English-2English-3 Th i s Un iT is Fo r hoUs e h o l d Us e on l y This Deep fryer is equipped with an exclusive Sure Release Power Cord System, which includes a detachable magnetic cord designed to separate from the unit when certain amounts of force are applied. (See details o\ n page 4 for instructions on proper usage of the Sure Release magnetic cor\ d.) A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. WARNING: Do not use an extension cord. No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to service this product\ . POLARIZED PLUG This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS We l Co M e Congratulations on your purchase of an OSTER® Deep Fryer!

English-4English-5 pa rT S iDe n TiF iC a Ti o n Before using your Deep Fryer for the first time, you should become famil\ iar with all of the parts. Read all Instructions and Safeguards carefully. pr e p a r i n g Yo Ur De e p FrYe r Fo r USe Prior to first use, remove all packaging materials from the exterior and\ interior of the fryer. Make sure the fryer is unplugged. Wash the Frying Basket and removable Oil Reservoir in hot soapy water. Gently wipe the Cool-Zone Heating Element with a damp cloth. Dry all parts thoroughly. See CARE AND CLEANING section. CAUTION: Do not immerse cord, plugs or control panel assembly in water. Ba S K eT Ha n Dl e aS S eM B lY in S T rU C T i o nS 1. Remove Handle and Frying Basket from inside the deep fryer. 2. Notice the eyelets on the interior side of the basket under the “ LOC\ K ” tab. 3. Squeeze the handle prongs in the middle 4. Release the prongs into the eyelets on the interior side of the basket. 5. Press firmly down on the handle to lock in place as indicated on the “\ LOCK ” tab. Ti pS Fo r De e p Fr Yi n g • Fill the unit with oil between the maximum and minimum capacity lines only. • Do not over fill the basket. To achieve quality results deep frying food needs to be surrounded by oil. Too much food causes the oil temperature to drop, resulting in “soggy” food. Food should be no higher than the top of the basket.\ • Be sure that all ice crystals are removed from the food and food is completely dry. Excessive water and ice can cause the oil to splatter and/or overflow. • Coated foods (bread crumbs, batters, etc.) are best for deep frying. The coating acts as a protective layer keeping food moist on the inside and crisp on the \ outside. • For best results, defrost frozen foods for 20 minutes prior to frying. • Fry foods at the correct temperature for best results. This will prevent burning and give you even colored, crispy food. • Prepackaged frozen, cooked chicken, may cook faster than uncooked food. • For even cooking, shake basket half way through cooking time. USi n g Yo Ur oS T e r De e p FrYe r NOTE: Never turn on the fryer with an empty Oil Reservoir. Always use your fryer on a flat, heat resistant surface. • Attach magnetic end of Sure Release power cord assembly directly to the fryer. This should be done prior to plugging the cord into the wall outlet. The magn\ etic end of the cord is designed only to go on one way. Be sure the side stating “THIS SIDE UP”is facing up. • Open Lid by pressing the Open Lid Button. • Remove Frying Basket by pulling the Basket Handle up. • Make sure the Oil Reservoir is seated in place with the “MIN” and “MAX” marks on the side opposite of the Control Panel. Pour cooking oil into Oil Res\ ervoir until it reaches between “MIN” and “MAX” marks inside reservoir. DO NOT OVER OR UNDER FILL. • Place Lid onto the unit by placing it on the hinge guides at the back of the fryer. • Make sure that fryer is OFF and insert plug into 120 volt AC outlet.

Preheat time is 7-10 minutes for fryer to reach desired temperature. (R\ eady light will cycle On/Off during frying as temperature fluctuates due to food load.)\ Fo o DTeM p.

Ti p S Fo r oi l US e a n D STo r a g e • Do not use seasoned or flavored oil such as walnut, olive oil, lard or drippings because they have a low smoke point. Use blended vegetable oil, pure cor\ n oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil or grape seed oil (canola oil) because thes\ e oils have a high smoke point. Peanut oil is not recommended because it impacts the f\ lavor greatly. • Oils should never be mixed when deep frying. • High heat, water and burnt food particles break down the oil’s smoke point. • Replace oil if you notice: • Excessive smoking at normal temperatures - Strong oil discoloration - A rancid smell - Excessive foaming around the frying food • Oil darkens with use because the oil and food molecules burn when subjected to high/prolonged heat. The more you use an oil, the more slowly it will po\ ur. Its viscosity changes because of changes to the oil’s molecular structure. When smoke appears on the oils’ surface before the temperature reaches 375° F/190° C, your oil will not longer deep-fry effectively. • When frying foods with strong flavor and/or aroma like fish or chicken, use the oil only once. • Filtering the oil with a cooking oil filter or fine-mesh strainer can keep it fresher. Although storing oil in a refrigerator may extend the life of the oil, t\ his should never be done. This process of chilling oil then brining the oil to room tempe\ rature causes excessive splattering during the heat up process. • Store the covered oil in a cool dark place, for up to three months. Check the oil before using for color, smell, or excessive foaming. Discard the oil if it shows any of these qualities. reS eT T H e ov e r He a T pr o Te C T i o n BU T T o n Resetting the Overheat Protection Reset Button may be necessary if unit will not turn on at start up (power indicator light illuminated and temperature dial set to selected temperature) or if unit appears to have stopped working during use. 1. Unplug the unit from the wall electrical outlet. 2. Allow the unit to cool down. 3. Check the oil level in your unit. If it is below the minimum level, oil should be added before resetting the unit and resuming cooking cycle. 4. Remove the control box with heater. 5.

Asegúrese de que la freidora esté desenchufada. Lave la Canasta de la Freidora y el Depósito removible de Aceite en agua caliente jabonosa. Limpie cuidadosamente la Zona Fría del elemento de calentamiento con una tela húmeda. Seque todas las partes completamente. Vea la sección CUIDADO Y LIMPIEZA. PRECAUCIÓN: No sumerja el cordón, los enchufes o el panel de control en agua. inS T rU C C i o n e S De enSa M B l aDo De l Ma n g o De l a Ca n a S Ta1. Remueva el mango y la canasta freidora del interior de la Freidora. 2. Ubique los agujeros en la parte interior de la canasta debajo de la leng\ üeta del Seguro (“Lock”). 3. Apriete los dientes del mango por el medio 4. Libere los dientes dentro de los agujeros en la parte interior de la can\ asta 5. Empuje el mango hacia abajo con firmeza para asegurar en posición como se indica en la lengüeta del Seguro (“Lock”). Co n Se j o S p a r a Fr e í r• Llene la unidad con aceite solamente entre las líneas de capacidad de máximo y mínimo • No llene la canasta en exceso. Para obtener resultados de buena calidad, la comida que va a freír debe estar rodeada de aceite. Demasiada comida causa que la t\ emperatura del aceite baje, lo cual resulta en comida empapada de aceite. La comida no debe pa\ sar mas arriba de la parte superior de la canasta. • Asegúrese de que todos los cristales de hielo hayan sido removidos de la comida y que la comida este completamente seca. El exceso de agua y de hielo pueden caus\ ar que el aceite salpique o se rebalse. • Comidas recubiertas (con migas de pan, arrebozadas, etc.) son las que quedan mejor para freír. La capa recubierta actúa como una capa protectora, manteniendo la c\ omida jugosa por dentro y crujiente por fuera. • Para mejores resultados, deshiele la comida 20 minutos antes de freír. • Fría las comidas a la temperatura correcta para obtener mejores resultados. Esto evitará que su comida se queme y permitirá que tenga un color parejo y que esté crujiente. • El pollo precocido, empacado y congelado, puede cocinarse mejor que la comida no cocida. • Para un cocido parejo, sacuda la canasta a la mitad del tiempo de cocción. US a n Do S U Fr e i Do r a oS T e rNOTA: Nunca encienda la freidora con el depósito para aceite vacío. Siempre utilice su freidora sobre un a superficie plana y resistente al calor • Adjunte el extremo magnético del cordón de Liberado Seguro directamente a la freidora. Esto debe hacerse antes de enchufar el cordón al tomacorriente de pared. El extremo magnético del cordón está diseñado para entrar solamente de una manera. Asegúrese de que el lado con la escritura “ Este lado hacia arriba” (THIS SIDE UP) esté boca arriba. • Abra la Tapa presionando el Botón para Apertura de la Tapa. • Remueva la canasta de la Freidora jalando el mango de la canasta hacia arriba. • Asegúrese de que el Depósito de Aceite esté colocado en su lugar con las marcas de mínimo (MIN) y máximo (MAX) en el lado opuesto del panel de control.

Co nSe j o S p a r a e l USo Y alM aCe n a j e D e l aCe i Te• No use aceites con sazones o saborizados tales como aceite de nueces, aceite de oliva, manteca o grasa debido a que tienen un punto de humeado bajo. Utilice a\ ceite vegetal, aceite puro de maíz, aceite de girasol, aceite de soya o aceite de ca\ nola debido a que estos aceites tienen un punto de humeado alto. No se recomienda aceite de man\ í/cacahuate debido a que afecta el sabor tremendamente. • Nunca mezcle aceites cuando fría. • El calor alto, el agua y las partículas de comida quemada cortan el punto de humeado del aceite. • Reemplace el aceite si usted nota: • Humo excesivo a temperaturas normales - Pronunciado descoloramiento del aceite - Olor rancio - Exceso de espuma alrededor de la comida frita • El aceite se oscurece con el uso debido a que las moléculas del aceite y la comida se queman cuando son sujetas a altas y prolongadas temperaturas. Cuanto má\ s use el aceite, más despacio se rociará. La viscosidad del aceite cambia debido al\ cambio en la estructura molecular del aceite. Cuando el humo aparece en la superficie del aceite\ antes de que la temperatura alance los 375 ºF/ 190º C, su aceite ya no freirá e\ fectivamente. • Cuando fría comidas que tengan un sabor o aroma fuertes como pescado o pollo, use el aceite sólo una vez. • Filtrar el aceite con un filtro para aceite de cocina o un colador fino puede mantener el aceite más fresco. Aunque guardar el aceite en la refrigeradora podrí\ a extender la vida del aceite no le recomendamos que lo haga. Este proceso de enfriar el aceite para después llevarlo a temperatura ambiente causa un salpicado excesivo durante el p\ roceso de calentamiento.
