Frying Food; Frying Tips - Kenmore 69298 Owner's Manual

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
13. When cooking is completed, press
the "Start/Stop" button and remove
the plug from the electrical outlet.
Allow the oil in the Oil Container to
cool completely for approximately
two (2) hours before attempting to
remove the oil and clean the Deep
Fryer.
NOTE: Do NOT disconnect the Deep
Fryer by pulling on the "Break Away"
Power Cord.
WARNING:
Although your Deep
Fryer has a Cool Touch Exterior, to
avoid possible injury or burns, never
touch any metal parts on the Deep
Fryer because they may be hot.
IMPORTANT
• Do not fill the Frying Basket with frozen
food when basket is immersed in hot
oil.
• Place the food in the Frying Basket. Do
not drop food into hot cooking oil. Do
not overfill it and never exceed the
maximum quantities. For optimum
results and shorter frying time, basket
should be only 1/2 full.
• The basket has approximately 1 lb.
food capacity. It will hold 3-4 average
size pieces of chicken.
• Do NOT fill the basket higher than the
MAX line on the basket with frozen
food.

Frying Food

WARNING:
When frying foods, remove
the Frying Basket from the Deep Fryer
before filling with frozen food because oil
will spatter and can cause burns.
WARNING:
When frying frozen foods
such as French Fries, you should not
exceed 3/4 Lb. (350 gr.) or less. Clean off
any ice from frozen food prior to frying.
Failure to do so may cause fryer to
overflow when food is placed in oil.
CAUTION:
Never plug in the Control
Panel when it is not assembled to the
fryer body. Do not immerse the Control
Panel, Power Cord or plug in water or
any other liquid.
CAUTION:
This unit should not be
used to boil water.
• Always use the Frying Basket to fry food.
• Always close the Cover during frying.
• When the oil is pre-heated, Ready
Indicator Light will come on indicating
the desired oil temperature has been
reached.
• Slowly lower the Frying Basket into the
hot oil. Lowering the Frying Basket too
quickly can result in the oil overflowing
and splashing.
• Replace the Cover carefully.
• It is normal for steam to escape through
the sides of the Cover while frying.
• Avoid standing too close to the Deep
Fryer while it is cooking.
WARNING:
When opening the Cover
after frying, lift up the Cover slightly, then
wait to allow steam to escape before
opening the Cover completely. Keep face
away from unit to avoid burns caused by
escaping steam.

Frying Tips

• To avoid condensation buildup on the
Cover Window - rub a little cooking oil
on window.
• Do not mix different oils or new and old
oil together.
• Replace oil regularly. In general, oil
used to fry food with protein, (such as
poultry, meat and fish) should not be
reused. When oil is used mainly to fry
potatoes and is filtered after each use,
it can be used up to 8 to 10 times, but
do not use the same oil for more than
6 months.
• Always replace all oil as soon as it
starts foaming when heated or when
color becomes dark or when it has a
rancid smell or taste or becomes
syrupy.
• Make sure that the food to be fried is
dry.
• Remove loose ice from frozen food
before frying.
• To cook evenly, pieces should be the
same size and thickness.
• Thicker pieces will take longer to cook.
