Frequently Asked Questions - JFRI011022 Jocel

What type of oil should I use?

Use high-smoke-point oils like canola, peanut, or sunflower oil. Avoid olive oil or butter as they burn easily.

How much oil does the JFRI011022 require?

The maximum oil capacity is 1.5 L. Do not exceed the MAX fill line inside the tank.

Can I fry frozen foods directly?

Yes, but reduce the food quantity and increase frying time by a few minutes. Shake off excess ice before frying.

How do I clean the deep fryer?

Remove the oil tank and basket. Wash them with warm soapy water; the basket is dishwasher-safe. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Ensure all parts are dry before reassembling.

Why does my fryer smoke?

Smoking usually occurs if the oil is too hot or has been used many times. Reduce temperature or change the oil. Also ensure the exterior is clean.

How often should I change the oil?

Change oil after 8-10 uses or when it becomes dark, smells rancid, or smokes excessively. For best results, filter used oil through a fine sieve.

Can I use the fryer without oil?

No, this is a traditional deep fryer and requires oil for operation. Never operate it empty.

What is the maximum frying temperature?

The adjustable thermostat ranges from 150°C to 190°C (300°F to 375°F). Refer to your recipe for optimal temperature.

The timer doesn't stop the fryer – is that normal?

Yes, the timer only rings a bell; it does not shut off the heating element. You must manually turn off the fryer when the timer rings.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Unpack the fryer and read the instructions carefully

Clean the unit thoroughly before using for the first time.

Clean the basket in a dishwasher or with warm, soapy water, rinse and dry carefully.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Place the deep fryer on a stable flat surface.

Fill the frying bowl (oil pot) with fresh cooking oil. Butter, margarine, olive oil or animal fat is not recommended due to its lower smoking temperatures. Ensure the oil is above the Min mark and below the Max mark, seen on the inside of the bowl.

Plug the heater into the wall socket and switch on the wall socket.

Turn the rotary thermostat to the temperature setting required.

The 'Power on' light will glow.

Place the food in the frying basket, and slowly lower the basket into the oil. Place the lid onto the unit.

When the food finished cooking, lift the lid. Be careful when removing the lid, as hot steam may be emitted. Lift the basket out of the oil to drain, using the basket handle. Once the oil is drained, serve as desired.

Always unplug the deep fat fryer after use.

COOKING GUIDELINES:

Frozen food will lower the temperature of the oil, so do not put too much in at once. Frozen food will thus also take a little longer to cook.

It is advised to coat low-starch foods before cooking. This ensures tasty results and prevents the food from drying out during cooking.

The following is a time guide for common foods. This is a guide only.
