The basket in
your fryer can be
raised or lowered
with the lid open or
closed. To do this, lift
up the handle until it
clicks into the
horizontal position.
The basket is now
raised. Open the lid
fully to remove the
basket B. When
cooking make sure that you shake excess oil or fat
from your food into the tank before removing the
basket.
FFiilllliinnggwwiitthhooiill
We recommend
you use corn,
groundnut, vegetable
or rapeseed oil. Use
a good quality solid
fat if you prefer but
remember never to
mix your oils or fats.
1Pour your oil into the fryer until it reaches the
maximum level indicated in the tank C
(approximately 2.2 litres of oil). Alternatively
melt solid fat gently in a separate pan before
transferring to the tank (approximately 1.8kg of
solid fat or solid oil).
2Lightly smear the inside of the viewing window
with either cold oil or fat to inhibit any
condensation that may occur, so that you can
watch your food while it cooks.
3Replace the basket and lower into the oil by
pressing the lid release button and returning the
handle to the recessed position.
4Close the lid of
the fryer by
pressing down at
both sides of the
lid, this prevents
steam
escaping D.
5Plug the fryer into
the mains socket
and switch on.
DO NOT CONNECT THE FRYER TO THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY IF THERE IS NO OIL
OR FAT IN THE TANK.
6On models with timer, rotate the dial to 30
minutes. This will switch on the fryer and allow
the oil to heat up G. On models with on/off
switch, switch to on position. The power on
light „will light.
7Now set the variable thermostat Â(if fitted)
to the required temperature E. A cooking

After approximately 15 minutes, the oil is
at the right temperature and cooking results will be
all the better. The light indicator ‰ may come on
and go out once or twice with thermostat changes.
DDuurriinnggffrryyiinngg
The indicator light ‰may come on and go out

maintained.
There are two methods of cooking in your
fryer; one general method for most food stuffs and
another for home-battered products.
GGeenneerraallccooookkiinnggmmeetthhoodd
1When the correct temperature for cooking has
been reached, raise the basket and lock it into
its raised position. Open the lid of the fryer and
place the food to be cooked, which should be
as dry as possible, into the raised basket of your
fryer. THE BASKET SHOULD ALWAYS BE IN
THE RAISED POSITION WHEN IT IS TO BE
FILLED WITH FOOD.
2Close the lid and lower the basket into the oil
or fat.
3Check the progress of your food during cooking
by raising the basket and using the safety
viewing window to make sure that your food is
brown enough.
4When your food is cooked, raise the basket and
WAIT A FEW SECONDS before opening
the lid as this allows the steam pressure to
subside. However, care should still be taken
when opening the lid, as some steam may still
be released.
CCooookkiinngghhoommee--bbaatttteerreeddffooooddss
This method allows for the fact that if wet
batter is placed in the basket prior to cooking, the
food may stick. This method of cooking requires
extreme care.
1Ensure that the correct temperature has been
reached (approximately 15 minutes pre-
heating). Leaving the basket in the down
position, open the lid of the fryer.
2Coat the raw food in the batter and allow to
drain slightly to get rid of excess coating. Very
carefully and slowly, lower the coated
food into the hot oil, using a suitable
implement or tongs. This allows the batter
to become solid and prevents it sealing to the
mesh of the basket.
Remember to take care as the oil may
spit as the food is added.
3Close the lid and allow the food to cook.
You may now follow the instructions as given in
‘general cooking method’, using the rise & fall
basket.
AFTER USE, DISCONNECT YOUR FRYER
FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BY
REMOVING THE PLUG FROM THE WALL
SOCKET.
TTiimmeerr
Some models
have a built-in timer.
To obtain the best
results, use the timer
in conjunction with
the cooking chart in
the last section of these instructions.
The timer F should be set and started before
the fryer basket and food are lowered into the hot
oil.
1Turn the timer knob to the desired time (after
the oil has preheated to the selected
temperature).
2At the end of the selected time, the in-built bell
will sound.
3If you need more frying time after the set time
has elapsed, turn the dial to 10 minutes and
check the frying process until the food is
cooked. Turn the timer to the OFF position.

• Always ensure that you use a good quality lard
or oil for deep frying. Corn, groundnut,
vegetable or rapeseed oil are ideal. Do not use
margarine, butter or olive oil.
• Take into account the food to be cooked
before you select your frying temperature. As a
general guide precooked foods need a higher
cooking temperature than raw foods.
• Select your cooking utensils with care. Do not
use utensils which may melt. Metal utensils
become hot and should, therefore, have
insulated handles. When using metal utensils
TAKE CARE NOT TO DAMAGE THE
SPECIAL NON-STICK COATING IN THE
TANK.
• Do not use your fryer under wall mounted
cupboards which could prevent you opening
the lid fully.
• Cook your food thoroughly. Remember that
your food may begin to turn golden brown
before it is cooked through.
• Your fryer will always be ready for use if you
store cooled and filtered oil inside, with the lid
closed.
• All foodstuffs, particularly frozen food and
potatoes, contain moisture. When lowered into
the hot oil or fat the water in the food turns
into steam. Most of the steam escapes through
the filter in the lid. The steam which is trapped
escapes when you open the lid of your fryer -
SO CARE IS NEEDED.
• Do not lean over the fryer when pressing the
lid release button as the lid mechanism causes
the lid to spring open.
• Old potatoes are ideal for making chips. Your
chips should be evenly sized so that they cook
evenly and should be rinsed and dried before
they are fried.

CLEANING SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED
OUT WHEN THE FRYER IS SWITCHED
OFF AND THE PLUG IS REMOVED
FROM THE SOCKET. YOUR FRYER
SHOULD HAVE COMPLETELY COOLED.
ALWAYS REMOVE THE CHARCOAL
FILTER BEFORE CLEANING THE LID
(certain models only).
RReeppllaacceeaabblleecchhaarrccooaallffiilltteerr
Your fryer is fitted with a white anti-grease filter
which collects grease from passing steam and a
black charcoal filter to reduce odours. The filters
can be used approximately 12 times before
replacement, depending upon the quantity of food
fried each time.
Replace the filters as follows.
1Remove the plug from the mains socket
2Unclip and lift out the filter panel from the top
of the fryer and remove both the black and
white filters and
dispose of them.
3Insert the new
filters, white
down, black up,
into the filter
recess.
4Replace the filter
lid onto the top
of the fryer.

When the oil has completely cooled, the non-
stick coated tank can be cleaned as follows.
PLEASE FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS
CAREFULLY.
1Remove the lid as described above and then
remove the basket.
2To empty the fryer, pour the oil out through
the pouring lip area and filter through fine
muslin or absorbent paper placed in a suitable
funnel J.
3The inside of the tank can be washed by hand
with hot soapy water but make sure that you
do not damage the special non-stick interior by
using abrasives or sharp instruments.
Note: If solid fat
is used for cooking,
the basket should be
removed when
cooking is completed
and washed
separately. The fryer
should then be
allowed to cool
COMPLETELY
before removing the
majority of the solid
fat with a plastic
spatula or spoon.
(We recommend
the use of plastic
utensils to prevent
damaging the non-
stick lining of the
tank). The tank can
then be washed.
4Dry the tank
thoroughly.
You may store
your filtered oil in
the fryer if you make
sure that it is
covered by the lid.
Your oil should be replaced after about
10 cooking sessions and this is usually an
ideal opportunity to clean the tank
thoroughly.
TThheeffrryyeerrbbooddyy
The exterior should only be cleaned by wiping
with a hot damp cloth. and then thoroughly dried.
NEVER IMMERSE THE BODY OF YOUR
