be changed by turning the SCROLL/SELECT
knob to CUSTOM and then changing either
the time or temperature or both. If the default
settings in custom mode are changed, the
deep fryer will remember the last settings
that have been selected, even after being
unplugged.
NOTE
If using the lid during and immediately after
cooking, steam may rise through the lter
vent openings in the lid.This is normal,
however avoid touching this area during
cooking to prevent steam burns as the steam
generated is at a high temperature.
As the basket gets very hot, only use the
handle to hold or carry the basket for serving.
Ensure the basket handle is locked into
position.
Solid oil products, such as butter, margarine
or animal fats of any kind should not be used
in the deep fryer as they may overheat and
cause a re hazard.

11
Water and oil do not mix – never add any
water or other liquid to hot oil. Even small
amounts of water will cause the oil to splatter.
The deep fryer will generate a lot of heat and
steam during and after the cooking process.
To prevent the risk of burns, do not touch or
block the steam ventilation area on the lid.
Extreme caution must be used when the
deep fryer is lled with hot oil or other liquid.
Do not move the deep fryer during cooking
and allow it to cool before removing oil.
Tips
Foods should be crisp when deep fried.
If results are soggy, the oil isn’t hot enough.
This can be attributed to one or more of
the following:
• Not enough preheating time.
• Temperature too low.
• Too much food in the basket
(do not ll more than two thirds full).
• Do not use solid frying oil, only use liquid
oils.
Use good quality liquid oil. For best results,
use the below recommended oils.
NOTE
We don't recommend cooking more that 1kg
of food at a time.
The most suitable oils for
deep frying include:
All oils have dierent smoke points. Smoke
points are the point at which the fat begins to
break down into visible gaseous products.
• The smoke point of dierent fats is
determined by the free fatty acid content
of the fat. Generally, the lower the free
fatty acid content the more stable the
fat and the higher the smoke point.
• Free fatty acid levels are generally
lower in rened vegetable oils with a
smoke point of around 230°C.Where
as animal fats are around 190°C.
• The smoke point of a deep-frying
fat is lowered every time it is used.
Food particles are always left
behind after cooking.This will also
lower the smoke point of the fat.
• Olive oil is not recommended
or deep frying due to its low
smoke-point temperature.
• Suitable oils for deep frying include:
Peanut oil, Vegetable oil, Canola oil,
Saower oil and Rice Bran oil.
Peanut Oil
Peanut oil is obtained from the kernels
of the ground nut or peanut. It has a
delicate avour, nutty odour and has a
high smoke point. Peanut oil is high in
mono-unsaturated oil and Vitamin E.
Vegetable Oil
A general term that refers to a blend
of oils extracted from various seeds and
fruits.Vegetable oil has a very mild flavour
and aroma. It is low in cholesterol and
saturated fats.
Canola Oil
Made from seeds of the canola plant.
It is relatively low in saturated fats, contains
Omega 3 fatty acids and has a bland,
neutral flavour.
SaowerOil
The oil is extracted from the seeds of the
sunower plant. It is pale yellow in colour
with virtually no avour. Sunower oil is
high in polyunsaturated fats and low in
saturated fats.
Rice Bran Oil
The oil is extracted from the germ and husk
of rice. It has a mild, nutty avour and high
smoke point. It is high in vitamin E and
antioxidants.
NOTE
Do not overll the basket. Large quantities
of food may cause the oil to bubble and
overow. Small batches of food cook much
better and make operation of the deep fryer
safer.

12
Method for the perfect chips
1. Select any of the following oils: peanut oil,
rice bran oil, sunower oil, vegetable oil.
2. Use a oury unwashed potato such
as Sebago or King Edward. Using the
freshest potatoes will give the best results.
3. Wash and peel potatoes.
4. Cut into 1cm thick chips and place into a
large bowl. Cover with cold water & soak
for 30 minutes.
5. When ready to use, drain and dry
thoroughly with paper towel or a clean
teatowel. It is important to dry the chips
thoroughly as water and oil do not mix -
even contact with small amounts of water
can cause the oil to spatter.
6. Fill deepfryer with 4 litres of oil.
7. Set deepfryer to TWICE FRY CHIPS/
FRESH setting.
8. Select 1ST FRY and press the START/
CANCEL button to PREHEAT the oil.
9. Cook up to 1kg batch of chips at a time.
10.Place chips into basket and lower into hot
oil. Press TIMER button. Cook until the
alarm sound signals end of cooking cycle.
11.Remove chips from oil and drain on a tray
lined with paper towel to cool slightly.
12.Continue this method until all the potatoes
have been through the 1ST FRY.
13.Alternatively, to continue cooking
chips directly onto 2ND FRY, leave
blanched chips in basket and drain on
basket hook.
14.Select TWICE FRY CHIPS/FRESH
setting and choose 2ND FRY. Press
START/CANCEL button to PREHEAT the
oil and continue as below.
15.Place chips into basket and lower into hot
oil. Press TIMER button. Cook until the
alarm sound signals end of cooking cycle.
16.Remove chips from basket and drain onto
a tray lined with paper towel.
17.Season with sea salt and serve
immediately.
NOTE
Twice fried chips temperatures are based
on 1kg load of fresh hand cut potato chips.
Types of potatoes that make the most
succulent chips include the following:
Bintje, Kennebec, Red rascal, Sebago,
Russet, King Edward.
When should I change the oil?
What should I look for?
It is recommended to change the oil every
week if deep fryer is used every day.
If using once or twice a week, the oil can be
changed every three weeks.
There are distinct indicators that will show
you when your oil is no longer deep frying
eectively. These include:
• The surface of the oil will begin
to foam once heated.
• Smoke will appear on the surface of
the oil before the recommended deep
frying temperatures are reached.
• Oils can develop an ‘o’ smell. This
indicates that the oil has become rancid.
• The oil’s odour is that of the foods
you have cooked eg. seafood.
• The oil will change in viscosity, that
is, it will pour slowly and become
thick with a syrupy appearance.
Storage and preparation of used oil
Re-using your oil is best achieved if proper
methods are used after and during cooking.
1. Never season or salt food before or during
cooking as it will burn and discolour the
oil.This in turn shortens the lifespan of
your oil.
2. Cool oil completely before pouring
through a coee lter or cloth to remove
food solids and debris.
3. Store in a sealed container either in the
refrigerator or in a cool dark cupboard.
4. Repeat the ltering and cleaning
process after each use.
5. Properly dispose of old used oil according
to council requirements.
