hot oil. Oil could splash
causing serious burns.
Maximum oil life depends on proper care.
See FILTERING and CLEANING. It is very
important if the finished product is to be
presentable and edible. Useful oil life can
be affected by many things:
Oil Quality:
Poor quality oil will require
replacement more often.
Temperature:
Lowering oil temperature
setting during slow periods or between
business rushes will extend useful oil life.
Volume:
The more product cooked, the
more often oil will need filtering and replac-
ing.
Type of Coating and Seasoning Used:
Ingredients in some coatings can affect
product appearance and shorten the useful
oil life.
Amount of Care and Filtering Oil
Receives:
DO NOT leave any crumb
buildup in oil, on cooking well, or on food
basket. See FILTERING. Oil will need
replacing more often if improperly main-
tained. Straining methods only remove
crumbs. Using a built-in filter, Broaster

pounds can increase useful oil life up to
200%.
How can you tell if oil should be replaced?
It will show signs of increased smoking or
foaming. If not discarded, safety and prod-
uct quality could be sacrificed.
