2. Push the cover release button to open the cover. CAUTION: The unit has a special cool-touch exterior; however, the

interior of the fryer is extremely hot and should not be touched. If the cover

does not open completely, slowly tilt the cover back to an upright position being

careful not to touch hot surfaces.

utes it is normal for steam to appear on the viewing window. This will slowly

disappear during cooking if the window is kept clean between uses.

CAUTION: It is normal for steam to escape from the cover vents during

frying. To prevent steam burns, keep hands and face away from the vents.

Note: High moisture foods, such as french fries, produce more steam than other

foods. The fryer is designed to ensure that excessive moisture does not remain

in the fryer. Thus when frying moist foods, you may see beads of condensation

on the exterior of the fryer. This is normal.

7. When frying time has elapsed, lift up on the basket handle to raise the basket to

the drain position.

8. Push the cover release button to open the cover. Allow the steam to vent and then

slowly tilt the cover back to an upright position being careful not to touch hot

surfaces. Check that the food is golden brown. If more cooking time is needed,

close the cover and slide the basket lowering button forward to lower the basket

back into the oil.

9. Once the food is done, carefully lift the basket out of the fryer. Then empty the

food on absorbent paper. Season to taste.

10. If frying additional food, close fryer cover and wait for indicator light to go out.

Then repeat steps 1 through 9.
