During cooking, you may see steam rising through the filter vent openings in the top
of the lid -this is normal; however, avoid this area while frying. Also, use caution
when opening the lid, as the steam generated during cooking will escape when
the lid is opened.
!
When desired cooking time is reached, the timer will ring; indicating that it is time to raise
the basket handle to its highest horizontal position (position until a “click” sound is
heard), which will raise the basket out of the oil, strain the oil from the food, and keep it
in the warming chamber until you are ready for it.
!
Press the OPEN button and open the lid.
!
Take out the basket and place the food on dishes (or first place on a paper towel
to help absorb any excess oil that may remain on the outside of the food).
!
Unplug the fryer.
!
Oil can be poured out and strained when the fryer has cooled (you may choose to use
the frying basket to hold a strainer/filter above your storage container as you pour the
oil through it).
