quantity and number of different food you want your fry.
Lift out the frying basket

CAUTION: After immersing the frying basket (4 or 5) in the oil, immediately place
the lid (3) on the appliance. Danger of hot oil splashing out.
CAUTION: Food added to the appliance must be dry. If frying frozen foods such as
French fries or chicken wings, remove all ice particles from the frozen foods prior to
frying to prevent oil from overflowing.
CAUTION: Always remove excess moisture from food by patting with paper towel
before frying. Even a small amount of water can cause severe splattering of hot oil.
NOTE: When frying fresh cut potatoes and high moisture content food, lower the
basket slowly into the oil. If the oil boils or foams too rapidly raise the basket for
a few seconds and lower again. Do this until the basket can be lowered without
excess foaming. Do not use the cover when frying fresh cut potatoes or other high
moisture content foods.
