BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Remove all packaging materials and any promotional labels or
stickers from your deep fryer. Be sure all parts (listed above, Parts
and Features) of your new appliance have been included before
discarding any packaging materials. You may want to keep the box
and packing materials for use at a later date.
Before using your Cuisinart
™
Compact Deep Fryer for the first time,
remove any dust from shipping by wiping the base with a moist
cloth. Thoroughly clean the bowl, lid, and basket. The lid and
basket are dishwasher-safe. Never immerse the appliance in water;
water must not be allowed to penetrate the interior of the
appliance.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place base on a clean, flat surface
where you intend to cook.
2. To properly attach the handle to
the basket, squeeze together both
ends of the handle and insert both
ends into the bracket holes (Figure
1). Keeping ends in bracket holes,
gently release grip. Firmly pull back
handle to snap into position (Figure
2).
3. Make sure unit is turned to Min at thermostat
dial.
4. Connect the magnetic power cord
to the unit. See Figure 3.
5. Add recommended amount of oil. Never operate fryer without
oil reaching the fill line.
6. Plug the cord into a standard electrical outlet.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Once the deep fryer is assembled properly and you are ready to
begin frying:
1. Pour fresh oil into the bowl up to the oil fill level (1 Liter). The oil
fill level is indicated on the bowl.
2. See assembly instructions regarding power cord. Always attach
cord to fryer before plugging into standard electrical outlet.
3. Turn the temperature knob clockwise to the recommended
temperature setting.
4. After approximately 8-10 minutes, the ready light will turn on
when the desired frying temperature has been reached. If food
was previously frozen, remove as many of the ice crystals as
possible. Place food in the basket in a single layer with space
between them. Gently submerge basket in hot oil to begin frying.
5. We recommend keeping the lid on during frying.
6. Once the food is done, raise the basket and hook it onto the
bowl rim to drain oil.
7. As soon as oil has drained, remove the basket and place food
on a plate lined with paper towels.
WARNING
Never turn on unit without oil in the bowl.
Never fill the fryer above the fill line – it may cause hot oil to
overflow while frying.
Do not use the Compact Deep Fryer when the oil is below
the fill line.
The Compact Deep Fryer should be connected to power
supply only after it has been filled with oil.
NEVER HEAT IT UP WHILE EMPTY! If this occurs, the
thermal-cutoff will automatically shut off power.
Dry all ingredients well before adding to the hot oil. Do not
overcrowd foods in the deep fryer when frying.
