appliance requires the

following common sense

safety rules.

Primarily there is danger of

injury or death and secondly

the danger of damage to the

appliance. These are

indicated in the text by the

following two conventions:

WARNING: Danger to the

person!

IMPORTANT: Damage to the

appliance!

In addition we offer the

following safety advice.

FILLING WITH OIL

Pour oil into the tank up to the

maximum level indicated

(approximately 2.5 litres of oil).

Lightly smear the inside of the

viewing window with the oil to

inhibit any condensation which

could reduce visibility.

• Use good quality liquid

vegetable oil, see getting the

best from your fryer on page 6.

COOKING

WARNING: Never operate

the fryer without oil in the

bowl.

1Lower the basket and close the

lid.

2Plug into the mains and switch

the power on at the socket and

switch on the fryer to position I.

3The red power light and orange

temperature light will illuminate.

4Set the variable temperature

control to the required setting,

see ‘frying times and

temperature section’.

5The fryer is now pre-heating the

oil, the orange temperature light

may go out and come back on

once or twice during pre-heat.

After approximately 15 minutes,

the oil will be at the correct

temperature.

6Lift the lid.

• Do not over fill the basket when

frying, the food must be covered

with the bubbling hot oil.

There are two methods of

cooking in your fryer; one

general method for most food

types and another for home

battered products.

General cooking

method (with the basket)

1Place the basket in the raised

position. The basket should

always be in the raised position

when it is to be filled with food.

2Place the food, which should be

as dry as possible, into the

raised basket. When frying

frozen food, avoid adding ice

particles to the hot oil. Remove

the basket from the fryer, add

the frozen food and shake the

basket to remove excess ice and

frost. The oil temperature and oil

life expectancy will be improved.

3Lower the basket onto the

basket rest ‚.

4Lower the lid.

5Lower the basket to the frying

position.

• You can observe the cooking

process by raising the lid or

looking through the viewing

window to observe progress.

6When the food is cooked, raise

the lid, lift the basket out of the

oil, give it a shake, and place it

in it’s raised rest position for one

minute to drain.

7Lift the basket out and shake the

fried food into a dish with oil

absorbing kitchen paper.

8After use, disconnect from the

mains supply and allow to cool.

Wipe any spilt oil from the fryer

body.

• You can store the basket in the

oil.

Cooking home-

battered foods (with the

basket in lowered position)

This method allows for the fact

that if wet batter is placed in the

basket prior to cooking, the food

may stick.

1Leave the basket in the down

position.

2Coat the raw food in the batter

and allow it to drain slightly to

get rid of the excess coating.

3Very carefully, slowly lower the

coated food into the hot oil,

using a suitable implement or

tongs. This allows the batter to

become solid and prevents it

sealing to the mesh of the

basket.

WARNING: Take care as the

oil may spit as the food is

added.

GETTING THE BEST

FROM YOUR FRYER

Oil

• Always ensure that you use

good quality oil for deep frying.

We recommend liquid vegetable

oils, alternatively use corn,

groundnut or rapeseed oil. Avoid

mixing oils of different types and

quality.

• Solid fat (lard) and solid oil can

be used, this should be first

melted in a pan until softened,

then carefully transferred into

the fryer bowl.

• Change the oil when it becomes

brown or cloudy in colour,

usually after frying 15 times. This

will be the appropriate time to

change the filter.

• IMPORTANT: Do not switch the

fryer on until the fryer bowl is

filled with oil or solid oil or lard.

Cooking

• Your food must always be

completely dry in order to avoid

overflowing, to prolong the use

of the oil and to give a crisper

finish to the food.

• Pieces of food should be of the

same size and thickness.

• As a general guide, pre-cooked

foods need a higher cooking

temperature than raw foods.

• Do not overload the basket as it

may cause a drop of

temperature that may leave the

food greasy.

• Cook your food thoroughly.

Remember that your food may

begin to turn golden brown

before it is cooked through.

• Avoid leaving food to drain for

too long in the basket as the

food may become soft and lose

it’s crunchiness.

• Select your cooking utensils

with care. Do not use utensils

that may melt. Metal utensils

become hot and therefore

should have insulated handles.

When using metal utensils, take

care not to damage the non-

stick coating of the bowl.

• All foodstuffs contain moisture.

When lowered into the hot oil,

the water turns to steam. Most

of the steam escapes

harmlessly through the lid vent,

but trapped steam may escape

when opening the lid - so care is

needed.

Chips

• Old potatoes are ideal for

making chips. Your chips should

be evenly sized so that they

cook evenly. They should be

rinsed in a colander under a

cold tap and dried using a

kitchen towel or absorbent

paper. For best results, fry your

chips for 10-12 minutes, shaking

the basket at intervals to ensure

chips get an overall browning.

• For best results, we recommend

no more than 800g of frozen

chips or 1000g of fresh chips

are fried.

Emptying and

cleaning

WARNING: Cleaning should

only be carried out with the

plug removed from the

socket. The fryer should

have completely cooled.

Allow 3 hours for cooling.

1Remove the lid.

2Remove the basket.

3Take the oil storage container

and unscrew the cap, ensuring

the filter is in place H.

4Lift out the bowl Iand carefully

pour the oil from the corner of

the tank J, into the oil storage

container.

5Wash the lid, basket, handle and

the inside of the tank by hand

with hot soapy water.

• Alternatively, the lid can be

washed in a dishwasher.

However, prolonged dishwasher

use could discolour the lid.

• The basket and bowl should

NOT be washed in a dishwasher.

6Clean the body of the fryer with

a warm moistened cloth,

washing up liquid can be used.

7Dry all parts of your fryer

thoroughly and reassemble all

parts with the max and min at

the back of the bowl. Refer to

the assembly sequence.

• The outside of the bowl is not

non-stick coated, if care is

taken, it is unlikely to become

dirty. If oil does drip down the

exterior when the oil is being

emptied out, make sure that it is

hand washed thoroughly. The

exterior may appear

discoloured, this is quite normal

and will not detract from the

performance of the fryer.

8Place the basket back into the

tank. The oil storage container

fits inside the basket for efficient

storage.
