OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Using Solid Fat
WARNING:
It is
NOT RECOMMENDED
to put solid shortening in the oil container
or the frying basket.
• If using solid vegetable shortening, melt
it first in a separate pan and then very
carefully pour the melted fat into the oil
container.
• Previously used solid vegetable
shortening which has curdled and
hardened in the oil container should be
removed from the oil container and
melted in a separate pan before
reusing.
WARNING:
If you try to melt the
solidified fat in the oil container, there is a
risk of warm melted fat suddenly
sputtering from below through the still
solid top layer of fat. Therefore use
only
the following procedure:
• Make sure the fat is at room
temperature. If the fat is very cold,
there is a greater risk of splashing.
• Using a fork, carefully make some holes
in the fat. Make sure the cover is
securely closed while fat is melting.
Heat fat slowly - on lowest temperature
setting.
CAUTION:
Never plug in the Somersize
Electronic Deep Fryer before filling with oil
to specified level. Always make sure
Somersize Electronic Deep Fryer is

Filling the Container With Oil
WARNING:
Never plug in the Deep
Fryer before filling with oil to specified
level. Always make sure control panel is
securely in place in the body and the
heating element is inside the oil in the
container before plugging in.
• Use blended vegetable oil, pure corn
oil or canola (rapeseed) oil. Do not use
olive oil, margarine, lard or drippings.
• The oil level must always be
maintained between the minimum and
the maximum levels marked inside the
oil container. Check the oil level before
each use. For best results, keep the oil
close to the maximum level (19
cups/4.5 liters). (Fig. 6)
• Never mix different oils and fats
together. Do not mix old and new oil.
