Other Consumer Safety Information

This product is intended for household use only.

This product is only intended for the preparation, cooking, and serving of foods. This product is not intended for use with any nonfood materials or products.

⚠ WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

WARNING Burn Hazard.

- The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

- Serious hot-oil burns may result from a deep-fat fryer being pulled off a countertop. Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of the counter where it may be grabbed by children or become entangled with the user. Do not use a longer detachable power supply cord or extension cord.

- Hot liquid will splash if you miss the drain bracket and accidentally drop the frying basket into the hot liquid. Do not lean over the deep fryer when the lid is off.

Frying Tips

Selecting and changing the frying oil

• Use a good quality vegetable or peanut oil.
• Frying foods in butter, margarine, olive oil, or animal fat is NOT recommended because of low temperature smoke point.
  • DO NOT mix two types of oil.
• Change oil regularly to maintain optimum frying and flavor quality.
• Oil used for french fries can be used 10 to 12 times before changing if oil is filtered after each use. Oil used for food that is high in protein (such as meat or fish) should be changed more often.
• To filter oil, allow oil to completely cool. Cheesecloth or paper towels may be used as a filter to strain oil.
  • Always follow food package directions.
  • DO NOT add fresh oil to used oil.
• Always change the oil if it starts to foam when heated, when it has a strong smell or taste, or when it turns dark and/or syrupy.

Before frying

- Excess water or ice particles can cause hot oil to splatter or foam. Remove any excess water from fresh food by blotting with a paper towel. Remove any ice chunks or buildup from frozen foods.

⚠ WARNING Burn Hazard. To avoid eruptions and/or splattering hot oil, dry all fryer components thoroughly before using.

1. Lift Oil Pot from Base and pour out oil. Wipe all excess oil or oil film from Oil Pot.
2. Clean Base, Oil Pot, Basket with Handle and Lid with hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

General tips

• DO NOT use plastic utensils in hot oil.
• Season food AFTER frying.
- If food is not as crisp as desired, reduce batch size.

Disposing of oil

- Pour cool oil into its original (resealable) empty plastic bottle.

Basket usage with freshly battered foods

- Freshly battered foods should be carefully placed directly into oil. First, lower Frying Basket completely and then carefully place each piece of battered food into hot oil. Use Frying Basket to remove fried battered foods.

Storage

• Basket Handle can be disengaged and rotated into Frying Basket. Place Oil Pot in Base and then place Frying Basket and Magnetic Cord Assembly in Oil Pot.
• It is best to store all oils in refrigerator or a cool, dark, dry place for up to six months.
