Oil Care

Overflow Risk

Filter only when the oil temperature is less than 275° F (135° C). Failure to do so can result in oil overflowing the vat, causing serious burns, personal injury, and/or property damage.

With prolonged use, the flashpoint of oil is reduced.

To avoid personal injury or property damage, do not use oil that is foaming or shows signs of excessive smoking.

If the oil temperature exceeds 420°F (216°C), immediately shut off the power at the main circuit breaker and have the fryer repaired. If oil temperature exceeds its flash-point, fire will occurs, resulting in severe burns and/or property damage.

  1. Frying breaded products requires frequent filtering to keep the oil clean.The peanut oil should be filtered after every 5 Cook Cycles for electric fryers, and after every 4 Cook Cycles for gas fyers. Refer to Filtering the Oil.

  2. Maintain the peanut oil at the proper cooking level. Add fresh peanut oil as needed.
