USING YOUR APPLIANCE
1. Fill the oil tank to the appropriate level.
The oil tank is clearly marked with the
Minimum and Maximum oil levels, do not
attempt to fry with less than the minimum
level as this could cause damage and
overheating to the unit.
2. Do not ll over the Maximum level as this
could cause the oil to spill when the food
is placed in the tank to cook, especially
when the food contains moisture.
3. Turn the temperature control to the MIN
position, plug the appliance in and switch
on. The red indicator light will illuminate.
4. Turn the temperature control to the
required temperature, and the green
indicator light will illuminate. This indicates
that the unit is now on and heating the oil.
5. Allow the oil to reach the required
temperature before placing any food in
the oil. This is indicated by the heat light,
which will go out when the oil has reached
the required temperature.
Frying Basket Handle Assembly
1. To assemble the frying basket handles,
squeeze the metal rods of the handles
together and position each end within the
slots of the holder in the basket.
2. With these in place, work the rods into
the vertical grips to secure the handle in
place.
3. Simply reverse this procedure to remove
this handle for cleaning and storage.
CAUTION: Always check the basket handles
to ensure they are secured before cooking with
hot oil to prevent against personal injury.
Heat light:
NOTE: The heat light will cycle o and on
through the frying process as the thermostat
maintains the required temperature.
1. The temperature control dial allows the
temperature to be set between 70°C -
190°C.
2. Never use the controller to switch the
appliance o. Always switch o at the
power switch and unplug.
Cooking with your Deep Fat Fryer:
1. Place the food in the frying basket.
Do not overload the basket as this will
substantially lower the oil temperature.
2. Once the oil has reached the correct
temperature and the heat light has turned
o, slowly lower the fry basket into the oil.
3. When the food is ready, remove the lid (if it
has been used) by lifting it by the handle.
Always open the lid of the fryer away from
yourself. Lift the basket up slowly out of
the oil, making sure the basket handle is
xed in the up position.
4. After the excess oil has drained, place the
food on a paper towel lined baking sheet
to allow any remaining oil to drain away.
5. If you are frying more than one load,
ensure the oil re-heats to the required
temperature.

Safety Cut-out:
• In the vent of overheating, the safety cut
out will switch o the deep fat fryer. This
can happen if the deep fat fryer is not lled
with sucient oil, or if solid frying fat is
melted in the deep fat fryer.
• If the safety cut out switches o the deep
fat fryer, take the following steps:
• Allow the oil or fat to cool down.
• Carefully push in the reset switch at the
rear of the control element with a small
screwdriver.
• The deep fat fryer is now ready for use.
Safety switch:
The safety switch in the removable power pack
ensures that the heating element can only be
switched on when the removable power pack
locks in to place with a click.

TIPS:
• Certain vegetables, such as potatoes
will not require a coating as they form a
natural skin around themselves. However,
most meat and sh will require a batter or
breading.
• Gently lower food into the oil.
• Don’t overll the fryer. It’s better to fry in
batches.
• Take into account the type of food you
are cooking when selecting a frying
temperature. Generally, pre-cooked food
will require a higher temperature and less
cooking time than raw food.
CAUTION: Certain foods may begin to turn
golden brown before they are fully cooked.
• Always check the food is fully cooked
before serving.
Oil:
• Always start with clean oil. To keep your
oil clean, strain out any food remnants
after use, and replace the oil completely
after 8 - 10 uses.
• Suitable oils to use in your fryer include
vegetable, sunower, sesame, groundnut,
corn, soy, hazelnut and rapeseed.
• Peanut oil, saower oil, sunower oil and
canola oil are the best choices as they
have ‘high smoke points’. This means
they don’t break down at deep frying
temperatures.

9
www.elgento.co
• If you use the same oil for frying
repeatedly, the temperature at which
the smoke point occurs is lowered. This
happens less in rapeseed and sunower
oils.
• Avoid using olive oil, butter or margarine
in your fryer as they are unsuitable for
cooking at such high temperatures.
• Dierent oils have dierent tastes to them.
Canola oil tastes fairly neutral, hazelnut oil
has a distinctive taste, light sesame oil has
a nutty avour which is especially good
for frying, and rapeseed oil is a popular
choice with a light and delicate taste.
Peanut oil doesn’t absorb or transfer
avours, making it good for cooking –
however, its smoking point is lower than
that of corn or saower oil.
• Almond, avocado and cottonseed oil are
also great to fry with, although they are
harder to nd and more expensive.
• Rapeseed oil is also a healthy choice as
it has less unhealthy saturated fat than all
other cooking oils, along with being a rich
source in vitamin E.
• Change the oil in your fryer after every
8 – 10 uses. When you do change the oil,
never pour it down the drain. Dispose of it
safely according to the guidelines of your
local council.
• The oil tank is removable. Tip and pour
it to empty. Do not attempt to empty or
change the oil when the machine or oil is
still hot. Allow to cool completely before
cleaning or moving.

allow the appliance to cool down before
