Helpful Hints
Use the fryer in well ventilated conditions.
•
All food contains moisture which turns
to steam during frying. Most of this steam escapes through the filter in the lid.
Use a recommended oil - do not mix oils or fats.
•
Always filter used oil before re-use. Never leave frying residues in the oil.
•
Replace oil frequently.
•
Discoloured oil, rancid oil, oil that emits an unpleasant
odour or oil that foams excessively when heated should not be used.
Take into account the type of food when you set the frying temperature.
•
Gener-
ally, precooked foods need a higher cooking temperature than raw foods.
If you need to add oil, do so between batches
•
. Allow the oil to heat up to the right
temperature before continuing - (“Ready” light on).
Follow your recipe
•
to help you set the correct time so the food cooks properly.
Ensure that the food is completely immersed in the oil.
•
