If you are using the appliance for the first time, you should:
a. Open the lid and clean the fry basket & fry bowl thoroughly with hot water &
detergent with a non-abrasive sponge.
Notice: you can use a dishwasher to clean the fry basket & fry bowl;
b. Clean the inside and outside of the appliance with a wet cloth.
c. Use only metal utensils with insulated handles in hot oil
Make sure to remove any label or protective sheet which may prevent its proper
functioning.
DO NOT:
• switch the power on when there is no oil in the fry bowl;
• cover the appliance during functioning
• obstruct totally nor partially the filter system;
• insert objects or body parts inside the protection cover of the appliance;
• use the appliance near curtains or textiles;
• leave the appliance unsupervised during operation.
Plug and unplug the power cable with dry hands and hold it firmly. Always unplug
the power cable to avoid overheating and avoid stretching it (DO NOT pull it, tug it
or use it to drag the appliance to which is connected). Before unplugging the
appliance, switch it off, using the proper command on the control panel.
During operation, DO NOT touch the appliance with wet body parts, and it is
recommended to have between you and the standing surface, an isolating element
(for example, wearing shoes with rubber soles).
DO NOT soak the appliance in water or other liquids, wash it under the tap, or let
any liquid flow into the internal casing of the appliance to prevent electric shock. In
case of accidental fall in water, DO NOT try to take it out, but first of all unplug
immediately the power cable from the socket.
Place the appliance at a proper distance from the objects or surrounding walls
making sure that its functioning will not cause accidental damages. There should
be at least 10 cm of free space from the back, left & right sides, and the top of the
deep fryer. Never put things on top of the deep fryer, for this will prevent air flow
and reduce the effect of hot air heating.
Avoid placing the power cable on abrasive or sharp surfaces or in positions where it
can be damaged easily.
Always remember to unplug the power cable of the appliance if it is NOT used for a
long period, before storing, cleaning or performing any maintenance operation.
Avoid carrying out operations which are NOT specified in this manual (such as
disassembling and/or altering).
In case of malfunction or anomaly during the functioning, switch off the appliance
immediately, turn off the power and check the cause of the anomaly, if possible,
with the support of a qualified person.
The appliance shall NOT be placed on a surface or in the vicinity of objects which
can be damaged by heat, such as carpets or plastics. When using the deep fryer, the
surface that the deep fryer is placed upon may become very hot.

During the period of frying, high temperature steam may be emitted from the filter
system. One’s hands and face should be angled away from the steam as well as the
filter system.
DO NOT touch the inside of the deep fryer while it is operating. This is to prevent
scalding. The bottom of the fryer becomes exceedingly hot as the deep fryer
operates.
If smoke is observed coming out of the deep fryer, unplug the power cable
immediately. Remove the frying pan away from the deep fryer after it has stopped
smoking.
Before cleaning or storing the appliance, remove the fry basket from the deep fryer
(Caution: The fry bowl is very hot at this time!) and leave to cool for at least
30 minutes.
The deep fryer is limited to normal domestic usage. It should NOT be used in the
dining rooms of shops, office, farms or other working environments. And it should
not be used by customers in hotels, motels, guest houses or breakfast rooms, or
other accommodation environments without the use of a functioning kitchen.
DO NOT use or store the appliance outdoors. Store and use the appliance only
indoors, or in any case, protected from weathering such as rain, direct radiation of
the sun and dust.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and

Insert the plug into the grounded socket.
Use good quality solid fat or frying oil and pour into the fry bowl, between the
minimum & maximum marks as indicated on the fry bowl. You can use corn oil or
peanut oil, but avoid margarine, olive oil or butter. These are not recommended as
they have a lower smoking temperature.
When using solid fat, place less than 1 kg into the bowl to melt on the lowest
temperature setting.
Put the fry basket into the fry bowl (containing oil or fat) and close the lid.
Switch on the power and set the temperature taking into account the food to be
cooked. As a general guide, foods that have been pre-cooked in some way need a
higher temperature than raw food, i.e. potato croquettes made from pre-cooked
potato need higher temperature than raw bread dough.
Use only metal utensils with insulated handles in hot oil.
Care should be taken to cook foods thoroughly as the exterior may show signs of
turning golden brown before the interior is cooked.
When frying battered food, drain off excess batter, carefully place into the oil with
the basket already in the oil. Close lid and fry for the requested duration.
If you want to add more food during the frying, please ensure that the surface of
the food is dry. All foodstuffs, particularly potatoes and frozen food, have significant
moisture content which turns into steam and escapes through the filter lid.
Opening the lid fully in one swift movement will disperse the steam and prevent
burning.
Note: Always use old potatoes to make chips. Cut the potatoes into even-sized
chips, ensure that they are evenly cooked, rinse the potato chips and dry
thoroughly before adding into the deep fryer.
When cooking is complete, lift the fry basket from the oil and shake the basket over
the oil if necessary. Remove the basket and turn the contents onto absorbent paper
towels before serving (to absorb excess grease and retain crispness).
After completing the cooking of one batch of food, the deep fryer is ready to cook
another batch of food.
Switch off the power and remove the plug from the mains after your finish frying.
Remember that oil retains its temperature for a long while after use.
Note: If you wish to remove oil from the fry bowl, it is recommended that the
pouring lip be used to reduce spillage
To get the maximum out of your fryer, you can retain the cooled and strained oil
inside the fry bowl ready for the next frying session with the lid acting as a dust
cover.

Your deep fryer has a filter system comprising of deflectors, which collect drops of
oil from the steam as it passes through. After several cooking sessions the filter lid
should be removed from the fryer, plunged into hot sudsy water and left to soak for
5-10 minutes. It should then be rinsed thoroughly and dried.
To remove lid, lift to vertical position and remove with a straight pull upward.
Reverse the above sequence to replace.
As with any cooking vessel your fryer should be cleaned after every use.
After the oil has cooled, remove the fry bowl and pour out the oil. The oil should be
filtered through fine muslin or absorbent paper placed in a suitable funnel
(excessive discolor oil should be discarded).
The fry bowl should be wiped with absorbent paper, then with a damp cloth with
some detergent and finally with a dry cloth. Stubborn deposits can be removed by
using non-abrasive cleaners with a soft pad.
The strained oil may be stored either in the fryer or in an airtight container in a dark
cupboard. It is recommended that you discard the oil after about 10 times of use.
The outside and lid should be wiped with a damp cloth a dried thoroughly. In order
to keep your fry basket in good working order, it is recommended that it be
thoroughly cleaned in hot sudsy water after every.
