To Store or Reuse Cooking Oil
•Make sure the Somersize Electronic Deep Fryer is unplugged and the oil has cooled (approximately 2 hours) before attempting to clean or store the Somersize Electronic Deep Fryer.
•The oil does not need to be changed after each use. We do not recommend storing and reusing oil that was used for frying high protein foods such as poultry, fish or other meats. When oil is mainly used to fry potatoes and is filtered after each use, it can be used 8 to 10 times. However, do not use the same oil for longer than 6 months.
•Please read and follow all instructions in this manual for best results with your Somersize Electronic Deep Fryer.
•To filter the oil, first make sure the oil has cooled and then empty the oil from the oil container into a storage container or bottle. (Fig. 7) wash and dry the oil container and basket. To reuse, refill the oil container with the oil, pouring the oil through a wire strainer or paper filter. (Fig. 8)
