BEFORE FIRST USE
• Remove all packaging materials prior to use.
• Removable parts should be rinsed with hot water and dried prior to use.
CAUTION: never immerse power cord or control box/ heating elements of the
dryer into any liquids.
• Place on a leveled surface, away from external heat sources or flammables.
• Fill with proper oil amounts prior to use. Make sue the fryer remains unplugged
prior to the appliance’s complete setup.
• You may wipe the inner chamber of the viewing window with a hint of oil to
prevent condensation during use.
• Check the temperature control and timer dials so that they’re in the OFF position
before operating.
• Plug the power cord into an available outlet.
• Select the desired temperature and timer settings using the designated dials.
The indicator light should turn o once the desired temperature is reached.
OIL AND FOOD APPLICATION
• To reduce oil splatter, Lower the basket slowly into oil. If oil starts to rise within
the tank, lift the fryer basket and allow oil to settle before lowering food slowly
into the oil once again.
• Fill the oil to the appropriate capacity, 2.5 liters at the minimum, not exceeding 4
liters in total.
• When frying frozen foods, remove ice particles and thaw properly. Make sure
foods are as dry as possible prior to frying and refrain from adding water or ice,
since they may cause hot oil to splatter.
• If reusing oil, strain first to remove settled food particles.
• Replace oil immediately if:
1-Unpleasant odor is emitted.
2-Excessive smoke emittance occurs during heating.
3-Oil turns dark in color.
4-Oil has been stored for prolonged time periods.
• Routinely replace oil after every 10-15 uses.
• When frying cycle is complete, turn the temperature and timer dials to the OFF
position and unplug the fryer.
• Remove the fryer lid and place the fryer basket using the designated hook to
allow the excess oil to accumulate in the oil tank.
CAUTION: Removing the fryer lid causes the release of hot steam which can
cause severe burns.
OIL TANK
• Refrain from storing oil in the tank while the control with element are still
assembled.
• Allow the oil to cool completely prior to attempting to clean or store oil.
• Remove the control with element and set on paper towel atop a cookie
sheet. The element will still contain oil residue at that time.
• Carefully lift the oil tank out of the stainless base.
• Do not place oil in the refrigerator while still contained in the oil tank with
its control panel in place. Never place the appliance in your refrigerator.
Instead, remove oil and store in a tightly sealed container prior to
refrigerating.

Change the oil filter every 12 months.
Filter replacement instructions:
1. Unclip and remove the filter cover.
2. Remove both, black and white, filter parts.
3. Discard old filters and replace with new ones. Make sure the white filter
piece rests into the metal surface directly below the (black) carbon filter.
