oftheDeepFryer and the oil have cooled completely before discarding or storing oil
andcleaning the unit.
Helpful Hints
• Never over-ll the frying basket with food.
• Fry more batches of smaller amounts of food. Best results are obtained when the hot oil
canfreely circulate all around the food.
• In general, pre-cooked foods require higher temperatures and less cooking time.
• Cut or sort food into uniform sizes. Cook same-size pieces together so they will be cooked
inthe same amount of time.
• Be sure foods are free from ice crystals and excess moisture before frying.
Water on the surface of the food can cause the oil to spatter and foam.
• When using a breading, evenly coat the food to be fried. Fine, uniform crumbs stick better
than coarse, uneven ones. Shake off all extra breading to help keep oil clean.
• To prevent contamination of the oil, do not add salt or other spices to the food during
fryingor when the food is draining above the oil.
• Space out coated foods so they do not touch while cooking.
• For best results when frying doughs or foods dipped in a liquid batter, place the foods
intothe frying basket rst and then lower the frying basket into the hot oil.
• Always use the frying basket to lift food out of the oil; hook the frying basket to the rim
andallow oil to drain. Then remove fried food from the frying basket.
• Place fried foods on brown grocery bags to drain oil and keep fried foods crispy.

Frying Oil
• Never over-ll or under-ll the fryer with oil. Both the MIN and MAX oil levels are marked
on the inside of the tank.
WARNING: Under- or over-lling the oil tank may damage the appliance and could result
inserious personal injury.
• Always use oil with low water content like sunower oil, grapeseed oil, vegetable oil
orcornoil. Never use hard fats, olive oil or oil with a high water content.
WARNING! Never, under any circumstances, add water or any other liquid to the oil.
• Never mix different oils together to fry foods.
• Never use butter or margarine to fry foods.
• When frying sh or seafood, the oil may absorb a “shy” taste or odor. To eliminate
transferring this “shy” taste or odor to other foods, we suggest changing the oil before
frying other foods.
Draining & Recycling Oil
WARNING! Be careful around hot parts and hot spitting oil. Remember that the oil is actually
hotter than boiling water! Never put hands in the oil. Always keep hands and face away from
rising steam or spitting oil.
• Oil should be drained and recycled regularly.
• DO NOT pour oil from the appliance without rst removing frying basket from
theappliancebody.
NOTE: DO NOT pour used oil down any household drain. Discard used oil into a container
with a lid and dispose in garbage.
• Filter the cooled oil through a ne sieve into a wide-neck, airtight, covered container.
Use a funnel to avoid oil spillage.
NOTE: Neatly arranged paper towels or piece of clean cotton material can be placed
inthefrying basket to lter used oil.
SO-316291_90093_Deep fryer 1.6QT SS_BB_05.indd 11 2019-05-24 5:14 PM

• As oil will absorb food avors and odors, it’s a good idea to label the container with
thetype of food that was cooked in the oil. For example: sweet desserts, vegetables,
chicken, sh, etc.
