oil and press the TIMER button.
When the TIMER button is pressed,
the timer will start to count down, and
the cooking process begins.
NOTE
When cooking chips using the Twice Fried
method, it is not recommended to cook with
the lid on due to the possible build up of
excess condensation.

11
The fryer is programmed to heat to the
correct overshoot temperature because when
the cooler chips are lowered into the oil,
the temperature of the oil will fall.
The overshoot temperature ensures that the
chips cook at the optimal temperature, even
after they initially cause the oil temperature
to drop.
When the timer finishes counting down,
the alarm will sound to signal the end of the
cooking cycle. PRESS TIMER, TWICE FRIED
CHIPS, 1ST FRY and FRESH, the time and
temperature will be displayed.
4. Push the TIMER button to stop the alarm

In TWICE FRIED CHIPS mode it is possible
to adjust the timer and temperature once the
timer has started but it is not possible to switch
between 1ST FRY and 2ND FRY.
At this point, the fryer is able to proceed to
either the 2ND FRY or to another 1ST FRY of a
second batch of chips, depending on the total
quantity to be fried. TWICE FRIED CHIPS,
FRESH, 1ST FRY, PRESS TIMER, the time and
cooking temperature display.
NOTE
If a second batch of chips is to be cooked, we
recommend to 1ST FRY both batches and then
proceed to the 2ND FRY for both batches.
This process means less heating and cooling of
oil, providing better results and is more
time efficient.

HEATING and the actual temperature of
the oil will show. When the oil has reached
the correct temperature, PRESS TIMER
will display.
3. Fill the basket with the 1st fried batch.
Lower the basket into the deep fryer and
press the TIMER button. PRESS TIMER
will disappear. The timer will begin to
count down. When the timer finishes
counting down, the alarm will sound to
signal the end of the cooking cycle.
PRESS TIMER displays.
4. Press the TIMER button and raise the
basket. Allow to drain and cool, then turn
out into a lined bowl.
Repeating 1ST FRY with new

plate lined with paper towel to cool.
2. Follow the instructions for 1ST FRY above.
CUSTOM MODE
The CUSTOM cooking mode has a default
setting of 5:00 minutes and 180°C. This can
be changed by turning the SCROLL/SELECT
knob to CUSTOM and then changing either
the time or temperature or both. If the default
settings in custom mode are changed, the deep
fryer will remember the last settings that have
been selected, even after being unplugged.

12
NOTE
If using the lid during and immediately after
cooking, steam may rise through the filter vent
openings in the lid. This is normal, however
avoid touching this area during cooking to
prevent steam burns as the steam generated is
at a high temperature.
As the basket gets very hot, only use the handle
to hold or carry the basket for serving. Ensure
the basket handle is locked into position.
Solid oil products, such as butter, margarine or
animal fats of any kind should not be used in
the deep fryer as they may overheat and cause
a fire hazard.
Water and oil do not mix – never add any water
or other liquid to hot oil. Even small amounts
of water will cause the oil to splatter.
The deep fryer will generate a lot of heat and
steam during and after the cooking process.
To prevent the risk of burns, do not touch or
block the steam ventilation area on the lid.
Extreme caution must be used when the deep
fryer is filled with hot oil or other liquid. Do not
move the deep fryer during cooking and allow
it to cool before removing oil.
Tips
Foods should be crisp when deep fried.
If results are soggy, the oil isn’t hot enough.
This can be attributed to one or more of
the following:
• Not enough preheating time.
• Temperature too low.
• Too much food in the basket
(do not fill more than two thirds full).
• Do not use solid frying oil,
only use liquid oils.
Use good quality liquid oil. For best results,
use the below recommended oils.
NOTE
We don't recommend cooking more than 1kg
of food at a time.
The most suitable oils for
deep frying include:
All oils have different smoke points. Smoke
points are the point at which the fat begins to
break down into visible gaseous products.
• The smoke point of different fats is
determined by the free fatty acid content
of the fat. Generally, the lower the free
fatty acid content the more stable the
fat and the higher the smoke point.
• Free fatty acid levels are generally
lower in refined vegetable oils with a
smoke point of around 230°C. Where
as animal fats are around 190°C.
• The smoke point of a deep-frying fat is
lowered every time it is used. Food particles
are always left behind after cooking. This
will also lower the smoke point of the fat.
• Olive oil is not recommended or deep frying
due to its low smoke-point temperature.
• Suitable oils for deep frying include:
Peanut oil, Vegetable oil, Canola oil,
Safflower oil and Rice Bran oil.

13
Peanut Oil
Peanut oil is obtained from the kernels
of the ground nut or peanut. It has a
delicate flavour, nutty odour and has a
high smoke point. Peanut oil is high in
mono-unsaturated oil and Vitamin E.
Vegetable Oil
A general term that refers to a blend of oils
extracted from various seeds and fruits.
Vegetable oil has a very mild flavour and
aroma. It is low in cholesterol and saturated
fats.
Canola Oil
Made from seeds of the canola plant. It is
relatively low in saturated fats, contains
Omega 3 fatty acids and has a bland,
neutral flavour.
Safflower Oil
The oil is extracted from the seeds of the
sunflower plant. It is pale yellow in colour with
virtually no flavour. Sunflower oil is high in
polyunsaturated fats and low in saturated fats.
Rice Bran Oil
The oil is extracted from the germ and husk of
rice. It has a mild, nutty flavour and high smoke
point. It is high in vitamin E and antioxidants.
NOTE
Do not overfill the basket. Large quantities of
food may cause the Oil to bubble and overflow.
Small batches of food cook much better and
make operation of the deep fryer safer.
Method for the perfect chips
1. Select any of the following oils: peanut oil,
rice bran oil, sunflower oil, vegetable oil.
2. Use a floury unwashed potato such as
Sebago or King Edward.
3. Wash and peel potatoes. Using the freshest
potatoes will give the best results.
4. Cut into 1cm thick chips and place into a
large bowl. Cover with cold water & soak for
30 minutes.
5. When ready to use, drain and dry
thoroughly with paper towel or a clean
teatowel. It is important to dry the chips
thoroughly as water and oil do not mix -
even contact with small amounts of water
can cause the oil to spatter.
6. Fill deepfryer with 4 litres of oil.
7. Set deepfryer to TWICE FRY CHIPS/
FRESH setting.
8. Select 1ST FRY and press the START/
CANCEL button to PREHEAT the oil.
9. Cook up to 1kg batch of chips at a time.
10. Place chips into basket and lower into hot
oil. Press TIMER button. Cook until the
alarm sound signals end of cooking cycle.
11. Remove chips from oil and drain on a tray
lined with paper towel to cool slightly.
12. Continue this method until all the potatoes
have been through the 1ST FRY.
13. Alternatively, to continue cooking
chips directly onto 2ND FRY, leave
blanched chips in basket and drain on
basket hook.
14. Select TWICE FRY CHIPS/FRESH setting
and choose 2ND FRY. Press START/
CANCEL button to PREHEAT the oil and
continue as below.
15. Place chips into basket and lower into hot
oil. Press TIMER button. Cook until the
alarm sound signals end of cooking cycle.
16. Remove chips from basket and drain onto a
tray lined with paper towel.
17. Season with sea salt and serve immediately.
NOTE
Twice fried chips temperatures are based on
1kg load of fresh hand cut potato chips.
Types of potatoes that make the most
succulent chips include the following:
Bintje, Kennebec, Red rascal, Sebago, Russet,
King Edward.

14
When should I change the oil?
What should I look for?
It is recommended to change the oil every
week if deep fryer is used every day.
If using once or twice a week, the oil can be
changed every three weeks.
There are distinct indicators that will show
you when your oil is no longer deep frying
effectively. These include:
• The surface of the oil will begin
to foam once heated.
• Smoke will appear on the surface of
the oil before the recommended deep
frying temperatures are reached.
• Oils can develop an ‘off’ smell. This
indicates that the oil has become rancid.
• The oil’s odour is that of the foods
you have cooked eg. seafood.
• The oil will change in viscosity, that
is, it will pour slowly and become
thick with a syrupy appearance.
Storage and preparation of used oil
Re-using your oil is best achieved if proper
methods are used after and during cooking.
1. Never season or salt food before or during
cooking as it will burn and discolour the oil.
This in turn shortens the lifespan of your oil.
2. Cool oil completely before pouring through
a coffee filter or cloth to remove food solids
and debris.
3. Store in a sealed container either in the
refrigerator or in a cool dark cupboard.
4. Repeat the filtering and cleaning
process after each use.
5. Properly dispose of old used oil according
to council requirements.
