4. This appliance is not intended to be used by children. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
5. Do not leave the appliance unattended while in use.
6. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.

2. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a longer extension cord is used:
   1. a. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
   2. b. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over unintentionally.
      

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance follows the instructions below: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

2. Remove all packaging materials and make sure items are received in good condition.
3. Tear up and discard all plastic bags as they can pose a risk to children.
4. Wash accessories and enameled oil pan in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. The heating element can be immersed in water, but never immerse the electrical unit. Dry the heating element thoroughly before use.
5. Wipe the body clean with a damp cloth.
6. Place the deep fryer on a level, stable, and heat-resistant surface.

ASSEMBLING THE DEEP FRYER

The automatic safety switch ensures that the unit will not operate unless the fryer control has been inserted correctly into the stainless steel base. Slide the guides on the fryer control onto the guides on the back end of the stainless steel base (Fig. B & D). This will activate the automatic safety switch (Fig. C). If you plug your appliance into the electric outlet but the unit does not have power (the power indicator light does not illuminate), unplug the appliance from the electric outlet and then remove the magnetic plug from the appliance. Remove the fryer control from the base and reassemble it correctly. Your deep fryer is also equipped with a safety thermostat that will automatically shut down the unit in the event that it overheats. If your “Resetting the Safety appliance overheats.

RESETTING THE SAFETY THERMOSTAT

This deep fryer has been designed to include a sensor that will automatically shut down the unit if it overheats. This situation may occur if the oil is old, too thick, or if there is not enough oil in the enameled tank. To reset the unit, follow the instructions below.

1. Turn the unit off. Unplug the unit from the electric outlet and then remove the magnetic plug from the back of the control.
2. Allow the unit to cool completely.
3. Correct the oil situation in your appliance by adding oil or changing the oil as stated above.
4. Reassemble the unit and continue cooking.

Oil Level and Maintenance:

Before plugging the unit into the electric outlet, always make sure that the oil is at least at the minimum marking on the inside of the enameled oil pan. If oil is not filled to at least the minimum level (14 cups), the unit may overheat. Do not fill the oil over the maximum line (20 cups).

Oil Selection:

1. We recommend the following oils for healthier deep-frying: canola, corn, safflower, or soybean.
2. We do not recommend frying with animal fats as they are more prone to deteriorate under high heat. Heavily flavored oils such as extra virgin olive oil should also be avoided.
3. We do not recommend mixing old and new oil together as this taints the new oil.
4. The number of times that the frying oil can be reused depends on the food that is fried in it. For example, when foods that leave a residual flavor (such as fish) are fried frequently, the oil will need to be replaced more often.

NOTE: When reusing oil, it is recommended that you strain the oil to remove food particles. Use a mesh strainer over a bowl to separate food particles from the oil. For best results, you can line the mesh strainer with two layers of cheesecloth. Once the oil is strained, place it in a container that can be sealed tightly and store it in the refrigerator. ONLY AFTER THE OIL HAS COMPLETELY COOLED.

It is important to replace the oil if you notice any of the following: An unpleasant odor.

• Excessive smoking when heating the oil.
• The oil is dark in color.
• Oil has been stored for a long period of time.

ASSEMBLING THE BASKET HANDLES

Your basket handles will come assembled on the two small baskets. You will need to attach the handle to the large basket and lock the small basket handles in place before use:

Large Basket

• Squeeze handle prongs together
• and slip the handle prong wings through the handle prong wing slots. Pull the handle back toward you,
• squeezing and rotating slightly from one side to the other to lock the handle prongs into place.

Small Basket

• Pull the handle back toward you,
• squeezing and rotating slightly from one side to the other side to lock the handle prongs into place. To remove the handle for cleaning and
• storage, simply reverse this process.

Magnetic Cord Instructions:

This stainless steel deep fryer has been specially designed with a “breakaway” cord, making deep frying safer than ever. The magnetic plug will only attach to the appliance in one direction. The plug is clearly The bottom of the plug also has a notch, which “This Side Up.” marked will prevent you from attaching the plug the wrong way. The magnets on the plug and appliance automatically make the connection.

Should you accidentally move or tug on the power cord while in use, it will automatically pull away from the appliance, breaking the connection and preventing the hot oil tank from tipping over. DO NOT place the appliance on top of the cord or run the cord around the unit. This will prevent the magnetic cord from detaching easily if the cord is accidentally tugged on. Always attach the magnetic plug to the appliance first and then to the wall outlet. After use, unplug from the wall outlet first, and then remove the magnetic plug from the appliance.

COOKING GUIDE & USES

Preheat Oil:

1. Make sure that the fryer is unplugged.

3. Attach the magnetic plug to the appliance and then plug the cord into the electric outlet. The power light will illuminate.
4. The LCD display will flash 00:00. Press the “On/Off” button and the default temperature of 375°F will show up on the LCD screen. The green “Heat” light will illuminate to indicate that the oil is heating to 375°F.
5. Use the up or down buttons to program the proper temperature. Temperatures can be set from 300°F to 375°F in 5°F increments.
6. Press the Time/Temp button once you have selected the desired temperature.
7. After the temperature has been selected, time will automatically go to the default time of 10:00, which will show up on the LCD screen. Use the up or down buttons to program the proper time setting. Time can be set between 2 minutes and 30 minutes in 30-second increments. 8. When oil is preheated, you will hear three beeps and the green “Heat” light will flash.

Frying:

1. For foods that are not coated with batter, place them directly in the basket. Be sure not to fill the basket more than ½ full. Overfilling will cause food to cook improperly and may cause the oil to bubble over.
2. Lower the basket carefully into the oil.
3. For foods coated with batter, first, lower the basket into the oil and gently place foods directly into the oil. This will prevent the food coated with batter from sticking to the bottom of the basket.
4. Replace the lid securely.
5. The display will default back to the temperature reading. To check the time, press the time/temperature control once.
6. When the programmed time has run its course, you will hear three beeps. The LCD display will read 00:00. Lift the basket up out of the oil and place it on the drain hooks to allow excess oil to drain away. If another batch of the same food is desired, press the On/Off button once to repeat the previous setting and repeat steps 1-5. If you wish to discontinue frying, unplug the cord from the electric outlet and then remove the magnetic end from the unit.
7. Carefully remove the fried food from the basket. Be cautious of the hot oil that may be spatter from the frying pot.
8. To turn off the deep fryer, unplug it from the electric outlet.
9. Allow the oil to cool completely before moving or cleaning the appliance (3-4 hours).
