4. Select the temperature using the dial, as per the food you are cooking. The
cooking temperature guide below can be used for guidelines. Wait for the
selected temperature to be reached, the ‘Heating’ light will go off when the
temperature is reached.
5. Place the food for frying in the basket, and slowly lower the basket into the deep
fryer. It is best to use dry foods, as moist foods will make the oil splash out of the
deep fryer, which is hazardous.
6. Place the basket into the deep fryer using the basket handle only. The deep fryer
will maintain the selected temperature, and thus the ‘Heating’ light will go on and
off (cycle ON and OFF) as the product reheats the oil.
7. When the correct frying time has elapsed, slowly raise the basket out of the deep
fryer, allowing excess oil to drain off the food.
8. Switch/ turn the appliance to the “0” or “OFF” position.
9. Unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet.

FRYING TIPS
Use a maximum of 200grams of food per each litre of oil.
With frozen products, use only 100grams of food per each litre of oil, as the
food will cool the oil. Always remove excess ice from frozen foods before
frying.
Oil or fat can be reused after deep frying. Drain the oil to remove any food
particles and store in an airtight container. When the oil starts to discolour and
turn brown, it is time to throw it away and use fresh oil. The oil can last up to
10 uses, depending on the type and quality of oil.
Do not mix old and new oil.
