15. Use a heat-resistant long-handled fork or tongs to remove cooked food or pour
cooked foods from frying basket.
16. To deep fry another batch of food, always check oil level. Make sure oil pan is
filled at least to MIN. Add oil as necessary.
17. Adjust temperature control dial if needed. When the HEATING light turns OFF,
follow the instructions previously described and continue deep frying.
18. When all cooking is complete, turn the temperature control to MIN, switch OFF
the power switch and unplug from the wall outlet.
WARNING! ALWAYS UNPLUG UNIT WHEN COOKING IS FINISHED.
OTHERWISE, THE DEEP FRYER WILL CONTINUE TO HEAT UNTIL UNIT IS
UNPLUGGED.
19. WARNING! Oil will remain hot for an extended period of time. Be sure all
parts of the Deep Fryer and the oil have cooled completely before discarding
or storing oil and cleaning the unit.
20. Place night cover on top of the oil pan to keep dust and foreign objects out of the
oil when the Deep Fryer is not in use.
HELPFUL HINTS
Frying
•
Never over-fill the frying basket with food. Maximum basket capacity is 2/3 full.
•
Fry more batches of smaller amounts of food. Best results are obtained when the
hot oil can freely circulate all around the food.
•
In general, pre-cooked foods require higher temperatures and less cooking time.
•
Cut or sort food into uniform sizes. Cook same-size pieces together so they will
be cooked in the same amount of time.
•
Avoid spatter foam. Dry damp foods before placing into oil. Be sure foods are
free from ice crystals and excess moisture before frying.
•
When using a breading, evenly coat the food to be fried. Fine, uniform crumbs
stick better than coarse, uneven ones. Shake off all extra breading to help keep
oil clean.
•
To prevent contamination of the oil, do not add salt or other spices to the food
during frying or when the food is draining above the oil.
•
Space coated foods so they do not touch while cooking.
•
For best results when frying doughs or foods dipped in a liquid batter, place the
foods into the basket first and then lower the frying basket into the hot oil.
Oil
•
WARNING! Never, under any circumstances, add water or any other liquid to the
oil.
•
Never over-fill or under-fill the oil pan. Before frying, check to make sure the oil
level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the inside of the oil pan.
•
WARNING: Under- or over-filling the oil tank may damage the Deep Fryer and
could result in serious personal injury.
•
See RECOMMENDED OILS FOR DEEP FAT FRYING for the best oils to use and
approximate smoke points.
•
Never use hard fats (melt first).
