Frequently Asked Questions - DF-706 Brentwood

How much oil should I use in the Brentwood DF-706?

Fill to the MAX fill line inside the pot, typically about 1.5 liters. Do not overfill.

Can I use olive oil in this deep fryer?

Yes, but olive oil has a lower smoke point. For best results, use oils with high smoke points like canola, peanut, or vegetable oil.

How do I clean the deep fryer?

Unplug and let it cool completely. Remove the oil reservoir and basket; they are dishwasher safe. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base in water.

Why does the unit shut off during cooking?

The automatic shutoff may activate if the temperature exceeds safe limits. Check that oil level is adequate and the unit is not overheating. Allow it to cool before restarting.

How long does it take to preheat the oil?

Preheating to 350°F (175°C) typically takes 8-12 minutes. The ready light will indicate when it reaches the set temperature.

Can I fry frozen foods?

Yes, but shake off any excess ice to prevent splashing. Fry smaller batches for even cooking and safety.

What is the maximum capacity for food?

Do not fill the basket more than halfway to avoid overflow and ensure proper cooking. Refer to the manual for specific batch sizes.

How do I adjust the temperature?

Turn the thermostat dial to your desired temperature, usually between 300°F and 375°F. The indicator light will cycle as it maintains the temperature.

Is the basket removable?

Yes, the basket lifts out easily using the cool-touch handle. It can be detached from the basket rod for cleaning.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Using Your Deep Fryer:

Please note measurement Information:

MAX CAPACITY FOR OIL: 1.5L / 6.3 CUPS / 1.58 QUARTS

FULL CAPACITY OF POT: 5L / 21.1 CUPS / 5.28 QUARTS

WARNING: Never turn on the fryer with an empty OIL RESERVOIR and make sure it is on a flat, heat resistant surface. Please adjust the function dial as the following illustration:

- Note: when the desired temperature is reached, the indicator light may go on and off during the operation. This is a normal situation as the thermostat is activated to maintain the temperature.

Deep Frying

A. Heating oil:

1. Pour the oil into the pot. Make sure the oil-filling level is between the MIN and MAX level lines, which are located on the inside of the pot.
2. Turn the dial to the setting "DEEP FRY".
3. Close the lid of the multi-cooker.
4. Attach the cord to the unit by aligning the magnetic plug end of the cord assembly with the plug face up, where marked with the words "THIS SIDE UP".
5. Plug another end of the cord assembly into a 120V wall outlet. The indicator light comes on.
6. Preheat oil until the indicator light goes off. At this moment, the oil temperature is ready for frying the foods.

Note:

• Use only blended vegetable oil, pure corn oil, or peanut oil.
• Do not use ground-nut oil, sunflower oil, soya oil, olive oil, lard or dripping.
• Never mix different oils and fats together.
• Do not mix the used oil with the new oil together if possible.
• Store the used oil in the pot with lid closed, without being plugged in, to keep it fresh and clean.

B. Filling the frying basket:

1. Gently place the foods to be fried into the frying basket and do not exceed the capacity of the basket. Never overfill.

Note:

• Moist foods, such as chipped potatoes, need to be blotted with a towel before frying. Moist foods cause excess foaming, spattering, and crackling.
• Remove any ice crystals before putting the frozen foods into the hot oil. Frying frozen foods will take a little longer time.

C. Frying food:

1. Insert the basket handle by sliding the end of the handle into the fixing groove of the basket to hold the basket. See the following photos for the details.
2. Make sure that the indicator light goes out before frying food.
3. Hold the basket with foods and slowly lower it into the interior bottom of the pot. Then take the basket handle off the basket.
4. Cover the pot with the glass lid, if you prefer, to avoid occasional spattering of hot oil.
5. Follow the food pack instructions or cooking guide on Page 8 for the frying time and in the meanwhile, you can monitor the frying effect through the glass lid.
6. Wait a couple of minutes to let the oil vapor escape when food reaches desired brownness. Turn off the unit and then open the glass lid.
7. Insert the basket handle into the basket groove. Lift the basket with fried food out of the pot and place the fried food on the absorbent paper. Season to taste.
8. Unplug the cord from wall outlet and then from the unit when unit is not in use.

Caution:

• Do not plunge the basket quickly into hot oil.
• Do not touch the pot and glass lid when unit is hot. Grasp the plastic lid knob to open the lid.
• Do not carry or move the unit when the oil is hot.

Note:

• If too much food is fried at the same time, the food will not get crisp.
• The pieces of food should be of equal size and thickness.
• Avoid cooking pieces of food that are extra thick.

Suggestion: It is time to replace the cooking oil if any of the following occur:

• The oil is dark in color.
- The oil has an unpleasant odor.
- The oil smokes when it is heated.
- The oil foams excessively during frying.
• After 8-12 uses.

Stewing

1. Remove the lid and basket.
2. Add some water or soup in the pot per the cooking instructions guide on Page 8.
3. Place the food into the pot. Cover the lid.
4. Turn the dial to the setting "SIMMER".
5. Adjust the dial to keep the liquid continuously appearing small bubbles when the liquid is boiling.
6. Follow the cooking guide on Page 8 instructions for the stewing time. Taste food when cooking time is up. Add more stewing time if the softer taste is needed.

Note:

• Frozen foods need to be defrosted before stewing.
• Avoid removing the lid during stewing.

- Make sure that the water or soup covers the food to be stewed.

Steaming

1. Add sufficient water into the pot, but don't overflow the steamer rack.
2. Place the food into the basket. And then cover the lid.
3. Turn the dial to the setting "STEAM/BOIL".
4. Follow the cooking guide on Page 8 for instructions on steaming time. Add more steam time if softer food is preferred or food requires more steaming time.

Note:

• Frozen foods need more steaming time.
• Avoid removing the lid during steaming.
• Food may be placed before heating or after boiling depending on the instruction on the cooking guide on Page 8.
• Add more boiling water, if needed, to extend the steaming time.
• Use aluminum foil in the basket to hold the food if you intend to retain the juice from the food.

Cleaning Your Deep Fryer:

WARNING: Always turn the appliance to "OFF" and unplug the product, allow it to cool before cleaning or storing it.

NOTICE: Always disconnect appliance from the outlet and then remove the Magnetic Plug from the unit. The plug should always remain on during operation. If it becomes disconnected, immediately unplug the cord from the wall outlet then reconnect the magnetic cord to the socket.

1. Clean the outside of the Multicooker with a damp cloth, and then dry.
2. Clean the inside of the Multicooker and the basket when you change oil. Use a cloth, hot water and soap. For stains use non-scratching cream cleaner.
3. Rinse and thoroughly dry the pot before refilling with oil.
4. Clean the lid in hot water and kitchen detergent solution.
5. Do not use abrasive powders, hard abrasive scourers, and wire wool or washing soda crystals.

USEFUL FRYING TIPS:

After the frozen food thaw, please fill the food into the basket.

Always dry food well, especially chipped potatoes. If left damp they will not turn crisp. All foods, except those with a high starch content (chips, doughnuts), should be coated before frying. Typical coating is seasoned flour, breadcrumbs, or batter. When frying, carefully time foods to avoid overcooking. The cooking time may vary according to the quantity and thickness of the food being fried.

Remember a difference of one or two minutes can result in over cooked food.
