When the cooking period is over, carefully remove the deep fryer lid,
5.
lifting it up
away from you to allow the steam to escape before removing the lid
completely.
Fig. 5
Keep your face away from the top of the appliance to avoid burns

caused by escaping steam.
Turn the temperature control to the "MIN" position and remove the plug
7.
from the
electrical wall outlet.
Lift up the frying basket by the handle and place it on the hook to allow the
8.
oil to drain.
(Fig. 5)
Once the oil has drained from the frying basket, the basket may be lifted off
9.
and the food served or placed in a dish.
WARNING: Always let the deep fryer cool completely (approximately 2 hours) before
cleaning or storing. Never carry or move the appliance with hot oil inside. CAUTION: The
metal surfaces of the deep fryer become hot during use.
Do not touch the sides of the appliance while it is use.
FRYING TIPS
• Always use the frying basket to fry food.
• Always close the lid during frying.
• When the oil is pre-heated, the ready indicator light will on，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.
• Do not mix different oils or new and old oil together.
• 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.
