CHOOSING THE RIGHT COOKING OIL
As a general rule, choose cooking oils with a high smoke point and
avoid flavored oils.
Suitable: Pure corn oil, blended vegetable oil, soybean oil, sunflower
oil, grape seed oil, peanut oil
Not suitable: Olive oil, walnut oil, lard
COOKING WITH OIL
Cooking oil can enhance the food’s flavor – or spoil its taste. As with any
other food component, freshness and correct handling of the oil is the
key to successful deep-frying results.
The quality of the oil decreases with use at high temperatures. Food
particles, water and other liquids will further lower its quality, therefore:
•Do not mix different cooking oils.
•Only use fresh and clean cooking oils:

16
www.KALORIK.com
FT 44247 - 180330
‒Regularly remove burnt food particles while frying. Always use
utensils that are safe to immerse into hot oils without damaging
the utensil or the appliance, and always wear oven mitts when
removing any burnt food particles.
‒After use and before storage, filter oil with the integrated
filtration system (see Oil Filtration)
‒Do not reuse oil that has been used to fry fish or other strongly
flavored food.
‒Some meats, such as chicken wings, will release large amounts
of liquids when frying, thus watering down the oil. Do not reuse
this oil.
Do not use the cooking oil anymore if you notice the following:
Before use: oil smells rancid or its color has visibly darkened.
While frying: oil is foaming strongly or smoke appears on the oil’s surface
at normal operating temperature.
OIL FILTRATION
NOTE:
‒Filter the oil after each use. Store filtered oil properly (see Storing
oil).
‒Discard of oil on a regular basis depending on oil quality (see
Cooking with oil).
‒After switching off the appliance, wait for the Filter Oil Light to
turn on, to indicate that the oil is ready to be filtered.
‒Filtering the oil after each use will help prolong the life of the
cooking oil, but it should still be discarded if the oil is
deteriorated after multiple use. We estimate that oil, in normal
use, should be changed at least after every 10 uses.
FILTER OIL LIGHT: The Filter Oil light on the control panel indicates when
the oil is safe to filter. When the temperature of the oil drops below
158°F/70°C, the green Filter Oil light comes on after which the filtration
knob can be rotated to the Filter Oil position. Hotter oil will take longer
to reach a cool temperature. Do not filter the oil if the light is not
switched on.

17
www.KALORIK.com
FT 44247 - 180330
•Ensure the oil container is assembled, empty and in place inside the
appliance.
•Once the oil has cooled down to room temperature, turn the oil
filtration control knob to the FILTER OIL position. The oil will start
dripping inside the oil container. The oil filter cover will keep food
residues from being transferred to the oil container.
•When all oil has been filtered:
‒Turn the oil filtration control knob to the LOCK position if the
container will remain inside the appliance.
‒Turn the oil filtration control knob to UNLOCK position if the
container is to be removed from the appliance.
CHANGE OIL LIGHT: This deep fryer comes with an indicator light as a
reminder to change the oil. After every 10 uses, the change oil indicator
lights notifying the user to change the oil in the tank. Once the oil has
been changed, press the RESET button on the main control panel for 3
seconds to indicate that the oil has been changed and reset the cycle.
NOTE:
‒Wait for the ‘Filter Oil’ light to be turned on before filtering.
Otherwise, wait 3 to 4 hours until the oil has cooled down
completely before draining or filtering.
‒Extreme caution must be used when moving the appliance
while the oil reservoir and oil container are not both empty.
‒When removing the oil container from the appliance, handle
with care. Keep the oil container flat and hold it with both
hands.
Emptying the oil container
Filtered oil can be stored in a suitable container (see Storing oil) or re-
used for frying a new batch of food (see Cooking with oil).
•Unscrew the cap on top of the oil container.
•Slowly pour the oil container content into a suitable container or the
oil reservoir, if required.
NOTE:
‒Ensure the oil filtration control knob is on UNLOCK position before
pouring oil into the oil reservoir.

18
www.KALORIK.com
FT 44247 - 180330
‒Tilt the oil container upwards (vertical position) gradually to
avoid leaks from the side of the container.
‒Oil can be stored in the oil reservoir, inside the deep fryer or in
another cool dry place (see Storing oil).
•Screw the cap back on top of the oil container.
•Insert the oil container back into the appliance and turn the oil
filtration control knob to the LOCK position to secure the oil
container in place.
STORING OIL
•Do not store used cooking oil in the refrigerator. Choose a cool
place that is not subject to sunlight. Generally, oil may be stored for
a period of 3 months, once the bottle is opened. Please observe
the oil manufacturer’s storage directions as well.
HINTS AND TIPS
•Smaller quantities of food normally require a slightly shorter cooking
time than larger quantities of food.
•To reduce cooking time, defrost food prior to cooking. It is
recommended that some foods should not be thawed/defrosted
prior to cooking, such as frozen fish, and frozen French fries.
•It is recommended to use a meat thermometer to check the
cooking progress.
•In the event of food flare-ups, do not remove the lid, do not remove
the basket; unplug the appliance.
•When the food you are cooking requires shaking, it is
recommended to use a timer set for half of the suggested cooking
time. This way a bell will ring and remind you to shake the basket.
•It is recommended to only use nylon, heat-proof plastic or wooden
cooking utensils. Metal utensils may become hot and damage the
non-stick surface. Always remove utensils from the appliance. Do
not leave them in the appliance during use.
