RECOMMENDED FRYING TIMES AND TEMPERATURES

NOTE:
– The frying times in the chart below are approximate and should be adjusted to suit your own tastes, different food quantities, and food manufacturer’s instructions.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT COOKING OIL
As a general rule, choose cooking oils with a high smoke point and avoid flavored oils.
Suitable: Pure corn oil, blended vegetable oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, grape seed oil, peanut oil
Not suitable: Olive oil, walnut oil, lard

COOKING WITH OIL
Cooking oil can enhance the food’s flavor ­ or spoil its taste. As with any other food component, freshness and correct handling of the oil is the key to successful deep-frying results. The quality of the oil decreases with use at high temperatures. Food particles, water, and other liquids will further lower its quality, therefore:
• Do not mix different cooking oils.
• Only use fresh and clean cooking oils:
– Regularly remove burnt food particles while frying. Always use utensils that are safe to immerse into hot oils without damaging the utensil or the appliance, and always wear oven mitts when removing any burnt food particles.
– After use and before storage, filter oil with the integrated filtration system ( Oil Filtration)
– Do not reuse oil that has been used to fry fish or other strongly flavored food.
– Some meats, such as chicken wings, will release large amounts of liquids when frying, thus watering down the oil. Do not reuse this oil.
Do not use the cooking oil anymore if you notice the following:
Before use: oil smells rancid or its color has visibly darkened.
While frying: oil is foaming strongly of smoke that appears on the oil’s surface at normal operating temperature.

OIL FILTRATION

NOTE:
– Filter the oil after each use. Store filtered oil properly ( Storing oil).
– Discard oil on a regular basis depending on oil quality ( Cooking with oil).
– After switching off the appliance, wait at least 4 hours for the oil to cool down, depending on the settings selected during use. Hotter oil will take longer to reach a cool temperature.
– Filtering the oil after each use will help prolong the life of the cooking oil, but it should still be discarded if the oil deteriorates after multiple uses. We estimate that oil, in normal use, should be changed at least after every 10 uses.
• Ensure the Oil Container is assembled, empty, and in place inside the appliance.
• Once the oil has cooled down to room temperature, turn the Oil Filtration Control Knob to the FILTER OIL position (ill. (r) ). The oil will start dripping inside the Oil Container. The Oil Filter Cover will keep food residues from being transferred to the Oil Container.
• When all oil has been filtered:
– Turn the Oil Filtration Control Knob to the LOCK position if the container will remain inside the appliance.
– Turn the Oil Filtration Control Knob to UNLOCK position if the container is to be removed from the appliance.
NOTE:
– Always wait 4 hours until the oil has cooled down completely, before draining or filtering.
– Extreme caution must be used when moving the appliance while the Oil Reservoir and Oil Container are not both empty.
– When removing the Oil Container from the appliance, handle with care. Keep the Oil Container flat and hold it with both hands.

Emptying the Oil Container
Filtered oil can be stored in a suitable container ( Storing oil) or re-used for frying a new batch of food ( Cooking with oil).

• Unscrew the Cap on top of the Oil Container (ill. (s) ).
• Slowly pour the Oil Container content into a suitable container or the Oil Reservoir, if required.
NOTE:
– Ensure the Oil Filtration Control Knob is in UNLOCK position before pouring oil into the Oil Reservoir.
– Tilt the Oil Container upwards (vertical position) gradually to avoid leaks from the side of the container.
– Oil can be stored in the Oil Reservoir, inside the deep fryer, or in another cool dry place ( Storing oil).
• Screw the Cap back on top of the Oil Container.
• Insert the Oil Container back into the appliance and turn the Oil Filtration Control
Knob to the LOCK position to secure the Oil Container in place (ill. (t) ).

STORING OIL

• Do not store used cooking oil in the refrigerator. Choose a cool place that is not subject to sunlight. Generally, the oil may be stored for a period of 3 months, once the bottle is opened. Please observe the oil manufacturer’s storage directions as well.

HINTS AND TIPS

• Smaller quantities of food normally require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger quantities of food.

• To reduce cooking time, defrost food prior to cooking. It is recommended that some foods should not be thawed/defrosted prior to cooking, such as frozen fish, and frozen French fries.

• It is recommended to use a meat thermometer to check the cooking progress.

• In the event of food flare-ups, do not remove the Lid, do not remove the Frying
  Basket; turn the Temperature Control Knob to the 0 positions and unplug the appliance.

• When the food you are cooking requires shaking, it is recommended to use a timer set for half of the suggested cooking time. This way a bell will ring and remind you to shake the Frying Basket.

• It is recommended to only use nylon, heat-proof plastic, or wooden cooking utensils. Metal utensils may become hot and damage the non-stick surface. Always remove utensils from the appliance. Do not leave them in the appliance during use.
