IMPORTANT CORD AND PLUG INFORMATION

A short detachable power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
DO NOT USE WITH AN EXTENSION CORD.
Do not allow the cord to run underneath or around the unit. The magnetic cord may not detach easily if the cord is positioned in this fashion.
Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.

Before First Use

Become familiar with the various parts of the deep fryer (Fig.
A) and read the instructions carefully.
Open the deep fryer cover by lifting either of the cover
handles (Fig. A). Remove the fry basket, magnetic cord, and
any packaging material from the deep fryer. Wipe the basket,
cover, and the interior of the fryer body with a damp cloth.
Never immerse the fryer in water or other liquid, or wash
in a dishwasher. Always make sure all parts are completely
dry before using the fryer.

Important Safety Information

WARNING! Burn Hazards
Hot oil can cause serious and painful burns. Close super-
vision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
Oil and water do not mix. The combination can be dan-
gerous. Accordingly, before pouring oil into a fryer be sure
that the fryer and all parts are COMPLETELY DRY. In
addition, before placing food in deep fryer, always remove
ice crystals and excess moisture from food by patting dry
with paper towels. When the oil is heated, any water droplets in the oil superheat, becoming a volatile steam that can cause hot oil to
spatter, boil over, or even erupt out of the deep fryer.
Uncooked potatoes contain a high percentage of moisture and extreme caution must be used when frying. Follow the special instruc-
tions in steps 10 and 13 of the “How to Use” section (page 3), in the timetable, and in the Homemade French Fries recipe (page 5).
Use caution when frying doughs, such as beignets, donuts, dumplings, hushpuppies, and fritters. These foods may develop air bubbles
during heating, which may burst and cause burns. Use a slotted spoon or tongs, rather than a fork, to turn food during frying and to
remove food from oil.
Use caution when frying flour tortillas. Flour tortillas contain air bubbles. During frying, oil can become trapped within these bubbles.
If not properly drained, the bubbles can burst and cause burns. Accordingly, after frying, carefully raise the tortillas out of the oil and
allow to drain for approximately 30 seconds.
WARNING! Electrical Hazards
To avoid the risk of electrocution or severe disguring electrical burns:
• Do not let the cord or plug come in contact with water or other liquid.
Do not let children handle or put electrical cords or plugs in their mouths.

Important Fryer Guidelines

Use deep fryer only on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from the edge.
Use vegetable oils, such as peanut, canola, corn, sunflower, soybean, and light olive oil, which can withstand high temperatures required
for deep frying. Do not use extra virgin olive oil or other vegetable oils as they deteriorate at temperatures below those required for
deep frying. Deep frying foods in butter, margarine, or animal fat is not recommended because they have lower smoking temperatures.
Avoid preheating oil longer than necessary and unplug the fryer once the last batch of food has been removed. The longer the oil is heated,
the more it deteriorates.
Always remove plug from wall outlet and then from deep fryer when unit is not in use.
Always allow fryer to cool completely before removing oil and before cleaning.
