CLEANING

Lid

5. If food is cooking too quickly on the outside before the center can be fully

cooked:

• Check the temperature of the oil with a deep frying thermometer

and check the freshness of the oil. It may be time to discard oil and

start fresh.

• Lower the temperature.

6. High heat, water and burnt food particles break down the oil. Always strain

cooled used oil through a cheese cloth or paper towel lined strainer after

each use.

1. Open the lid and pull straight up to remove it (K).

2.Wash the lid in warm soapy water using a sponge or nylon pad with liquid detergent.

3. Rinse, and dry thoroughly.

4. To reattach the lid, insert it straight down into the notches in the unit until it snaps in place.

Important: Be sure the lid is securely in place.

7. To preserve the life of your oil, store used oil tightly sealed in a cool dark

place between usages. On average, oil can be reused about 6 times before

discarding.

8. Oil should be discarded after frying if you notice:

• Extreme smoking at normal frying temperatures

• Very darkened oil

• Rancid smelling oil

• Excessive foaming around food being fried

9. Dry foods fry best. Dry foods with a paper towel. Make sure there are no

ice crystals on frozen foods to be fried.

10. Make sure to remove excess batter before placing food in hot oil.
