USING YOUR APPLIANCE
1. Fill the oil tank to the appropriate level.
The oil tank is clearly marked with the
Minimum and Maximum oil levels, do not
attempt to fry with less than the minimum
level as this could cause damage and
overheating to the unit.
2. Do not fill over the Maximum level as this
could cause the oil to spill when the food
is placed in the tank to cook, especially
when the food contains moisture.
3. Turn the temperature control to the MIN
position, plug the appliance in and switch
on. The red indicator light will illuminate.
4. Turn the temperature control to the
required temperature, and the green
indicator light will illuminate. This indicates
that the unit is now on and heating the oil.
5. Allow the oil to reach the required
temperature before placing any food in
the oil. This is indicated by the heat light,
which will go out when the oil has reached
the required temperature.
Frying Basket Handle Assembly
1. To assemble the frying basket handles,
squeeze the metal rods of the handles
together and position each end within the
slots of the holder in the basket.
2. With these in place, work the rods into
the vertical grips to secure the handle in
place.
3. Simply reverse this procedure to remove
this handle for cleaning and storage.
CAUTION:
Always check the basket handles
to ensure they are secured before cooking with
hot oil to prevent against personal injury.
Heat light:
NOTE:
The heat light will cycle off and on
through the frying process as the thermostat
maintains the required temperature.
1. The temperature control dial allows the
temperature to be set between 70°C -
190°C.
2. Never use the controller to switch the
appliance off. Always switch off at the
power switch and unplug.
Cooking with your Deep Fat Fryer:
1. Place the food in the frying basket.
Do not overload the basket as this will
substantially lower the oil temperature.
2. Once the oil has reached the correct
temperature and the heat light has turned
off, slowly lower the fry basket into the oil.
3. When the food is ready, remove the lid (if it
has been used) by lifting it by the handle.
Always open the lid of the fryer away from
yourself. Lift the basket up slowly out of
the oil, making sure the basket handle is
fixed in the up position.
4. After the excess oil has drained, place the
food on a paper towel lined baking sheet
to allow any remaining oil to drain away.
5. If you are frying more than one load,
ensure the oil re-heats to the required
temperature.
