Cooking Tips
CAUTION
•Hot Steam is produced during cooking and will escape from the filter vent during normal operation. Keep your face and hands away from the escaping hot steam.
•Hot Oil will tend to splatter when the lid is open. Wear protective clothing on exposed skin to help prevent injury.
■For information about suggested cooking time and temperature, check the package of the food to be fried.
■The temperature is manually controlled.
■Continuously monitor the thermometer. Use the control knob to keep the oil temperature in the desired cooking range.
■Never overfill the food basket. Overfilling can cause the temperature to drop below the optimal frying temperature. Maintaining the oil at the recommended temperature will help produce foods that are light and crispy.
■The lid must be raised in order to remove the fryer basket from the oil.
■Raise the fryer basket and engage it in the upper position above and out of the oil after frying. This will allow excess cooking oil to drain back into the oil reservoir before placing the food on a serving plate (Fig. 22).
