PROBLEM
During frying, the oil spills
over the edge of the fryer.
Condensation forms on
viewing window.
Oil film buildup on oil tank.
PROBABLE CAUSE
• 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. Dry food thoroughly before placing it in fryer. Follow instructions in
“Frying” section.
• 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 or Frying Chart.
• 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.
• The use of refrigerated oil may cause excessive splattering. Use room-temperature oil.
• Oil tank has not been cleaned properly. See instructions in the “Cleaning Your Fryer” section.
• 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.
• Use plastic scouring pad to clean.
• To clean oil residue from oil tank, use a household degreaser.
