Note: The above is a rough guide only. Please follow specific frying instructions on the packet of the
foods that you are frying.
When the red indicator light goes out (after approx. 5-7 minutes) the fryer has reached the
desired temperature. Open the lid and put the food in the basket.
Lower the basket into the oil slowly, making sure the oil level and foam do not exceed the
maximum oil level marker. Close the lid.
When cooking, the temperature controller will heat to (and maintain) the set temperature. The
red indicator light will go out whenever the desired temperature is reached.
When the food is cooked, turn the temperature controller anti-clockwise to the “OFF” position.
The red indicator light will go out. Unplug the fryer or turn off at the power socket; the red
indicator will go out. Open the lid. Raise the basket and drain the oil.
USEFUL HINTS & TIPS:
1. Oils
Always use oil which can withstand high temperatures.
Do not mix different types of oil.
Change the oil when it becomes brown after cooking.
2. Preparing the food
•Whatever the recipe used, the food must be perfectly dry: this will avoid overflowing and make
the oil last longer.
•When preparing potato-based food (especially chips, crisps, etc.), cut them up and then wash
them in cold water to remove the starch. Dry them carefully. This will stop them sticking
together.
3. Cooking
Do not overfill the basket. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and make the food greasy.
Do not keep the oil at a high temperature for long periods. This will make it lose its properties.
Set the temperature controller to the lowest temperature while waiting between batches.
Do not leave the cooked food in the basket in the draining position too long. The vapours could
cause the food to lose its crispness and go soft.
Frozen food can be cooked in the basket without being defrosted.
4. After cooking
Oil can be left in the fryer with its basket and lid on. It will not lose its properties.
Change the fat regularly, after approximately 20 batches.
The surface is hot when frying. Allow to cool fully before touching the fryer to avoid burns.
Before each use check all the parts of the unit for damage. Do not use if damaged.
Ensure the cord is fully extended before use and ensure that it is not in contact with any part of
the fryer.
Switch off and unplug from the mains when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts
and before cleaning. Remove by grasping the plug - do not pull on the power cord.
For indoor, domestic use only.
