Fryer Basket Cover w/ Handle• Make sure the deep fryer is unplugged and the oil has cooled before cleaning or storing the deep fryer. • The oil does not need to be changed after each use. In general, the oil will be tainted rather quickly when frying food containing a lot of protein (such as poultry, meat or fish). When oil is mainly used to fry potatoes and is filtered after each use, it can be used 8 to 10 times. However, do not use the same oil for longer than 6 months. • To filter the oil first make sure the oil has cooled and then empty the oil from the oil container into another container or bottle. Fig. 5Wash and dry the oil container and basket. Refill the oil container with the oil, pouring the oil through a wire strainer or paper filter.

Filling the Frying Basket• Do not fill the frying basket when it is immersed in oil. • Place the food in the frying basket. Do not overfill it and never exceed the maximum quantities. For optimum results and shorter frying time, basket should be only 1/2 full. • The basket has approximately 1 lbs. food capacity. It will hold 3- 4 average size pieces of chicken. • Do not fill the basket higher than the MAX line on the basket with frozen food.Warning: When frying foods, remove the frying basket from the deep fryer before filling with frozen food because oil will spatter and cause burns. Caution: When frying frozen foods such as French Fries, you should not exceed 3/4 Lb. (350 gr.) or less. 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, ready indicator light will come on it 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. • Press the power button and the power off. • Unplug the main cord from the wall socket. • Lift up the lid cover slowly and wait to allow steam to escape before opening the lid cover completely. • Lift up the frying basket by the handle. Place it on the oil container and allow the food to drain for a min...
