Frying Food
Note
: When frying frozen food such as
French Fries, remove the frying basket
before filling with frozen food because oil
will spatter and may cause burns. You
should not fill the frying baskets more than
halfway. Remove any ice crystals from the
frozen food prior to frying. Failure to do so
may cause the oil in the deep fryer to
overflow when the food is placed in the oil.
•
Always use the frying baskets to fry
food.
•
When the oil is pre-heated, the ready
light will start flashing and turn green,
indicating that the desired temperature
is reached.
•
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 deep fryer cover carefully.
•
It is normal for steam to escape through
the sides of the cover while frying.
•
Avoid standing too close to the deep
fryer while it is working.
Warning:
When opening the cover after
frying, lift up the cover slightly, then wait to
allow steam to escape before removing
the cover completely. Keep face away
from unit to avoid burns caused by
escaping steam.
Caution:
When frying frozen foods such
as French Fries, you should not exceed
the max line on the fryer baskets. 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.
Warning:
When frying foods, always
remove the frying basket from the deep
fryer before filling with food because oil
will spatter and cause burns. Be
especially cautious when frying frozen
foods.
•
Push the On/Off button to shut the unit
off.
•
The ready light will remain lit when the
unit is turned "Off"
•
Unplug the main cord from the
electrical outlet.
•
Lift up the cover slowly and wait to
allow steam to escape before removing
the 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.
