  If your Farberware Fryer isn't working, first, make sure the magnetic plug is properly connected to the electrical outlet before plugging into the wall. Check that the control panel is correctly installed and that the appliance is plugged into a working wall outlet. Examine your fuses and circuit breaker. If the oil or appliance has overheated, unplug it, let it cool, and then press the reset button. If none of these steps work, unplug the appliance and contact qualified personnel for repair.

  If the cooking oil in your Farberware Fryer is foaming, it might be due to several reasons. If the basket is overfilled, lift it out by its handle, hang it onto the Basket Hook, and remove excess food. If there's excess moisture or remaining ice particles in the food, raise the basket for a few seconds and lower it again. Repeat this until the basket can be lowered without excess foaming.
