Important Cord and Plug Information
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. DO NOT USE WITH
AN EXTENSION CORD.
Do not allow the power supply cord to run underneath or around the appliance. The magnetic cord assembly may not detach easily if the
power supply cord is positioned in this fashion. Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
Before First Use
Become familiar with the various parts of the deep fryer (Fig. A) and read the
instructions carefully.
Cleaning before first use
Wipe the fryer cover and cool-touch base with a damp cloth. CAUTION! To
avoid electrical shock, never immerse the fryer base, cord, or plug in water or
other liquid. Never wash the cover or fryer base in a dishwasher.
Open the deep fryer cover by pushing the cover release button on the front
of the fryer.
Remove the frying basket, basket handle, charcoal filter, and any packaging
material from the deep fryer. Then lift the removable pot out of the fryer base.
Wash the basket (with the handle removed) and removable pot in hot, soapy
water; rinse and dry thoroughly. Washing these parts in a dishwasher is not
recommended; see pages 4 and 5 for specific cleaning instructions. NOTICE:
If you choose to wash the removable pot in a dishwasher, it will likely discolor
due to the caustic nature of the dishwasher detergent.
Positioning removable pot in fryer base
After cleaning, place the removable pot back in the fryer base.
The terminal pins on the bottom of the removable pot fit in
the receptacle inside the fryer base (Fig. B).
For easiest alignment, position the pot in the base so the ▼ on
the front of the pot aligns with the front seam of the unit (Fig.
C). Then tilt the pot forward slightly and push pot down into
fryer base. If the cover closes, the pot is in the correct position.
Installing or replacing removable filter
The charcoal filter, which is located in the cover of the deep
fryer, will help absorb unpleasant odors. For the deep fryer
to effectively absorb these odors, always use the fryer with
the filter in the cover.
To install or replace the filter, first close the fryer cover. Then,
remove the filter cover (Fig. D) by pushing the release latch
toward the window and lift up on the back of the filter cover.
If replacing an old filter, remove and discard it. Unwrap new
charcoal filter and insert it in the filter compartment. Replace
the filter cover and snap into place by pushing down. Replace-
ment filters may be purchased through the Presto Consumer
Service Department (see back cover).
Attaching basket handle to basket
Before using the deep fryer, you will need to attach the basket
handle to the basket. Follow these steps:
1. Hold the basket in one hand and the basket handle in your other hand. You will be placing the pegs,
which are at the ends of the two basket handle bars, into the two holes in the basket bracket (Fig. E).
2. While holding the pegs near the peg holes, tilt the handle inward before attempting to place the pegs
in their holes. You will not be able to fit the second peg into its hole if the handle bars are positioned
too close to the bracket.
3. Next, place one of the pegs in one of the peg holes. Then squeeze the handle bars together and fit the opposite peg in the other peg hole (Fig. F).
