Breakaway Cord and Polarized Plug
This appliance features a breakaway cord and
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
The breakaway cord is designed to
quickly disconnect from the appliance
when a pulling force is applied. NOTE:
The breakaway cord can fit into the
appliance in only one direction. Please
refer to printing on the cord connector
that states “this side up.” To reduce the
risk of electric shock, the cord is fitted
with a polarized plug. This plug is
intended to fit into a polarized outlet
only. If the plug does not fit into the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in
any manner.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to
reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a long cord.
EXTENSION CORD USE
An extension cord or longer detachable cord is not
recommended for use with deep-fat fryers.
ELECTRIC POWER
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances,
your appliance may not operate. It should be operated on
an electrical circuit that is free from other appliances. If you
are not sure of the reason for overloading or cannot find a
separate circuit, contact a qualified electrician.

11. When recommended frying time has elapsed, raise
the basket to see if the food has reached the required
golden color. If the food is done, carefully lift and hang
basket on edge of the oil reservoir. Allow oil to drain
10 to 20 seconds. Remove basket, and place cooked
food onto absorbent paper towels.
NOTE: To preserve oil quality, do not add salt or spices
to the food until it has been removed from the fryer.
12. When cooking is finished, press ON/OFF button to turn
off. Unplug the breakaway cord from the wall outlet
before detaching from the appliance.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Always unplug appliance, detach the breakaway
cord and let the oil cool down to room temperature
before cleaning.
2. Remove lid.
3. Lift out basket.
4. The control panel should never be immersed in
water or other liquids. Clean the outer surface of the
heating element with a damp cloth containing mild
soap solution or plain water.
5. Once oil has cooled, use spout on the corner to pour
oil into suitable container.
6. The frying basket should be hand washed before first
use and should be seasoned with oil before going into
the dishwasher for the first time. Lid and oil container
are dishwasher safe. Dry parts thoroughly after cleaning.
7. The stainless steel body is submersible and should
be washed by hand with warm soapy water.
8. Ensure that both the lid and the oil container are
completely dry after washing and before use.
9. After cleaning, reassemble oil container, heating
element, basket and lid onto deep fryer. The heating
element must be seated properly or appliance will
not operate.

SAFETY FEATURES
The Waring Pro® Professional Deep Fryer is equipped with
the following features to ensure safety:
• Safety Interlock – The control panel/heating element
must be properly seated or deep fryer will not operate.
• Breakaway Cord – The cord is designed to quickly
disconnect from the appliance when a pulling force
is applied.
• Thermostat Overload Protection – Your Waring Pro®
Professional Deep Fryer is equipped with thermostat
overload protection. If the unit heats up beyond the rec-
ommended temperature level, the deep fryer will auto-
matically turn off. To reset, unplug the unit from the wall
outlet and allow it to cool down. Remove the control pan-
el and heating element from the unit. (CAUTION: Heating
element is extremely hot. Allow
it to cool thoroughly before
removing it.) You will find a
reset button on the front of the
control panel, below controls.
Using a toothpick or another
long, thin object, push the reset button and properly
place the control panel back into position.
NOTE: The unit will not work if the control panel is not
properly mounted. Plug the unit back in, turn on and
7
continue use. If the unit still does not operate, repeat the
steps above or call a Waring Certified Customer Service
Center for assistance.
HINTS
• When cooking foods dipped in fresh batter, first lower
basket, still empty. Using tongs, add food directly to
oil. Use basket to lift out food when finished cooking.
• Do not exceed the bottom of the rim on the basket. This
helps maintain temperature of oil for better cooking re-
sults.
• Sort or cut food into pieces of uniform size. All the
food will then be cooked in the same amount of time.
To reduce splattering, remove excess moisture or ice
from food.
• Store oil in oil container for a limited time. When oil
has cooled to room temperature, pour into a suitable
container with lid and refrigerate.
• For best results, change oil in deep fryer after a
maximum of ten uses.
• It is important to follow the temperature recommendation
for every recipe. If the temperature is too low, the fried
food absorbs oil. If the temperature is too high, a crust
quickly forms on the outside while the inside remains
uncooked.
• For best results, drop freshly sliced food into basket one
piece at a time.
FRYING FROZEN FOODS
• Due to their extremely low temperature, frozen foods
inevitably lower the temperature of the oil. For best
results, do not overload the basket with frozen foods.
• Follow the instructions on the frozen food package for
cooking time and temperature.
• Frozen foods are frequently covered with a coating of ice
crystals, which should be removed before frying. Lower
the basket very slowly into the oil in order to ensure that
oil does not boil over.
8
FILTERING AND CHANGING THE OIL
• Make sure the Waring Pro® Professional Deep Fryer is
unplugged and the oil has cooled before cleaning or
storing.
• The oil does not need to be changed after each use. In
general, the oil will be tainted rather quickly when frying
food containing a lot of protein (such as poultry, meat
or fish). When oil is mainly used to fry potatoes and it
is filtered after each use, it can be used 8 to 10 times.
However, do not use the oil for longer than 6 months.
• WARNING: Always remove the plug from wall socket
before cleaning. Allow the Waring Pro® Professional
Deep Fryer and the oil to cool completely (approximately
2 hours) before cleaning. Never immerse the control
panel, cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
RECIPES
Tips for Frying Breads
Heat oil to 375°F unless recipe specifies otherwise. A cube
of bread should brown in approximately 60 seconds. Correct
temperature is extremely important. If the temperature is too
high, breads will brown before the insides have cooked; if it
is too low, the bread will absorb the fat and become soggy
and greasy.
Cook only as much as will float easily in the oil. Too much
added to the Waring Pro® Professional Deep Fryer will cause
the temperature to drop, and the food will be difficult to turn.
Turn bread when it rises to the top of the oil, taking care not
to pierce it. Lift cooked breads from the fryer; allow them to
drain for a moment, then place on paper towels to drain.

Applesauce Spice Doughnuts
Makes about 24
Put the flour, baking powder, salt, and spices into a medium
bowl and stir with a whisk to blend; reserve. Put the sugar
and shortening into a large bowl. Using an electric mixer on
low speed, beat to blend and break up the shortening. Add
the applesauce and eggs; beat until smooth. Add the flour
mixture in two additions and blend on medium speed until
mixed. Cover dough and chill for a least 1 hour.
Divide dough into two equal portions. Place one portion
of dough on a generously floured surface and dust with
flour. Roll out to ½-inch thickness. Cut dough with a floured
doughnut cutter and place doughnuts on a waxed paper
lined baking sheet or tray. Repeat with remaining dough.
Re-roll scraps and repeat.
Heat vegetable oil in Waring Pro® Professional Deep Fryer
until it reaches 375°F. Carefully lower 3 doughnuts into the
hot oil – do not overcrowd! Fry on each side, about 1½ to
2 minutes, turning with a slotted spoon or wire skimmer.
Remove and drain on layered paper towels. Pat gently to
remove any excess oil, and sprinkle with desired amount
of sugar.

Spicy Buffalo Wings with Blue Cheese Dressing
Makes 24 pieces
12 chicken wings
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
5 to 8 tablespoons “Louisiana style” hot sauce
(such as Frank’s Louisiana Red Hot!TM)
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
Blue Cheese Dressing
½ cup mayonnaise (regular or lowfat)
½ cup sour cream (regular or lowfat)
½ cup crumbled blue cheese
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
¼ cup finely chopped parsley
1 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
oil for frying
celery sticks, carrot sticks, zucchini sticks
Cut wing tips from wings and discard or reserve for making
chicken stock. Split each wing at the joint and cut through
so there are 2 pieces from each wing. Rinse and dry
completely. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, hot
sauce and cider vinegar and stir until completely blended.
Put all ingredients for Blue Cheese Dressing into a bowl and
stir well to blend. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 min-
utes before serving, to allow flavors to blend.
Heat oil until it is 375°F. Put half the wings into the Waring
Pro® Professional Deep Fryer and cook until browned and
crispy, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove wings; drain briefly
on layered paper towels. Then stir hot, crispy wings into the
hot sauce mixture. Repeat with remaining wings. Serve hot
with cold vegetable sticks and blue cheese dressing.
Note: If you have some guests who do not appreciate hot
and spicy, fry the wings as instructed and toss with your
favorite BBQ sauce or honey mustard sauce. For “suicidal”
strength wings, add Tabasco® or other hot sauce along with
the Louisiana-style hot sauce.

DEEP FRYING GUIDE – Fresh or Uncooked Foods
Fresh indicates food prepared from a recipe or purchased
fresh, not frozen. Read package label to determine if
prepared, packaged foods are NOT precooked. If frozen, do
not thaw; place foods directly from package into preheated
oil. If there are ice granules around prepared foods, set
pieces on a paper towel and pat dry. Moist vegetables
will cause the oil to splatter.
Frying times may vary because of food temperature,
quantity and size of pieces. Best results are obtained when
food is cooked in small batches and size of pieces is
uniform. Check deep-fried foods at the shortest times given;
deep fry until heated through.
