be hot.
•
Do not fill the Frying Basket when it is
immersed in oil.
•
Place the food in the Frying Basket. Do
not drop food into hot cooking oil.Do
not overfill it and never exceed the
maximum quantities. For optimum
results and shorter frying time, basket
should be only 1/2 full.
•
The basket has approximately 1 lbs.
food capacity. It will hold 3-4 average
size pieces of chicken.
•
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:
When frying frozen foods such
as French Fries, you should not exceed
3/4 Lb. (350 gr.) or less. 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.
•
Always use the Frying Basket to fry food.
•
Always close the Cover during frying.
•
When the oil is pre-heated, Ready
Indicator Light will come on indicating
the desired oil temperature has been
reached.

hot oil. Lowering the Frying Basket too
quickly can result in the oil overflowing

To avoid condensation buildup on the
Cover Window - rub a little cooking oil
on window.
•
Do not mix different oils or new and old
oil together.
•
Replace oil regularly. In general, oil
used to fry food with protein, (such as
poultry, meat and fish) should not be
reused. 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 or when
color becomes dark or when it has a
rancid smell or 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.
