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.
wWARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This product 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.
wWARNING Burn Hazards:
• 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.
• 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 with an extension
cord.

5. Make sure fryer is turned to OFF (O).
Attach magnetic end of cord assembly to
fryer socket. Magnetic end of cord will only
go in one way. Be careful not to disturb
magnetic connection when plugging cord
into electrical outlet.
NOTE: The low magnetic force allows
the cord to “break away” which prevents unit from
accidentally being pulled off a countertop.
6. Close lid. Plug in unit. Set Thermostat to desired setting.
Preheat fryer until Ready-to-Cook Light comes on (6 to 10
minutes). For more information on temperature selection,
check food package or Frying Chart on page 10.
Ready-to-Cook Light will come on when oil has reached
preset temperature.
7. To fry unbattered food, place food in basket and proceed
with Step 8.
To fry battered foods (such as tempura batter), lower
basket into oil and then carefully place food directly
into oil. Replace lid. Proceed to Step 9.
NOTE: For best results and to ensure that food is properly
cooked, fry in a single layer. See Frying Chart on page 10.
