Frequently Asked Questions - WDF75RC Waring Commercial

What type of oil should I use in the Waring WDF75RC deep fryer?

Use high-smoke-point oils such as canola, peanut, or vegetable oil. Avoid flavored oils as they may burn at high temperatures.

How do I clean the deep fryer after use?

Turn off and unplug. Allow oil to cool completely. Drain oil via the drain valve. Remove basket and wash with warm soapy water. Wipe interior with a paper towel. Do not immerse the unit in water.

What is the maximum oil capacity?

The maximum oil capacity is 1.5 gallons (5.7 liters). Do not fill beyond the MAX line inside the fryer to prevent overflow.

How often should I change the oil?

Change oil after 8-10 uses or when it becomes dark, smokes excessively, or has a rancid odor. Regular filtering can extend oil life.

Can I fry frozen foods directly?

Yes, but avoid overloading the basket. Shake off excess ice before frying to reduce oil splatter. Lower frozen foods slowly to prevent sudden temperature drop.

What does the 'Ready' light indicate?

The Ready light turns on when the oil reaches the set temperature. It cycles on and off as the thermostat maintains the temperature.

How do I adjust the temperature?

Turn the thermostat dial to the desired temperature between 250°F and 400°F. The heating element will cycle to maintain the setting.

What safety features does this fryer have?

It includes automatic shut-off if overheating, cool-touch handles, non-skid feet, and a safety thermostat to prevent runaway heating.

Can I use the fryer without oil?

No. This is a traditional deep fryer that requires oil for operation. Using it without oil will damage the heating element and may cause a fire.

Where can I purchase replacement parts?

Replacement parts such as baskets, thermostats, and drain valves are available through Waring Commercial customer service or authorized dealers. Check the manual for part numbers.

9. Set timer (up to 30 minutes) to cooking time specified, depending on what you are cooking.
10. Timer will ring when set time has elapsed. Raise the baskets to see if the food has reached the required golden color. If the food is done, carefully lift and hang baskets on hooks inside the oil container. Allow oil to drain 10 to 20 seconds. Remove baskets, and place cooked food onto absorbent paper towels. NOTE: To preserve oil quality, do not add salt or spices to the food until after it has been removed from the fryer.

2. Lift out baskets.
3. Tilt heating element up from back side of fryer. This will drain oil without causing a mess. Once drained, remove from fryer.
4. The control panel should never be immersed in water or other liquids. Clean the outer surface of the heating element with a damp cloth containing mild soap solution or plain water.
5. Carefully tilt oil container, using spout on the corner to pour oil into suitable container.

6. The frying baskets should be hand washed before first use and should be seasoned in oil before going into the dishwasher for the first time. Oil container is dishwasher-safe. Dry parts thoroughly after cleaning.

7. The stainless steel body is submersible and should be washed by hand with warm soapy water.

8. Ensure that the oil container is completely dry after washing and before use.

SAFETY FEATURES

The Waring ^™ Commercial Professional Deep Fryer is equipped with the following features to ensure safety:

- Thermostat Overload Protection – Your Waring™ Commercial Professional Deep Fryer is equipped with thermostat overload protection. If the unit heats up beyond the recommended temperature level, the deep fryer will automatically turn off. To reset, unplug the unit from the wall outlet and allow it to cool down. Remove the control panel and heating element from the unit. CAUTION: Heating element is extremely hot. Allow it to cool thoroughly before removing it. You will find a reset button on the front of the control panel below controls.

Using a toothpick or another long, thin object, push the reset button and properly place the control panel back into position. NOTE: The unit will not work if the control panel is not properly mounted. Plug the unit back in, turn on

and continue use. If the unit still does not operate, repeat the steps above or call a Waring Certified Customer Service Center for assistance.

HINTS

• When cooking foods dipped in fresh batter, first lower baskets. Using tongs, add food directly to oil. Use baskets to lift out food when finished cooking.
• Do not exceed the MAX fill line in the baskets. This helps maintain temperature of oil for better cooking results.
• Sort or cut food into uniform pieces. All the food will then be cooked in the same amount of time. To reduce splattering, remove excess moisture or ice from food.
• Leave oil in oil container for a limited time. When oil has cooled to room temperature, pour into a suitable container with lid and refrigerate.
• For best results, change oil in deep fryer after a maximum of ten uses.
• It is important to follow the temperature recommendation for every recipe. If the temperature is too low, the fried food absorbs oil. If the temperature is too high, a crust quickly forms on the outside while the inside remains uncooked.
• For best results, drop freshly sliced food into baskets one piece at a time.

FRYING FROZEN FOODS

• Due to their extremely low temperature, frozen foods inevitably lower the temperature of the oil. For best results, do not overload the baskets with frozen foods.
• Follow the instructions on the frozen food package for cooking time and temperature.
• Frozen foods are frequently covered with a coating of ice crystals, which should be removed before frying. Lower

the baskets very slowly into the oil in order to ensure that oil does not boil over.

FILTERING AND CHANGING THE OIL

• Make sure the Waring™ Commercial Professional Deep Fryer is unplugged and the oil has cooled before cleaning or storing.
• 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 it is filtered after each use, it can be used 8 to 10 times. However, do not use the oil for longer than 6 months.
• WARNING: Always remove the plug from wall socket before cleaning. Allow the Waring™ Commercial Professional Deep Fryer and the oil to cool completely (approximately 2 hours) before cleaning. Never immerse the control panel, cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
