Filling the Frying Basket
• Do not fill the frying basket (#14) when it is immersed in oil.
• Place the food in the frying basket (# 14). 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 lb. 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 (#14) from the deep fryer before filling
with frozen food because oil will spatter and cause burns.
IMPORTANT:
When frying frozen foods such as French Fries, you should not exceed 1 Lb.
(454 gr.) For healthy, crispy results limit quantity to 3/4 Lb. (350 gr.) or less.
Frying Food
Warning:
To avoid injury or burns, do not touch any metal parts on the deep fryer because
they may be hot.
• Always use the frying basket (#14) to fry food.
• Always close the lid (#10) during frying.
• When the oil is pre-heated, temperature indicator light (#7) will go off to indicate desired
temperature is reached.
• Slowly lower the frying basket (#14) 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 (#10) 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.
