Important Fryer Guidelines
◆ Use deep fryer only on a dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant
surface away from countertop edge.
◆ Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used
by or near children. Hot oil can cause serious and painful
burns.
◆ To avoid the risk of electrocution or severe disfiguring
electrical burns, do not let children handle or put electrical
cords or plugs in their mouths.
◆ To avoid the risk of electrocution or electrical burns, do not
let the cord or plug come in contact with water or other liquid.
◆ Use only a good, reliable standard brand of vegetable
shortening or cooking oil for deep frying. Deep frying foods
in butter, margarine, olive oil, or animal fat is not
recommended because of lower smoking temperatures.
◆ Before deep frying, remove excess moisture from food by
blotting with toweling—moist foods cause excess foaming
and spattering. Do not add wet food to cooking oil. Even
small amounts of water or liquid may cause the oil to spatter.
◆ Use caution when deep frying flour tortillas. Flour tortillas
contain air bubbles. During deep frying, oil can become
trapped within these bubbles. If not properly drained, the
bubbles can burst and cause burns. Therefore, after deep
frying tortillas, carefully raise them out of the cooking oil
and allow oil to drain from the tortillas for approximately 30
seconds.
◆ Always unplug cord from wall outlet and then from deep
fryer when unit is not in use.
◆ Always allow fryer to cool completely before removing
divider and oil and before cleaning.

Instructions
This is a
Listed appliance. The following important
safeguards are recommended by most portable appliance
manufacturers.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage, when
using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles.
3. To protect against electrical shock or burns, do not immerse
unit, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used
by or near children.
5. Do not let children handle or put electrical cords or plugs in
their mouths.
6. Always attach magnetic plug end to appliance first, then plug
cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, remove plug from
wall outlet, then from appliance.
7. Always insert divider in deep fryer before heating oil.
8. Unplug cord from outlet and deep fryer when not in use and
before cleaning. Allow to cool before removing divider,
before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the
appliance.
9. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug
or in the event the appliance malfunctions or has been
damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the Presto
Factory Service Department or to the nearest Presto
Authorized Service Station for examination, repair, or
electrical or mechanical adjustment.
10. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the
appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
11. Do not use outdoors.
12. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch
hot surfaces.
13. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a
heated oven.
14. It is recommended that this fryer not be moved when it
contains hot oil or other hot liquid. If it must be moved when
it contains hot oil or other hot liquid, use extreme caution.
15. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

How To Use
Before using for the first time, wash interior of unit, divider, and
scoop with warm, sudsy water and dry thoroughly. Never
immerse unit in water or other liquid, or wash in dishwasher.
1. Remove plastic cover. Unit must be cool before cover can
be replaced for storage of oil.
2. Check the rubber pads on the bottom of the fryer before each
use to be sure they are free of oil or other debris. Wipe pads
with warm, soapy water if necessary. Then dry thoroughly.
3. Place deep fryer on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heatresistant surface in center of countertop.
4. If you want to fry two foods at once and keep them separate
when frying, use the divider. Place the divider into the deep
fryer prior to adding oil or plugging the unit in. If you want
to fry big batches or large pieces of chicken or fish, do not
use the divider.
To insert the divider, grasp the top (arched portion) and center
the divider between the guides on the inside of the deep fryer.
Lower the divider into the deep fryer until it touches the

the guides.
5. If frying big batches, fill unit
with cooking oil or shortening up to oil level line, which
is located on inside of unit
(Fig. A). Never use more than
eight, 8-ounce cups of cooking oil or 4 pounds of shortening. If frying smaller batches,

of the fryer base (Fig. B).
When properly aligned, the plug will magnetically attach
itself to the appliance. For proper connection, the magnetic
plug end must be parallel with the countertop (Fig. C).
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.

Correct
Position

Fig. C

1. Unplug cord from wall outlet and then from deep fryer. Then,
allow oil and fryer to cool completely in a safe place.
2. After unit and oil have cooled completely, cover fryer with
storage lid, or remove divider if it was used and empty
cooking oil.
3. Wash unit, divider, and scoop with warm water and mild
detergent, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Never immerse unit in
water or other liquid, or wash in dishwasher.
4. Do not use steel wool scouring pads or abrasive kitchen
cleaners on the nonstick finish.
5. Occasionally clean the interior of unit with a commercial
cleanser designed for nonstick surfaces, such as dip-it
destainer*. Follow manufacturer’s directions.
6. Periodically check the screws on the two handles to be sure
they are tight. Retighten, if necessary, with a standard slotted
screwdriver. CAUTION: Overtightening can result in
stripping of screws or cracking of handles.
7. Store the cord in a clean, dry location away from metal
objects. Always check the magnetic plug before use to assure
metal items have not become attached.

Helpful Hints
◆ If unit fails to preheat or if the cooking process stops, check
cord assembly to assure plug is properly attached to the
appliance (see Fig. C previous column).
◆ When using the fryer for the first time, a slight odor or light
smoking may occur as manufacturing residue evaporates.
This is normal during initial use.
◆ Before deep frying, remove excess moisture or ice crystals
from food by blotting with toweling. Moist foods cause
excess foaming and spattering.
◆ When preparing your favorite recipes, fry 1 to 8 cups food,
in unit, at a time. If too much food is fried at the same time,
the food will not get crisp.
◆ For breading or coating foods, use commercial breading,
finely ground bread or cracker crumbs, corn meal, a mixture
of corn meal and flour, pancake mix, or prepared bread mixes.
◆ Use only metal utensils in fryer, such as the scoop provided,
as plastic or rubber will become damaged from the hot oil.
◆ After each use, strain oil through a filter or a double thickness
of cheesecloth to remove accumulated residue.
◆ It is time to replace the cooking oil if any of the following
occur:
The oil is dark in color.
The oil has an unpleasant odor.
The oil smokes when it is heated.
The oil foams excessively during frying.

Incorrect
Position

For proper connection, the magnetic plug
end must be parallel with the countertop.

Avoid contact with cord during operation. If contact occurs,
verify that the cord is still properly connected.
7. Plug cord into a 120 volt wall outlet. The unit is now “ON”
and will remain on until it is unplugged.
8. Preheat 8 cups of oil for 20 minutes. Preheat 6 cups of oil for
15 minutes.
9. Gently place 1 to 8 cups of food into unit if using 8 cups of
oil. If using 6 cups of oil, place 1 to 6 cups of food into unit.
Use scoop to lessen spattering of hot oil.
Note: If the plug accidentally detaches from the fryer during
operation, reattach the cord following step 6 on page 4. Use
extreme caution as unit will be hot.
10. Occasionally stir food gently, with scoop, while frying to
prevent foods from sticking together. Do not use plastic
utensils in hot cooking oil.
11. When food reaches desired brownness, lift and drain with
scoop. Place food on absorbent paper. Season to taste. Repeat
steps 9, 10, and 11 for additional servings.
12. Allow oil to cool completely before removing divider from
deep fryer. Remove divider from unit prior to emptying oil.
