• Do not leave the appliance unattended
when in use.
• Always use the appliance on a dry, level
surface.
• Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces,
become knotted or hang from the edge of
benchtops.
• Do not place this appliance on or near a hot
gas or electric burner, or where it could
touch a heated oven.
• This appliance is for household use only.
Do not use this appliance for other than
its intended use. Do not use in moving
vehicles or beats. Do not use outdoors.
• Regularly inspect the supply cord, plug
and actual appliance for any damage. If

cease use of the appliance and return the
entire appliance to the nearest authorised
Catler Servise Centre for examination,
replacement or repair.
• Keep this unit clear of walls, curtains and
other heat sensitive materials (minimum
distance 20 cm). Do not place unit under
shelving or ammable materials when in
use.
• Always follow the maximum and minimum
quantities of oil stated in the instructions
and recipes.
• Do not exceed the maximum ll level
(3 litres). Never overll the bowl with oil.
Extreme caution must be used when the
appliance is lled with hot oil. Always allow
the appliance to cool before removing

• Do not move the deep fryer during cooking
or whist hot.
• When deep frying, ensure no water comes
in contact with hot oil as this will cause

• The installation of a residual current
device (safety switch) is recommended to
provide additional safety protection when
using electrical appliances. It is advisable
that a safety switch with a rated residual
operating current not exceeding 300mA be
installed in the electrical circuit supplying
the appliance. See your eletrician for
professional advice.

OPERATING YOUR DEEP FRYER DF 8010
WARNING:
DURING AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER COOOKING, YOU MAY SEE STEAM RISING
THROUGH THE FILTER VENT OPENINGS IN TEH LID. THIS IS NORMAL, HOWEVER
AVOID TOUCHING THIS AREA DURING COOKING TO PREVENT STEAM BURNS AS THE
STEAM THAT IS GENERATED IS AT A HIGH TEMPERATURE.
AS THE BASKET ITSELF GETS VERY HOT, ONLY USE THE HANDLE TO HOLD OR CARRY
THE BASKET FOR SERVING.

11 OPERATING YOUR DEEP FRYER DF 8010
The submerged heating element system
on the DF 8010 allows oil to be heated
more eectively, and respond quickly to oil
temperature change.
Oil before the heating element is cooler and
allows cooked foods including crumbs to sink
to the bottom of the stainless steel bowl and
not cook any further, tainting the oil taste.
This allows further cooking to take place
without food particles interfering or tainting
the cooked result.
The Cool Zone Technology results in less need
to change the cooking oil. Used oil can be
re-used more times than in standard deep
fryers.
Always add the required amount of oil
BEFORE switching the power on at the power
outlet. An Auto Cut-Out safety switch will be
activated if the unit is turned on without oil
in the bowl.
To re-activate the unit, let the unit cool
completely and then reset by pushing the red
button on the back of the controller assembly
above the cord storage.
´COOL ZONE´ TECHNOLOGY AUTO CUT-OUT RESET BUTTON

Cleaning

• Before cleaning the deep fryer, always
make sure the unit is disconnected from
the power outlet.
• Make sure the unit and oil are completely
cool. Do not attempt to move or carry the
deep fryer, element and control assembly

• Remove the control assembly of the deep
fryer by lifting upwards (Fig. 5).

type of food cooked), lter the oil through
a ne sieve.
• The removable stainless steel bowl
allows for easy cleaning. Wipe down the
bowl with absorbent paper, then a damp
cloth and a little mild detergent. Finally
wipe the bowl with a clean damp cloth
and dry with a clean dry cloth.

HANDY TIPS
HANDY TIPS
Food should be crisp when deep fried. If
results are soggy, it is because the oil is not
hot enough. This can be attributed to one or
more of the following:
• Not enough preheating time.
• Temperature setting is too low.
• Too much food in the basket (do not ll
more than two thirds full).
• Do not use solid frying oil, only use liquid
oils.
• Use a good quality liquid oil. For best
results we recommend the oils listed in
the table below. We do not recommend
fats that deteriotate quickly such as
lard or dripping. Deep frying in butter
or margarine is also not recommended
because of the low smoke-point
temperatures.
• Oil can be re-used several times before
it starts to break down (smoke-point
decreased ie. The oil will burn at a lower
temperature, fried food will be less
crisp). Filter the cooled oil through a ne
sieve then store in an airtight container
in a dark place. As oil will absorb food
avour, it is a good idea to label the
container with the type of food the oil
was used for. For example you would not
deep fry a dessert in oil previously used
for cooking sh. A ne sieve can be a new
chux cloth, paper coee lter or clean
cotton material.
• Olive oil is not recommended for deep
frying due to its low smoke-point.
