FRYING GUIDELINES: Before using deep fryer, carefully review the following guidelines for safe use:
WARNING: To prevent risk of severe personal injury or property damage, use caution when
cooking in hot oil.
• Always use fryer on a stable, dry and level heat- resistant surface, away from any edge.
• Always make sure fryer is completely dry before adding vegetable oil for cooking.
• Fill fryer with vegetable oil to the MAX fill line, about 8 cups. Do not fill fryer beyond MAX fill line to prevent
boil-over of hot oil when food is added.
• Use only good quality vegetable oil for frying. Do not use vegetable shortening, lard, butter, margarine or olive oil
for frying as these are not suitable for high temperature frying.
• Never add water or any other liquid to oil for frying as any amount of liquid can cause eruption of hot oil.
• Always add oil to fryer before it is plugged in. Do o not allow fryer to heat before oil is added to prevent damage to
fryer or possible ignition of oil.
• Do not use fryer under a cabinet as excessive steam is emitted from cover vent, which can cause damage.
• Always remove any excess moisture or ice crystals from foods before frying by blotting dry with paper toweling.
This will help prevent excessive spattering and foaming of hot oil.
• For even cooking, fry similar-sized pieces of food and do not overfill basket. As a general rule, do not fill basket
more than 2/3 full with food to ensure food is completely covered with oil when cooking.
• Food can be breaded or batter-coated before frying if desired. Follow recipe directions.
• Foods are normally done when they float to the surface and are nicely browned. Empty food from basket onto
paper toweling to drain before serving
.
• Hot steam escapes from cover causing burns. To prevent steam burns, stand away from cover and always use
protective oven mitt when opening.
• Always remove moisture from underside of cover with paper towel after each time cover is removed. This will help
prevent oil from spattering when cover is replaced.
