While oil is heating:

A. Prepare food for cooking, making sure to remove excess moisture from food by blotting with toweling — moist foods cause

excess foaming, spattering, and/or overflow.

B. Assemble basket handle for frying, see page 3.

To insure against accidental detachment of handle from basket during use, always make sure both pegs are in the bracket

holes and the handle bars are in the brackets (Fig. C and D, page 3).

C. Place basket on countertop and fill basket up to ⅔ full with food. For raw fries, only fill basket ½ full.

Note: The black cover vents may expand and appear to change shape when the fryer is heating. When the cover cools, the

vents will contract and appear to return to their original position. Both the expansion and contraction are normal.

When the selected temperature is reached, the red light will go out, the green light will come on, and the unit will beep five times.

The unit is now ready to cook food.

the opposite side of the basket handle. Now start the timer by pressing the Time Start/Cancel button on the control panel (Fig. G).

The unit will beep once and the display will begin to count down. you will notice the second digits as well as the minute digits

will now be displayed.

15. Lift up slightly on the basket handle to disengage the drain hooks. Then slowly lower the filled basket into the preheated oil until

the bottom of the basket rests on top of the heating element. If frying french fries or other high moisture foods, immediately

remove cover after lowering basket into oil.

For crisper foods, fry without the cover.

warning: To prevent the risk of severe personal injury or property damage, use caution when cooking with hot oil.

It is normal for steam to escape from the cover vents during frying. To prevent steam burns, keep hands and face away

from the vents.

When frying time has elapsed, the unit will start beeping. The timer will immediately begin to count up to show how much time

has elapsed since the timer sounded. Press the Time Start/Cancel button to stop the beeping and count-up time and reset to zero.

17.

Check that the food is golden brown. If additional cooking time is needed, set the timer for additional time.
