olive oil, margarine, lard or drippings.  
The oil level must always be maintained  
between the minimum marked inside the

Frying Food  
Frying Tips  
Do not mix different oils or new and  
old oil together.  
Filtering & Changing The Oil  
Always use the frying baskets to fry food.  
Always close the lid cover during frying.  
When the oil is pre-heated, ready  
indicator light will come on it indicating  
that the desired temperature is reached.  
Slowly lower the frying basket into the  
hot oil. Lowering the frying basket too  
quickly can result in the oil overflowing  
and splashing.  
Make sure the deep fryer is unplugged  
and the oil has cooled before cleaning  
or storing the deep fryer.  
Warning: In order to avoid injury or  
burns, never touch any metal parts on the  
deep fryer because they may be hot.  
Replace oil regularly. In general, oil  
will be tainted fast when frying food  
containing a lot of protein, (such as  
poultry, meat and fish). When oil is  
used mainly to fry potatoes and is  
filtered after each use, it can be used  
up to 8 to 10 times, but do not use  
the same oil for more than 6 months.  
Always replace all oil as soon as it  
starts foaming when heated or when  
color becomes dark or when it has a  
rancid smell or taste or becomes  
syrupy.  
Make sure that the food to be fried is  
dry.  
Remove loose ice from frozen food  
before frying. Rinse and pat dry.  
To cook evenly, pieces should be the  
same size and thickness.  
The oil does not need to be changed  
after each use. In general, the oil will  
be tainted rather quickly when frying  
food containing a lot of protein (such  
as poultry, meat or fish). When oil is  
mainly used to fry potatoes and is  
filtered after each use, it can be used 8  
to 10 times. However, do not use the  
same oil for longer than 6 months.  
To filter the oil first make sure the oil  
has cooled and then empty the oil from  
the oil container into another container  
or bottle. Fig. 7  
Pre-heating the oil will take up to 15  
minutes depending on the temperature  
selected.  
The temperature indicator light will  
come on when the temperature is set  
and the deep fryer is “on” showing that  
the heating element is in operation.  
This light goes off when the set  
temperature is reached. (Fig. 6) The  
temperature light may go on and off  
several times during frying. This  
indicates that the temperature is being  
thermostatically maintained.  
Replace the lid carefully.  
It is normal for steam to escape through  
the sides of the lid while frying.  
Avoid standing too close to the deep  
fryer while it is working.  
Warning: When opening the lid cover  
after frying, lift up the lid slightly, then wait  
to allow steam to escape before opening  
the lid completely. Keep face away from  
unit to avoid burns caused by escaping  
steam.  
Wash and dry the oil container and  
basket. Refill the oil container with the  
oil, pouring the oil through a wire  
strainer or paper filter. Fig. 8

Thicker pieces will take longer to

Warning: When you have finished frying,  
always turn the temperature setting dial to  
lowest position, turn off power switch and  
unplug the deep fryer from wall outlet. To  
avoid injury or burns, do not touch any  
metal surfaces as they are hot.  
Important: When frying frozen food  
such as French Fries in the large  
frying basket, you should not exceed  
1.25 lb. (568 gr.). For best results,  
limit quantity to 1 Lb. (454 gr.) or  
less.

Set the temperature setting dial to the  
lowest position, (turn fully counter  
clockwise.).  
Turn On/Off switch to the "OFF" position.  
Unplug the main cord from the wall  
socket.  
Lift up the lid cover slowly and wait to  
allow steam to escape before opening  
the lid cover completely.  
Lift up the frying baskets by the handle.  
Place it (them) on the oil container and  
allow the food to drain for a minute.  
Once the oil has drained from the  
frying basket, the basket may be lifted  
off and the food served.  
Do not fill the frying basket when it is  
immersed in oil.  
Place the food in the frying basket. Do  
not overfill it and never exceed the  
maximum quantities. For optimum  
results and shorter frying time, basket  
should be only 1/2 full.  
The large basket has approximately  
1.5 lb. food capacity. It will hold 3-4  
average size pieces of chicken. The  
small baskets should be filled ONLY till  
the MAX line on the fryer basket.  
Do not fill the baskets higher than the  
MAX line on the baskets with frozen  
food.  
Temperature Settings  
The following cooking times reflect only the approximate time needed to fry one  
basket 1/2 full. The exact time may be different depending on actual quantity,  
personal cooking preferences, size and thickness of pieces, etc...  
In general, use lower settings for delicate foods (vegetables, fish) and higher settings  
for frozen foods, French Fries and Chicken.

Warning: When frying foods, always  
remove the frying baskets from the deep  
fryer before filling with food because oil will  
spatter and cause burns. Be especially  
cautious when frying frozen foods.  
Caution: When frying frozen foods such as  
French Fries, you should not exceed  
1.25 Lb. (564 gr.) in the large basket. For best  
crispy results limit quantity to 1 Lb. (454 gr.).  
Clean off any ice from frozen food prior to  
frying. Failure to do so may cause fryer to  
overflow when food is placed in oil.  
Warning: Always let the deep fryer  
cool completely (approximately 2 hours)  
before cleaning or storing. Never carry or
