Filling the Frying Basket
Do not fill the frying basket when it is
immersed in oil.
For optimum results and shorter frying
time, basket should be only 1/2 full.
The basket has approximately 1.5 lb.
food capacity. It will hold 4-5
average size pieces of chicken.
When frying frozen foods such as French
Fries, remove the frying basket from the
deep fryer before filling with frozen food
because oil will spatter and may cause
burns. You should not fill the frying
basket more than halfway. Clean off any
ice from frozen food prior to frying.
Failure to do so may cause fryer to
overflow when food is placed in oil.
Frying Food
Always use the frying basket to fry food.
Always close the lid cover during frying.
When the oil is pre-heated, the ready
indicator light will come on, indicating
that the desired temperature is reached.
Slowly lower the frying basket into the
hot oil. Lowering the frying basket too
quickly can result in the oil overflowing
and splashing.
Replace the lid carefully.
It is normal for steam to escape through
the sides of the lid while frying.
Avoid standing too close to the deep
fryer while it is working.
Warning: When opening the lid cover
after frying, lift up the lid slightly, then
wait to allow steam to escape before
opening the lid completely. Keep face
away from unit to avoid burns caused by
escaping steam.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Using the Auto-Lift Frying Basket
Your deep fryer is equipped with an auto-
lift frying basket.
To raise the auto-lift frying basket:
Depress the handle lock button to
unlock the basket handle, lift the basket
up and remove from deep fryer before
placing food to be fried into the fryer
basket.
Depress the handle lock button that is
on the handle of the frying basket to
unlock the handle and the frying basket
will lower into the oil.
Once the food has finished frying, lift
up the lid cover slowly and wait to allow
the steam to escape before opening
the lid cover completely.
Depress the handle lock button once
more to unlock the handle and then lift
the frying basket out of the oil.
Let the fried food drain for a few
seconds and then remove the basket
from the deep fryer.
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, when color
becomes dark, 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.
To cook evenly, pieces should be the
same size and thickness.
Thicker pieces will take longer to cook.
