Deep Fryer
IMPORTANT!
Use only standard brand of vegetable shortening or cooking oil when using the
deep fryer function. Frying food in butter, margarine, olive oil or animal fat is not recommended
due to lower smoking temperatures.
CAUTION: NEVER LEAVE THE UNIT UNATTENDED DURING USE.
1.
Pour oil into the cooking pot up to the MAX line. Never
go over the MAX mark as this may allow the oil
overflow when food is added.
2.
Turn the function dial to DEEP FRYER, adjust the
cooking time and temperature if necessary, then press
START/STOP button to start preheating.
3.
Place the food in frying basket.
IMPORTANT! BEFORE FRYING, REMOVE EXCESS
MOISTURE FROM FOOD BY BLOTTING WITH KITCHEN
PAPER OR SIMILAR. MOIST FOODS CAUSE EXCESS
FOAMING AND OIL SPATTER.
CAUTION: TO AVOID SCALDING FROM HOT OIL, DO NOT
ADD WET OR FROZEN FOOD INTO COOKING OIL. EVEN
SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER OR MOISTURE TRAPPED IN
FROZEN FOOD MAY CAUSE THE OIL TO SPATTER.
Use caution when deep frying flour tortillas. Flour
tortillas contain air bubbles. During deep frying,
oil can then become trapped within these bubbles
and, if not properly drained these bubbles can
burst and cause burns. Therefore, after deep
frying tortillas, carefully raise them out of the
cooking oil and allow oil to drain from the tortillas
for at least 30 seconds.
4.
When frying temperature is reached the timer will begin counting down the cooking time.
5.
Carefully lift lid away from you and lower the frying basket into the oil.
6.
When cooking time is completed, the display will show “END”; the unit will beep 3 times and turn off
automatically.
7.
Carefully remove the basket from cooking pot.
8.
To turn off the unit before cook time ends, press START/STOP button.
