OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not mix different oils or new and old oil together.
• Replace oil regularly. In general, oil will be tainted fast when frying food containing a
lot of protein, (such as poultry, meat and fish). When oil is used mainly to fry
potatoes and is filtered after each use, it can be used up to 8 to 10 times, but do not
use the same oil for more than 6 months.
• Always replace all oil as soon as it starts foaming when heated or when color
becomes dark or when it has a rancid smell or taste or becomes syrupy.
• Make sure that the food to be fried is dry.
• Remove loose ice from frozen food before frying. Rinse and pat dry.
• To cook evenly, pieces should be the same size and thickness.
• Thicker pieces will take longer to cook.
