COOKING IN THE FRYER
1. Preheat oil by selecting the desired cooking temperature and turning the knob
to the right of the handle so that the white line above the knob is directly at
the desired temperature.
Note: Use the graphics on the front of the appliance and the charts and recipes
found in the Use & Care as a guide to determine temperature and amounts of
foods to be cooked in each batch.
2. While appliance is heating the thermostat light will
be off. The light will turn back on when the selected
temperature has been reached (J).
3. With the lid closed, raise the basket by pressing the
handle release button and lifting it until it clicks into
place.
4. Allow the basket to drain several seconds. Press the
lid release button to open the fryer.
5. Fill basket with foods to be cooked. Do not overfill.
6. Close the lid firmly and lower the basket into the fryer by pressing the handle
release button and lowering the handle until it locks into place at the bottom of
the cooking pot.

on the top right of the fryer
(K).

HELPFUL HINTS ABOUT YOUR FRYER
• Preheat oil before first frying. Also, allow the oil to return to preset temperature
before cooking another batch of food. The green light will turn on when the
selected temperature has been reached.
• Never overfill the fryer. There must be room for the hot oil to rise when food has
been added.
• Be sure the foods to be cooked are fully covered by the oil.
• If food is cooking too quickly on the outside before the center can be fully
cooked:
• Check the temperature of the oil with a deep frying thermometer and
check the freshness of the oil. It may be time to discard oil and start fresh.
• Lower the temperature on the fryer.
• Season fried foods after frying when they are still hot and fresh from the fryer.
• High heat, water and burnt food particles break down the oil. Always strain
cooled used oil through a cheese cloth or paper towel lined strainer after
each use.
• To preserve the life of your oil, store used oil tightly sealed in a cool dark place
between usages. On average, oil can be reused about 4 to 6 times before
discarding.
• Oil should be discarded after frying if you notice:
• Extreme smoking at normal frying temperatures
• Very darkened oil
• Rancid smelling oil
• Excessive foaming around food being fried
• Dry foods fry best. Dry foods with a paper towel. Make sure there are no ice
crystals on frozen foods to be fried.
• Make sure to remove excess breading and batter before placing food in hot oil.
• Keep foods to a uniform size and thickness.
• For better fresh French fries, soak cut potatoes in cold water for ½ hour before
frying. Drain well and dry thoroughly before frying. Fry in small batches and
allow temperature of oil to recover before frying another batch.
• Preheating the basket helps to prevent foods from sticking to the basket.
