FRY
The fry function allows you to deep fry using the large basket provided. It is perfect for deep
frying fish and chips, donuts and tempura. See the recipe guide in the back of this instruction
booklet for some recipes to get you started.
CAUTION: Ensure the basket handle does not extend up to or over the edge of the
work surface, where it might be caught accidentally when passing.
CAUTION: Use oven gloves when deep frying. They protect your hands from heat as
well as protect them from drips and splashes.
Filling
CAUTION: The oil level must sit between the MIN (2.5 Litres) and MAX (3 Litres) marks
on the side inside of the cooking pot.
1. The lid should not be used while deep frying.
2. If the cooking pot is empty, fill with good quality liquid cooking oil, to between the MIN
(2.5 litres) and MAX (3 litres) marks. If it already contains oil, check the level, and top up
as necessary.
NOTES:
• Do not use solid cooking oil, fat, butter, or margarine.
• Do not mix oils of different types.
• Do not use olive oil. Olive oil generally contains too much water, and its smoking point is
too low for deep frying. Buy a good quality liquid cooking oil suitable for deep frying, like
sunflower or corn oil.
