up.
8. Ensure that the condensation tray is in place correctly. The condensation tray is used to
collect the droplets condensate when the lid is opened.
9. After preheating, raise the basket and lock it into its raised position, open the lid of the fry and
place the food to be cooked, which should be as dry as possible or freezing, into the raised
basket of the fryer, Lower the basket into the oil by returning the handle to the recessed
position.
Note:
to home-battered foods, pack the raw food well and allow to drain slightly to get rid of
excess water, slowly lower the food packed into the hot oil using a suitable implement or
tongs, this allows the batter to become a whole one and prevents to slip out the mesh of the
basket.
Warning:
careful to operate as small oil droplets may splash out! To avoid destroying
the basket, the food fried can not exceed 800g one time.
10. To avoid spattering when the water on food meets hot oil, you should cover the lid first before
lower the basket into oil.
11. Set the frying time again, turn timer to desired position and frying process starts, refer to FRY
GUIDE below in details.
12. There would be lots of steam come out when frying, so careful not to touch filter cover. You
can check the progress of the food during cooking by raising and fall handle to the horizontal
position, and use the safety Viewing window to make sure that food is brown enough. We
suggest not opening the lid of appliance when frying to avoid hurting by steam.
13. When your food is cooked, raise the basket and wait a few seconds before opening the lid,
This allows the steam pressure to subside but care should still be taken when opening the lid,
as some steam may still be released.
14. Move the food out, add some condiments, now you can serve.
OPERATING DRY PROTECTION
The appliance has an operating dry protection feature. If you forget to place oil in oil tank and
operate it, the temperature of tank will increase rapidly and the switch of operating dry protection
will work after 3 minutes (at the highest temperature) and after 4 minutes (at the lowest
temperature) to cut off power source automatically, so the fire hazard caused by further heating
can be avoid. In this instance, please keep calm, unplug the power source, and let the appliance
cool down completely, the unit can work normally now. This will do damage to appliance if
happen often, we recommend to check first if there is oil in tank every time.
