3. Add 28 oz. (800 mL) of oil into oil reservoir. Use quality vegetable, peanut or soy
oil. Ensure the oil level is between the MIN and MAX markings of the oil reservoir.
NEVER USE THE FRYER WITHOUT OIL. THE FRYER WILL BE DAMAGED AND THE
WARRANTY WILL BE VOIDED, IF HEATED DRY.
4. Place the lid on the fryer and set temperature to the MIN setting of the
temperature control.
5. Connect the magnetic end of the cord into the fryer socket (see the instructions
on page 1 "Safety Release Power Cord").
6. Connect cord plug into the wall outlet.
7. Adjust the temperature control to the desired temperature. The indicator light will
turn on. Preheat until the light goes out and begins to turn on and off, this will
show the oil is maintained at the set temperature.
8. Prepare the food to be cooked. Cut food into uniform size pieces for even
cooking. Pat food dry before cooking. NOTE: To avoid possible burn injury, do not
add wet food or food with ice crystals to cooking oil, this may cause oil to splatter
or foam.
9. Open the lid by pressing lid release button.
10. Place food to be cooked in the basket. NOTE: Do not exceed 2/3 of the basket
capacity. If using frozen food, do not use more than 1/2 the basket capacity.
11. Using handle, lower the basket slowly into the oil.
12. Close the lid. The basket handle will fit into the grooves of the lid. Lid will stay
closed if basket handle is in proper position.
13. When cooking is finished, turn the control knob to the 'MIN' position and remove
plug from wall outlet. Press lid release button to open the lid. Keep away to avoid
escaping steam. Lift basket and place the support hooks of basket onto the edge
of the oil reservoir and allow food to drain.
14. Remove food from basket and place onto several layers of absorbent paper.
Please note that these cooking times are only a guide and the exact cooking time will depend on the size
of pieces being cooked and starting temperature of the food.
