Helpful Hints
Frying
• Never over-ll the fry basket with food. Maximum basket capacity is 2/3 full, 1.0 Kg./2.2 lb.
• Fry more batches of smaller amounts of food. Best results are obtained when the hot oil can freely
circulate all around the food.
• In general, pre-cooked foods require higher temperatures and less cooking time.
• Cut or sort food into uniform sizes. Cook same-size pieces together so they will be cooked in the same
amount of time.
• Be sure foods are free from ice crystals and excess moisture before frying. Water on the surface of the
food can cause the oil to spatter and foam.
• When using a breading, evenly coat the food to be fried. Fine, uniform crumbs stick better than coarse,
uneven ones. Shake of f all ex tra breading to help keep oil clean.
• To prevent contamination of the oil, do not add salt or other spices to the food during frying or when the
food is draining above the oil.
• Space coated foods so they do not touch while cooking.
• For best results when frying doughs or foods dipped in a liquid batter, place the foods into the basket rst
and then lower the fry basket into the hot oil.
• Always use the fry basket to lift food out of the oil; hook the basket to the rim and allow oil to drain. Then
remove fried food from the fry basket.
Oil
• WARNING! Never, under any circumstances, add water or any other liquid to the oil.
• Never over-ll or under-ll the fryer with oil. The minimum oil capacity is 2.5 liters (2.7 qt./86.4 oz.). The
maximum oil capacity is 3.0 liters (3.2 qt./104.2 oz.). Both the MIN and MAX oil levels are marked on the
inside of the tank.
WARNING: Under- or over-lling the oil tank may damage the Deep Fryer and could result in serious
personal injury.
7
• Always use sunower oil, vegetable oil or corn oil. Never use hard fats, olive oil or oil with a high water
content.
• Never mix different oils together to fry foods.
• Never use butter or margarine to fry foods.
• When frying sh or seafood, the oil may absorb a “shy” taste or odor. To eliminate transferring this
“shy” taste or odor to other foods, we suggest changing the oil before frying other foods.
Draining and Recycling Oil
• WARNING! Be careful around hot par ts and hot spitting oil. Remember that the oil is actually hotter than
boiling water! Never put hands in the oil. Always keep hands and face away from rising steam or spitting
oil.
• Oil should be ltered regularly.
• DO NOT pour oil from the Deep Fryer without rst removing fry basket, control panel/heater assembly and
tank from the Deep Fr yer body.
NOTE: DO NOT pour used oil down any household drain. Discard used oil into a container with a lid and
dispose in garbage.
• Filter the cooled oil through a ne sieve into a wide-neck, airtight, covered container. If necessary, use a
funnel to avoid oil spillage.
NOTE: A coffee lter or piece of clean cotton material can be placed in a colander and used to lter used oil.
• As oil will absorb food avors and odors, it’s a good idea to label the container with the type of food the
oil was used to cook in. For example: desser ts, chicken, sh, etc.
• Store oil in the refrigerator until next use.
Cooking Chart
WARNING! ALWAYS USE A MEAT THERMOMETER TO ENSURE THAT MEAT AND FISH ARE
COOKED THOROUGHLY BEFORE EATING.
