Preheating
After approximately 20 minutes, the oil is at
the right temperature. The light indicator
may come on and go out once or twice with
thermostat changes.
During frying
The indicator light may come on and go
out several times as the correct preset
temperature is being maintained.
There are two methods of cooking in your
fryer; one general method for most food stuffs
and another for home battered products.
General cooking method
1 When the correct temperature for cooking
has been reached, open the lid of the fryer
raise the basket, rest it into its raised
position. Place the food to be cooked,
which should be as dry as possible, into
the raised basket of your fryer. THE
BASKET SHOULD ALWAYS BE IN THE
RAISED POSITION WHEN IT IS TO BE FILLED
WITH FOOD.
2 Lower the basket into the oil or fat and
close the lid.
3 Check the progress of your food during
cooking by opening the lid.
4 Open the lid and wait a few seconds
before raising the basket as this allows the
steam to escape. Care should be taken
when opening the lid, as steam may
still be released at pressure.
Cooking home battered foods
This method allows for the fact that if wet
batter is placed in the basket prior to cooking,
the food may stick to the basket. This method
of cooking requires extreme care.
1 Ensure that the correct temperature has
been reached (approximately 20 minutes
pre-heating) open the lid of the fryer,
leaving the basket in the down position.
2 Coat the raw food in the batter and allow to
drain slightly to get rid of excess coating.
Very carefully and slowly, lower the coated
food into the hot oil, using suitable
implement or tongs. This allows the batter
to become solid and prevents it sealing to
the mesh of the basket.
Remember to take care as the oil
may spit as the food is added.
3 Close the lid and allow the food to cook.
You may now follow the instructions as
given in ‘general cooking method’ from
point 3.
AFTER USE, DISCONNECT YOUR FRYER
FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BY
REMOVING THE PLUG FROM THE WALL
SOCKET.
