PREPARING YOUR DEEP FRYER FOR USE Prior to first use, remove all packaging materials from the exterior and interior of the fryer. Make sure the fryer is unplugged. Wash the Frying Basket and removable Oil Reservoir in hot soapy water. Gently wipe the Cool Zone Heating Element with a damp cloth. Dry all parts thoroughly. See CARE AND CLEANING section. CAUTION: Do not immerse cord, plug, Power Strip or Control Panel assembly in water.
USING YOUR DEEP FRYER NOTE: Never turn on the fryer with an empty Oil Reservoir. Always use your fryer on a flat, heat resistant surface. 1. Attach magnetic end of SureRELEASE™ cord assembly directly to the fryer. (See Fig. 1) This should be done prior to plugging the cord into the wall outlet. The magnetic end of the cord is designed only to go on one way. Be sure the side stating “THIS SIDE UP” is Figure 1 facing up. 2. Open Lid by pressing the Open Lid button. 3.
USING YOUR DEEP FRYER (CONT.) CAUTION: Always close the Lid before immersing food in oil. Do not immerse or drain food with the lid removed or open. 12. Turn timer knob to desired time. For cooking times, see chart on page 10, or use the recommended times in your recipe. 13. After time is up, a bell will sound. The fryer will switch OFF and begin to cool. Raise basket handle (lock in the horizontal position) to lift food out of the oil.
CARE AND CLEANING WARNING: Always turn control to OFF then disconnect plug from wall outlet BEFORE disconnecting SureRELEASETM CORD. CAUTION: • Do not immerse the cord set in water or any other liquids. • Do not attempt to defeat the detachable magnetic SureRELEASE™ Cord system by trying to permanently attach cord set to product. • Do not stick pins or other sharp objects in holes on magnetic cord set. • Do not use any type of steel wool to clean magnetic contacts.
CARE AND CLEANING (CONT.) 11. The Lid, Filter Cover, Frying Basket, Oil Reservoir, Condensation Trap and Housing are all dishwasher safe. Dry all parts thoroughly after cleaning. 12. The Control Panel and Power Strip should never be immersed in water or other liquids. Gently clean the outer surface of the Control Panel with a damp cloth containing mild soap solution or plain water. 13. Ensure that both the Lid and Oil Reservoir are completely dry after washing and before use. 14.
FRYING TIME AND TEMPERATURE The frying times in this chart are a guide and should be adjusted to suit the different quantities or thickness of food and to suit your own taste. Preheat time is 7-10 minutes for fryer to reach desired temperature (Ready light will cycle On/Off during frying as temperature fluctuates due to food load). TEMP.
TIPS FOR OIL USE AND STORAGE NOTE: Do not use seasoned or flavored oil such as walnut, olive oil, lard or drippings because they have a low smoke point. Use blended vegetable oil, pure corn oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil or grape seed oil (canola oil). These oils are safe for using in your deep fryer as they have a high smoke point. Peanut oil is not recommended because it greatly impacts the flavor. • Oils should never be mixed when deep frying.
