Operating Instructions
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using fryer for first time, wash pot and basket thoroughly with warm, soapy
water, carefully dry iron pot to maintain the good aesthetic appearance.
Do not use fryer without oil or fat. Fryer will be severely damaged if heated dry.
This fryer has a thermal safety device. In case of thermostat failure, the electrical
circuit has an automatic cut-out, thus preventing overheating.
Should the fryer leak, please contact the store where you bought it. To ensure safe
operation, excessive food or utensils must not be inserted into the fryer.
HOW TO USE
1. Unfold the wire mesh basket handle, squeeze the tines of the handle together and
allow fitting into the basket bracket.
2. Pour between 0.8-1.0 liters of oil into the fryer. The level of oil must be between the
two marks marked, MAX & MIN on the wall of the vessel.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING: Always ensure the correct amount of oil is in the fryer
before switching the power on. The heating element will become overheated and the
risk of oil fire if you do not follow this instruction.
3. Plug into power outlet and set thermostat to the required temperature (see the
Frying Times Reference Menu on page 7). The power indicator will to out when the
set temperature is reached. The POWER INDICATOR will light automatically while
the temperatures keep rising and go out when the set temperature is reached. The
heating element is thermostatically controlled and has to switch on and off (light on
and off) automatically during the cooking process to maintain the desired cooking
temperature.
4. Add the food (as dry as possible) into the basket first. IMPORTANT: Too many pieces
lower the oil temperature causing food to absorb oil and/or cook improperly. Place
uniform sized pieces of food into the basket so that they will cook evenly. Be sure to
dry all foods before frying.
5. Place the basket back into the fryer.
6. After the cooking time has elapsed, lift the basket out of the oil to drain.
NOTE: Use only a good quality vegetable oil or all purpose shortening for deep frying.
Deep frying foods in butter, margarine, olive oil or animal fat are not recommended
because of lower smoking temperatures.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING: Escaping steam may cause burns to hands or fingers.
Open lid carefully. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious burns as
hot oil may spill from fryer.
