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 o 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.

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 o 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 FRY
1. Lift o lid covering oil container, remove frying basket, and reattach handle if
necessary. To attach the handle, squeeze the metal bars together, then insert the two
prongs into the holes in the bracket on the basket. Be sure the bars are inside the
metal cus on the bracket.
2. Be sure the removable oil container is in the base and that the removable control unit
is properly positioned on the base.

3. Add enough oil to the oil container to reach between the MIN and MAX marks inside
the oil container. You'll need about 1 gallon of oil to reach the MAX fill line. Do not over-
or underfill and do not use dierent oils. (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.)
4. With the frying basket outside of the unit, put the lid on the fryer.
5. Attach the breakaway cord to the back of the unit, then plug into outlet. NOTE: For
safety reasons, the unit will not turn on until the timer is set. Once timer is set, the red
POWER light will illuminate. Heating will not begin until the temperature is set.
6. Turn the temperature control knob to the desired temperature and set timer to desired
time; the fryer will begin to heat. While the oil heats, the green HEATING light will
remain lit. Once the set temperature is reached, the green heating light will turn o.
(Note that it usually takes at least 10 minutes for oil to heat, so set timer to account for
that as well as the frying time.)
7. Fill the frying basket with the food to be fried. NOTE: Do not overfill the basket. NOTE:
For some foods, especially those with wet batters, it's best to add the food directly to
the oil and not start with it in the basket.
8. When the HEATING light turns o, remove the lid and carefully lower the basket into
the oil. WARNING: Oil may bubble and splatter. Please use caution when lowering food
into hot oil.
9. Put the lid back on over the basket. (You can view progress through
the window.)
10. Fry foods according to your recipe. If necessary, remove the lid to turn or flip food as
directed or desired.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

11. 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 o the food completely before removing basket and
serving food.
12. If you are frying more food in a second batch, adjust oil level as needed and repeat
frying steps. IMPORTANT: When the timer reaches 0, heating is automatically turned
o. You can add more time as needed by simply turning the knob.
13. When finished frying, unplug the deep fryer and allow the oil to cool completely
(about 3 hours).
14. The same oil can be filtered once cooled 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.
15. 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.
16. 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 coee can or gallon milk jug, and then throw the
oil-filled container in the trash according to the local community regulations. Used
cooking oil can also be recycled in some areas.
