OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Filling the Frying Basket
•
Do not
fill the frying basket when it is
immersed in oil.
• Place the food in the frying basket.

not
overfill it and never exceed the
maximum quantities. For optimum
results and shorter frying time, basket
should be only 1/2 full.
• The basket has approximately 1.5 lb.
food capacity. It will hold 4-5 average
size pieces of chicken.
•
Do not
fill the basket higher than the
MAX line on the basket with frozen

Frying Food
WARNING:
When frying foods, remove
the frying basket from the Somersize
Electronic Deep Fryer before filling with
frozen food because oil will spatter and
can cause burns.
WARNING:
When frying frozen foods
such as French Fries, you should not
exceed 1.25 lb. (350 grams) or less.
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.
CAUTION:
This unit should not be used
to boil water.
• Always use the frying basket to fry
food.
• Always close the cover during frying.
• When the oil is pre-heated, ready
indicator light will come on indicating
the desired oil temperature has been
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 cover carefully.
• It is normal for steam to escape
through the sides of the cover while
frying.
• Avoid standing too close to the deep
fryer while it is cooking.
WARNING:
When opening the cover
after frying, lift up the cover slightly, then
wait to allow steam to escape before
opening the cover completely. Keep face
away from unit to avoid burns caused by
escaping steam.
Frying Tips
• To avoid condensation buildup on the
cover window - rub a little cooking oil
on window.
•
Do not
mix different oils or new and
old oil together.
• Replace oil regularly. In general, oil
used to fry food with protein, (such as
poultry, meat and fish) should not be
reused. 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.
CELERY ROOT FRIES
PRO/FATS AND VEGGIES - LEVEL ONE
Makes 4 servings
Here’s a way to have fries without the potatoes! My Celery Root Fries are
wonderful. The thinner you cut the celery root, the crunchier they will be.
Prep time: 12 minutes
Cooking time: 12- 24 minutes
Peanut or vegetable oil for frying
2 large celery roots
2 large egg whites, beaten until slightly foamy
2 teaspoons Somersize Citrus Champignon Mushroom Rub
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Preheat oil in the Somersize Electronic Deep Fryer to 320° F.
Peel away outer skin of celery root. Slice celery root into
⅛
-inch thick slices.
Cut these slices into ¼-inch wide strips to form fries. Place egg whites into a
shallow bowl. Dip celery root into egg whites then sprinkle with mushroom
rub.
Place
⅓
of the celery root into Frying Basket and lower basket into hot oil.
Fry until golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Repeat until all
celery root is cooked. Season with salt and pepper.
