WARNING:
Never plug in the deep fryer before filling the oil reservoir with oil. Always make sure that the control panel is securely in place in the housing of the deep fryer and that the heating element is inside the oil in the oil reservoir before plugging it in.

FILLING THE OIL RESERVOIR:

Pour cooking oil into the oil reservoir making sure that it is between the “MIN” and “MAX” fill lines in the oil container. Do not underfill or overfill. The oil levels must be maintained between the minimum (2.2L) and the maximum levels (3L) marked inside the oil container. (Fig. 4)
Previously used solid vegetable shortening which has curdled and hardened in the oil reservoir should be removed from the oil reservoir and melted in a separate pan before reusing.

WARNING:
If you try to melt the solidified fat in the oil reservoir, there is a risk of hot melted fat suddenly sputtering from below through the solid top layer of fat.

Use only the following procedure when melting solid fat in your deep fryer:

Make sure the fat is at room temperature. If the fat is cold, then there is a greater risk of splashing.
Using a fork, carefully make some holes in the fat.
Make sure the lid is always securely closed while the fat is melting.
Set the temperature control to 170°C and turn the TIMER to ON.

IMPORTANT:
Setting the temperature will automatically turn the deep fryer “ON” and the ready light will off. The ready light will on when the fat or oil in the reservoir has reached the selected temperature.

PREHEATING

WARNING:
Never plug in the deep fryer before filling the oil reservoir with oil. Always unplug the appliance when it is not in use.

Make sure that the oil level in the oil reservoir is between the “MAX” and “MIN” fill lines inside the oil container.
Place the lid onto the deep fryer.
Insert the plug into the electrical wall outlet. The power of the light will illuminate.
Turn the temperature control to the desired temperature and turn the Timer to ON.
The ready light will be on when the set temperature is reached.

FILLING THE FRYING BASKET & FRYING

WARNING: When frying frozen foods, remove the frying basket from the deep fryer before filling because the oil will spatter and cause burns.
CAUTION: When frying frozen foods such as French Fries, you should not exceed the 2/3 depth of the fryer basket. Clean off any ice from frozen food prior to frying. Failure to do so may cause the fryer to overflow when food is placed in the oil.
CAUTION: Never plug in the control panel when it is not assembled to the fryer body. Do not immerse the control panel, or power cord or plug in water or any other liquid.

Do not fill the frying basket when it is immersed in the hot oil.
Place the food in the frying basket. Do not drop the food into the hot cooking oil. Do not overfill it and never exceed the 2/3 depth of the frying basket. For optimum results and shorter frying time, fry smaller quantities.
Immerse the frying basket into the oil reservoir carefully so that you do not splash the oil.
Replace the lid on the deep fryer while it is frying.
When the cooking period is over, carefully remove the deep fryer lid, lifting it up away from you to allow the steam to escape before removing the lid completely. Keep your face away from the top of the appliance to avoid burns caused by escaping Steam.
Turn the temperature control to the “MIN” position, turn the Timer to OFF, and remove the plug from the electrical wall outlet.
Lift up the frying basket by the handle and place it on the hook to allow the oil to drain. (Fig. 5)
Once the oil has drained from the frying basket, the basket may be lifted off and the food served or placed in a dish.
WARNING: Always let the deep fryer cool completely (approximately 2 hours) before cleaning or storing. Never carry or move the appliance with hot oil inside. CAUTION: The metal surfaces of the deep fryer become hot during use. Do not touch the sides of the appliance while it is used .

FRYING TIPS

Always use the frying basket to fry food.
Always close the lid during frying.
When the oil is pre-heated, the ready indicator light will on, indicating that the desired temperature is reached.
Slowly lower the frying basket into the hot oil. Lowering the frying basket too quickly can result in the oil overflowing and splashing.
Replace the lid carefully.
It is normal for steam to escape through the sides of the lid while frying.
Avoid standing too close to the deep fryer while it is working.
Do not mix different oils or new and old oil together.
Replace oil regularly. In general, the oil will be tainted fast when frying food containing a lot of protein, (such as poultry, meat and fish). When oil is used mainly to fry potatoes and is filtered after each use, it can be used up to 8 to 10 times, but do not use the same oil for more than 6 months.
Always replace all oil as soon as it starts foaming when heated or when the color becomes dark or when it has a rancid smell or taste or becomes syrupy.
Make sure that the food to be fried is dry.
Remove loose ice from frozen food before frying.
To cook evenly, pieces should be the same size and thickness.
Thicker pieces will take longer to cook.

The following cooking times reflect only the approximate time needed to fry one basket. The exact time may be different depending on actual quantity, personal cooking preferences, size and thickness of pieces, etc.

TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
In general, use lower settings for delicate foods (vegetables, fish) and higher settings for frozen foods, French Fries, and chicken.

FOOD	COOKING TIME	TEMPERATURE
French fries	8-10 minutes	190OC
Fish fillets	3-5 minutes	150OC
Chicken fingers	6-8 minutes	170OC
Chicken legs	13-20 minutes	170OC
Fried Zucchini	3 minutes	150OC
Fried mushrooms	3 minutes	150OC
Onion rings	3 minutes	150OC
Donuts	3-5 minutes	170OC
Apple Beignets	4 minutes	170OC
Shrimp	4-6 minutes	150OC

FILTERING & CHANGING THE OIL

ATTENTION:
Make sure the deep fryer is unplugged from the electrical socket and the oil has cooled (approximately 2 hours) before changing the oil, or cleaning and storing the deep fryer.

Note:
The oil does not need to be changed after each use. In general, the oil will be tainted rather quickly when frying food containing a lot of protein (such as poultry, meat or fish). When oil is mainly used to fry potatoes and is filtered after each use, it can be used 8 to 10 times. However, do not use the same oil for longer than 6 months.

TO FILTER THE OIL:

Make sure the oil has cooled (approximately 2 hours) and then empty the oil from the oil reservoir into another container or bottle. (Fig. 6)
Wash and dry the oil reservoir and frying basket.
Refill the oil reservoir with the oil by pouring the oil through a wire strainer or paper filter. (Fig. 7)

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

To ensure many years of service from your appliance, clean your deep fryer after every use.

WARNING:
Always remove the plug from the electrical wall outlet before cleaning. Allow the deep fryer and the oil to cool completely (approximately 2 hours) before cleaning. Never immerse the control panel, or cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.

Do not place the control panel, cord, or plug in the dishwasher.
Clean the control panel with a damp cloth only.
The body, oil reservoir, frying basket, and lid can be washed on the top rack of a dishwasher.

THE RESET FEATURE
Your deep fryer is equipped with a reset feature. If for some reason the deep fryer stops heating, the reason may be that the reset switch has tripped.

To reset the deep fryer:

Unplug the appliance from the electrical wall outlets.
Let the appliance and the oil in the oil reservoir cool completely.
After the appliance has cooled completely, lift the control panel and using the tip of a ball point pen or pencil, push the thermostat reset button that is located on the inside of the control panel (Fig. 8)
