USING YOUR APPLIANCE:
Note: Assemble the frying basket handles and
ensure they are secure correctly before use.
1. Fill the oil tank to the appropriate level.
The oil tank is clearly marked with the
Minimum and Maximum oil levels, do not
attempt to fry with less than the minimum
level as this could cause damage and
overheating to the unit.
2. Do not fill over the Maximum level as this
could cause the oil to spill when the food
is placed in the tank to cook, especially
when the food contains moisture.
3. Turn the temperature control to the MIN
position, plug the appliance in and switch
on. The green indicator light will light up.
4. Turn the temperature control to the
required temperature, and the red
indicator light will illuminate. This indicates
that the unit is now on and heating the oil.
5. Allow the oil to reach the required
temperature before placing any food in the
oil. This is indicated by the red light, which
will go out when the oil has reached the
required temperature.
READY LIGHT:
NOTE:
This light will cycle on and off as the
thermostat cycles to maintain the correct
temperature.
1. The temperature control dial allows the
temperature to be set between
70°C - 190°C.
2. Never use the controller to switch the
appliance off. Always switch off at the
power switch and unplug.
COOKING WITH YOUR DEEP FAT FRYER:
1. Place the food in the frying basket.
Do not overload the basket as this will
substantially lower the oil temperature.
2. Once the oil has reached the correct
temperature and the ready light has turned
off, slowly lower the fry basket into the oil.
3. When the food is ready, remove the lid (if it
has been used) by lifting it by the handle.
Always open the lid of the fryer away from
yourself. Lift the basket up slowly out of
the oil, making sure the basket handle is
fixed in the up position.
4. After the excess oil has drained, place the
food on a paper towel lined baking sheet
to allow any remaining oil to drain away.
5. If you are frying more than one load,
ensure the oil re-heats to the required
temperature.
SAFETY CUT-OUT:
In the vent of overheating, the safety cut out will
switch off the deep fat fryer. This can happen
if the deep fat fryer is not filled with sufficient
oil, or if solid frying fat is melted in the deep fat
fryer.
If the safety cut out switches off the deep fat
fryer, take the following steps:
Allow the oil or fat to cool down.
Carefully push in the reset switch at the rear of
the control element with a small screwdriver.
The deep fat fryer is now ready for use.
SAFETY SWITCH:
The safety switch in the control element
ensures that the heating element can only be
switched on when the control element locks in
to place with a click.
