Helpful Hints

•When cooking foods dipped in fresh batter, lower basket first. Using tongs, add food directly to oil. Use basket to lift out food when finished cooking.

•Fill the basket no more than half full for best results. This helps maintain oil temperature for better cooking results.

•Sort or cut food into uniform pieces. All the food will then be cooked in the same amount of time.

•To reduce splattering, remove excess moisture or ice from food.

•Store oil in oil reservoir for only a limited time. When oil has cooled to room temperature, pour into a suitable container with lid and refrigerate.

•For best results, change oil in fryer after a maximum of fifteen uses.
