FRYING GUIDELINES: Before using deep fryer, carefully review the following guidelines for safe use:

WARNING: To prevent severe personal injury or property damage, use caution when cooking with hot oil.

•Always use fryer on a stable, dry and level heat-resistant surface, away from any edge.

•Always make sure fryer is completely dry before adding vegetable oil for cooking.

•Fill fryer with vegetable oil to the MAX fill line, about 11 cups. Do not fill fryer beyond MAX fill line to prevent boil-over of hot oil when food is added.

•Use only good quality vegetable oil for frying. Do not use vegetable shortening, lard, butter, margarine or olive oil for frying as these are not suitable for high temperature frying.

•Never add water or any other liquid to oil for frying as any amount of liquid can cause eruption of hot oil.

•Always add oil to fryer before it is plugged in. Do not allow fryer to heat before oil is added to prevent damage to fryer or possible ignition of oil.

•Do not use fryer under a cabinet as excessive steam is emitted from cover vent, which can cause damage.

•Always remove any excess moisture or ice crystals from foods before frying by blotting dry with paper toweling. This will help prevent excessive spattering and foaming of hot oil.

•For even cooking, fry similar-sized pieces of food and do not overfill basket. As a general rule, do not fill basket more than ⅔ full with food to ensure food is completely covered with oil when cooking.

•Food can be breaded or batter-coated before frying if desired. Follow recipe directions.

•Foods are normally done when they float to the surface and are nicely browned. Empty food from basket onto paper toweling to drain before serving.

•Always secure cover onto fryer whenever oil is hot.

•Hot steam escapes from cover causing burns. To prevent personal injury or steam burns, use protective oven mitt when opening.

•Use only metal cook tools in fryer. Do not use plastic or rubber cook tools, as they will be damaged from hot oil.

•It is best to use fresh oil each time the fryer is used to prevent transfer of flavor. Do not reuse oil more than two times as oil deteriorates with use.

•When finished frying, unplug cord from wall outlet, secure cover onto fryer and allow covered fryer to cool completely before removing oil and cleaning,

•Replace charcoal filter after every 10 to 12 uses to help reduce odor when frying and also to prevent oil from overflowing due to using a dirty filter. See Warranty section in this book for ordering replacement charcoal filters. Do not use fryer without charcoal filter.
