HELPFUL HINTS
•
Use only good quality oil when frying. Deep frying foods in butter
or margarine is not recommended because of the low smoking
temperatures.
•
Oil must be ltered regularly and changed after 8 – 12 uses. If the oil is
dirty it can overheat at a much lower temperature. This can cause the
oil to catch re.
•
The Cover is tted with a ltering system to reduce frying odour.
•
Remove excess water, ice or frost from food. Shake frozen foods to
detach pieces of ice.
•
Fill the Frying Basket before placing it in the Fryer.
•
DO NOT use the Fryer without oil. The Fryer will be severely
damaged if heated dry.
