Euro-Pro BF160 Fryer User Manual


 
Filling the Frying Basket
Do NOT fill the frying basket (#14) when it is immersed in oil.
• Place the food in the frying basket (# 14). Do NOT overfill it and never exceed the maximum
quantities. For optimum results and shorter frying time, basket should be only 1/2 full.
• The basket has approximately 11/2 lb. food capacity. It will hold 4-5 average size pieces of
chicken.
• Do not fill the basket higher than the “MAX” line on the basket with frozen food.
Warning: When frying foods, remove the frying basket (#14) from the deep fryer before filling
with frozen food because oil will spatter and cause burns.
IMPORTANT: When frying frozen foods such as French Fries, you should not exceed 11/4 Lb.
(567 gr.) For best, crispy results limit quantity to 1 Lb. (454 gr.) or less.
Frying Food
Warning: To avoid injury or burns, do not touch any metal parts on the deep fryer because
they are hot.
• Always use the frying basket (#14) to fry food.
• Always close the lid (#10) during frying.
• When the oil is pre-heated, temperature indicator light (#7) will go off to indicate desired
temperature is reached.
• Slowly lower the frying basket (#14) into the hot oil. Lowering the frying basket too quickly can
result in the oil overflowing and spattering.
• 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 (#10) after frying, lift up the lid slightly, then allow
steam to escape before opening the lid completely. Keep face away from unit to
avoid burns caused by escaping steam.
