Frying Tips
Filtering & Changing The Oil
Using for the First Time
Warning: Never immerse the control
• Do not mix different oils or new and
old oil together.
• Make sure the deep fryer is unplugged
and the oil has cooled before cleaning
or storing the deep fryer.
panel in water or any other liquids.
Warning: Never plug in the control panel
when it is not installed in the fryer body
with heating element in the oil container.
Do not immerse the control panel, cord or
plug in water.
• 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.
Warning: All components must be
completely dried before filling with oil
or using. Special care must be taken
to ensure the washable oil filter in the
lid is completely dry, otherwise the
filter will not function properly and may
lead to steam being trapped within the
fryer during use.
• 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
Warning: This unit should not be used
to boil water.
Prior To First Use, Clean The Unit
Thoroughly
Warning: Never exceed "MAX" line when
filling the basket with food.
Warning: Always let the fryer cool
completely for 2 hours before taking it apart
for cleaning. Never carry or move the
Deep Fryer with hot oil inside. Before
cleaning, always make sure the magnetic
power plug is not in the wall socket.
Filling the Stainless Steel Container
With Oil
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
Warning: Never plug in the Deep Fryer
before filling with oil to specified level.
Always make sure control panel is
securely in place in the body and the
heating element is inside the oil in the
container before plugging in.
• All components with the exception of the
electrical parts, can be washed in warm
soapy water. Dry thoroughly before use.
• Use basket handles to remove the
frying baskets. Always make sure the
basket handles are securely attached to
the basket. To attach the handles to the
frying baskets, insert the metal part of
the handle inside the metal bracket on
the frying basket. Lift the handle up over
the basket to secure in place.
• Thicker pieces will take longer to
cook.
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.
• Use blended vegetable oil, pure corn oil
or canola (rapeseed) oil. Do not use
olive oil, margarine, lard or drippings.
• The oil level must always be maintained
between the minimum marked inside the
oil container. Maximum oil capacity is 21
cups (5 liters). Check the oil level before
each use. For best results, keep the oil
close to the maximum level (21 cups/5
liters). Fig. 2

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.
(Fig. 1)
• Lift the control panel with heating
element out of its slots by pushing it up
from the bottom with one hand while
holding the body of the deep fryer with
your other hand.
• Never mix different oils and fats together.
Do not mix old and new oil.

Frying Food
Using Solid Fat
Warning: Do not put solid shortening in
the oil container or the frying basket.
Pre-Heating (cont.)
• 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.
• 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: In order to avoid injury or
burns, never touch any metal parts on the
deep fryer because they may be hot.
• If using solid vegetable shortening, melt
it first in a separate pan and then very
carefully pour the melted fat into the oil
container.
• Previously used solid vegetable
shortening which has curdled and
hardened in the oil container should be
removed from the oil container and
melted in a separate pan before reusing.
• 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.
Fig. 4
Warning: If you try to melt the solidified
fat in the oil container, there is a risk of
warm melted fat suddenly sputtering from
below through the still solid top layer of fat.
Therefore use only the following procedure:
Control Panel
