Troubleshooting; Care And Cleaning - Oster CKSTDFZM37-SS1 Manual De Instrucciones

• Replace oil if you notice:
• Excessive smoking at normal temperatures
- Strong oil discoloration
- A rancid smell
- Excessive foaming around the frying food
• Oil darkens with use because the oil and food molecules burn when subjected
to high/prolonged heat. The more you use an oil, the more slowly it will pour.
Its viscosity changes because of changes to the oil' s molecular structure. When
smoke appears on the oils' surface before the temperature reaches
375°F/190°C, your oil will no longer deep-fry effectively.
• When frying foods with strong flavor and/or aroma like fish or chicken,
use the oil only once.
• Filtering the oil with a cooking oil filter or fine-mesh strainer can keep it
fresher. Although storing oil in a refrigerator may extend the life of the oil, this
should never be done. This process of chilling oil then bringing the oil to room
temperature causes excessive splattering during the heat up process.
• Store the covered oil in a cool dark place, for up to three months. Check
the oil before using for color, smell, or excessive foaming. Discard the oil
if it shows any of these qualities.
RESETTING THE OVERHEAT
PROTECTION BUTTON
Resetting the Overheat Protection Reset Button may be necessary if unit
will not turn on at start up (power indicator light illuminated and
temperature dial set to selected temperature) or if unit appears to have
stopped working during use.
1. Unplug the unit from the wall electrical outlet.
2. Allow the unit to cool down.
3. Check the oil level in your unit. If it is below the
minimum level, oil should be added before
resetting the unit and resuming cooking cycle.
4. Remove the control box with heater.
5. Using a narrow slotted screwdriver or pen, gently
press the recessed reset button on the back of the
control box, located on the lower right hand side as indicated by the
