PREPARING YOUR DEEP FRYER FOR USE
Prior to using for the first time, remove all packaging materials from the exterior
and interior of the fryer. Make sure the fryer is unplugged. Wash the Frying Basket
and removable Oil Reservoir in hot soapy water. Dry all parts thoroughly.
CAUTION: Do not immerse cord, plugs or control panel assembly in water.
TIPS FOR DEEP FRYING
•
Fill the unit with oil between the minimum and maximum capacity lines only.
•
Do not overfill the basket. To achieve excellent results food, needs to be
surrounded by oil. Too much food causes the oil temperature to drop, resulting in
“soggy’ food. Food should be no higher than the top of the basket.
•
Be sure that all ice crystals are removed from the food and food is completely dry.
Excessive water and ice can cause the oil to splatter and/or overflow.
•
Coated foods (bread crumbs, batters, etc.) are best for deep frying. The coating
acts as a protective layer keeping food moist on the inside and crisp on the outside.
•
For best results, defrost frozen food for 20 minutes prior to frying.
•
Fry foods at the correct temperature for best results. This will prevent burning and
give you even coloured, crispy food.
•
Pre-packaged frozen cooked foods may cook faster than uncooked food.
•
For even cooking, shake basket halfway through cooking time.
