3. Before use, ensure the deep fryer is filled with the required amount of oil or fat. Never
use the deep fryer without oil or fat – this could damage the unit.
4. Never move the deep fryer during use. The oil becomes very hot. Wait until the unit
and oil have completely cooled down before moving.
5. This deep fryer is protected with a thermal safety device, which switches the machine
off automatically if it overheats.
6. Never immerse the appliance in water.
7. Never leave the deep fryer unattended while in use.
8. Always ensure the safety of children if they are near the deep fryer.
9. If the deep fryer and/or cord are damaged, they must be repaired by a professional
service department. Do not try to repair the unit yourself or replace the damaged cord.
This requires special tools.
10. Be sure not to damage the heating element (do not bend or dent).
11. The electrical component is required with a safety heat switch, ensuring the heating
element only functions when correctly placed on the fryer.
12. In the case of overheating, the thermal protective device will switch off the fryer
automatically. This device is a small red button found either on the underside of the
electrical component or in the cord storage compartment. It can be reactivated by
pushing the button again with a pointed object (e.g. a pen).
**Disconnect from the power outlet before reactivating!

PREPARING YOUR FRYER
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME:
● Remove all printed documents and any other packaging materials.
● Pull out all removable parts and wash gently with hot water.
Do not immerse the power cord, control box assembly and heating elements in
water or any other liquids.
● Dry all parts thoroughly before assembling.
● Do not operate the fryer without enough oil in the oil tank.
● Keep this appliance on a flat and stable surface, ensuring the power cord is out of the
reach of children.
Tips:
● When frying different foods, fry the food with the lowest temperature setting first.
● Do not mix different types of oil for frying.
● Frying precooked foods may take less time than completely raw food.
● Replace the oil after each 5-6 uses; or earlier if the oil becomes brown and thick.
SAFETY TIPS
● ONLY USE OIL OR LIQUID FAT WITH THIS APPLIANCE. DO NOT USE WITH SOLID
FAT – WATER COULD GET TRAPPED INSIDE AND THE HOT FAT MAY SPURT OUT
WITH CONSIDERABLE FORCE.
● Never switch on the deep fryer without oil or liquid fat, as this could damage the
machine. Also, do not place any other liquids such as water or other substances in the
pan.
● Place the deep fryer on a dry, stable surface. Since the deep fryer becomes hot during
use, ensure it is not too close to other objects.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
● Make sure the appliance is UNPLUGGED.
● Assemble the control box into the oil pan. Make sure the control box is secured
properly and the small black safety switch is activated. Otherwise, the fryer will not
power on properly.
● Remove the frying basket and allow it to hang on the backside of the oil pan.
● Use good quality frying oil such as Peanut oil, Vegetable oil, pure Corn oil, Sunflower
oil, Canola oil or Light Olive oil (do not mix different oils together).
● Pour oil into the container, ensuring it is between the ‘MIN’ and ‘MAX’ marking.
● Do not fill over the ‘MAX’ marking or lower than the ‘MIN’ markings.
● Ensure the temperature control and timer knobs are set to ‘OFF’ or ‘0’.
● PLUG the power cord into an outlet.
● Following your recipe, move the thermostat to the desired temperature and the timer
knob to the desired time.
● While the oil is preheating, prepare the food that is going to be fried.
● When the oil has reached the set temperature, the red light will turn off.
NOTE: The red ready light will cycle on and off with the thermostat to maintain the set
temperature.

● When placing the food into the basket, make sure it is as dry as possible. Do not add
water, ice or wet food – this may cause HOT OIL TO SPLATTER.
● When frying Frozen food, clear off any ice particles and thaw food thoroughly.
● Do not overfill the basket.
● Lower the basket of food into hot oil and cover the fryer with the lid.
WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH THE CONTROL KNOB DURING THE FRYING PROCESS.
HOT STEAM MAY BE RELEASED AND CAUSE INJURY.
● When food has finished drying, remove the lid. Lift the basket slowly out of the hot oil
and place the basket on the drain support located on the back of the frying basket.
● After the excess oil has drained, place the food on a paper towel-lined baking sheet to
allow any remaining oil to drain away.
● If you are frying more than one load, ensure the oil reheats to the required temperature.
