PREPARING YOUR DEEP FRYER FOR USE
Prior to first use, remove all packaging materials from the exterior and interior of the fryer. Make sure the fryer is unplugged. Wash the Frying Basket and Oil Reservoir in hot soapy water. Dry all parts thoroughly. See
CARE AND CLEANING.
CAUTION: Do not immerse cord or plugs in water.
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.
•Coatedfoods (breadcrumbs,batters, etc.)are best for deep frying.The coating acts as a protectivelayer 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.
