OPERATION
CAUTION: Make sure that the appliance
is switched off and unplugged from the
mains.
• Open the LID.
• Remove the FRYING BASKET from the
OIL POT and fill the OIL POT with
fresh cooking oil.
CAUTION: Ensure you fill past the
minimum mark but not exceed the
maximum mark (1.5L) as indicated on
the inside of the OIL POT.
IMPORTANT: Butter, margarine, olive
oil or animal fat should not be used due
to its lower smoking temperature.
• Plug the Deep Fat Fryer into a suitable
socket and use the TEMPERATURE
DIAL to set the desired temperature.
The TEMPERATURE INDICATOR LIGHT
will turn green to indicate that the Deep
Fat Fryer is heating up.

• Once it reaches the set
temperature, the
TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
LIGHT will then turn off. At this
point, slowly lower the FRYING
BASKET containing your food
into the OIL POT.
CAUTION: In order to avoid
the risk of scald caused by
splashing oil, we recommend
wearing oven gloves to slowly
lower the FRYING BASKET.
NOTE: The TEMPERATURE
INDICATOR LIGHT will switch
on and off during operation.
This is completely normal and
indicates that the set
temperature is being
maintained by the thermostat.
Once the food has finished
cooking, carefully lift the LID.
CAUTION: Take extra care
when opening the LID as some
steam may escape from inside.

COOKING GUIDELINES
NOTE: Frozen foods will lower the temperature of the oil. Avoid
adding too much frozen food to the FRYING BASKET at once.
Frozen foods will also take slightly longer to cook.
NOTE: It is advised to coat low-starch on foods before frying,
for this will ensure tasty foods and prevent the food from drying
out during cooking.
