Tips for Deep Frying

• Fill the unit 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.
• 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
E4
wipe the Cool-Zone Heating Element
with a damp cloth. Dry all parts
thoroughly. Your fryer is now ready to
use.
CAUTION: Do not immerse fryer, cord,
plugs or Control Panel Assembly in
water.

outside.
• Before deep frying, remove ice
crystals from food and blot dry with
a towel. Excessive water and ice can
cause the oil to splatter and/or
overflow. For best results, defrost
frozen foods for 20 minutes to
create a crispier final product.
• Fry foods at the correct temperature
for best results. This will prevent
burning and give you even colored,
crispy food.
How to Use Your Deep Fryer
NOTE: Never turn on the fryer with an
empty Oil Reservoir. Always use your
fryer on a flat, heat resistant surface.
1. Attach magnetic
end of Break-away
cord assembly
directly to the fryer
socket (See figure
2). This should be done
prior to plugging the
cord into the wall outlet.
The magnetic end
of the cord is
designed to only go on one way. Be
sure the side stating "THIS SIDE
UP" is facing up.
2. Remove lid.
3. Remove Frying Basket, pull Basket
Handle up until it
clicks into the
horizontal position
(See figure 3).
4. Make sure the Oil
Reservoir is seated

in place with the
Basket Hook on
the side opposite
the Control Panel
Assembly. The Oil
Reservoir is also
marked which side is the "Heater
Side" for proper placement. Pour
cooking oil into Oil Reservoir until
it reaches between "MIN" and
"MAX" marks inside reservoir. DO
NOT OVER OR UNDER FILL.
5. Smear a little oil on the inside of the
Viewing Window. This prevents
condensation, which impedes the view.
6. Place lid onto the unit.
7. Make sure that fryer is off and
insert plug into 120 volts AC outlet.
To turn fryer on, rotate Timer
Control Knob to ON position. The
power indicator will come on. Turn
Temperature Control Knob to
desired temperature. The Ready
Light will come on when the set
temperature is reached.
8. After oil has been preheated,
remove lid and place Frying Basket
onto Basket Hook inside Oil
Reservoir.
CAUTION: Keep the Folding Handle in
the locked position.
9. Place food inside Frying Basket (Do
not stack food). Place lid back onto
the unit. Lower Frying Basket into
Oil Reservoir.

Figure 3
times, see fry chart on page 7 or use
the recommended times in your
recipe. The signal bell will sound
when the selected cooking time has
elapsed.
11. After time is up, lift Frying Basket
and hang basket onto Basket Hook
in Oil Reservoir. To remove excess
grease and retain crispness, let food
drain in Frying Basket at least 10-20
seconds. Open lid, then lift Frying
Basket by handle and pour contents
onto plate covered with paper
towels before serving.
12. When finished cooking, shut down
fryer by rotating the Rotary Timer
to the OFF position.
