Remove Handle and Frying Basket from inside the deep fryer. 2. Notice the eyelets on the interior side of the basket. 3. Squeeze the handle prongs in the middle. 4.

TIPS FOR DEEP FRYING • Fill the unit with oil between the maximum and minimum capacity lines only. • Do not over fill the basket. To achieve quality results deep frying food needs to be surrounded by oil. Too much food causes the oil temperature to drop, resulting in "soggy" food. Food should be no higher than the top of the basket. • Be sure that all ice crystals are removed from the food and food is completely dry. Excessive water and ice can cause the oil to splatter and/ or overflow. • Coated foods (bread crumbs, batters, etc.) are best for deep frying. The coating acts as a protective layer keeping food moist on the inside and crisp on the outside. • For best results, defrost frozen foods for 20 minutes prior to frying. • Fry foods at the correct temperature for best results. This will prevent burning and give you even colored, crispy food. • Prepackaged frozen, cooked chicken, may cook faster than uncooked food. •  For even cooking, shake basket half way through cooking time. HOW TO USE YOUR DEEP FRYER CAUTION: Never turn on the fryer with an empty Oil Reservoir. Always use your fryer on a flat, heat resistant surface. • Attach magnetic end of cord assembly directly to the fryer (See Figure 1). This should be done prior to plugging the cord into the wall outlet. www.oster.com 5 5/13/16 14:08

TIPS FOR DEEP FRYING
Fill the unit with oil between the maximum and minimum capacity lines
only.
Do not over fill the basket. To achieve quality results deep frying food
needs to be surrounded by oil. Too much food causes the oil temperature
to drop, resulting in “soggy” food. Food should be no higher than the top
of the basket.
Be sure that all ice crystals are removed from the food and food is
