DEEP FRYER TIPS
• Always add oil to the deep fryer before attaching the magnetic plug or inserting the
plug into the wall outlet.
• Use deep fryer only on a clean,dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away
from countertop edge.
• Close supervision is necessary when appliance is used near children. Hot oil can
cause serious and painful burns.
• To avoid the risk of electrocution or electrical burns, do not let the cord or plug come
into contact with water or other liquid.
• Use only a good, reliable standard brand of vegetable cooking oil for deep frying.
Deep frying foods in butter, margarine, olive oil, or animal fat are not recommended
because of lower smoking temperatures.
• Before deep frying, remove excess moisture from food by blotting with a paper
towel; moist foods cause excess foaming and splattering. Do not add wet foods to
cooking oil. Even small amounts of water may cause oil to splatter.
• Use caution when deep frying tortillas. Flour tortillas contain air bubbles. During
deep frying, oil can become trapped within these bubbles. If not properly drained,
the bubbles can burst and cause burns. Therefore, after deep frying tortillas,
carefully raise them out of the cooking oil and allow oil to drain from tortillas for
approximately 30 seconds.
• Always unplug cord from wall outlet and then from deep fryer when unit is not in use.
• Always allow the deep fryer to cool completely before removing oil and before
cleaning.
• DO NOT leave utensils sitting in hot oil.
• Always use caution when cooking with hot oils to prevent severe personal injury or
damage to property. Always use caution when frying around children.
• For breading or coating foods, use commercial breading, nely ground bread or
cracker crumbs, corn meal, mixture of corn meal and our, pancake mix, or prepared
bread mixes.
• After each use, strain oil through a lter or a double thickness of cheesecloth to
remove accumulated residue. Store in refrigerator.
• Do not place oil in refrigerator while still contained in the oil tank with the control
panel in place. Do not place appliance in the refrigerator to store oil. Oil must be
removed and stored in a tightly sealed container before placing in the refrigerator. It
is time to replace the cooking oil if the oil is dark in color, the oil has an unpleasant
odor, the oil smokes when it is heated, or the oil foams excessively during frying.
