SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS &
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way or force it
into the outlet. This could result in injury or electric shock.
Short Cord Instructions
1. A short, detachable power cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. WARNING: Do not use an extension cord with this product. Serious hot
oil burns may result from the deep fryer being pulled off a countertop.
Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of the counter where it may
be grabbed by children or become entangled with the user.
Power Cord Safety Tips
1. Never pull or yank on the cord or the appliance.
2. To insert the plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into the outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet.
4. Never use the product if the power cord shows signs of abrasion or
excessive wear. Contact Chefman Customer Support for additional
guidance and support.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place
undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to
fray and break.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR
IF THE APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
California Proposition 65:
(Applicable for California Residents only)
WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Do not place the appliance on a
stovetop or any other heatable surface,
even if stovetop is not on.
Doing so is a fire hazard.

Before First Use
1. Remove the lid, then remove all parts from oil tank, including the
removable control unit with heating element. To remove control unit,
lift it straight up. Remove and discard any plastic bags, cardboard, or
other packaging.
2. Wipe the lid and the control unit and heating element with a damp cloth
to remove any packing debris. Never put the lid or the control unit in the
dishwasher. Never immerse the removable control unit in water.
3. Wash the frying basket and the oil container, and clean with a sponge
and soapy water. NOTE: The handle comes off the frying basket for easy
storage; be sure it’s securely on before frying.
4. Dry all components thoroughly.
5. Reassemble the deep fryer, making sure the control unit is correctly
positioned; the fryer will not function otherwise. To attach the control unit
to the base, align the guides on the front of the control unit with the tracks
on the base. Slide the control unit down as far as it goes, making sure
guides are in the tracks.
6. Keep the lid on the fryer when it is not in use.

How to Use the Deep Fryer
1. Lift off the lid covering the oil
container, remove the frying
basket, and reattach the handle if
necessary. To attach the handle,
squeeze the metal bars together,
then insert the two prongs into
the loops in the bracket on the
basket. Pull back the handle so it’s
perpendicular to the basket and
locked in place.
2. Be sure the removable oil
container is in the base. Slide
the removable control unit into
the base, aligning the guide rails
on the control unit with the slots
on the base.

3. Add enough oil (see tips on page 10) to the oil container to reach between
the MIN (2.5L) and MAX (3.0L) marks inside the oil container. Do not overfill or
underfill. With the frying basket outside of the unit, put the lid on the fryer.
4. Attach the breakaway cord to the back of the unit, then plug into outlet. Turn
the temperature control knob to the desired temperature. The Power and
Heating lights will illuminate.

How to Use the Deep Fryer
5. When the Heating light turns off,
fill the frying basket with food (do
not overfill), remove the lid, and
carefully lower the basket into the
oil. Put the lid back on over the
basket. WARNING: Oil may bubble
and splatter. Please use caution
when lowering food into hot oil.
NOTE: For some foods, especially
those with wet batters, it’s best to
add the empty basket to the oil,
then add the food.
6. Fry foods according to your
recipe, or follow the suggested
cooking times on page 11. If
necessary, remove the lid to turn
or flip food as directed or desired.
NOTE: When food is placed in
the deep fryer, it will cool the oil,
making the Heating light turn
back on. This is normal. The fryer
will regulate the heat, and the
light will turn off when the set
temperature is reached.
7. Remove the lid and use the frying
basket handle to lift the frying
basket above the oil to check if
food has reached the desired
doneness. (If not, continue
cooking.) If the food is done,
carefully lift and hang the
basket on the oil container
using the hook. Allow excess oil
to drain off the food completely
before removing the basket and
serving the food.
8. If you are frying more food in
a second batch, adjust the oil
level as needed and repeat
the frying steps.
9. When finished frying, unplug the
deep fryer and allow the oil to
cool completely (about 3 hours).
You may reuse the frying oil
after cooling and filtering it. See
page 10 for more information.

Deep Frying Tips
• We recommend using liquid vegetable oil. If you must use a solid, like
vegetable shortening, cut it into small pieces and melt it in a separate pan
before carefully adding it to the oil container.
• Sort or cut foods so they’re the same size for even cooking.
• For french fries that are cooked through on the inside and crisp on the
outside, fry them twice, first at a lower temperature (around 300°F) until
cooked through (about 5 minutes). Remove from the fryer, then refry at a
higher temperature (around 375°F).
• For some foods, especially those with wet batters, it’s best to place the
empty basket in the oil, then add the food using tongs. Use the basket to
lift out the food when finished cooking.
• To reduce splattering, pat foods dry before frying.
• Do NOT overfill the frying basket. This helps maintain the temperature of
the oil for better cooking results.
• Follow the instructions on frozen food packaging for cooking time and
temperature. Remove any ice crystals on frozen foods before frying to
reduce splattering. Lower the basket very slowly into the oil in order to
ensure that oil does not boil over. Fry frozen foods in small batches, as their
low temperature lowers the temperature of the oil.
• The same oil can be filtered and used over again. Once the oil has cooled,
line a sieve set over a bowl with cheesecloth. Grasp each side of the
removable oil container and lift upward. Pour the oil through the sieve to
remove food particles, crumbs, and impurities. Note that filtering is crucial
for safety, as impurities can increase the risk of the oil catching fire.
• DO NOT STORE THE OIL IN THE DEEP FRYER. Store used oil in a clean, airtight
container in a cool, dark place for up to a month.
• Discard oil that is clouded, starts to foam, or has a bad smell or taste. Do
not pour oil down the drain, as it will clog pipes. The safest way to dispose
of cooled oil is by pouring it into a sealable container such as a coffee can
or gallon milk jug and then throwing the oil-filled container in the trash
according to local community regulations. Used cooking oil can also be
recycled in some areas.

Safety Feature: Reset Switch

inadvertently switch on the deep fryer with no oil in the oil pan, the element will
overheat and the safety switch will trip, switching off the power. To reset the unit:
• Unplug the deep fryer from the outlet.
• Allow the deep fryer to cool for 30 minutes.
• Using a plastic or wooden rod, press the reset switch, located inside a hole
in the back of the control unit.
• The fryer will now be ready to use.
12
Keep It Clean
• Before cleaning, unplug the unit and let the oil cool completely, at least
3 hours.
• Remove the control unit and heating element, and clean both parts with
a damp cloth or sponge. Never submerge the control unit or heating
element in water, and do not wash in the dishwasher.
• Remove all cooled oil from unit. Do NOT store oil in unit.
• Remove the filter from the lid. Wash the basket, handle, oil container, and
lid by hand with soap and water. Do not wash these components in the
dishwasher.
• The filter should be checked and cleaned regularly with soap and water.
Let dry completely before putting them back in the lid.
• Wash the metal base as needed with soap and water.
• After cleaning, reassemble the deep fryer. Ensure that all components
are dry before placing them back inside the fryer. For storage, the basket
handle as well as the detachable cord can be removed and stored in the
oil container.
• After cleaning, reassemble the deep fryer. Ensure that all components
are dry before placing them back inside the fryer. For storage, the basket
