Wipe the non-stick interior with a soft damp cloth.

SELECTING FRYING OIL:
1)
For healthy deep-frying oils, we suggest the following:
-
Corn oil
-
Canola oil
Mixed Vegetable oil
-
* These oils are all low in fat and cholesterol free.
2)
Below is a list of oils that are unhealthy and highly not recommended:
-
Peanut oil
Soy oil
-
-
Sunflower oil
-
Olive oil
Lard
-
3)
It is highly recommended not to use old and new oil mixed together. This
deteriorates the new oil quicker.
4)
The number of times the oil can be reused depends on the type of food that
is being fried. For example, foods that are heavily coated with batter, bread
crumbs will need to be frequently changed

FRYING:
1)
When the oil has reached the correct temperature, the indicator light will shut
off. Please take caution when opening the lid, the oil will be very hot.
2)
Carefully place food into the frying basket. Slide the basket into place using
the plastic guides located in the front of the unit. DO NOT LOWER
BASKET INTO THE OIL YET!
3)
When frying foods that are coated with batter, simply place the foods directly
into the non-stick interior oil pot. It is recommended not to use the basket
with battered foods for the batter may catch on the wiring of the basket and
create a mess when removing the foods from the basket.
4)
Make sure not to over fill the basket or the inner oil pot, this will cause the
foods to be sometimes over-cooked or under-cooked.
5)
Note: Make sure to shake frozen foods to remove any ice particles that
may have collected before you place foods into the deep fryer. Pat dry
any damp foods prior to frying. Water condensation may sometimes
result in splashing of the oil.

Close the lid gently by pressing down and snapping it closed.
7)
Use the frying chart on the next page for recommended cooking times.

basket to lower the basket into the oil while the lid is closed. This will
prevent any splattering of oils getting in contact with your skin or clothing./

while the lid is still shut, this will lift the basket out of the oil and let it sit for 3-
5 minutes to drain off any access oils.
