Tips for Deep Frying
•Fill the unit with oil between the maximum and minimum capacity lines only.
•Do not over fill the basket. To achieve quality results deep frying food needs to be surrounded by oil. Too much food causes the oil temperature to drop, resulting in “soggy” food. Food should be no higher than the top of the basket.
•Be sure that all ice crystals are removed from the food and food is completely dry.
Excessive water and ice can cause the oil to splatter and/or overflow.
•Coated foods (bread crumbs, batters, etc.) are best for deep frying. The coating acts as a protective layer keeping food moist on the inside and crisp on the outside.
•For best results, defrost frozen foods for 20 minutes prior to frying.
•Fry foods at the correct temperature for best results. This will prevent burning and give you even colored, crispy food.
•Prepackaged frozen, cooked chicken, may cook faster than uncooked food.
•For even cooking, shake basket half way through cooking time.
Using Your Oster Deep Fryer
NOTE: Never turn on the fryer with an empty Oil Reservoir. Always use your fryer on a flat, heat resistant surface.
•Attach magnetic end of Sure Release power cord assembly directly to the fryer. This should be done prior to plugging the cord into the wall outlet. The magnetic end of the cord is designed only to go on one way. Be sure the side stating “THIS SIDE UP”is facing up.
•Open Lid by pressing the Open Lid Button.
•Remove Frying Basket by pulling the Basket Handle up.
•Make sure the Oil Reservoir is seated in place with the “MIN” and “MAX” marks on the side opposite of the Control Panel. Pour cooking oil into Oil Reservoir until it reaches between “MIN” and “MAX” marks inside reservoir. DO NOT OVER OR
UNDER FILL.
•Place Lid onto the unit by placing it on the hinge guides at the back of the fryer.
•Make sure that fryer is OFF and insert plug into 120 volt AC outlet.
