2.FILLING THE STAINLESS STEEL CONTAINER WITH OIL
Warning: Never plug in the Deep Fryer before filling with oil to specified level. Always make sure control part 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 (11 cup) and maximum (13 cup) levels marked inside the oil container (approx. 2.5 liters). Check oil level before each use. For best results, keep the oil close
to the maximum level. Fig. 9 | Fig. 9 |

•Never mix different oils and fats together. Do not mix old and new oil.
Using Solid Fat
Warning: Do not put solid shortening in the oil container or 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 lid is securely closed while fat is melting. Set temperature dial to 320ºF (160ºC).
3. USING THE FRYER
Warning: Never plug in the Deep Fryer before filling with oil to specified level. Always make sure control part is securely in place in the body and the heating element is inside the oil in the container before plugging in.
