ATTACHING THE BASKET HANDLE
To attach the handle to the frying basket, please follow the steps below. CAUTION: for your own safety, always
ensure the handle is firmly attached to the basket whenever you use the fryer.
1.
Press the lower end of the basket handle towards the centre.
2.
Line up the lower end of the handle with the holes on the basket.
3.
Press the handle backwards, then release. To detach the handle, simply follow these steps in reverse.
FRYING
1.
Pour fresh sunflower oil (or an equivalent oil) into the oil container, taking note of the MIN and MAX levels
indicated. The fryer must not be used if the oil is below the minimum level. The maximum quantity of oil that
can be used is 1 litre.
2.
Set the temperature. See COOKING GUIDE.
3.
Plug the fryer into the socket. The power indicator light will come on to show the oil is heating up.
4.
Once the light has gone out, carefully lower the loaded basket into the oil container and close the lid.
CAUTION: to prevent hot oil from spilling over, no more than 200g chips should be fried at a time.
5.
Once the food is cooked, lift up the basket and hook it onto the edge of the container to allow excess oil
to drip away, as shown below.
HELPFUL HINT
Food with a high water content may benefit from being fried with the lid off for the first few minutes, to give
crisper results.

CARE AND CLEANING
Every time you fry – especially breaded or floured foods – we recommend that you follow these steps to ensure
the best performance from your fryer.
1.
Allow the cooking oil to cool completely and make sure the fryer is unplugged.
2.
Carefully pour out the oil into a suitable container.
3.
Wash the basket, basket handle and lid thoroughly in hot, soapy water. Pour hot, soapy water into the oil
container and leave to soak. Loosen any stubborn grease with a non-abrasive cleaner, then rinse with fresh
water. The fryer must not be immersed in water for cleaning. The only part of the fryer that is dishwasher-
safe is the basket. Dry all parts.
4.
Use a soft cloth to wipe the outside of the fryer. Never use metallic or abrasive products for cleaning.
5.
The cooking oil may be reused, or filtered and reused. Please ensure that any small pieces of fried food
are sieved and removed.
6.
To avoid the risk of fire or electric shock, never attempt to open the fryer housing yourself. Repairs should
only be carried out by authorised technicians. For more information, please call the helpline on 015394
88100.
