has been killed. When reheating meat/poultry products, they should also be cooked
to an internal temperature of 165º F/74º C.
NOTE: Frozen foods may require different cooking times and temperatures;
follow package directions. Use 375º F/191º C for all foods that have package instructions
for a higher temperature and adjust times as necessary.
IMPORTANT: Remove ice crystals from frozen foods before placing in the hot oil.
CAUTION: NEVER ll the fry basket more than 2/3 full.
