RESETTING THE SAFETY THERMOSTAT  
Resetting the safety thermostat may be necessary if unit will not turn on at start up  
(power switch “ON” and temperature dial set to selected temperature) or if unit  
appears to have stopped working.  
Unplug the unit from the wall electric outlet.  
Allow the unit to cool down.  
Check the oil level in your unit. If it is below the minimum level, oil should be added  
before resetting the unit and resuming cooking cycle.  
Remove the control box with heater.  
Using a narrow slotted screwdriver, press the recessed reset button on the front of the  
control box, located about midway along the mounting slide rails to the left and  
behind the heat tube.  
Replace the control box with heater onto the main body.  
 
English-3  
OPERATING THE BASKET HANDLE  
If handle is loose and not connected to the basket; hold  
handle upside down and squeeze the ends together of the  
metal rods. While squeezing, bring ends between the two  
metal loops at the front of the basket and release the ends  
allowing them to engage the loops. Now you can fold up  
the handle into the locked position. (See Figure 1)  
Lift handle from the storage position and pull back until  
handle is easily locked into position. The handle will not  
be able to be moved forward if it is locked properly.  
(See Figure 2)  
To store the basket, the basket handle can be moved back  
into the storage position by pushing the black handle  
forward until it has snapped out of the locked position.  
It will rest upside down on the basket floor. (See Figure 2)  
It is very important that you lock the handle into place  
before using the Fry Basket.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME  
Read all the sections of this fold-out manual carefully.  
Remove the fryer from the packaging.  
Open the lid by lifting up on the lid handle.  
Remove all accessories and printed documents from the basket.  
Take out the basket.  
Take out the control box (with heater) by grasping and sliding upward.  
Clean the lid, filter cover, metal mesh filter, basket, cooking pot and the main body  
with hot water, a little dishwashing liquid and a sponge or put these parts into the  
dishwasher to clean.  
Clean the heater with hot water. Never immerse the control box in water.  
Dry thoroughly, being careful not to bend wires leading to thermostat.  
FILLING THE COOKING POT WITH OIL  
Make sure the cooking pot is correctly positioned in the main body.  
Fill pot with oil. The oil level must be maintained between the minimum  
and maximum level marks indicated on the inside of the pot. Check the level before  
each use and add oil if necessary.  
For healthier, crispier fried foods, we recommend you use a good quality  
vegetable oil, pure corn oil, sunflower oil or canola oil.  
Wipe inside of viewing window with a small amount of vegetable oil to help prevent  
condensation which can obstruct your view through the window while cooking.  
PRE-HEATING  
WARNING: For your safety, do not use your fryer under wall cupboards and keep away  
from curtains and similar fittings. Never leave the appliance unattended while in use.  
This appliance is not intended to be used by children.  
During the first use, the fryer may give off a slight odor. This is normal and is due to  
the newness of the product.  
Always check before each use that the oil level is between the MINIMUM and  
MAXIMUM lines on the inside of the non-stick pot.  
Do not use the fryer without the cooking pot, without oil or with an insufficient level  
(below the minimum level).  
 
English-4  
Always unplug the fryer when not in use.  
Put the control box on the main body. Grasp the control box and slide down the tracks  
at the back of the main body. The heater will be positioned in bottom of cooking pot.  
Cover the cooking pot with the lid. Make sure filter is in place.  
Attach magnetic cord to back of control box and plug into outlet. The proper position  
is with the cord angled upward where it attaches at the control box. The cord is held  
in place magnetically. Turn on the power switch on the control box.  
The power indicator red light will come on.  
Turn the thermostat knob to the desired frying temperature. (265°F, 300°F, 340°F, 375°F)  
The amber pre-heat indicator light will come on.  
When the oil temperature has risen to the desired setting, the amber pre-heat  
indicator light will go out. Pre-heating takes approximately 10-12 minutes.  
Fill the basket with food. DO NOT FILL THE BASKET MORE THAN 2/3 FULL  
FROM BOTTOM OF BASKET.  
FRYING FOODS  
Remove lid by grasping the cool touch handle and slowly lower  
the basket with food into the oil and begin to fry the food.  
WARNING: Do not touch any metal parts of the fryer as  
they may be hot.  
Replace the lid on the cooking pot.  
Always use the basket to fry foods.  
The preheat indicator light will cycle on and off during use.  
FRYING POSITION  
NOTE: During frying, you may hear a slight clicking noise.  
This is normal.  
AT THE END OF THE COOKING TIME  
When the frying time is up, lift the basket up slowly and  
out of the oil. Place the basket support clip (at the base of  
the basket handle) onto the Basket-hook in the cooking pot  
to allow excess oil to drain from the food.  
DRAINING POSITION  
Let the food drain for a minute, remove basket and lay  
food out onto a paper towel lined baking sheet to allow  
any remaining oil to drain away.  
For best results, if you are frying more than one load,  
you will want to give the oil a chance to heat up to the  
proper temperature before placing another load into  
the fryer. The pre-heat indicator light will go out.  
Always turn off the power switch and turn the  
adjustable temperature dial all the way to the left, or  
until you hear a click, or the preheat light goes out.  
Unplug the deep fryer when you have finished frying.  
Let the fryer cool completely (1 to 2 hours) before  
storing or cleaning.  
BASKET HOOK  
Never carry or move the deep fryer with hot oil inside.  
FILTERING AND CHANGING THE OIL  
Make sure the fryer is unplugged and the oil has cooled down before cleaning  
or storing your fryer.  
 
English-5  
The oil does not need to be changed after each use. On average, oil can be used for 8 to  
12 uses. You will need to change it more often when frying fish or heavily battered foods.  
We recommend filtering the oil if you see any food debris left in the oil or on the  
bottom of the pot. You may do this by performing the following:  
Remove the basket. Carefully pour the clear oil into another large pot or saucepan  
(minimum of 3 to 5 liters), leaving food debris in bottom of cooking pot. Discard this  
small amount of oil with food debris.  
HOW  
T
O
CLEAN  
Prior to washing, wipe oil residue and food debris from cooking pot with paper towels.  
Wipe heater with dry paper towels until it is free from oily residue. Take care not to  
bend thermostat wires on heater.  
To clean the control box and heater, use a damp dishcloth that has been dipped in  
water and mild dish soap. Completely wipe down all parts of the control box. Wipe  
off all residual dish soap with a damp cloth. Do not reassemble the deep fryer until  
all the parts are thoroughly dry.  
To remove metal mesh filter, push back on filter cover locking tab and lift up on cover.  
Clean the lid, filter cover, metal mesh filter, basket, bowl and the main body with hot  
water, a little dishwashing liquid and a sponge or put these parts into the dishwasher  
to clean. The filter can be soaked in warm water with dishwashing liquid. Be sure to  
rinse well and allow to dry completely.  
Place the bowl as vertically as possible in the dishwasher, while ensuring it will not  
hinder the spray arms. Dry thoroughly before reassembling all parts.  
STORING YOUR APPLIANCE  
Do not store appliance that still contains oil in the oil tank or that has not been  
cleaned and dried thoroughly.  
For best results in storing your appliance, fold fry basket handle back into basket,  
also, place the control box on the stainless steel base and oil tank.  
Store metal mesh filter under filter cover on lid.  
Store in a dry area. Unit can be stored in its box. Do not place heavy items on top  
of the deep fryer or the box, as this could result in damage to your appliance.
