Deep Fry
When using the multi-cooker for deep frying, you will need to attach the handle to the basket as instructed on page 2. Prior to each use,
make sure the lock bar on the basket handle is in the down (locked) position, see page 2, Fig. C.
Important Safety Information
Do not let the cord hang or drape over the counter or table edge within reach of children.
Remove the cover from the multi-cooker while the oil is heating or while frying.
Always remove the plug from the wall outlet, then remove the heat control from the multi-cooker when not in use.
WARNING! Burn Hazards
Hot oil can cause serious and painful burns. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
Oil and water do not mix. The combination can be dangerous. When the oil is heated, any water droplets in the oil superheat,
becoming a volatile steam that can cause hot oil to spatter, boil over, or even erupt out of the multi-cooker. Always remove ice
crystals and excess moisture from foods by patting them dry with paper towels before frying.
Uncooked potatoes contain a high percentage of moisture and extreme caution must be used when frying.
Use caution when frying doughs, such as beignets, donuts, dumplings, hushpuppies, and fritters. These foods may develop air
bubbles during heating, which may burst and cause burns. Use a slotted spoon or tongs, rather than a fork, to turn food during
frying and to remove food from oil.
Usecautionwhenfryingourtortillas.Flourtortillascontainairbubbles.Duringfrying,oilcanbecometrappedwithinthese
bubbles. If not properly drained, the bubbles can burst and cause burns. Accordingly, after frying, carefully raise the tortillas out
of the vegetable oil and allow to drain for approximately 30 seconds.
Always allow the appliance to cool completely before moving, removing oil, or cleaning.
