OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Warning:
In order to avoid injury or
burns, never touch any metal parts on
the deep fryer because they may be hot.
Filling the Frying Basket
•
Do not fill the frying basket when it is
immersed in oil.
•
Place the food in the frying basket.
Do not overfill it and never exceed
the maximum quantities. For
optimum results and shorter frying
time, basket should be only 1/2 full.
•
Do not fill the basket higher than the
MAX line on the basket with frozen
food.
Warning:
When frying foods, remove
the frying basket from the deep fryer
before filling with frozen food because
oil will spatter and cause burns.
Caution:
Never exceed "MAX" line
when filling the basket with food. It is
recommended that food is at the 3/4
level, below the MAX line when frying
frozen food. Clean off any ice from
frozen food prior to frying. Failure to
do so may cause fryer to overflow
when food is placed in oil.
Frying Food
•
Always use the frying basket to fry
food.
•
Always close the lid cover during
frying.
•
When the oil is pre-heated, the
temperature indicator light will stop
flashing and stay lit.
•
Slowly lower the frying basket into
the hot oil. Lowering the frying
basket too quickly can result in the
oil overflowing and splashing.
•
Replace the lid carefully.
•
It is normal for steam to escape
through the sides of the lid while
frying.
•
Avoid standing too close to the deep
fryer while it is working.
Warning:
When opening the lid
cover after frying, lift up the lid slightly,
then wait to allow steam to escape
before opening the lid completely.
Keep face away from unit to avoid
burns caused by escaping steam.
At the End of Cooking
•
Press the power button to turn the
power off.
•
Unplug the main cord from the wall
socket.
•
Lift up the lid cover slowly and wait to
allow steam to escape before
opening the lid cover completely.
•
Lift up the frying basket by the
handle. Place it on the oil container
and allow the food to drain for a
minute.
•
Once the oil has drained from the
frying basket, the basket may be
lifted off and the food served.
Warning:
Always let the deep fryer
cool completely (approximately 2 hours)
before cleaning or storing. Never carry
or move the deep fryer with hot oil
inside.
Frying Tips
•
Do not mix different oils or new and
old oil together.
•
Replace oil regularly. In general, oil
will be tainted fast when frying food
containing a lot of protein, (such as
poultry, meat and fish). When oil is
used mainly to fry potatoes and is
filtered after each use, it can be used
up to 8 to 10 times, but do not use the
same oil for more than 6 months.
•
Always replace all oil as soon as it
starts foaming when heated, when
color becomes dark, when it has a
rancid smell, taste or becomes
syrupy.
•
Make sure that the food to be fried is
dry.
•
Remove loose ice from frozen food
before frying.
•
To cook evenly, pieces should be the
same size and thickness.
•
Thicker pieces will take longer to cook.
