FRYING TIPS
FILLING THE FRYING BASKET & FRYING
WARNING: When frying frozen foods, remove the frying basket from the deep fryer before filling
because oil will spatter and cause burns.
CAUTION:
When frying frozen foods such as French Fries, you should not exceed the 2/3 depth of the
fryer basket. Clean off any ice from frozen food prior to frying. Failure to do so may cause fryer to
overflow when food is placed in oil.
CAUTION:
Never plug in the control panel when it is not assembled to the fryer body. Do not immerse
the control panel, power cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
1. Do not fill the frying basket when it is immersed in the hot oil.
2. Place the food in the frying basket. Do not drop the food into the hot cooking oil. Do not overfill it and
never exceed the 2/3 depth of the frying basket. For optimum results and shorter frying time, fry
smaller quantities.
3. Immerse the frying basket into the oil reservoir carefully so that you do not splash the oil.
4. Replace the lid on the deep fryer while it is frying.
6. When the cooking period is over, carefully remove the deep fryer lid, lifting it up away from you to
allow the steam to escape before removing the lid completely. Keep your face away from the top of
the appliance to avoid burns caused by escaping steam.
7. Turn the temperature control to the “MIN” position and remove the
plug from the electrical wall outlet.
8. Lift up the frying basket by the handle and place it on the hook to
allow the oil to drain.
(Fig. 5)
9. Once the oil has drained from the frying basket, the basket may be
lifted off and the food served or placed in a dish.
WARNING:
Always let the deep fryer cool completely
(approximately 2 hours) before cleaning or storing. Never carry or
move the appliance with hot oil inside. CAUTION: The metal
surfaces of the deep fryer become hot during use.
Do not touch the sides of the appliance while it is use.

• Always use the frying basket to fry food.
• Always close the lid during frying.
• When the oil is pre-heated, the ready indicator light will off,indicating that the desired temperature is
reached.
• Slowly lower the frying basket 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.
• Do not mix different oils or new and old oil together.
• Replace oil regularly. In general, oil will be tainted fast when frying food containing a lot of protein,
(such as poultry, meat and fish). When oil is used mainly to fry potatoes and is filtered after each use,
it can be used up to 8 to 10 times, but do not use the same oil for more than 6 months.
• Always replace all oil as soon as it starts foaming when heated or when color becomes dark or when
it has a rancid smell or taste or becomes syrupy.
• Make sure that the food to be fried is dry.
• Remove loose ice from frozen food before frying.
• To cook evenly, pieces should be the same size and thickness.
• Thicker pieces will take longer to cook.
The following cooking times reflect only the approximate time needed to fry one basket. The
exact time may be different depending on actual quantity, personal cooking preferences, size
and thickness of pieces, etc.

In general, use lower settings for delicate foods (vegetables, fish) and higher settings for frozen foods,
