PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
• There is too much oil in fryer. Make sure that oil does not exceed maximum level mark.
• Basket/food immersed too quickly. Carefully raise basket out of oil.
• Food contains too much liquid or coated with ice crystals. Dry food thoroughly before placing it
in fryer. Follow instructions in "Frying" section on page 6.
• When frying food with a high moisture content (such as chicken or fries), change oil frequently.
• There is too much food in frying basket. Do not fry more food at one time than quantities
indicated on food package.
• Food contains too much liquid or coated with ice crystals. Dry food thoroughly before placing it
in fryer.
• When frying food with a high moisture content (such as chicken or fries), change oil frequently.
• Type of oil is not suitable for deep-frying food. Use good quality frying oil. Do not mix two
different types of oil or fat.
• Basket/food immersed too quickly. Carefully raise basket out of oil.
• The use of refrigerated oil may cause excessive splattering. Use room-temperature oil.
• Oil pot has not been cleaned properly. See instructions in the "Cleaning Your Fryer" section on
page 9.
• Water vapor from food collects on window. When unit is cold, wipe a small amount of oil on
inside of viewing window to prevent condensation buildup.
• To clean oil residue from oil pot, use a household degreaser.
