How To Use for Frying
Position base on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface
in center of countertop.
Note: The appliance will only operate when both
guides are properly positioned in the tracks.
Important: The magnetic cord was designed to detach easily from the fryer. As a result, if it is bumped or
touched during use it could possibly detach causing the unit to stop heating. Avoid contact with cord during
operation. If contact occurs, verify that the cord is still properly connected.
Always make sure fryer and cord are out of reach of children.
Note:
If frying french fries
or other high moisture foods, immediately remove cover after lowering basket into oil.
Note:
Warning: To prevent the risk of severe personal injury or property damage, use caution when cooking with
hot oil.
Caution: 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.
