Prior to first use, remove all packaging materials from the exterior and
interior of the fryer. Make sure the fryer is unplugged. Wash the Frying
Basket and Oil Reservoir in hot soapy water. Dry all parts thoroughly. See
CARE AND CLEANING.
CAUTION: Do not immerse cord or plugs in water.
• Fill the unit with oil between the maximum and minimum capacity
lines only.
• Do not over fill the basket. To achieve quality results deep frying food
needs to be surrounded by oil. Too much food causes the oil
temperature to drop, resulting in “soggy” food. Food should be no
higher than the top of the basket.
• Be sure that all ice crystals are removed from the food and food is
completely dry. Excessive water and ice can cause the oil to splatter
and/or overflow.
• Coated foods (bread crumbs, batters, etc.) are best for deep frying. The
coating acts as a protective layer keeping food moist on the inside and
crisp on the outside.
• For best results, defrost frozen foods for 20 minutes prior to frying.
• Fry foods at the correct temperature for best results. This will prevent
burning and give you even colored, crispy food.
• Prepackaged frozen cooked chicken may cook faster than uncooked
food.
• For even cooking, shake basket half way through cooking time.
