HELPFUL HINTS
•
Use only good quality oil when frying. Deep frying foods in butter or
margarine is not recommended because of the low smoking
temperatures.
•
Oil must be filtered regularly and changed after 8 – 12 uses. If the oil is
dirty it can overheat at a much lower temperature. This can cause the oil
to catch fire.
•
The Cover is fitted with a 2 part filtering system to reduce frying odour.
Do not use the Fryer without the Filters in place.
•
Remove excess water, ice or frost from food. Shake frozen foods to
detach pieces of ice.
•
The Basket Handle allows you to raise or lower the basket when the Fryer
Cover is closed. Move the Handle up to raise the Frying Basket and slide
the Basket Handle Button and the Handle down to lower the Basket.
•
Fill the Frying Basket before placing it in the Fryer.
•
Steam which exits from the filter compartment may, after several uses,
discolour the slotted filter lid. This will not affect the operation of the
Fryer.
•
DO NOT use the Fryer without oil. The Fryer will be severely damaged if
heated dry.
CARE AND CLEANING
1. Unplug cord from wall outlet. Allow oil to cool. NOTE: Oil retains its
temperature for a long time after use. Do not attempt to empty the fryer
until the oil has cooled sufficiently. Do not move or carry the Fryer while
it is still hot.
2. Once oil is cooled, remove the Cover by opening then lifting upward.
3. Empty the Condensation Container by absorbing the water with a paper
towel.
4. Pour the oil into a container that holds at least 3 litres. Pour the oil from
the Base by one of the back corners. Place the container in the sink and
pour the oil quickly with the fryer tilted at least 90°. Make sure that the
fryer is completely empty before turning the Fryer upright to prevent oil
from dripping down the exterior wall of the fryer.
