SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. This Deep Fryer is equipped
with an exclusive SureRELEASE™ Power Cord System, which includes a
detachable magnetic cord designed to separate from the unit when certain
amounts of force are applied (See details on pg.6 for instructions on proper
usage of the SureRELEASE™ magnetic cord.).
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. WARNING: Do not
use an extension cord.
No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to service this product.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than
e other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical
shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature or modify the plug
in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels
warm do not use that outlet.

PREPARING YOUR DEEP FRYER FOR USE
Prior to first use, remove all packaging materials from the exterior and
interior of the fryer. Make sure the fryer is unplugged. Wash the Frying
Basket and removable Oil Reservoir in hot soapy water. Gently wipe the
Cool Zone Heating Element with a damp cloth. Dry all parts thoroughly.
See CARE AND CLEANING section.
CAUTION: Do not immerse cord, plug, Power Strip or Control Panel
assembly in water.
TIPS FOR DEEP FRYING
•
•
Fill the unit with oil between the maximum and minimum capacity
lines only.
Do not over fill the basket. To achieve quality results deep frying food
needs to be surrounded by oil. Too much food causes the oil
temperature to drop, resulting in “soggy” food. Food should be
submerged completely in the oil.
•
•
Be sure that all ice crystals are removed from the food and food is
completely dry. Excessive water and ice can cause the oil to splatter
and/or overflow.
Coated foods (bread crumbs, batters, etc.) are best for deep frying.
The coating acts as a protective layer keeping food moist on the
inside and crisp on the outside.
•
•
For best results, defrost frozen foods for 20 minutes prior to frying.
Fry foods at the correct temperature for best results. This will prevent
burning and give you even colored, crispy food.
•
•
Prepackaged frozen, cooked chicken, may cook faster than uncooked
food.
For even cooking, shake basket half way through cooking cycle.

USING YOUR DEEP FRYER
NOTE: Never turn on the fryer with an empty Oil Reservoir. Always use
your fryer on a flat, heat resistant surface.
1. Attach magnetic end of SureRELEASE™ cord assembly
directly to the fryer. (See Fig. 1) This should be done
prior to plugging the cord into the wall outlet. The
magnetic end of the cord is designed only to go on
one way. Be sure the side stating “THIS SIDE UP” is
Figure 1
facing up.
2. Open Lid by pressing the Open Lid button.
3. Remove Frying Basket by pulling basket handle up and out of the deep fryer.
4. Make sure the Oil Reservoir is seated in place. Pour cooking oil into Oil
Reservoir until it reaches between “MIN” and “MAX” marks inside
reservoir. DO NOT OVER OR UNDER FILL.
5. Replace Frying Basket and close Lid. Slide the lock tab on the handle to
lower basket into oil.
6. Make sure that the fryer is OFF, then insert plug into 120 volt AC outlet.
7. To turn the fryer on, slide the Temperature Control Lever to desired
cooking temperature.
8. Turn Timer Control Knob to ON position. The Power Indicator Light
will illuminate.
9. The Ready Indicator Light will illuminate when the set temperature is
reached. Raise the Frying Basket by lifting the handle (to the horizontal
position) and drain excess grease. Press the Open Lid button and then
remove the Frying Basket and place on a paper towel.
10. Place food inside Frying Basket. Do not fry too many pieces at one
time. Overloading will lower the oil temperature, causing food to
absorb too much oil and cook improperly. For best results with frozen
foods, reduce the quantity of food.
NOTE: Do not add water or wet foods to hot oil. Even small amounts
of water may cause splattering. Remove any excess ice crystals on
frozen foods before placing in Frying Basket.
11. Replace Frying Basket and then close the Lid. Slide the lock tab on the
basket handle to release and lower the Frying Basket into the oil.

USING YOUR DEEP FRYER (CONT.)
CAUTION: Always close the Lid before immersing food in oil. Do not
immerse or drain food with the lid removed or open.
12. Turn timer knob to desired time. For cooking times, see chart on page
10, or use the recommended times in your recipe.
13. After time is up, a bell will sound. The fryer will switch OFF and begin
to cool. Raise basket handle (lock in the horizontal position) to lift food
out of the oil. To remove excess grease and retain crispiness, let food
drain at least 10-20 seconds before removing. Open Lid, then remove
the Frying Basket by the handle and pour contents onto plate covered
with several layers of paper towels to absorb excess grease before
serving.
NOTE: If frying more than one batch of food, be sure to turn timer
knob back to ON position, wait for Ready Indicator Light to
illuminate, and follow steps 10-13 as described above.
14. When finished cooking, make sure the fryer is in the OFF position.
WARNING: DO NOT USE SureRELEASE™ POWER CORD SYSTEM TO
DISCONNECT THE FRYER. ALWAYS DISCONNECT PLUG FROM WALL
OUTLET FIRST.
Use only Model #PL1215 magnetic cord set with this product. The use of
any other magnetic cord set may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
CAUTION: The SureRELEASE™ Power Cord is only for accidental
disconnection and is not to be removed during normal operation. If the
cord becomes disconnected, the user should immediately unplug the cord
set from from the deep fryer and then the wall outlet.

TIPS FOR OIL USE AND STORAGE
NOTE: Do not use seasoned or flavored oil such as walnut, olive oil, lard
or drippings because they have a low smoke point. Use blended vegetable
oil, pure corn oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil or grape seed oil (canola oil).
These oils are safe for using in your deep fryer as they have a high smoke
point. Peanut oil is not recommended because it greatly impacts the flavor.
•
•
Oils should never be mixed when deep frying.
High heat, water and burnt food particles break down the oil’s
smoke point.
•
Replace oil if you notice:
- Excessive smoking at normal temperatures
- Strong oil discoloration
- A rancid smell
- Excessive foaming around the frying food
•
Oil darkens with use because the oil and food molecules burn when
subjected to high/prolonged heat. The more you use an oil, the
more slowly it will pour. Its viscosity changes because of changes to
the oil’s molecular structure. When smoke appears on the oils’
surface before the temperature reaches 375°F, your oil will no longer
deepfry effectively.
•
•
When frying foods with strong flavor and/or aroma like fish or
chicken, use the oil only once.
Filtering the oil with a cooking oil filter or fine-mesh strainer can keep
it fresher. Although storing oil in a refrigerator may extend the life of
the oil, this should never be done. This process of chilling oil then
brining the oil to room temperature causes excessive splattering
during the heat up process.
•
Store the covered oil in a cool dark place, for up to three months.
Check the oil before using for color, smell, or excessive foaming.
Discard the oil if it shows any of these qualities.
