DF660
Our unique design means cleaning your fryer could not be simpler -
just pull out the electrics unit and wash the rest. The easy-to-use
temperature dial lets you choose the right temperature for whatever
you are cooking, and the window lets you view what is going on inside.
For extra safety you can even raise and lower the basket without
opening the lid.

safety
●Never plug in the fryer before filling the bowl with oil.
●Keep children away during use and after - fat stays hot for a long time.
●Never let the cord touch hot surfaces or hang down over the worktop

in cord storage area at the back of the fryer.
●Never touch the bowl, pour away oil or move your fryer while the oil’s
hot.
●Never put the electrics unit in water. Remove it before washing the rest
of your fryer.

2Lift up the handle until it locks  and remove the basket.

to assemble and use

3Insert the basket, then lower the handle by sliding back the rise and fall
control . Close the lid.
4Use the cord storage at the back of the fryer to store any excess cord.
5Plug in and select the required temperature: which will appear in the
temperature window 
6The light goes out when the oil reaches the right temperature - start
frying. The light will come on and off as the fryer maintains the
temperature.
7When ready, raise the basket and allow the food to drain before
opening the lid.
●To re-use oil, allow to cool then remove the bowl and pour the oil
through fine muslin or absorbent paper.
●Always unplug the fryer after use.
hints ●We would recommend the use of a good quality oil for deep frying,
such as corn oil or groundnut oil. A good quality solid fat may also be
used. Other oils may be used if they are specifically recommended by
the manufacturer for deep frying. Never mix different oils or fat and do
not use olive oil, butter or margarine as they will smoke or bubble over.
●Pre-cooked food needs a higher temperature than raw food.
●Cook food thoroughly. The outside may look ready before the inside is
cooked.
●Keep your fryer with oil (cooled and strained) inside it, ready for use.
The lid keeps the dust out.
●Before frying battered food, drain off excess batter.
●To make chips, use old potatoes and cut them up evenly so they
cook evenly. Rinse and dry before frying.
●To prolong the life of your fryer, filter the oil after each use and change
it after 8 - 10 uses.

cleaning
●Never start cleaning until the oil has cooled down.
●Always unplug and remove the electrics unit before cleaning.
●Ensure everything’s completely dry before reassembling.
electrics unit ●Pull out, wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
●Never put it in water.
lid ●After each use, remove and soak in hot soapy water for 20 minutes.
basket ●After each use, remove and soak in hot soapy water for 20 minutes.
Then use a stiff brush.
bowl ●After each use, remove and soak in hot soapy water for 20 minutes.
Then use a non-abrasive cleaner.
fryer body ●Wash in hot soapy water.
●If you have a dishwasher everything - except the electrics unit -
is dishwasher-safe. Your dishwasher may darken the inside of the lid
and the outside of the bowl but they’ll still work perfectly. For baked on
oil, we recommend soaking the bowl prior to dishwashing.
