Frying Tips
•To avoid condensation buildup on the Cover Window - rub a little cooking oil on window.
•Do not mix different oils or new and old oil together.
•Replace oil regularly. In general, oil used to fry food with protein, (such as poultry, meat and fish) should not be reused. 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.
•To cook evenly, pieces should be the same size and thickness.
•Thicker pieces will take longer to cook. Warning: Never plug in the Control Panel when it is not assembled to the fryer body. Do not immerse the Control Panel, Power Cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
Warning: This unit should not be used to boil water.
