what is the minimum amount of oil u can use

I would say if you are not wanting to use the required amount of oil you save your money and buy a decent deep frying pan and forget the deep fryer. These deep fryers are great if you have a lot to fry. I use mine for fish frys when we are feeding a lot of people. For just your use get a fry daddy or something small .

According to the Hamilton Beach deep fryer manual, "fill fryer with not less than 10 to not more than 12 cups of oil to top indicator mark on the oil pot."

There is no "minimum amount". As long as what you are cooking can be completely immersed in the oil, then that is all you need...

As long as you dilude the oil with the recommended amount of water it asks for a few drops of oil is ok.

I use a small mister which holds a little less than 1/2 cup water with instructions to use 3-4 drops of essential oils. I don't know that there is a set ratio, but more about personal preference. The more oil, the stronger the vapor/smell, so it's a bit of testing the number of drops of oil until it's right for you.

I strongly suggest that you DO NOT use less than the maximum amount of oil. With the bottom heating elements you need a fair amount of oil over them.

I bought 4 Qts, but it didn't take all of it. Do not overfill! What I do is empty into oil tray then pour the old oil into a gallon milk container to see how much came out. I thinks it was about 3 Qts.

Use the recommended Amount on the bottle and if u use synthetic oil u have to use the synthetic stabilizer.

Per the manual: All oil should meet minimum American Petroleum Institute Service Class SJ, SL, or better. Use no special additives. Select the oil's viscosity grade according to expected operation temperature: Above 40F, use SAE 30; Below 40F and down to 10F, use 10W-30; Below 10F, use synthetic 5W-30

I have a small bottle of lubricating oil that I use for my hand gun. Use very little, works like a charm. A lot cheaper than olive oil!

If you need oil use 10w. A brand called zoom spout works great Grainger industrial supply sells it

This engine takes 28 OZ (ounces) you will have 4 oz left out of a full quart bottle. I use 10w-30 Maxlife or any other high quality oil. I hope yours works better than mine did.

The oil capacity is 26-28 oz. They recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty Certified oils for best performance. Other high-quality detergent oils are acceptable if classified for service SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher. Please see owner's manual for more detailed information. The weight of oil will depend on the temperature the engine will be operating in. In most cases 10W30 weight oil is used.

None until you fill it. But you only fill it about half full in order to have enough compressed air space remaining to make it work well.Because you pump the top for the propellant that sprays the oil. Which is actually a great feature, which replaces any less desirable gas found in the spray oils you normally buy. Besides the advantage of knowing the real quality of oil being used. But back to the answer more directly, as I assume you want:It will only hold about a cup or a bit less per filling. But it is no problem to add more as needed. Especially with a small neck bottle or easy pour spout. Hope this helps. Chu'a None until you fill it.

I would say to use only a small amount as it can look greasy when using too much.

I takes less than what comes out of the pump. If you use the full amount, it can/will look oily. Use half the amount that comes out of the pump.

I found somewhere in the literature that it recommends you use 2-3 drops of oil per 100 ml of distilled water. That's what I use. Hope that helps.

It depends on what size of item or itemsYou're frying. Your best bet is to fill it withWater to judge the amt of oil you need toUse
