Perfect Frying; Frying Non-Frozen Food - DeLonghi DEEP FRYER Instructions For Use Manual

5/8 times or it should be completely changed in the following circumstances:
unpleasant odor, smoke when frying, oil becomes dark in color.

PERFECT FRYING

• The food to be fried should not be lowered into the oil until the the signal light switches off.
• Do not overfill the basket. Too much food in the basket lowers the temperature of the oil suddenly, with the result that
the food will be greasy and unevenly-fried.
• When frying small quantities of food, the temperature of the oil must be set lower than the temperature
indicated to avoid the oil boiling too violently.
• Check that the food is sliced thinly and evenly. Thick slices will not be fried throughout, although they will
look very attractive on the outside. If the food is evenly sliced, each slice will be perfectly fried at the same
time.
• Be sure to dry the food carefully before frying. Damp foods - especially potatoes - remain soggy after
frying. Foods with a high water content (e.g. fish, meat and vegetables) should be dipped in breadcrumbs
or flour. Remember to shake off any excess flour or breadcrumbs before frying.
