Battered food should not be put into the basket directly. The batter will wrap around the basket coils and get stuck. Lower the basket into the oil first. Wearing gloves when placing battered food directly in oil.
#2 HOW OFTEN SHOULD I CHANGE THE FILTER ON MY DEEP FRYER?
Metallic charcoal filters should be changed between 35 to 50 frying sessions, depending on model (the saturation indicator shows when the filter needs to be changed). Foam filters should be changed after 20 frying sessions. If you are frying fish we recommend using a separate filter and changing the oil after use. Waterclean filters made of carbon fibres should be washed after 80 uses (it regenerates after each wash). The Pure Air system is a permanent system that does not need to be replaced.
#3 HOW LONG SHOULD IT TAKE FOR MY FRYER TO HEAT THE OIL?
The heating time will vary depending on the model and size. Whether you have a fixed bowl model or a removable bowl can make a difference. The average time for all should be between 10 and 18 minutes. The temperature indicator light will be on while the fryer is heating up. The light will go off when the fryer has reached temperature.
