BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME  
Read all the sections of this fold-out manual carefully.  
Remove the fryer from the packaging.  
Open the lid by pressing the lid release button. The lid can be completely  
removed by lifting out of the hinge slots when in the open position.  
Raise basket handle to the highest (horizontal) position and it will lock into  
place. Lift out of the cooking pot, remove all accessories, power suppy cord  
and printed documents from the basket.  
The cooking pot is easily removed by lifting up on the left and right handles  
built into the rim of the pot.  
Clean the frying basket and cooking pot with hot water, a small amount of  
dishwashing liquid and a non-abrasive sponge or cleaning pad. These can  
also be put into the dishwasher for cleaning.  
Clean the heater with hot water. Never immerse the control box in  
water. Dry thoroughly, being careful not to bend wires leading to thermostat  
in middle of heater coil.  
FILLING THE COOKING POT WITH OIL  
Make sure the cooking pot is correctly positioned in the main body.  
Remove frying basket and set aside.  
Fill pot with oil. The oil level must be maintained between the minimum  
and maximum level marks indicated on the inside of the pot.  
Check the level before each use and add oil if necessary.  
For healthier, crispier fried foods, we recommend you use a good quality  
vegetable oil, pure corn oil, sunflower oil or canola oil.  
Wipe inside of viewing window with a small amount of vegetable oil to help  
prevent condensation which can obstruct your view through the window  
while cooking.  
FRYING FOODS  
Open the Lid by pressing the Lid Release Button located below the Control Box  
and remove basket from deep fryer.  
Place food in Basket. Do not fill more than 2/3 full from the bottom of the Basket.  
Carefully place the Basket with food into the center recess of the Control Box,  
leaving Handle in horizontal position - do not fold down to lower the Basket yet.  
Close Lid and press it on each side of the Control Box to make sure the dual  
locking tabs are secure.  
Attach the Magnetic Detachable Power Supply Cord to the receptacle at the  
back of the fryer Main Body. The magnet block fits only one way, so if it  
does not hold in place, turn the block over and try again.  
Plug the Cord into an outlet.  
Slide the Adjustable Temperature Knob to the desired temperature. See  
Cooking Guide section for proper temperature selection.

English-4  
The Power Light to the far left of the Light Bar will turn ON as well as the  
Pre-Heat Indicator Light to the far right of the Light Bar.  
When the desired temperature is reached, the Pre-Heat Indicator Light on  
the far right side will turn OFF, the Power Light will remain ON as long as  
the unit is plugged in and is functioning.  
Press Basket Lowering Button on the Folding Basket Handle and slowly  
allow the Handle to fold down into the recess area of the Control Box. This  
will lower the Basket of food into the hot oil and the frying will begin.  
When desired cooking time has been reached, carefully raise the Handle  
back into the horizontal position until it locks into place. This will raise the  
frying Basket from the hot oil and will allow the excess oil to begin draining  
off the food.  
When you wish to enjoy the food, press the Lid Release Button to open the Lid.  
Warning: By pressing the Lid Release Button the unit will release hot steam  
and de-pressurize the container. Extreme care should be used to ensure hands  
and face are clear of the appliance when hot steam is released.  
Take out the Basket and place the food on dishes (or first place on paper towel  
to help absorb any excess oil that may remain on the outside of the food).  
Warning: The Basket is very hot. Only carry the Basket using the Basket  
Handle. Do not touch the hot metal.  
If you wish to fry another batch of food, repeat the above steps. If you have  
completed frying, turn unit to OFF position by sliding the Adjustable  
Temperature Knob all the way to the left and unplug the unit from the outlet.  
Warning: Oil remains hot for a long time after use. Do not attempt to move  
or carry the fryer while it is hot. Do not attempt to pour off oil from  
cooking pot for storage until oil has cooled completely, usually 1 to 2 hours –  
longer if lid is in closed position.  
FILTERING AND CHANGING THE OIL  
Make sure the fryer is unplugged and the oil has cooled down before  
cleaning or storing your fryer.  
The oil does not need to be changed after each use. On average, oil can  
be used for 8 to 12 uses. You will need to change it more often when  
frying fish or heavily battered foods.  
We recommend filtering the oil if you see any food debris left in the oil  
or on the bottom of the pot. You may do this by performing the following:  
Remove the basket. Carefully pour the clear oil into another large pot or  
saucepan (minimum of 3 to 5 liters), leaving food debris in bottom of  
cooking pot. Discard this small amount of oil with food debris.

HOW  
T
O
CLEAN  
Prior to washing, wipe oil residue and food debris from cooking pot with  
paper towels.  
Wipe heater with dry paper towels until it is free from oily residue.  
Take care not to bend thermostat wires on heater.  
To clean the control box and heater, use a damp dishcloth that has been  
dipped in water and mild dish soap. Completely wipe down all parts of the  
control box. Wipe off all residual dish soap with a damp cloth. Do not  
reassemble the deep fryer until all the parts are thoroughly dry.  
Clean the lid with built-in permanent filter, basket, bowl and the main body  
with hot water, a little dishwashing liquid and a sponge or put these parts  
into the dishwasher to clean.  
Place the bowl as vertically as possible in the dishwasher, while ensuring it  
will not hinder the spray arms. Dry thoroughly before reassembling all parts.  
STORING YOUR APPLIANCE  
Do not store appliance that still contains oil in the oil tank or that  
has not been cleaned and dried thoroughly.  
Store in a dry area. Unit can be stored in its box. Do not place heavy items  
on top of the deep fryer or the box, as this could result in damage to your  
appliance.
