• When frying pre-packed or pre-cooked frozen foods, follow the instructions on the
packet.
• When frying raw vegetables (e.g. chips), dry them with paper towel or a tea towel.
1. Lift up the basket handle until it clicks (Fig A). This will raise the basket out of the
oil.
2. Put the prepared food pieces in the basket. Try not to put more than two layers of
food in the basket. If you need to fry more, do it in batches.
3. Press the basket handle release button and slowly lower the handle. This will lower
the basket into the oil.
4. The oil will foam as it comes into contact with water from the food. As long as the
foam doesn’t threaten to overflow the bowl, this shouldn’t be a cause for alarm.
5. If the foam threatens to overflow the bowl, raise the handle to lift the basket out of
the oil. See HINTS AND TIPS for possible solutions.
6. Close the lid.
Setting the timer
IMPORTANT: The timer doesn’t switch the fryer on or off. Use it as a reminder—you
don’t have to set the timer in order to use your fryer.
1. Press the + button. The display will flash.
2. Press the + button until the number of minutes you want to fry is shown on the
display. To decrease the time, use the – button.
3. The timer can be set between 1 and 60 minutes in one minute increments.
4. Once the display shows the time you want, stop pressing the + button. After a
short time, the display will stop flashing, beep once, and then start to count down.
5. The display will count down in minutes until it reaches the last minute when it will
then count down in seconds.
6. When it reaches zero, the timer will beep. To stop the beep, press either the + or
– button.
Frying the food
1. Stay in the kitchen and keep an eye on the frying process.
2. Don’t lean or reach over the fryer while the oil is hot.
3. Wait till the food has cooked then unplug the fryer from the wall socket (switch the
socket off first, if it’s switchable).
4. Lift up the basket handle until it clicks to raise the basket out of the oil.
5. Stand back, and press the lid button
E
to open the lid. Beware of escaping steam.
6. Put on an oven glove, then use the handle to lift the basket straight up out of its
mounts on the front of the fryer.
7. Empty the food into the lined colander to drain before serving.
8. Refit the empty basket onto the fryer. Align the tab in front of the handle with the
slot in the front of the fryer, and slide the basket down into its mounts on the front
of the fryer.
• If you’ve finished, leave the dryer to cool down before cleaning.
• If you want to fry another batch of food, check the oil level and top up as necessary.
