Using Solid Fat
WARNING: It is NOT RECOMMENDED to put solid shortening in the oil container or the frying basket.
•If using solid vegetable shortening, melt it first in a separate pan and then very carefully pour the melted fat into the oil container.
•Previously used solid vegetable shortening which has curdled and hardened in the oil container should be removed from the oil container and melted in a separate pan before reusing.
WARNING: If you try to melt the solidified fat in the oil container, there is a risk of warm melted fat suddenly sputtering from below through the still solid top layer of fat. Therefore use only the following procedure:
•Make sure the fat is at room temperature. If the fat is very cold, there is a greater risk of splashing.
•Using a fork, carefully make some holes in the fat. Make sure the cover is securely closed while fat is melting. Heat fat slowly - on lowest temperature setting.
CAUTION: Never plug in the Somersize Electronic Deep Fryer before filling with oil to specified level. Always make sure Somersize Electronic Deep Fryer is properly and completely assembled before using or plugging into wall outlet. IMPORTANT: Ensure the control panel is fitted correctly to the main unit, otherwise the unit will not function. This is not a defect. This product is fitted with a safety switch to prevent the unit from turning on accidentally.
•Set the required temperature by turning the temperature/timer control knob. – The temperature is adjustable from 155˚F to 375˚F.
Filling the Container With Oil
WARNING: Never plug in the Deep Fryer before filling with oil to specified level. Always make sure control panel is securely in place in the body and the heating element is inside the oil in the container before plugging in.
•Use blended vegetable oil, pure corn oil or canola (rapeseed) oil. Do not use olive oil, margarine, lard or drippings.
•The oil level must always be maintained between the minimum and the maximum levels marked inside the oil container. Check the oil level before each use. For best results, keep the oil close to the maximum level (19 cups/4.5 liters). (Fig. 6)
•Never mix different oils and fats together. Do not mix old and new oil.
