Using the Fryer
We recommend using quality vegetable oil that is heat resistant and suitable for frying. Never switch on the fryer
without cooking oil.
1. Fill the fryer at least up to the MIN marking but not higher than the MAX mark that in stamped inside the oil
container. The fryer when full will use 1200ml of cooking oil. Do not exceed the MAX mark; otherwise there is a
serious risk of burns from boiling oil.
2. Plug in the power plug into an earthed socket. Switch on the deep fryer by turning the thermostat controller
clockwise. The POWER control light turns on and indicates that the unit is connected to the mains power.
3. Select the required temperature with the thermostat controller. The heating control light indicates that the
heating element is turned on. When the HEAT lamp goes out the fryer has reached the required temperature.
The HEAT light will continue to come on and go off as the fryer maintains the temperature of the oil.
4. Always ensure that the lid of the fryer is closed while the fryer is heating the oil.
5. Attach the detachable handle, as pictured on the right to the frying basket. Gently
press the tongs together and lead them through the upper retainers on top of the
frying basket. Then insert them in to the lower brackets (see the arrow marks) and
release the tongs.
6. Fill the basket with you food of choice. The food should be free from water or excess
ice.
7. Open the lid of the fryer using the handle (1). Carefully put the frying basket into the
fryer. Pay attention, hot oil can splatter. If when putting the basket into the fryer the oil
begins to bubble and rise, carefully raise the frying basket and then lower again.
8. Make sure the detachable handle is placed correctly so that the lid closes properly when cooking. You can
observe the cooking process through the window (2) in the lid. If necessary, very carefully open the lid and
allow the steam to escape and then wipe off condensation from the window.
9. After frying is done, open the lid using then handle (1) and allow the steam to escape. Hook the frying basket
