To clean the Deep Fryer, follow these directions:
For some deep fryers maximum and minimum amounts of oil they hold may vary. We recommend checking the inner pot of the deep fryer for the minimum and maximum markings.
Oster® deep fryers hold:
Minimum: 2.0 Liters or 1.5 Quarts or 6 Cups
Maximum: 2.5 Liters or 2 Quarts or 8 Cups
Deep fryers will not heat or appear to be heating for the following reasons:
If all of the above have been checked and the deep fryer will still not reach proper temperatures after pre-heating for at least 30 minutes, please contact us
There are times that an Immersion Element unit (Element in the Oil) will not operate. Simply follow the below resetting steps to make the deep fryer operational again:
The reason that food remains soft after cooking is usually because of one of the following reasons:
The cooking oil deteriorates after 5 or 6 fryings. The cooking oil should not be used if in storage for more than 2 weeks.
Some Deep Fryers heat up faster than others, please see details below for pre-heating times:
Non-Immersion Element (No element in the Oil): 25 to 30 Minutes
Immersion Element (Element in the Oil): 7 to 10 Minutes
For Oster® deep fryers that use replaceable filters, the filters should last about 6 months.
Replacement filters can be purchased through our retail partner.
