HELPFUL HINTS

Frying

• Never over-fill the frying basket with food. Maximum basket capacity is 2/3 full.
• Fry more batches of smaller amounts of food. Best results are obtained when the hot oil can freely 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 in the same amount of time.
• Avoid spatter foam. Dry damp foods before placing into oil. Be sure foods are free from ice crystals and excess moisture before frying.
• 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 frying or when the food is draining above the oil.
• Space 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 into the basket first and then lower the frying basket into the hot oil. Oil
• WARNING! Never, under any circumstances, add water or any other liquid to the oil.
• Never over-fill or under-fill the oil pan. Before frying, check to make sure the oil level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the inside of the oil pan.
• WARNING: Under- or over-filling the oil tank may damage the Deep Fryer and could result in serious personal injury.
• See RECOMMENDED OILS FOR DEEP FAT FRYING for the best oils to use and approximate smoke points.
• Never use hard fats (melt first).
• Never mix different oils together to fry foods.
• Never use butter or margarine to fry foods.
• When frying fish or seafood, the oil may absorb a “fishy” taste or odor. To eliminate transferring any “fishy” taste or odor to other foods, the oil must be changed.

DRAINING & RECYCLING OIL

WARNING! Allow the Deep Fryer to cool fully before draining and recycling the oil.

1. Although oil does not have to be changed after every use, frying oil should be filtered and recycled regularly.

2. Following the detailed procedures described in Care & Cleaning Instructions, remove the frying basket and heating element cover.

3. Using a large funnel, filter the cooled oil through a fine sieve into a wide-neck, airtight, covered container.
   NOTE: Alternatively, place a piece of clean cotton material into the frying basket to filter used oil.

4. This process is safe to repeat after 3 or 4 frying sessions without the oil deteriorating.

5. When oil is mainly used to fry potatoes, and is filtered after every use, oil may be used up to 8 times.

6. As oil will absorb food flavors and odors, it’s a good idea to label containers with the type of food that was cooked in the oil. For example: sweet desserts, vegetables, chicken, fish, etc.
   NOTE: DO NOT pour used oil down any drain. Discard used oil into a lidded container and dispose properly.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

If a problem occurs that does not appear on this table, stop using the fryer and seek help from the manufacturer, a qualified technician or an authorized dealer.

Temperature safety reset switch

This unit is equipped with a switch that cuts off power if the oil temperature reaches 465°F (240°C). This switch has a manual reset. The reset switch and cover is usually located on the back panel of the unit, EF-12L series on the Front. Determine what caused the safety switch to activate and correct it. Poss ble causes include: dirty oil, low oil level and element not properly submerged in oil.

To reset the temperature safety switch, follow the 4 steps below:

1. Wait until the oil has cooled to 300°F (148°C) or below.
2. Remove the switch cover by unscrewing the cover counterclockwise.
3. Use a pen or similar narrow tool and press the reset button down. The button should stay in the down or in the set position.
4. Place the switch cover back on and secure by screwing clockwise.

Micro Switch

This unit is equipped with a Micro Switch. The switch allows power to the heating element when it is in the correct position. See Figure below. Micro Switch:

1. When the head (C) is in the correct or down position the Micro Switch (A) is pushed in from pad (B) and the heating element will be supplied with power.
2. When the head (F) is in the up position or removed from the unit and pad, (E) switch goes to the “OFF” (D) position and cuts power to the heating element.
