Frequently Asked Questions - MFR-08 MPM

What type of oil should I use in the MPM MFR-08 deep fryer?

Use only reliable quality vegetable oil or dedicated deep fry oil. Avoid butter, margarine, olive oil, or animal fat as they have lower evaporation temperatures and may cause excessive foaming or smoking.

How do I clean the deep fryer?

Unplug and let cool completely. Remove the oil container and basket. Wash the basket and lid in warm detergent water (basket and lid are dishwasher-safe). Wipe the housing with a damp cloth. Never immerse the housing in water or use abrasive cleaners.

Can I reuse the frying oil?

Yes, you can reuse oil. Strain it through a fine sieve or cheesecloth to remove food residues. Store in a sealed container away from heat and sunlight. Replace the oil if it becomes dark, smokes when heated, or foams excessively.

Why does the viewing window steam up during frying?

It is normal for the viewing window to steam up during the first few minutes of frying. The steam will disappear as cooking progresses, provided the window is clean.

How do I lower and raise the basket safely?

To lower the basket, release the lock button on the handle and gently lower it into the oil. To raise, lift the handle until it locks in the upright position. Always use the handle – do not touch the basket directly.

What should I do if the oil starts smoking?

Immediately turn off the fryer and unplug it. Do not add water to the oil. Allow the oil to cool down before handling. Smoking oil indicates it is overheating or has degraded; replace it if necessary.

Can I fry frozen food directly?

Yes, but ensure excess ice or water is removed to prevent splattering. Do not put wet food into hot oil. Refer to the frying timetable in the manual for recommended temperatures and times for frozen items.

What is the maximum oil level?

The maximum oil level is 2.5 L (indicated as MAX inside the container). Do not exceed this to avoid overflow. The minimum level is 2.0 L (MIN).

Is the deep fryer safe to leave unattended?

No, never leave the operating appliance unattended. Always monitor frying, especially with hot oil. The timer can help control cooking time, but you should stay nearby.

How do I set the timer for continuous operation?

Rotate the timer knob counter-clockwise to the ON position. This will allow the appliance to operate without a time limit. To set a specific time, turn clockwise to the desired minutes (up to 30).

USEFUL TIPS

When using the fryer for the first time a slight odour or light smoking can occur. This is normal during initial use.
It is recommended to fry products of similar size and thickness so they fry more equally in the same time.
Fill the basket no more than 2/3 full. If more products are fried, they will not be crisp.

▶ Fish, vegetables and meat should be coated before frying.
Use only metal cutlery. Plastic or rubber cutlery will be damaged in hot oil! Do not leave cutlery in the fryer!

After each use, strain oil through a double thickness of cheesecloth/ fine sieve to remove the accumulated residue.

The number of times the frying oil can be reused will depend on the food that is fried in it. It will need to be replaced more often if coated fish or meat is fried.

It is time to replace the frying oil if any of the following occur: the oil is dark in colour, smokes when it is heated, or foams excessively during frying.
