Before First Use:
Read all instructions and safety information carefully before first use. Please retain this
information for future reference.
1.
Remove your appliance from the packaging.
2.
Ensure that all contents are present and check for any visible signs of damage to the
appliance, cord or plug.
3.
Before using the appliance for the first time, carefully clean the lid, oil reservoir and
frying basket.
4. DO NOT use any aggressive detergents, brushes with metal or nylon bristles or sharp
objects such as knives or spatulas for cleaning the unit.
5.
Your appliance is now ready for normal use.
6.
Dispose of packaging in a responsible manner.
Attaching the Frying Basket Handle:
The fryer is equipped with a removable handle for the frying basket.
1.
To assemble the frying basket handle, squeeze the metal rods of the handles
together and position each end within the slots of the holder in the basket, as shown
below.
2.
Once the rods are correctly positioned, slot each of them into one of the vertical grips
to secure the handle in place, as shown below.
3.
Simply reverse this procedure to remove this handle for cleaning and storage.
Using Your Appliance.
Filling the fryer with oil or fat:
It is recommended that you always use high quality oils and fats that are recommended
for this type of frying, as this will allow the full flavour of the food to be tasted and the oil
itself will remain usable for longer.
Suitable oils to use in your fryer include vegetable, sunflower, sesame, groundnut, corn,
soy, hazelnut and rapeseed.
Peanut oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil and canola oil are the best choices as they have ‘high
smoke points’. This means they don’t break down at deep frying temperatures.
If you use the same oil for frying repeatedly, the temperature at which the smoke point
occurs is lowered. This happens less in rapeseed and sunflower oils.
Avoid using margarine, olive oil or butter. These types of fats are unsuitable for frying and
can give off smoke, even at low temperatures.
1.
Make sure that the thermostat control dial is in the “off” position, and the unit is
unplugged and cold.
2.
Open the top lid.
3.
Remove the frying basket using the handle.
4. Fill the reservoir with oil or fat (1 Litre MAX). ALWAYS take care to ensure the level of oil
is between the ‘MIN’ and ‘MAX’ fill lines on the reservoir wall. If you use blocks of fat,
cut them into pieces before placing them in the reservoir.
5.
Close the lid.
6.
Plug in your appliance and switch on at the socket.
7.
To melt the fat, turn the Thermostat Control Dial clockwise to the required
temperature and the indicator light will illuminate.
8.
To melt, the fat needs approximately 6 minutes in the oil reservoir. Never attempt to
melt fat in the basket.
