Helpful Hints
• When cooking foods dipped in fresh batter, lower basket first. Using tongs, add food directly to oil. Use basket to
lift food out when finished cooking.
• Fill the basket no more than half full for best results. This helps maintain oil temperature for better cooking
results.
• Sort or cut food into uniform pieces. All the food will then be cooked in the same amount of time.
• To reduce splattering, remove excess moisture or ice from food.
• Store oil in oil reservoir for only a limited time. When oil has cooled to room temperature, pour into a suitable
container with lid and refrigerate.
• For best results, change oil in fryer after a maximum of fifteen uses.
