Filtering & Changing the Oil
• Make sure the deep fryer is unplugged
and the oil has cooled before cleaning
or storing the deep fryer.
• 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. 6)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Read all the sections of this booklet and follow all the instructions carefully.
At the End of Cooking
Warning: In order to avoid injury or
burns, never touch any metal parts on
the deep fryer because they may be hot.
Using for the First Time
• Press the power button to turn the
power off.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall
outlet.
Warning: Never immerse the control
panel in water or any other liquids.
Warning: Never plug in the control panel
when it is not installed in the fryer body
with heating element in the oil container.
Do not immerse the control panel, cord or
plug in water.
Filling the Frying Basket
• Do not fill the frying basket when it is
immersed in oil.
Warning: All components must be
completely dried before filling with oil
or using. Special care must be taken
to ensure the washable oil filter in the
lid is completely dry, otherwise the
filter will not function properly and may
lead to steam being trapped within the
fryer during use.
• Lift up the lid cover slowly and wait to
allow steam to escape before
removing the lid 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.
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.
• Place the food in the frying basket.
Do not overfill it and never exceed
the “MAX” line on the frying basket.
For optimum results and shorter
frying time, fry smaller quantities.
• The basket has approximately 1.5 lb.
food capacity. It will hold 4-5
average size pieces of chicken.
• Do not fill the basket higher than the
MAX line on the basket with frozen
food.
Warning: When frying frozen foods,
remove the frying basket from the deep
fryer before filling because oil will spatter
and cause burns.
Caution: When frying frozen foods such
as french fries, you should not exceed 1.25
Lb. (564 gr.) or less. 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: This unit should not be used
to boil water.
Prior to First Use, Clean the Unit
Thoroughly
Warning: Never exceed "MAX" line when
filling the basket with food.
Warning: Always let the fryer cool
completely for 2 hours before taking it apart
for cleaning. Never carry or move the
deep fryer with hot oil inside. Before
cleaning, always make sure the plug is not
in the wall socket.
• All components with the exception of the
electrical parts, can be washed in warm
soap water. Dry thoroughly before use.
• Use basket handle to remove the frying
basket. Always make sure the basket
handle is securely attached to the
basket. Attach the handle to the frying
basket, insert the metal part of the
handle inside the metal bracket on the
frying basket. (Fig. 1)
Filling 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.
• Use blended vegetable oil, pure corn oil
or canola (rapeseed) oil. Do not use
olive oil, margarine, lard or drippings.
• The oil level must always be maintained
between the minimum and the
maximum levels marked inside the oil
container. Check the oil level before
each use. For best results, Do NOT
exceed “MAX” level for cooking oil.
(Fig. 2)
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.
• To cook evenly, pieces should be the
same size and thickness.
• Thicker pieces will take longer to cook.
Frying Food
• Always use the frying basket to fry
food.
• Lift the control panel with heating
element out of its slots by pushing it up
from the bottom with one hand while
holding the body of the deep fryer with
your the other hand.
• Always close the lid cover during
frying.
• When the oil is pre-heated, ready
indicator light will come on 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 lid carefully.
• It is normal for steam to escape
through the sides of the lid while frying.
• Avoid standing too close to the deep
fryer while it is working.
• Never mix different oils and fats together.
Do not mix old and new oil.
• Remove the oil container.
• Clean the oil container and the frying
basket with hot water, dishwashing liquid
or other non-poisonous detergent and
non-abrasive sponge.
Fig. 2
Warning: When opening the lid cover
after frying, lift the lid slightly, then wait to
allow steam to escape before removing
the lid completely. Keep face away from
unit to avoid burns caused by escaping
steam.

• If using solid vegetable shortening, melt
it first in a separate pan and then very
carefully pour the melted fat into the oil
container.
• Previously used solid vegetable
shortening which has curdled and
hardened in the oil container 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. Press the
"Function" Reset button and press timer
button to set the time you require.
