SETTING THE CORRECT OIL TEMPERATURE FOR THE FOOD
Rotate the dial on the control panel to set the
temperature according to your recipe. The
frying guide on Page xx will assist you.
INSERTING THE FRYING BASKET
Hold the basket by the handle.
Hook the basket over the edge
of the fryer as shown to lift the
basket clear of the oil.
This is the
raised position
and
is used to fill and remove food
from the basket, inspect food
during cooking and to drain
excess oil from the food after
frying.
CONNECTING THE POWER
Plug the fryer into the mains point and switch on the power.
The RED power light will come on showing the fryer is operational. After about 10 minutes, the oil
has reached the correct temperature and the GREEN “ready” light will come on . The appliance is
now ready for use.
Always have the basket in the raised position when filling it with food.
•
Place the food to be cooked (which should be as dry as possible) in the basket.
•
Do not overfill the basket.
•
Lower the filled basket into the oil Take
•
care not to splash any oil.
Cook the food for the required time
•
depending on the recipe. The Frying
guide on Page 8 will help you.
COOKING HOME-BATTERED FOODS
This alternative method requires extreme care.
If you place wet batter in the basket prior to cooking, the food may stick. Coat the food in batter
and leave it to drain slightly to remove any excess.
Ensure the correct cooking temperature has been reached. Lower the EMPTY basket into
•
the oil. Open the lid of the fryer. Using a pair of tongs, slowly lower the coated food care-
fully into the hot oil - this allows the batter to solidify and prevents it sticking to the mesh
of the basket.
Allow the food to cook as normal.
•
USING THE LID
The basket may be covered or uncovered during
cooking. We recommend that the fryer is used
with the basket uncovered as this will lessen the
chance of an accident. During the preheating
process, when the basket is not in the fryer the lid
may be used to cover the fryer if required.
Always hold the lid by the handle when attaching
or removing it.
