• If you add too much food, the temperature will not recover and your food will
absorb oil.
• If the oil foams and threatens to overflow, there’s too much food in the basket
(take some out), the food is too moist (dry the food with paper towel and try again),
or the oil is old or contaminated (replace it).
• Every time oil is heated, it deteriorates.
• Every time food is put into it, moisture, particles of food and fat, flour and spices
from coatings, water from frozen foods, cause further deterioration.
• Particles blacken, burn, and stick to the next batch of food, altering its look and
taste. Filtering the oil can alleviate this a little.
• Pre-cooked and oven chips have a coating of oil from the pre-cooking process.
This will thicken and discolour the oil in your fryer.
• If you fry coated foods often, it’s worth keeping two lots of oil, one for coated
foods and one for “oil-friendly” foods. Keep them in separate, labelled containers.
• Even filtered oil will be past its best after 10 to 12 uses. It may look OK, but it’ll
already have affected the quality and taste of your food.
• As a rough guide, if you notice a marked improvement in flavour after changing
the oil, you should have changed it earlier.
• Don’t top up oil that’s past its best. You’re just wasting new oil.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Unplug the fryer, and leave it to cool down fully.
• If you intend to move the fryer without emptying it, take care, it’ll be heavy.
• Don’t put the fryer in water or any other liquid.
• Don’t put the fryer in a dishwasher.
• Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
• Cover the work surface generously with paper towel (at least three layers thick).
• You’ll need a suitable container for the used cooking oil. If the container doesn’t
have a wide opening, use a funnel.
• If you want to filter the oil at the same time, support a fine sieve over a wide
necked container, or fit the funnel with a filter paper.
• The control panel is removable for easy cleaning. To remove it, pull it straight
upwards out of the two slots (Fig B). Do not imerse the control panel in liquid.
• The lid is removable for easy cleaning. Open the lid, and lift it straight upwards and
out of its mounts (Fig C). To refit the lid, lower it into its mounts on the rear of the
fryer body.
• Use the handle to lift the basket straight up out of its mounts on the front of the
fryer.
Emptying the bowl
• The bowl can be lifted out of the fryer body for easy emptying/cleaning. Remove
the control panel first.
• If you’re using a funnel, fit it to the oil container.
• Pour the oil from the side or rear of the bowl into the container or funnel.
• If you’re filtering at the same time, you’ll need to pour the oil a little at a time,
waiting till the last lot has filtered through before adding the next lot.
