4.1 പൈലറ്റ് ലൈറ്റിംഗ് നടപടിക്രമം

4.2 താപനില നിയന്ത്രണം

Once the pilot is lit, turn the thermostat dial to the desired frying temperature, typically between 200°F and 400°F (93°C - 204°C). The efficient burners will rapidly heat the oil and maintain the set temperature for consistent cooking.

4.3 Frying with Dual Baskets

The fryer includes two removable baskets, allowing for simultaneous frying of different food items or larger batches. Load food into the baskets and carefully lower them into the hot oil. Do not overload baskets, as this can lower oil temperature and result in uneven cooking.
