The 'Load or Drain' feature allows you
to safely add food to the frying basket
before frying and also drain excess oil
from the food once the frying has
been completed.
NOTE:
when cooking foods coated with
batter, lower the frying basket into
the hot oil then carefully add coated
food directly into the oil using metal
tongs – cook a few pieces at a time
– and follow Steps 11-14. placing
coated food directly into the frying
basket can cause some of the batter
to adhere to the frying basket.
10. Place the lid on top of the deep fryer
and by tilting the frying basket back
towards you, release the basket from
the ‘Load or Drain’ position and gently
lower it into the hot oil.
NOTE:
Care should be taken when lowering
food in the frying basket into the hot
oil. Some splattering may occur.
11. Raise the basket to see if the food has
reached the desired golden color and
texture. We recommend this is done by
using the viewing window on the lid to
avoid oil splattering.
12. Once the food has reached the desired
golden color and texture, carefully lift
the basket and lock it in the ‘Load or
Drain’ position. Allow oil to drain 10 to
20 seconds.
13. With hot pads or insulated oven mitts,
remove the lid and frying basket.
Place cooked food onto a wire rack or
absorbent paper towels.
NOTE: For best results, when
cooking the first batch of food,
allow the deep fryer to preheat for
approximately 20 minutes. The
'hEATING' light will cycle on and off
during this time.
8. When the 'HEATING' light goes out,
slide the tongue of the basket handle
into the recess in the housing. Lower the
basket until it stops in the ‘Load or Drain’
position. In this position the basket is
above the oil level.
NOTE:
Do not overfill the basket with food.
Overfilling lowers the overall oil
temperature causing food to absorb
oil and not cook properly.
NOTE:
when frying food that is not coated in
batter, make sure it is patted dry with
paper towels as excess moisture
causes the oil temperature to drop.
The smallest amount of water will
also cause hot oil to splatter.
9. Place food to be fried into the frying
basket. Always ensure that the basket is
not filled past the top.
