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.
When reassembling the unit, insert the lid vertically to ensure that the metal wire is
securely inserted into the metal bracket on the base.
caution: Do not immerse cord, plug, Power Strip or Control Panel assembly in water.
tIps F Or Dee p FryING
• Fill the unit with oil between the maximum and minimum capacity lines only.
• Do not over fill the basket. To achieve quality results deep frying food needs to be
surrounded by oil. Too much food causes the oil temperature to drop, resulting in
"soggy" food. Food should be submerged completely in the oil.
• Be sure that all ice crystals are removed from the food and food is completely dry.
Excessive water and ice can cause the oil to splatter and/or overflow.
• Coated foods (bread crumbs, batters, etc.) are best for deep frying. The coating acts as
a protective layer keeping food moist on the inside and crisp on the outside.
• For best results, defrost frozen foods for 20 minutes prior to frying.
• Fry foods at the correct temperature for best results. This will prevent burning and give
you even colored, crispy food.
• Prepackaged frozen, cooked chicken, may cook faster than uncooked food.
• For even cooking, shake basket half way through cooking cycle.
