Set Temperature and Timing:
Switch on and set
thermostat to 200°C. The amber indicator light will
illuminate. Heating from cold may take 30 minutes.
When the oil temperature reaches the set
temperature, the heating indicator will go out. When
the temperature is lower than the set temperature,
the heating lamp will light again.

Preheating Preparation:
While starting to heat the cold oil, immerse the food to be
fried (such as chicken pieces) in the seasoning. Prior to frying, it is best to have
applied the seasoning to the food, for more than 20 minutes. The food should be dried
after soaking or coating, otherwise too much moisture will affect the whole process.
7.
Frying:
When food is placed within the pot for frying, ensure it is kept within, to prevent
oil spillage. Do not overload with too much food. Excess food will affect the quality of
the preparation.
8.
Lid Cover:
Cover the fryer with the lid and tighten
the knob by rotating 3-5 turns. Take care not to
under or overtighten the lid. The fryer is designed
as an explosion-proof cooker. When the pressure
exceeds the rated working pressure, the beam on
the lid will bend and vapour will be released. This may be because the whole of the
automatic pressure relief valve is blocked. Please pay attention to cleaning the
pressure relief valve and ensuring it is clear. The silicone sealing ring inside the lid
should be replaced overtime. An aging sealing ring will also cause the valve to leak.
9.
Programme Start:
Turn the timer and temperature dials
to the desired set up. At this time, the heating indicator
will light up. Once temperature has been reached, you will
hear a click to start the countdown. When the set time is
reached, the solenoid valve will automatically open, and
deflate. Specific settings will depend on the food. The
maximum time setting is
30 minutes
.

Pressure Gauge:
The pressure gauge displays the
pressure of water vapour in the pressure fryer. The
normal operating pressure is 8 Psi. It is normal that
the pointer is in the green area of the pressure gauge.
If the moisture content of the fried food is too high the
pressure value will be higher.
