frozen food prior to frying. Failure to do so may cause fryer to overflow when food is placed in oil.

Frying Food

•Always use the frying basket to fry food.

•Always close the lid cover during frying.

•When the oil is pre-heated, ready indicator light will come on indicating that the desired temperature is reached.

•Slowly lower the frying basket into the hot oil. Lowering the frying basket too quickly can result in the oil overflowing and splashing.

•Replace the lid carefully.

•It is normal for steam to escape through the sides of the lid while frying.

•Avoid standing too close to the deep fryer while it is working.

Warning: When opening the lid cover after frying, lift the lid slightly, then wait to allow steam to escape before removing the lid completely. Keep face away from unit to avoid burns caused by escaping steam.

	containing a lot of protein, (such as
	poultry, meat and fish). 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.

Filtering & Changing the Oil

•Make sure the deep fryer is unplugged and the oil has cooled before cleaning or storing the deep fryer.

•The oil does not need to be changed after each use. In general, the oil will be tainted rather quickly when frying food containing a lot of protein (such as poultry, meat or fish). 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.

•To filter the oil, first make sure the oil has cooled and then empty the oil from the oil container into another container or bottle. (Fig. 6)

•Wash and dry the oil container and basket. Refill the oil container with the oil, pouring the oil through a wire strainer or paper filter. (Fig. 7)
