and the filters will absorb oil and food vapours and help neutralise frying smells.

position and a bell will ring.
If you are not using the timer: Switch the fryer off unless you are frying a second batch.

Replace oil frequently.
Discoloured oil, rancid oil, oil that emits an unpleasant
odour or oil that foams excessively when heated should not be used.

Take into account the type of food when you set the frying temperature. Generally,
precooked foods need a higher cooking temperature than raw foods.
•
If you need to add oil, do so between batches. Allow the oil to heat up to the right
temperature before continuing - ("Ready" light on).
•
Follow your recipe to help you set the correct time so the food cooks properly.
