To clean your fryer, first unplug it and let it cool completely. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Remove the frying basket and oil container, and wash them with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before reassembling.
For best results, use oils with high smoke points such as peanut oil, canola oil, or sunflower oil. Avoid using butter or olive oil as they have lower smoke points.
Check if the fryer is properly plugged in and the temperature control is set correctly. Ensure that the safety interlock is engaged. If the problem persists, consult the user manual or contact customer support.
It is recommended to change the oil after 8-10 uses, or when you notice a change in color, odor, or taste. Regularly filtering the oil after each use can help extend its life.
If smoke is emitted, reduce the temperature immediately. Ensure you are using the correct amount and type of oil. Also, check for any leftover food particles in the oil that may be causing the smoke.
Yes, you can cook frozen food in the fryer. However, be cautious of oil splatter. It’s recommended to shake off any excess ice and adjust the frying time and temperature accordingly.
After cleaning and drying, store your fryer in a cool, dry place. It’s best to keep it covered to protect it from dust and debris. Ensure all removable parts are dry to prevent mold or mildew.
Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature before frying. Overcrowding the basket can also lead to less crispy food, as it lowers the oil temperature rapidly. Fry in small batches for best results.
Use a splatter screen and ensure proper ventilation by turning on the exhaust fan or opening windows. Cleaning the fryer and surrounding area immediately after use can also help reduce lingering odors.
Always keep the fryer on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Do not overfill with oil, and keep the power cord away from water. Never leave the fryer unattended when in use, and keep it out of reach of children.
