Helpful Hints  
• When cooking foods dipped in fresh batter, lower basket first. Using tongs, add food directly to oil. Use basket to  
lift out food when finished cooking.  
• Fill the basket no more than half full for best results. This helps maintain the oil temperature for better cooking  
results.  
• Sort or cut food into uniform pieces. All the food will then be cooked in the same amount of time.  
• To reduce splattering, remove excess moisture or ice from the food.  
• Store oil in the oil reservoir for only a limited time. When oil has cooled to room temperature, pour into a  
suitable container with lid and refrigerate.  
• For best results, change oil in fryer after a maximum of ten uses.
