To Store or Reuse Cooking Oil
• Make sure the Somersize Electronic
Deep Fryer is unplugged and the oil
has cooled (approximately 2 hours)
before attempting to clean or store the
Somersize Electronic Deep Fryer.
• The oil does not need to be changed
after each use. We do not recommend
storing and reusing oil that was used
for frying high protein foods such as
poultry, fish or other meats. When oil is
mainly used to fry potatoes and is
filtered after each use, it can be used 8
to 10 times. However, do not use the
same oil for longer than 6 months.
• Please read and follow all instructions
in this manual for best results with your
Somersize Electronic Deep Fryer.
