HOW TO USE
Before first use
. Remove all packaging. Wash the fry basket in warm, soapy water.
Rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the inside of the fixed oil pot with a soft cloth moistened
with a mild detergent solution. Dry by wiping with kitchen towel.
To Use
Ensure the fryer is on a level, stable surface. Fill the fixed oil pot with vegetable or
sunflower oil between the MIN and MAX levels. Do not use solid fat or lard. Do not fill
past the MAX level.
Connect to the mains supply and turn the thermostat to the desired setting. The
red light will illuminate as the oil heats up. It will go out when the oil has reached the
desired temperature.
Put food to be fried in the fry basket and slowly lower into the oil. Replace the lid.
When frying is complete, switch the unit off at the mains. Carefully remove the lid. Be
careful of escaping steam generated during the frying process. Lift the basket out of
the oil and CAREFULLY shake any excess oil back into the fixed oil pot. Turn out the
fried food on to some kitchen towel to remove any more excess oil if you wish.
Frozen foods
should normally be cooked at a lower temperature for a longer period.
Check the label on the food. Some frozen foods will not be suitable for deep frying.
Ensure food is as dry as possible before adding to the fry basket.
Chips!
If you are making chips from scratch - as opposed to buying pre-cut frozen chips,
select appropriate potatoes - yes they do differ! We found better results by adding to
the oil when it is cold. Then switch on the fryer and set thermostat to 170 for thin cut
chips or 150 for thick cut. Remove chips when golden brown.
Keep an eye on the oil level after a few uses and top up to the MAX level if necessary.
The fryer has an internal overheat protection system so NEVER plug the unit in when
it is empty and do not allow the oil level to drop below the MIN level.
