SHORT CORD PURPOSE
POLARIZED PLUG
If the plug still does not t, contact a
qualied electrician. Never use the plug
with an extension cord unless the plug
can be fully inserted into the extension
cord. Do not alter the plug of the
product or any extension cord being
used with this product. Do not attempt
to defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
If this appliance is equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other), please follow the below
instructions:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
this plug is intended to t into a
polarized outlet only one way. If you
are unable to t the plug into the
electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.
If an extension cord is used: (1) the
marked electrical rating of the extension
cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the product; (2) the
extension cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the counter
top or tabletop where it can
unintentionally be pulled on or tripped
over by children or pets.
Note: A short power cord is provided
to reduce the risk of personal injury
resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a long cord.
Longer power-supply cords or
extension cords may be used if care
is exercised in their use.

BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Remove all printed documents and packaging materials
and recycle or discard of properly.
2. Pull out all removable parts (except the power head/
heating element) and gently wash with warm soapy water.
Dry all parts thoroughly before assembling.
3. Do not operate the fryer without enough oil in the oil tank.
4. The Deep Fryer should always be placed on a at, level,
dry and stable surface where the power cord is out of
reach from children and safe from pulling or accidental
entanglement.
NOTE:
Do not immerse
the Power Cord or
Control Box/Power
Head Assembly in any
liquids. The Heating
Elements are the only
part of the Deep Fryer
that is immersed in oil.
TIPS:
1. When you fry several different kinds of food, always fry the
food that uses the lowest temperature setting rst.
2. Do not mix different types of oil for frying.
3. Frying already pre-cooked foods may take less time to fry
than completely raw food.
4. Replace the oil after each 8-12 uses or earlier if the oil
becomes brown and thick.
WARNINGS:
1. THIS DEEP FRYER IS ONLY SUITABLE FOR USE WITH OIL
OR LIQUID FAT AND NOT SOLID FAT. IF SOLID FAT IS USED,
WATER CAN BECOME TRAPPED INSIDE AND THE HOT FAT
MAY SPEW OUT WITH CONSIDERABLE FORCE.
2. Never switch on the deep fryer without oil or liquid fat,
as this could damage the machine. Also, do not place any
other liquids such as water or other substances in the pan.
3. Place the deep fryer on a at, level, dry and stable surface.

RECIPES
BATTER VARIETY:
The following are a few quick recipes with different types of batter to use with a
variety of foods to fry up in the deep fryer for a delicious meal.
• Beer Batter
Mix together 1 ½ cups of our and 1 ½ cups of any kind of beer in a large
mixing bowl. Cover the bowl after mixing and allow the batter to sit at room
temperature for approximately 3 hours. When ready to fry, dip desired food
into the batter and follow the directions for frying battered foods in this
booklet.
• Egg Batter
Combine 2 egg yolks, ¾ cup of our, 1-½ teaspoons of vegetable oil, ½
teaspoon of salt and 1 cup of milk. Mix thoroughly. Add more milk if desired to
adjust the density of the mixture. When ready to fry, dip desired food into the
batter and follow the directions for frying battered foods in this booklet.
• Egg Coating
Combine 2 whole eggs with 1-½ teaspoons of vegetable and a pinch of salt
and pepper to taste. When ready to fry, dip desired food into the mixture and
follow the directions for frying foods in this booklet.
• Extra Crispy Coating
Beat together ½ cup milk and one whole egg in a small mixing bowl. In a
separate bowl, mix together ½ cup of our and any of your favorite seasonings
such as salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, etc. When read to fry, dip
desired food into the wet mixture rst, then dip into the dry our mixture. Then
follow the directions for frying foods in this booklet.
• Bread Crumb Coating
Beat together 1 ½ teaspoons of vegetable oil and 2 egg yolks in a small mixing
bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together ½ cup of bread crumbs, 1/3 cup of our
plus any of your favorite seasonings such as salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic
powder, etc. When read to fry, dip desired food into the wet mixture rst, then
dip into the dry bread crumb mixture. Then follow the directions for frying
foods in this booklet.
TIPS FOR FRYING BATTERED FOODS:
• Make sure food is always sliced thinly and evenly. This helps the food to be
fried evenly.
• Shake off any excess our or bread crumb coating to prevent any clumps from
forming when frying.
• If you wish to use the basket when frying foods coated with batter, it is
recommended to lower the basket into the hot oil rst and then gently and
carefully place battered foods into the oil directly. This will prevent the batter
from catching and sticking to the wiring of the basket.
• Never ll the basket more than 2/3 full. In order to cook evenly, the food needs
space for the frying oil to fry each side.
