Assembly
• Position the heater of the fryer in place.
There is a safety switch located inside the lifting mechanism, which will shut off power
supply when it is lifted or when heater is not positioned well inside the oil tank.
Start frying
1. Pour cooking oil into the oil tank between the MIN and MAX markings.
2. Connect the appliance to the mains power supply.
3. Set the thermostat to the desired temperature (Note: 170°C to 180°C is suitable for general
cooking). The heating indicator light turns On and the appliance begins to heat the oil.
4. When the set temperature is reached, the Heating indicator light turns Off.
5. Lower the basket with food into the oil. The heating indicator light turns On again.
• Note: During use, the heating indicator light will cycle on/off, indicating the set
temperature is being maintained.
6. When the food is cooked, lift the basket and hang it up to allow the oil to drain for about 1 minute.
WARNING: The food and oil are very hot! Take care when removing the basket as oil may
drip.
7. After use, set the thermostat to “O” (OFF position) and disconnect the appliance from power supply.

Thermal Cut-out Reset
The appliance is fitted with a Thermal Cut-Out safety switch. Should the temperature exceed safe levels
the appliance will automatically cut off power.
The thermal Cut-out switch is located on the front of the unit. To reset the appliance after a sufficient
cool-down period:
1. Unscrew the reset switch cover.
2. Press the small reset switch down until it clicks, using a blunt pointed instrument.
3. The appliance is now reset and can be used as normal.
Cleaning, Care & Maintenance
The Fryer should be cleaned after each day’s operation; however it may require cleaning
more often, depending on the volume of frying carried out.
Failure to clean the appliance regularly may result in premature activation of the thermal
cut-out switch.
Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents on the appliance.
1. Switch off the power and disconnect from the power supply.
2. Allow the appliance and oil to cool before cleaning.
3. Check the temperature with a suitable probe thermometer. 40ºC is the MAXIMUM temperature at
which oil should be removed. Empty the oil tank by opening the drainage tap on the front of the unit.
Note: If the remaining oil is to be reused, filtering it before storage will extend the oil’s
cooking life.
4. Remove the heaters before cleaning takes place. The lifting mechanism cannot be immersed in
water, but can be wiped down with a damp cloth.
5. Use a suitable detergent to clean the oil tank. Let it dry well, ensuring no moisture enters the inside
of the appliance.
6. The main body can also be cleaned with warm soapy water.
7. After cleaning as above, please use a dry cloth to clean the appliance to ensure there is no water on
the heating element and in the oil tank.
