SHORT CORD PURPOSE

Note: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord.
Longer power-supply cords or extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product; (2) the extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can  unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets. If an extension cord is used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product; (2) the extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.

POLARIZED PLUG

If this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), please follow the below instructions:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.
If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord.

NOTE:

• The oil level should  always be between the MIN and MAX level of the Oil Tank.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line as boiling oil may overflow during frying and can cause severe burns.
• Never use different types of oil at the same time as this may cause the oil to overflow.
• MAKE SURE TO ENGAGE THE SAFETY SWITCH:
  During assembly, make sure the control box is secured properly to the slots on the back of the body frame. This will properly engage the small safety switch and ensure proper activation. Otherwise the fryer will not power on.

RECIPES

BATTER VARIETY:
The following are a few quick recipes with different types of batter to use with a variety of foods to fry up in the deep fryer for a delicious meal.

• Beer Batter
  Mix together 1 ½ cups of flour and 1 ½ cups of any kind of beer in a large mixing bowl. Cover the bowl after mixing and allow the batter to sit at room temperature for approximately 3 hours. When ready to fry, dip desired food into the batter and follow the directions for frying battered foods in this booklet.

• Egg Batter
  Combine 2 egg yolks, ¾ cup of flour, 1-½ teaspoons of vegetable oil, ½ teaspoon of salt and 1 cup of milk. Mix thoroughly. Add more milk if desired to adjust the density of the mixture. When ready to fry, dip desired food into the batter and follow the directions for frying battered foods in this booklet.

• Egg Coating
  Combine 2 whole eggs with 1-½ teaspoons of vegetable and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. When ready to fry, dip desired food into the mixture and follow the directions for frying foods in this booklet.

• Extra Crispy Coating
  Beat together ½ cup milk and one whole egg in a small mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together ½ cup of flour and any of your favorite seasonings such as salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, etc. When read to fry, dip desired food into the wet mixture first, then dip into the dry flour mixture. Then follow the directions for frying foods in this booklet.

• Bread Crumb Coating
  Beat together 1 ½ teaspoons of vegetable oil and 2 egg yolks in a small mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together ½ cup of bread crumbs, 1/3 cup of flour plus any of your favorite seasonings such as salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, etc. When read to fry, dip desired food into the wet mixture first, then dip into the dry bread crumb mixture. Then follow the directions for frying foods in this booklet.

TIPS:

• Make sure food is always sliced thinly and evenly. This helps the food to be fried evenly.
• Shake off any excess flour or bread crumb coating to prevent any clumps from forming when frying.
• If you wish to use the basket when frying foods coated with batter, it is recommended to lower the basket into the hot oil first and then gently and carefully place battered foods into the oil directly. This will prevent the batter from catching and sticking to the wiring of the basket.
• Never fill the basket more than 2/3 full. In order to cook evenly, the food needs space for the frying oil to fry each side.
