· Before use, always ensure that the oil tank is positioned correctly in the deep fryer body. The max/min level indicators should be at the back
of the deep fryer.
· Never connect the deep fryer to the power supply without placing oil in the oil tank first.
· If using solid fat, melt it gently in a separate pan then pour into the oil tank before switching on the deep fryer. Do not melt the solid fat in the
frying basket as this may damage the deep fryer.
· Never operate deep fryer with oil level below the Minimum mark or above the Maximum mark.
· Be careful not to touch those surfaces of the deep fryer which become hot when you are cooking, e.g. at or near joint of the lid and body.
· Never attempt to pour hot oil out of the deep fryer; allow to cooling first.
· On completion of frying and before opening the lid, always raise the basket and wait a few seconds to allow steam pressure to subside.
· Always dry food before frying so even a little amount of moisture can cause the hot oil to froth excessively.
· If oil has ignited, switch off and unplug appliance immediately then cover it with dense (inflammable if available) cloth.
· NEVER QUENCH A FIRE WITH WATER!
USING YOUR DEEP FRYER
· Before first using, remove the frying basket, oil tank and lid. Wash these by hand in hotsoapy water. Wipe the exterior and interior of the
body with a damp cloth.
REMOVING THE BASKET
· The convenient basket handle allows the operator to rise or lower the basket into the oil with the closed lid.
· Lift the handle "up", which raises and locks the basket, in the horizontal position.
· Push the handle release button; gently lower the handle and the basket lowers into the cooling vessel.
OPENING THE LID
· To unlock the detachable lid press led open button
, so spring-loaded lid will rise up.
REMOVING THE LID
· For easy cleaning, lift the lid to the vertical position, and remove from the housing with a straight upward "pull".
· The condensation tray (for catching moisture when the lid is up) is the hinge section of the lid.
· The lid is fitted with permanent filter system, which collects drops of oil and fumes from the steam as it passes through the filter. After several
cooking sessions, approximately 60 times, the filter should be replaced.
· Slide the knob to set the best temperature suitable for the food to be fried.
TEMP
ERATURE PILOT LIGHT
· It will light automatically while the temperature keeps rising, and go out when the set temperature is reached.
POWER - POWER PILOT LIGHT

FRYING
· Press the lid open button (the lid will open). Lift the basket handle to the horizontal position and fix it. Remove the basket from the deep fryer.
· Pour between 2-2.2 liters of good quality oil into the cooking vessel of the deep fryer. The level of the oil must be between the two marks:
MAX & MIN on the wall of the vessel.
· Use only a good quality vegetable oil for deep-frying. Deep frying food in butter, margarine, olive oil or animal fat is not recommended
because of lower smoking temperature.
· Plug in at the mains, set the thermostat to the required temperature and timer - to the required cooking time. The indicator light will go out
when the set temperature is reached.
· With the basket outside the deep fryer, and the handle locked in the horizontal position, add the products (as dry as possible) into the basket
and slowly lower the handle (which lowers the basket and food into the oil). Close the lid.
· Do not add liquids or wet food to cooking oil, even small amount of water will cause oil to spatter.
· Be sure to dry all products before frying.
· When you food is cooked, lift the handle making sure it locks in the horizontal position (this will lift the basket and food out of the oil) and wait
a few seconds before opening the lid. This allows the steam pressure to subside and drain oil, but care should still be taken when opening
the lid, as some steam may still released.
· Open the lid, remove the basket from the fryer, and empty the food.
FRY GUIDE AND TEMPERATURE CHART
· Place uniform sized products into the basket so that they wilt wok evenly.
· Select the temperature for deep-frying, taking into account the food to be cooked. As a guide, foods that have been precooked in some way
need a higher temperature and less cooking time than products, which are completely raw.
· These frying times are intended as a guide only and should be adjusted to suit quantity or thickness of food and you owe taste.
