Operating Instructions
Always attach temperature controller to frypan first. Firmly insert the controller into the socket
located on the frypan beneath the handle insuring that the temperature control dial is on top,
then plug the cord into to a suitably earthed 220-240V ~ 50Hz supply socket. After cooking and
serving, turn temperature controller to "OFF", and unplug from wall outlet. Do not leave the
frypan plugged in when it is not being used.
Frying times and temperatures
The frying time depends largely on the type and thickness of the ingredients. You can
experiment with the time and temperature to achieve the best results.
The thermostat is not calibrated in degrees Celsius; it is marked with graduations from 1
through 5. This is because the actual temperature at a given setting depends on a wide range
of factors, such as the ingredients in the pan and the use of oil/ butter or water, etc. The
indicative temperatures for each setting are given in the following table:
Thermostat

Cooking tips
Small pieces of meat, fish, etc., will be done more rapidly, and will be cooked better than larger
pieces.
Turning meat and fish only once whilst frying will help prevent it from drying out. This will also
be avoided by turning over the food with a spatula rather than pricking it with a fork.
Frying or cooking fish for too long will make it tough, and will spoil the flavour. In general, fish
is done when the tissue readily separates (into layers) and has lost its transparency or raw
colour.
Frying/Grilling
Do not use more than a small quantity of oil or frying fat when frying or grilling food. Since the
pan has a non-stick coating you can also decide to dispense with oil or fat altogether. The pan
is not suitable for use as a deep fryer or an oil fondue.
Coating fish with breadcrumbs, crumbled rusks or flour before you fry it will protect the fish
from the heat and prevent it from drying out. After frying the fish place it on a piece of paper
kitchen towel to drain.
