•
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. Rinse and pat dry.
•
To cook evenly, pieces should be the same size and thickness.
•
Thicker pieces will take longer to cook.
6. Frying Tips
Important: When frying frozen food such as French Fries,
you should not exceed 1.25 lb. (568 gr.). For
best results, limit quantity to 1 Lb. (454 gr.) or
less.
The following cooking times reflect only the approximate time needed to fry one
basket 1/2 full. The exact time may be different depending on actual quantity,
personal cooking preferences, size and thickness of pieces, etc...
Temperature Settings
In general, use lower settings for delicate foods (vegetables, fish) and higher settings
for frozen foods, French Fries and Chicken.

9. Cleaning Instructions
Your
EURO-PRO
Deep Fryer has been
specifically designed with your safety in
mind.
EURO-PRO
has incorporated a
unique detachable power supply cord.
This power supply cord cord is
designed to “Break Away” from the fryer
body in the event that the supply cord is
inadvertently pulled. This is intended to
prevent the tipping of the appliance and
hazardous spillage of hot oil.
The female receptacle portion of the
power supply cord is permanently
attached to the rear of the the control
panel.
To connect the male power cord plug to
the female receptacle on the appliance,
orient the male plug so that it mates
with the female receptacle. The male
plug can only be inserted one way. If
the male plug will not go into the
receptacle on the appliance, rotate the
male plug 180°.
IMPORTANT
: Should the male plug
become detached from the appliance
during use, it is important to:
1. Unplug the power cord from the wall
outlet.
2. Turn off the appliance at the control
panel.
3. Re-attach the power cord to the
appliance.
4. Re-connect to power outlet.
5. Turn the appliance back on.
