Filling the Frying Basket

• Do not fill the frying basket when it is

immersed in oil.

• For optimum results and shorter frying

time, basket should be only 1/2 full.

• The basket has approximately 1.5 lb.

food capacity. It will hold 4-5

average size pieces of chicken.

When frying frozen foods such as French

Fries, remove the frying basket from the

deep fryer before filling with frozen food

because oil will spatter and may cause

burns. You should not fill the frying

basket more than halfway. Clean off any

ice from frozen food prior to frying.

Failure to do so may cause fryer to

overflow when food is placed in oil.

Frying Food

• Always use the frying basket to fry food.

• Always close the lid cover during frying.

• When the oil is pre-heated, the ready

indicator light will come on, indicating

that the desired temperature is reached.

• Slowly lower the frying basket into the

hot oil. Lowering the frying basket too

quickly can result in the oil overflowing

and splashing.

• Replace the lid carefully.

• It is normal for steam to escape through

the sides of the lid while frying.

• Avoid standing too close to the deep

fryer while it is working.

Warning:

When opening the lid cover

after frying, lift up the lid slightly, then

wait to allow steam to escape before

opening the lid completely. Keep face

away from unit to avoid burns caused by

escaping steam.
1. When the oil in the deep fryer has

reached the set temperature, open the

cover, place the frying basket onto the

oil draining hook, put food into the

frying basket and carefully lower the

frying basket into the hot oil. Close the

cover. If you wish, you can set the

60-minute timer to the desired cooking

time. To set the 60-minute timer, turn

the knob clockwise to the desired time.

2. Cook food according to the suggested

recommended cooking chart or until

desired doneness. It is normal for

steam to escape through the sides of

If you have pre-set a time for the

deep fryer, you will hear a ring when

the cooking time has elapsed.

NOTE: If you are using the 60-minute

timer when you are frying food, please

note that the heating element will NOT

turn off when the timer is up.

When cooking is complete, open the

cover carefully to avoid burns

caused by escaping steam. Lift the

frying basket and hook it onto the

oil draining hook to allow the food

to drain.

Remove the food from the frying

basket by:

Lifting the frying basket by its

handle and CAREFULLY pouring

food onto a plate covered with

paper towels or into desired

serving utensil.

Using tongs to grasp the food from

the frying basket and placing into

serving utensil.

Repeat procedure for remaining

food to be cooked.

NOTE: Always replace or remove the

Frying basket carefully when

cooking. Oil is very hot and can

cause severe injury.

Using the Auto-Lift Frying Basket

Your deep fryer is equipped with an auto-

lift frying basket.

To raise the auto-lift frying basket:

• Depress the handle lock button to

unlock the basket handle, lift the basket

up and remove from deep fryer before

placing food to be fried into the fryer

basket.

• Depress the handle lock button that is

on the handle of the frying basket to

unlock the handle and the frying basket

will lower into the oil.

• Once the food has finished frying, lift

up the lid cover slowly and wait to allow

the steam to escape before opening

the lid cover completely.

• Depress the handle lock button once

more to unlock the handle and then lift

the frying basket out of the oil.

• Let the fried food drain for a few

seconds and then remove the basket

from the deep fryer.

• Do not mix different oils or new and old

oil together.

• Replace oil regularly. In general, oil will

be tainted fast when frying food containing
a lot of protein, (such as poultry, meat and
fish). When oil is used mainly to fry
potatoes and is filtered after each use, it
can be used up to 8 to 10 times, but do
not use the same oil for more than 6
months.

• Always replace all oil as soon as it starts

foaming when heated, when color
becomes dark, when it has a rancid smell
or taste or becomes syrupy.

• Make sure that the food to be fried is dry.
• Remove loose ice from frozen food before

frying.

• To cook evenly, pieces should be the

same size and thickness.

• Thicker pieces will take longer to cook.
