidified
fat in the oil container, there is a risk of
warm melted fat suddenly sputtering from
below through the still solid top layer of fat.
Therefore use only the following
procedure:
• Make sure the fat is at room
temperature. If the fat is very cold, there
is a greater risk of splashing.
• Using a fork, carefully make some holes
in the fat. Make sure the lid is securely
closed while fat is melting. Set
temperature dial to 320º F (160º C).
Installing the “Control Panel With
the Heating Element” Into Place
Important: Ensure the control panel is
fitted correctly to the main unit otherwise
the unit will not function. This is not a
defect. This product is fitted with a
safety interlock switch to prevent the
unit from turning on accidentally.
Frying Baskets
• You have a choice of three different
sizes of baskets for your frying needs.
• The small and medium baskets can be
used for appropriate portions of food.
• The large divided basket can be used to
fry two different foods that require the
same frying temperature at the same
time or by removing the divider, you can
fry larger quantities. To remove the
divider make sure the basket is cool.
• Place the divider in the guide rails of the
large basket. (Fig. 5)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Filling the Frying Baskets
• Select the appropriate fryer basket
for the task
• Do not fill the frying basket when it is
immersed in oil.
• Place the food in the frying basket.
Do not overfill it and never exceed
the maximum quantities. For
optimum results and shorter frying
times, basket should be only 1/2 full.
• Do not fill the baskets higher than the
MAX line on the basket with frozen
food. (Fig. 7)
Warning: When opening the cover after
frying, lift up the cover slightly, then wait to
allow steam to escape before removing
the cover completely. Keep face away
from unit to avoid burns caused by
escaping steam.
Caution: When frying frozen foods such
as French Fries, you should not exceed
the max line on the fryer baskets. Clean
off any ice from frozen food prior to frying.
Failure to do so may cause fryer to
overflow when food is placed in oil.
Warning: When frying foods, always
remove the frying basket from the deep
fryer before filling with food because oil
will spatter and cause burns. Be
especially cautious when frying frozen
foods.
MAX Line
• Push the On/Off button to shut the unit
off.
Fig. 7
• The ready light will remain lit when the
unit is turned “Off”
• Unplug the main cord from the
electrical outlet.
• Lift up the cover slowly and wait to
allow steam to escape before removing
the cover completely.
• Lift up the frying basket by the handle.
Place it on the oil container and allow
the food to drain for a minute.
• Once the oil has drained from the
frying basket, the basket may be lifted
off and the food served.
Frying Food
Note: When frying frozen food such as
French Fries, remove the frying basket
before filling with frozen food because oil
will spatter and may cause burns. You
should not fill the frying baskets more than
halfway. Remove any ice crystals from the
frozen food prior to frying. Failure to do so
may cause the oil in the deep fryer to
overflow when the food is placed in the oil.
• Always use the frying baskets to fry
food.
Warning: Always let the deep fryer cool
completely (approximately 2 hours)
before cleaning or storing. Never carry
or move the deep fryer with hot oil inside.
• When the oil is pre-heated, the ready
light will start flashing and turn green,
indicating that the desired temperature
is reached.
• Slowly lower the frying basket into the
hot oil. Lowering the frying basket too
quickly can result in the oil overflowing
and splashing.
• Replace the deep fryer cover carefully.
• It is normal for steam to escape through
the sides of the cover while frying.
• Avoid standing too close to the deep
fryer while it is working.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Frying Tips
• Do not mix different oils or new and old oil together.
• Replace oil regularly. In general, oil will be tainted fast when frying food containing a
lot of protein, (such as poultry, meat and fish). When oil is used mainly to fry
potatoes and is filtered after each use, it can be used up to 8 to 10 times, but do not
use the same oil for more than 6 months.
• Always replace all oil as soon as it starts foaming when heated or when color
becomes dark or when it has a rancid smell or taste or becomes syrupy.
• Make sure that the food to be fried is dry.
• Remove loose ice from frozen food before frying. Rinse and pat dry.
• To cook evenly, pieces should be the same size and thickness.
• Thicker pieces will take longer to cook.

become detached from the appliance
during use, it is important to:
1. Unplug the power cord from the wall
outlet. (Fig. 10)
• The oil does not need to be changed
after each use. In general, the oil will
be tainted rather quickly when frying
food containing a lot of protein (such
as poultry, meat or fish). When oil is
mainly used to fry potatoes and is
filtered after each use, it can be used 8
to 10 times. However, do not use the
same oil for longer than 6 months.
• To filter the oil first make sure the oil
has cooled and then empty the oil from
the oil container into another container
or bottle. (Fig. 8) Wash and dry the oil
container and basket. Refill the oil
container with the oil, pouring the oil
through a wire strainer or paper filter.
(Fig. 9)
2. Turn off the
appliance at the
control panel.
3. Re-attach the
power cord to
the appliance.
4. Re-connect to

the wall socket before cleaning. Allow the
deep fryer and the oil to cool completely
(approximately 2 hours) before cleaning.
Never immerse the control panel, cord or
plug in water or any other liquid.
• Follow the cleaning instructions on
page 4.
• Never immerse the control panel, cord
or plug in water or any other liquid.

washed in the dishwasher after you
have removed the filter.
• The filter can be rinsed. Do not place in
dishwasher.
• The body of the deep fryer can be
washed in warm soapy water. Do not

dishwasher.
Detachable Power Cord
Your deep fryer has been specifically
designed with your safety in mind. Your
deep fryer has incorporated a unique
detachable power supply cord. This
power supply cord cord is designed to
“Break Away” from the fryer body in the
event that the supply cord is
inadvertently pulled. This is intended to
prevent the tipping of the appliance and
hazardous spillage of hot oil.
The female receptacle portion of the
power supply cord is permanently
attached to the rear of the the control
panel.
To connect the male power cord plug to
the female receptacle on the appliance,
orient the male plug so that it mates
with the female receptacle. The male
plug can only be inserted one way. If
the male plug will not go into the
receptacle on the appliance, rotate the
male plug 180°.
How To Reset Deep Fryer
If for some reason your deep fryer stops
heating, the reason might be that the
safety reset switch has disconnected. To
re-start the deep fryer, follow the
instruction below:
• Using the back end
of a pen, push the
re-set button that
is located on
the back of the
control panel. The
