Prepare the food (cont.)
1.
Whilst lid is closed, lift up the basket handle until it clicks (Fig A).
This will raise the basket out of the oil. Open lid by pressing lid
button and remove basket to fill.
2.
Put the prepared food pieces in the basket. Try not to put more
than two layers of food in the basket. If you need to fry more, do
it in batches.
3.
Place basket back into position on fryer and close the lid.
Unlock the basket handle release button and slowly lower the
handle. This will lower the basket into the oil.
4.
The oil will foam as it comes into contact with water from the
food. As long as the foam doesn't threaten to overflow the bowl,
this shouldn't be a cause for alarm.
5.
If the foam threatens to overflow the bowl, raise the handle to lift the basket out of the oil.
See HINTS AND TIPS for possible solutions.

Frying the food
1.
Stay in the kitchen and keep an eye on the frying process.
2.
Do not lean or reach over the fryer while the oil is hot.
3.
When the food is cooked, lift up the basket handle until it clicks to raise the basket out of the
oil.
4.
Stand back, and press the lid button to open the lid. Beware of escaping steam.
5.
Put on an oven glove, then use the handle to lift the basket straight up out of its mounts on
the front of the fryer.
6.
Empty the food into the lined colander or plate to drain before serving.
7.
Refit the empty basket onto the fryer. Align the tab in front of the handle with the slot in the
front of the fryer, close lid and slide the basket down into its mounts on the front of the fryer.
• If you have finished cooking, rotate the temperature control to the minimum position and
switch off and remove the plug from the wall power outlet. Leave the fryer to cool down
before cleaning.
• If you want to fry another batch of food, check the oil level and top up as necessary.
