FRYING TIPS

• Always use the frying basket to fry food.
• Always close the lid cover during frying.
- 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 openings of the lid while frying.
• Avoid standing too close to the deep fryer while it is working.
• 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 or when color becomes dark or 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.
• When opening the lid, be extremely cautious of splashing hot oil.

FILTERING & CHANGING THE OIL

ATTENTION: Make sure the deep fryer is unplugged from the electrical socket and the oil has completely cooled before changing the oil, or cleaning and storing the deep fryer.

Note: 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 longer than 6 months.

To Filter the Oil:

1. Make sure the oil has completely cooled and then em oil from the oil reservoir into another container or bottle. 6)
2. Wash and dry the oil reservoir and frying basket.
3. Refill the oil reservoir with the oil by pouring the oil that a wire strainer or paper filter. (Fig. 7)
