Prior to each use, make sure the lock bar on the basket handle is in the down (locked) position; see page 2, Fig. C.

4. While the oil is preheating, prepare the food for frying. Remove any excess moisture by patting dry with paper towels. Moist foods cause excess foaming and spattering. Place the basket on the countertop. The basket can be filled ⅔ full for most foods. CAUTION! For homemade fries, fill the basket only ⅓ full. Overfilling can result in the oil boiling over, which may cause burns or damage to the multi-cooker. 5.

Frying Timetable The following times are approximate and based on maximum recommended amounts of food and 1 gallon of oil. Fill basket no more than ⅔ full for most foods. When frying homemade french fries, fill the basket only ⅓ full. If using less than 1 gallon of oil, the quantity of food will need to be reduced.
