OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove the lid, then remove all parts from oil tank, including the removable control unit with heating element. To remove control unit, lift it straight up. Remove and discard any plastic bags, cardboard, or other packaging.

2. Wipe the lid and the control unit and heating element with a damp cloth to remove any packing debris. Never put the lid or the control unit in the dishwasher. Never immerse the removable control unit in water.

3. Wash the frying basket, divider, and the oil container and clean with soapy water.
   NOTE: The handle comes off the frying basket for easy storage; be sure it’s securely on before frying.

4. Dry all components thoroughly.

5. Reassemble the deep fryer, making sure the control unit is correctly positioned; the fryer will not function otherwise. To attach the control unit to the base, align the guides on the front of the control unit with the tracks on the base. Slide the control unit down as far as it goes making sure guides are in the tracks.

6. Keep the lid on the fryer when it is not in use.

HOW TO FRY

1. Lift off the lid covering oil container and remove frying basket. Reattach handle if necessary. To attach the handle, squeeze the metal bars together, then insert the two prongs into the holes in the bracket on the basket. Be sure the bars are inside the metal cuffs on the bracket.

2. Be sure the removable oil container is in the base and that the removable control unit is properly positioned on the base.

3. Add enough oil to the oil container to reach between the MIN and MAX marks inside the oil container. You’ll need about 1 gallon of oil to reach the MAX fill line. Do not over- or underfill and do not use different oils. (We recommend using liquid vegetable oil. If you must use a solid, like vegetable shortening, cut it into small pieces and melt it in a separate pan before carefully adding it to the oil container.)

4. With the frying basket outside of the unit, put the lid on the fryer. Attach the breakaway cord to the back of the unit, then plug into outlet.

5. Turn the temperature control knob to the desired temperature and set the timer to the desired time; the fryer will begin to heat.
   NOTE: For safety reasons, the unit will not turn on until the timer is set. Once the timer is set, the red POWER light will illuminate. Heating will not begin until the temperature is set.

6. While the oil heats, the green HEATING light will remain lit. Once the set temperature is reached, the green heating light will turn off. (Note that it usually takes at least 10 minutes for oil to heat, so set the timer to account for that as well as the frying time.)

7. If desired, put the divider in the basket. To do so, center one hook between the two prongs of the basket handle and the other hook on the other side of the basket. Press down on the divider until the divier’s feet slide through slots at the bottom of the basket and divider is securely hooked on basket.

8. Fill the frying basket with the food to be fried.
   NOTE: Do not overfill the basket and see Tips for information on frying with wet batters.

9. When the HEATING light turns off, remove the lid and carefully lower the basket into the oil.
   WARNING: Oil may bubble and splatter. Please use caution when lowering food into hot oil.

10. Put the lid back on over the basket. (You can view progress through the window.)

11. Fry foods according to your recipe, or follow the suggested cooking times that follow. If necessary, remove the lid to turn or flip food as directed or desired.

12. Remove the lid and use the frying basket handle to lift the frying basket above the oil to check if food has reached the desired doneness. (If not, continue cooking.) If the food is done, carefully lift and hang the basket on the oil container using the hook. Allow any excess oil to drain off the food completely before removing basket and serving food.

13. If you are frying more food in a second batch, adjust the oil level as needed and repeat frying steps.
    IMPORTANT: When the timer reaches 0, heating is automatically turned off. You can add more time as needed by simply turning the knob.

14. When finished frying, unplug the deep fryer and allow the oil to cool completely (about 3 hours). You may reuse the frying oil after cooling and filtering it. See CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE for more information.

DEEP FRYING TIPS

• Sort or cut foods so they’re the same size for even cooking.
• For french fries that are cooked through on the inside and crisp on the outside, fry them twice. First at a lower temperature (around 300˚F) until cooked through (about 5 minutes). Remove from fryer, then refry at a higher temperature (around 375˚F).
• When cooking foods dipped in a loose batter, lower empty frying basket into hot oil. Using tongs, add food directly to oil. Use basket to lift out food when finished cooking. • To reduce splattering, pat foods dry before frying.
• Do not overfill the frying basket. This helps maintain temperature of oil for better cooking results.
• Follow the instructions on frozen food packaging for cooking time and temperature. Remove any ice crystals on frozen foods before frying to reduce splattering. Lower the basket very slowly into the oil in order to ensure that oil does not boil over. Fry frozen foods in small batches as their low temperature lowers the temperature of the oil.
• The same oil can be filtered once cooled and used over again. Once the oil has cooled, line a sieve set over a bowl with cheesecloth. Grasp each side of the removable oil container and lift upward. Pour the oil through the sieve to remove food particles, crumbs, and impurities. Note that filtering is crucial for safety as impurities can increase the risk of the oil catching fire.
• DO NOT STORE THE OIL IN THE DEEP FRYER. Store used oil in a clean, airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to a month.
• Discard oil that is clouded, starts to foam, or has a bad smell or taste. Do not pour oil down the drain as it will clog pipes. The safest way to dispose of cooled oil is by pouring it into a sealable container such as a coffee can or gallon milk jug, and then throw the oil-filled container in the trash according to the local community regulations. Used cooking oil can also be recycled in some areas.

SUGGESTED COOKING TIMES

The following cooking times are a guide only. They may vary depending on the size of the food, the amount of food and individual preferences. Follow your recipe or package instructions for best results.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Before cleaning, unplug unit and let oil cool completely, at least 3 hours.
• Remove the control unit and heating element and clean both parts with a damp cloth or sponge. Never submerge the control unit or heating element in water and do not wash in the dishwasher.
• Remove all cooled oil from unit. Do NOT store oil in unit.
• The basket, divider, handle, oil container, and lid are all dishwasher safe. They may also be washed by hand with soap and water. Note that you do not need to remove the removable filters when washing lid by hand or in the dishwasher.
• Wash the metal base as needed with soap and water.
• After cleaning, reassemble the deep fryer. Ensure that all components are dry before placing them back inside the fryer. For storage, the basket handle as well as the detachable cord can be removed and stored in oil container.
• Note that the lid is fitted with a permanent metallic filter. In addition, there are two removable filters within the filter chamber that help filter oil and odors. The deep fryer comes with two replacement filters. These filters come packaged together and are not meant to be separated.
• After cleaning, reassemble the deep fryer. Ensure that all components are dry before placing them back inside the fryer. For storage, the basket handle as well as the detachable cord can be removed and stored in oil container.
