Determining the maximum fill level when using a vessel without a maximum line:
(1) Place the food product in the basket.
(2) Place the food product and holder into the empty vessel.
(3) Fill the vessel with water just until the food product is completely submerged.
There must be a minimum of 3” (8 cm) between the water level and top of the vessel.
(4) Remove the food product from the vessel and either mark the water level on the side of
the vessel or measure the amount of water in the vessel.
(5) Remove the water and completely dry the vessel and the food product.
(6) This is the amount of cooking oil the vessel is to be filled with to cook the food product.
•
Introduction of water or ice from any source into the oil/grease may cause overflow and
severe burns from hot oil and water splatter. When frying with oil/grease, all food products
MUST be completely THAWED and towel-DRIED before being immersed in the fryer.
•
Avoid bumping into or impacting the appliance to prevent spillage or splashing of hot
cooking liquid.
•
Never drop food or accessories into hot cooking liquid. Lower food and accessories slowly
into the cooking liquid in order to prevent splashing or overflow. When removing food from
