POLAR ZED PLUG NSTRUCT ONS
Some appliances are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug
will fit into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
properly fit into the outlet at first, re erse it. If it still does not fit,
contact a competent qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify
the plug in any way.
For appliances equipped with a standard plug, simply insert the plug
into the outlet without paying attention to the way you plug it.
SHORT CORD NSTRUCT ONS
A short power supply cord is pro ided to reduce the hazards resulting
from becoming entangled in, or tripping o er a longer cord. Do not
use the appliance with an extension cord.

in the basket.
F RST USE
• When using the appliance for the first time, pour the required
amount of oil in the bowl, making sure that the le el is between
the MIN and MAX marks indicated inside the bowl.
• We recommend that you use a liquid oil that is suitable for deep
fat frying. Check the label on the bottle. If you wish to use a solid
fat, cut the fat in small pieces. Plug it into an electrical outlet. Put
the thermostat on the minimum position and add the fat pieces
slowly. When the fat has melted, set the thermostat to the desired
temperature. WARN NG: FA LURE TO OBSERVE TH S W LL DAMAGE

• Lower the basket slowly into the fryer. We advise you not to put
the lid during cooking.
• When the food is ready, lift out the basket, make it rest at an
angle on the lip of the bowl with the hook situated in front of the
handle and allow the food to drain.
• Warning: Show care when remo ing the lid as hot steam may be
emitted.
• Ensure the food is thoroughly cooked inside and out.
• Your deep fat fryer does not ha e an ON/OFF switch. After use,
turn the thermostat to its minimum position and unplug the
appliance and let its lid open to accelerate the cooling. Ne er
mo e the appliance as long as the oil or fat is still hot.
FOR BEST RESULTS
• Always dry food well before frying. Very ‘wet’ food can cause the
oil to ‘foam’ and may o erflow.
• Food for frying should be roughly of the same size to ensure the
food cooks e enly and thoroughly.
• Many types of food may need to be coated before frying -
typical coatings are batter or breadcrumbs.
• Always wait until the fryer has reached the desired temperature
and the light has gone out, before adding the food.
• Do not o erfill the basket.
REC PES
Fresh Chips
• Fresh chips are best fried in two stages.
• Use ‘old’ potatoes (not ‘new’ potatoes). Cut the potatoes into
equal sizes. Rinse the chipped potatoes under running water to
reduce the starch le el. Dry thoroughly and separate the pieces.
• Do not exceed the recommended weight. When the
temperature has reached 355°F, place the chips in the basket,
close the lid and slowly lower the basket into the oil
• For 200g of chips, fry for +/- 5 minutes on 355°F then raise the
basket. Do not open the lid.

• Wait until the temperature light goes out again, lower the basket
and fry for a further 2 minutes.

absorbent paper to remo e excess oil.

the thickness of the chips.

time.
