OPERATION - TIPS AND DIRECTIONS
•
Make sure that the food is thoroughly dry before you fry it. Moist products can cause
severe splashing of the hot oil or fat.
•
Remove as much ice as possible from frozen food; this will prevent splashing.
•
Do not fry oven-ready chips.
•
Do not fry potatoes that have been stored for too long, or are beginning to develop shoots.
•
Do not put too much food in the frying basket at one time.
•
You will need to coat some foods with batter or breadcrumbs before you fry them. You
can prepare your own breadcrumbs by crumbling toast or rusks.
•
Filter the oil or fat at regular intervals to remove any breadcrumbs and particles of food.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - REPLACING THE OIL OR FAT
The quality of the oil or fat deteriorates every time you use the deep fryer. For this reason,
you will need to replace the oil or fat at regular intervals. Topping up the oil or fat will not
improve the quality. Use good quality oil or (liquid) fat. When heating solid fat set the deep
fryer to the lowest temperature until all the fat has melted. Since margarine and butter are not
suitable for deep frying you are strongly advised not to use them.
Replace the oil or fat when;
•
it becomes darker in color;
•
it becomes thicker in consistency;
•
small air bubbles are seen that take a long time to disappear; in new, fresh fat the air
bubbles are large and they also disappear rapidly;
•
the fried food has an unpleasant or strange taste or smell;
•
the appliance emits more smoke than usual.
The level of the oil or fat must lie between the ‘MIN’ and ‘MAX’ marks in the bowl.
