Deep Fat Fryer
Preparation
Before first use wash and thoroughly dry
the Basket taking care not to allow
water to enter the Basket Handle
, and wipe the Oil Container interior
with a damp soapy cloth. Ensure this is
thoroughly dry before use.
Blended vegetable oil is recommended for
frying as it needs changing less often than
sunflower oil, groundnut oil or soya oil.
Olive oil is not recommended.
Blocks of solid vegetable fat must be
cut into pieces and melted in the Oil
Container before use at 130°C (see
following paragraph). Solid fats can be
left in the fryer after use, but the Basket
must be removed.
Lard or dripping
MUST NOT BE USED
as these may cause
fumes and/or overflowing - a fire risk.
Place approximately 2.25 litres of oil into
the Oil Container - the level must be
between the MAX and MIN markings.
Close the Lid . Connect the Mains
Plug to the power. Turn the Fryer
ON by rotating the Oil Temperature
Control Dial clockwise. The Power
Indicator Light and Ready Indicator
Light will illuminate. Set the Oil
Temperature Control Dial to the desired
temperature; the Cooking Guide gives
an indication of temperature settings
for various foods. When the oil reaches
the selected temperature (from 5 to 15
minutes) the Ready Indicator Light will
turn off.
Foods should be cut into pieces of similar
size to ensure even cooking. Homemade
potato based food (e.g. chips) should be
rinsed in cold water to remove starch.
Food should be as dry as possible, and
ice should be shaken off. (The cooking
instructions for frozen foods should be
checked to ensure that the food is suitable
for frying).
DO NOT OVERFILL THE BASKET AS
THE OIL COULD OVERFLOW.
Basket Handle
To move the handle
from the lift (up)
position to the storage
(down) position:
1. Pull the release
button towards you.
2. Push the handle downwards.
The handle can be returned to the lift position
without pressing the button.
Cooking
Slowly lower the Basket into the oil, checking
that the oil level is appropriate and not reaching
the top of the Oil Container .
If you can
see any danger of the oil bubbling and
overflowing STOP and raise the basket until
the oil settles
.
ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE KITCHEN
GLOVES/GAUNTLETS WHEN FRYING.
Close the Lid and move the Basket Handle
to the storage position. Time the cooking period;
suggested times for various foods are given on
the Cooking Guide , but also observe the food
as it cooks through the window in the Lid .
HOT STEAM will escape from the Filter Cover
in the Lid during frying
. Do not open the Lid
during the cooking period.
Turn OFF the Fryer when the food is cooked by
rotating the Oil Temperature Control Dial
anti-clockwise. Disconnect the Mains Plug
from the socket. Raise the Basket Handle to
the lift position.
Open the Lid , being aware
that HOT STEAM will escape - protect your
hands with Oven Gloves
. Lift the Basket and
rest it on the Basket Drain Position , using its
rear bracket.
When the Fryer is cool, remove any fragments of
food and batter from the oil with a perforated
spoon.
