OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before First Use
Remove all packaging parts from the unit and the container and take the accessories out of the cooking
oil container. Dispose of packaging material or store out of the reach of children to prevent risk of
suffocation.
Check the unit for possible damage in transport. Clean the unit as described in the Cleaning and
Maintenance section.
Using the Fryer
We recommend using quality vegetable oil that is heat resistant and suitable for
frying. Never switch on the fryer without cooking oil.
1. Fill the fryer at least up to the MIN marking but not higher than the MAX mark that is stamped
inside the oil container.The fryer when full will use 1500ml of cooking oil. Do not exceed the MAX
mark; otherwise there is a serious risk of burns from boiling oil.
2. Plug in the power plug into an earthed socket. Switch on the deep fryer by turning the thermostat
controller clockwise.The GREEN control light turns on and indicates that the unit is connected to
the mains power.
3. Select the required temperature with the thermostat controller.The heating control light indicates
that the heating element is turned on.When the RED lamp goes out the fryer has reached the
required temperature.The RED light will continue to come on and go off as the fryer maintains the
temperature of the oil.
4. Fill the basket with your food of choice.The food should be free from water or excess ice.
5. Carefully put the frying basket into the fryer. Pay attention, hot oil can splatter. If when putting the
basket into the fryer the oil begins to bubble and rise, carefully raise the frying basket and then lower
again.
6. After frying is done, hook the frying basket on the edges of the oil container and let excess oil
drip down. Remove the frying basket from the edge of the oil container and empty the fried food
into a suitable bowl.
7. Turn the thermostat controller fully anti-clockwise. Switch off the deep fryer at the mains and
remove the plug from the socket.
8. Allow the hot oil to cool down and then remove debris and coatings or breading after each use.
