FAQ
After frying, filter with a fine sieve + coffee filter paper. I used 2 L of oil for 4 weeks without any odor.
The inner drum has a non-stick coating, which can be cleaned with just a wipe of kitchen paper; the frying basket is detachable and can be washed in the dishwasher in 30 minutes.
The outer shell is 48°C after 20 minutes of continuous operation. It is not hot to the touch and can be placed on the countertop without worry.
The power is 1,500 W, and it can be plugged and played with an ordinary 10 A socket. The volume is about the size of A4 paper, so it is not a headache to move.
Yes. Set the temperature to about 350°F – 360°F (177°C – 182°C), which is the right temperature for frying donuts. Use the basket to carefully place the dough into the oil.
It depends on how often I use it. If I use it regularly, I may need to change it every 2 – 3 months; if I use it less frequently, I can use it for up to 6 months. But if I notice that the filter is not absorbing odors as well, I should change it immediately.
No. The removable fryer and basket can be hand washed with warm, soapy water. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.
