How to Operate the Atosa Countertop Electric Fryer: A Step-by-Step Guide

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on operating the Atosa countertop electric fryer. This user-friendly appliance is designed to make your frying tasks easier and more efficient. In this blog post, we will walk you through the steps to safely and effectively use and maintain your fryer. Let's dive in!

Turning On the Atosa Countertop Electric Fryer

To use your Atosa countertop electric fryer, follow these simple steps. 

First, set the temperature knob to your desired heat.

This is crucial for ensuring your food cooks evenly and achieves the perfect crispiness. Once the temperature is set, flip the power switch to the "on" position. A quick reminder: do not turn on the fryer when it is empty, as this can cause permanent damage to the appliance.

Cooking with the Atosa Countertop Electric Fryer

After the fryer has reached your chosen temperature and the heating light has turned off, it's time to load the baskets with your product. Gently lower the baskets into the oil. To ensure even cooking, gently shake the basket to level the food and prevent it from sticking to both the basket and itself.

Allow the food to cook thoroughly. Once done, carefully lift the baskets and empty the food onto a plate or serving dish. Enjoy perfectly fried food with a crispy exterior and tender interior!

Atosa countertop fryers come in three sizes: 10 pound, 16 pound, and a 32 pound dual pot fryer.

Cleaning the Atosa Countertop Electric Fryer

Proper maintenance of your fryer ensures its longevity and performance. Follow these steps to clean your fryer:

  • Turn off the fryer and allow it to cool down completely. Safety first!
  • Once cooled, push in the lock pin located on the right side of the fryer head. Rock the heating element and fryer head backwards until the locking pin secures into the drip oil position. This allows excess oil to drip off the heating element.
  • Once all the oil has dripped off, push the lock pin in again. Then, rock the heating element and fryer head back until the locking pin fits into the remove pot hole position. This enables you to safely remove the fry pot.
  • Using the handles on the left and right side of the pot, carefully remove and empty the pot. For cleaning, you can use soap and water or place the pot in your commercial dishwasher for a thorough clean.

Reassembling and Preparing for Next Use

Once cleaned, reinstall the fry pot securely. Gently lower the heating element back into the fry pot. Refill the fry pot with fresh oil, and your fryer is ready for its next use.

By following these steps, you can keep your Atosa countertop electric fryer in great shape. This will help it fry food well.

Conclusion

Operating the Atosa countertop electric fryer is straightforward when you follow the correct procedures. From setting the right temperature to ensuring thorough cleaning, each step contributes to achieving the best frying experience. By maintaining your fryer properly, you can enjoy delicious, perfectly cooked food every time.

Thank you for taking the time to read this guide. We hope it helps you make the most of your Atosa countertop electric fryer. Happy frying!
