Should I keep the lid on during use?
Yes, the lid helps retain heat, and keeps splatter inside unit.

WARNING
TIPS FOR FRYING FOOD WITH BATTER COATING
• NEVER place frozen or icy meat in oil. Use extreme caution when cooking frozen
foods. Never fill oil past max fill line or exceed maximum amount of food in basket.
Spill over can cause serious injury. Slowly lower basket into hot oil and cover with lid.
Always wear protective gloves or mitts.
• When using drain hook on basket, make sure that basket is firmly in place on rim of
pot before releasing handle so basket will not fall back into hot oil causing personal
injury.
• Make sure food is always sliced thinly and evenly. This helps the food to be fried evenly.
• Shake off any excess flour or bread crumb coating to prevent any clumps from forming when frying.
• If you wish to use the basket when frying foods coated with batter, it is recommended to lower the
basket when frying the basket into the hot oil first and then gently and carefully place battered foods
into the oil directly. This will prevent the batter from catching and sticking to the wiring of the basket.
• Never fill the basket more than 2/3 full. In order to cook evenly, the food needs space for oil to fry each
side.
