IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To get the most out of your new appliance, please read through these instructions
carefully before using it for the first time. Take particular note of the safety
precautions.
Please keep the instructions for future reference.
1. Use the appliance for its intended purpose only. The manufacturer is not
responsible for any injury or damage resulting from incorrect use or handling.
2. Do not use any accessories other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
3. The appliance may only be connected to 220-240V, 50/60Hz.
4. The appliance should not be switched on unless it is full of oil. Ensure that it is
always filled with oil up to a level somewhere between the minimum and
maximum level marks on the inside of the bowl.
5. Avoid using the appliance for too long in one go, as this can result in the oil
overheating, causing a fire.
6. Never add water to the oil. This is extremely dangerous and may cause the oil to
spit violently from the bowl!
7. Avoid contact with the hot oil.
8. Never leave the appliance unattended when in use or when it is hot, and keep an
eye on children.

appliance if this is the case, or if the appliance has been dropped or damaged in
any other way. If the appliance, cord or plug is damaged, the appliance must be

6: Heating element
USING YOUR DEEP FRYER
Prior to first use
1. Read the safety instructions carefully.
2. Remove all packaging from the appliance and place it on a flat, stable surface, e.g. a
kitchen counter, and at a safe distance from flammable objects.
3. Clean the lid (11), bowl (1), basket (9) and housing (7) using warm water and a little
washing-up liquid and dry the parts carefully. The parts can also be washed in a
dishwasher.
4. Fit the heating element and the control panel (6 and 4) in the bowl by inserting the
pins on the inside of the plastic unit down into the grooves on the rear of the bowl.
NOTE: Heating element must be pushed all the way down to activate safety switch.
Otherwise unit may not be able to heat.
5. Fit the handle (10) on to the basket by clipping together the handle’s two metal
braces, inserting them into the brackets on the inside of the basket and tilting them
in against the metal plate. Then loosen the knob on the metal braces, so they are
firmly fixed in the bracket and the black plastic knob on the handle is at right angles
to the basket. Check that the handle is fitted correctly before you use the basket.
Using your Deep Fryer
1. Check that the Deep Fryer is switched off.
2. Pour the required amount of oil into the bowl. Fill with oil to somewhere between
the minimum and maximum level marks on the inside of the bowl. We recommend
using liquid oil, which is recommended for deep fat frying. Tip: You can use lard or
other solid fats if you wish, but you will need to melt it first in the bowl. Set the
temperature control to the lowest temperature and add the fat in small pieces. Only
turn the temperature up to the desired level once the fat has melted.
3. Place the lid on the bowl.
4. Plug the fryer in and the red power indicator (2) will light up. Set it to the desired
temperature by turning the temperature control (5). The green heat indicator (3) will
light up and remains on while the Deep Fryer is heating up. Once the Deep Fryer has
reached the selected temperature, the heat indicator (3) will go off. The heat
indicator comes on and goes off during use, which merely indicates that it is
maintaining the selected temperature.
5. Do not add the food until the required temperature is reached.
6. Remove the lid from the Deep Fryer.
7. Place the food in the basket and lower it carefully into the bowl. Make sure the oil
level does not rise to the edge of the bowl.
8. Always hold the basket handle firmly when fitting or removing the lid.
9. NOTE: Heating element must be pushed all the way down to activate safety switch.
Otherwise unit may not be able to heat.
Important!
Be careful, as the oil may spit. Take care when removing the lid, as hot steam may be
released.
There is a non-auto resetting thermostat built into the product. If the Deep Fryer has been
in use for a prolonged time, the built-in non-auto resetting thermostat will activate and
cut off the current to protect the appliance from overheating.
To enable the Deep Fryer to function normally again, turn the temperature control knob
anti clockwise to reset the thermostat after the heating element has cooled down.
FOOD PREPARATION TIPS
Before lowering the basket
1. Always make sure that the food is dry before lowering it into the hot oil.
2. Ensure that the food is roughly the same size so that it cooks evenly. Avoid very thick
pieces.
3. Some types of food should be breaded before being cooked in the Deep Fryer.
4. Make sure you remove as much ice as possible from frozen food. However, it does
not need to be defrosted before cooking.
5. Do not fill the basket above the max mark on the metal plate under the handle.
Important!
The handle may be very hot after any prolonged period of use.

After cooking
1. Lift the basket up out of the bowl and tilt it so that it rests on the edge of the bowl.
2. Allow the oil to drip from the food before removing the basket.
3. Set the temperature control to the lowest possible temperature by turning it to the
left as far as possible.
4. Remove the plug from the socket.
5. Allow the appliance to cool completely (1-2 hours).
Important!
You must never move the appliance while it is hot, when there is oil in it, or if the lid has
not been fitted.
HANDLING AND STORING THE OIL
1. Make sure all oil is only handled once it is completely cool.
2. Remove any food residues from the oil after use.
3. Filter the oil regularly.
4. The oil should be changed once it has been used approximately 10 times. All the oil
should be changed at the same time; do not mix old and new oil. The old oil should
be disposed of as per the relevant local regulations.
5. Keep the oil in the Deep Fryer or in an airtight container in a dry, cool and dark
place. (It is not necessary to keep the oil in a fridge).
CLEANING
1. The heating element with control panel and cord must not be immersed in water.
Remove the control panel and heating element before cleaning the appliance.
2. Once you have poured the oil out of the bowl, wipe the inside of the bowl with
kitchen paper. Then wash the bowl thoroughly.
3. The housing, ceramic bowl, lid and basket with handle can be washed in hot water
and washing-up liquid or in a dishwasher.
4. Do not use any kind of strong or abrasive cleaning agent on the Deep Fryer or its
accessories. Never use a steel brush or scrubbing brush to clean the appliance, as
this may damage the surface.
STORAGE
1. Wait until the appliance is completely cool before putting it away.
2. The bowl is best stored with a little oil in it. If you do this, you should check that the
lid is closed properly so that no dust or dirt can get into the oil.
