Never load food into the basket in the raised position.
Do not fill the frying basket above its top edge.
Do not omit the preheating process!
Cooking with the Fryer
Before cooking with fryer, the tank must first be filled with the correct amount of oil and
be preheated to the correct temperature. Only when this process is complete should you
proceed to the COOKING stage.
Fill the Tank with Oil
1. On the inside of the oil tank at the back, there are two marks MIN and MAX. Pour in
sufficient oil to reach the MAX mark. Do not overfill.
2. The maximum capacity of the tank is 2.5 litres. There should always be sufficient oil
in the tank to cover the MIN mark, i.e 2.0 litres.
3. Corn oil, sunflower oil, ground nut oil and vegetable oil are all suitable for use with
the fryer. If you wish you may use solid vegetable fat but this is much more difficult
to handle. Solid fat should be melted in a separate pan before transferring it to the
tank.
4. Do not use margarine, butter, olive oil, or animal fat. Do not mix different oils and
fats.
5. Lightly smear the viewing window with a little oil. This will prevent it from getting
fogged by condensation and allow you to view the food while it cooks.
Plug the Fryer into the Mains Socket
Plug the fryer into the mains socket and switch on the power at the mains.
Set the Temperature
1. Press the POWER ON/OFF switch, the power indicator will light up green when the
fryer is turned on.
2. Turn the thermostat dial to the desired setting. The frying guide in the
Frying Guide
Time and Temperature Chart
section will assist you.
3. While the oil is heating up to the right temperature, the temperature indicator
will light up red. Once the temperature is reached, the temperature light will
automatically turn off.
When using for the first time, the fryer may emit a slight odour. This is harmless and
quite normal. The odour will cease after a very short time.
Close the Lid and Lower the Basket into the Oil
1. With frying basket fully out of the fryer, fill the basket with food.
