appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced by contacting consumer service.
6. Risk of electric shock and choking, keep the cord out of reach from children and infants.
7. Use Basket Handle to raise and lower Basket. Always raise Basket out of hot oil and allow
cooked food to rest for 5-10 seconds before opening lid.
8. Do not use this appliance if the Viewing Window is cracked.
9. Dry damp foods before placing into oil. When deep frying frozen foods, remove any
excessive ice as it can cause hot oil to spatter.
10. Always keep lid closed while deep fryer is frying foods.
11. Do not obstruct the air outlet vent on top of lid with any objects. Avoid escaping steam
from the air outlet during operation.
12. Keep appliance at least 4 inches away from walls or other objects during operation. Do not
place any objects on top of appliance while it is operating. Place the appliance on a
surface that is resistant to heat.
13. Be sure oil tank is filled with oil to at least the 'MIN' oil marking level. Do not operate
appliance without oil or with an insufficient amount of oil.
14. Always pour oil into Tank before plugging in and heating up the appliance. Never pour oil
into heated tank.
15. Ensure that there are no flammable objects on or near the appliance. If the oil catches fire,
unplug the appliance and close the lid. Never use water to extinguish the fire.

Detachable Cord Instructions
CAUTION: A short detachable power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal
injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
The cord is designed to break away from the Deep Fryer quickly and smoothly to prevent the
unit from tipping over when someone unintentionally pulls on the cord.
This detachable cord is designed for use with this designated Deep Fryer only. Do not try
using it on any other appliance.
WARNING: Serious hot-oil burns may result from a deep fat fryer being pulled off a
countertop. Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of the counter where it may be
grabbed by children or become entangled with the user.
Do not use with an extension cord.
Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into 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 modify the plug in any way.
Electric Power
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate
properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

INTRODUCTION
Your Westinghouse Deep Fryer contains a durable stainless steel Oil Tank for long-lasting
use. It is designed to cook a variety of foods in hot cooking oil. A rotary Temperature Dial
°
°
allows you to choose a cooking temperature between 285 F and 375 F for precise temperature
control. The convenient Basket is used to carefully lower food into the oil and provides a safe
way to lift cooked foods from the oil. The removable Control Panel/Heater Assembly and Oil
Tank provide for easy and thorough clean-up.
Your Westinghouse Deep Fryer features a
Cool Zone below the Heater Coils. When the
Deep Fryer is properly assembled, the area
below the Heater Coils remains at a much
lower cooking temperature. This prevents
any food pieces and crumbs which have
fallen to the bottom of the Oil Tank from
burning and also encourages longer oil life.
BASKET
HEATER COILS
COOL ZONE
ASSEMBLING BASKET HANDLE
The Westinghouse Deep Fryer features a unique Basket Handle which allows you to raise and
lower the Basket (in and out of the oil).
To Attach Handle to Basket:
1. Hold Handle over Basket as shown. Gently squeeze the
arms of the Handle so they fit into the eyelets on the
Basket.
2. Rotate the Handle toward the end of the Basket. Push
Handle against the end of the Basket until it locks into
place.
3. Slide plastic part of Handle out on arms before use.
Plastic part of\Handle may be slid in and Handle folded

Cooking Batter-Coated Foods
Batter-coated foods cook best when placed directly into the pre-heated oil rather than into the
Basket.
CAUTION: Always use metal tongs or a spoon to place and remove foods from hot oil.
1. Make sure the Basket has been lowered into the oil before preheating.
2. Pre-heat oil to desired cooking temperature. See "Instructions for Use" steps 1-9.
3. Coat desired food with batter.
4. Open Lid. Use metal tongs to CAREFULLY place batter-coated foods into hot oil inside
Tank. Allow enough room around each piece to cook the food properly.
CAUTION: Take care to avoid any spattering oil which may result from the food being
placed into the hot oil. Do not touch any interior parts of the Deep Fryer or the oil as they are
hot!
5. Close Lid.
6. Allow foods to cook. See "Cooking Chart" for more information. Look through Viewing
Window to see food cooking or to determine when food is cooked. DO NOT RAISE LID
DURING COOKING! Hot oil could spatter out of the Deep Fryer causing burns or other
injuries.
7. When food is cooked to desired doneness, grasp the Basket Handle and raise the Basket to
lift the cooked food from the hot oil. Carefully hang the Basket on the hook inside the Oil
Tank. Allow cooked foods to drain for 5-10 seconds before opening Lid.
WARNING: Use caution when opening Lid, steam escapes as soon as the Lid is opened.
8. Use metal tongs to remove cooked foods from the Basket. Place cooked foods onto
absorbent paper towels.
9. Follow steps 15-16 under “Instruction for Use.”

Helpful Hints
Frying
• Fry more batches of smaller amounts of food. Best results are obtained when the hot oil can
freely circulate all around the food.
• In general, pre-cooked foods require higher temperatures and less cooking time.
• Cut or sort food into uniform sizes. Cook same-size pieces together so they will be cooked
in the same amount of time.
• Be sure foods are free from ice crystals and excess moisture before frying. Water on the
surface of the food can cause the oil to spatter and foam.
• When using a breading, evenly coat the food to be fried. Fine, uniform crumbs stick better
than coarse, uneven ones. Shake off all extra breading to help keep oil clean.
• Space coated foods so they do not touch while cooking.
• For best results when frying doughs or foods dipped in a liquid batter, make sure the Basket
has been lowered into the hot oil before placing foods into the oil. This will prevent any
foods from sinking below the Heating Element, from where they would be hard to retrieve.
Oil
• Never over fill or under fill the fryer with oil. Minimum and maximum oil amounts are marked
on the inside of the Tank.
• Store clean or strained oil in fryer for only short amounts of time. Transfer oil to a covered
container once cooled. Store oil in the refrigerator.
• When frying fish or seafood, the oil may absorb a "fishy" taste. To eliminate transferring this
"fishy" taste to other foods, we suggest changing the oil before frying other foods.

User Maintenance Instructions
This Deep Fryer requires little maintenance. It contains no user-serviceable parts inside the
Control Panel/Heater Assembly. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than cleaning must
be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.
WARNING: Unplug Deep Fryer from wall outlet before cleaning.
Cleaning
1. Always unplug the appliance and let the appliance and oil cool down to room temperature
before cleaning.
2. Press the Lid Release Button. To remove Lid, allow Lid to rise then pull the Lid straight out
of the Deep Fryer Body.
3. Remove Basket from Oil Tank.
4. Grasp Control Panel/Heater Assembly and gently pull up to remove. Use extreme caution
when removing the Control Panel/Heater Assembly as oil may splash out of the Tank. Wipe
Control Panel/Heater Assembly with a damp cloth and dry completely.
CAUTION: Do not immerse any part of the Control Panel/Heater Assembly in water or other
liquid. Doing so could permanently damage the product.
5. Grasp rim of Oil tank and carefully lift Tank out of Deep Fryer Body.
Be careful when there is oil in the Tank. Strain the
oil from the tank into a suitable container.
6. Wash Lid, Basket, Oil Tank, and Deep Fryer Body
in hot, soapy water. You may also wash the
Basket and Oil Tank in the dishwasher. Dry all
parts thoroughly.
7. Reassemble Deep Fryer as indicated in steps
6-9 under “Before Using for the First Time.”
