TIPS FOR DEEP FRYING • • • • • • • • Fill the unit with oil between the maximum and minimum capacity lines only. Do not over fill the basket.
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 Figure 1 assembly directly to the fryer. 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 facing up (See Figure 1). 2. Open Lid by pressing the Open Lid Button. 3.
USING YOUR DEEP FRYER (CONT.) WARNING: DO NOT USE SureRELEASE™ POWER CORD SYSTEM TO DISCONNECT THE FRYER. ALWAYS DISCONNECT PLUG FROM WALL OUTLET FIRST TO DISCONNECT FRYER. Use only Model #PL1215 magnetic cord set with this product. The use of any other magnetic cord set may cause fire, electric shock, or injury. CAUTION: The SureRELEASE™ Power Cord is only for accidental disconnection and is not to be removed during normal operation.
CARE AND CLEANING (CONT.) 8. Carefully pour oil into an airtight container. See Tips for Oil Use and Storage. NOTE: Do not remove oil until the Deep Fryer has cooled completely. 9. Wipe the Oil Reservoir with paper towels to absorb excess grease. Wash with hot soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. CAUTION: Never immerse the fryer in water or wash in running water. 10. A Removable Condensation Tray is located on the back of the Fryer.
REPLACING AND CLEANING FILTERS (CONT.) replace every 3 months or after 12 uses. 4. Clean the inside of the cover with a damp soapy sponge. Rinse and dry thoroughly. 5. Insert clean white Grease Filter on the bottom of Lid, followed by black Charcoal Odor Filter, then replace Filter Cover. NOTE: For replacement charcoal odor or grease filters, order through our website at www.rivalproducts.com or by calling us at 800-557-4825.
TIPS FOR OIL USE AND STORAGE • • • • • • • 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) because these oils have a high smoke point. Peanut oil is not recommended because it impacts the flavor greatly. Oils should never be mixed when deep frying. High heat, water and burnt food particles break down the oil’s smoke point.
