Caution:
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.

filling the basket with food.
Filling the Oil Container
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.
• 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 (12 cups / 2.8
liters) and the maximum (8.4 quarts / 8
liters) levels marked inside the oil
container. Check the oil level before

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Using Solid Fat
Warning: Do not put solid shortening in
the oil container or the frying basket.
• 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 tank should be
removed from the oil container and
melted in a separate pan before
reusing.
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:
• Make sure the fat is at room
temperature. If the fat is very cold, there
is a greater risk of splashing.
• Using a fork, carefully make some holes
in the fat. Make sure the lid is securely
closed while fat is melting. Set
temperature dial to 320º F (160º C).
Installing the "Control Panel With
the Heating Element" Into Place
• Lift up the control panel with heating
element. (Fig. 3)
• Insert the control panel into the
mounting boss on the deep fryer
body. (Fig. 4)

Switch ensures that the unit will not
operate unless the control panel has
been inserted into the mounting boss of

a defect. This product is fitted with a
