sed service facility for examination, repair or

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Before rst use
Clean all parts to remove any dust or
manufacturing residues. Remove all printed
documents. Check that there is no packing
around or under the frying basket or fryer.
Wipe the interior and exterior of the main body
and the lid with a damp cloth. Moisten a cloth,
add a drop of oil, and wipe the viewing window
to prevent condensation. Dry thoroughly
(see Cleaning for instructions). Never use the
fryer without oil or fat as it will be severely
damaged if heated dry. This fryer has a thermal
safety device which will automatically cut out
the electrical circuit in case of failure, thus
preventing overheating.
Frying
1 Pour 2 - 2.5L of oil into the frying bowl
up to the MAX mark indicated on the inside
of the bowl. Do not ll above the MAX mark
or below the MIN mark. Always ensure that
you use good quality oil for deep frying. We
recommend corn, groundnut, rapeseed or
vegetable oils. Do not use margarine, butter
or olive oil.
2 Plug your fryer into a suitable mains supply
and switch the socket on. Adjust the tempe-
rature switch to the desired temperature
(refer to the cooking guide on page 5).
3 When the oil reaches cooking temperature
the indicator light will switch o. Do not
add food until the temperature is correct.
4 Place the food into the frying basket
. To ensure that food is cooked evenly, it
should be cut in uniform pieces, and as dry
as possible. Wet food or water added to
hot oil can cause the oil to splatter. Do not
overload the basket as this could lower the
oil temperature causing the food to absorb
the oil.
5 Place the basket into the frying bowl press
the basket release button to push the
handle downandlowerthefryingbasket
into the hot oil. Now you can close the lid .
WARNING: oil may spit as food is added.

After frying
1 Lift the handle to raise the frying basket
to its highest position and allow the food
to drain. Open the lid by pressing the
lid release button . Beware of spitting oil
and rising steam as you open the lid.
2 Place the cooked food in a dish lined with
kitchen paper to help remove any excess oil.
3 Turn the temperature switch o and
unplug the fryer at the mains. Allow the oil to
cool for 2 hours before moving or cleaning.
We recommend that once the oil has cool-
ed completely, it is best to remove the oil
from your fryer and to clean the appliance
before storing.
Cleaning
Always unplug your fryer and allow the oil and
appliance to cool completely before cleaning it.
1 Remove the lid , the frying basket and
the frying bowl . Remove the lter cover
on top of the lid and the lter (replace if
necessary).
2 Wash the lid , the frying basket and
the frying bowl in hot soapy water or
dishwasher.
3 Dry all parts of your fryer thoroughly. Place
the frying bowl and the frying basket
into the fryer body . Open the lter cover
on top of the lid and replace or wash
the lter then place the lid back on the
fryer body . The lid and lter are machine
washable.
4 Wipe over the control panel and body
with a clean, slightly damp cloth and dry tho-
roughly. Never immerse the control panel
in water or any part of the fryer body or
mains cable.
5 Put all parts back into the fryer and close
the lid. Wind up the cord. Store the fryer in
a dry place.
Removing oil from your fryer
Change the oil if it starts foaming when it is
heated, when it has a strong smell or taste, or
when it turns dark.
1 Using a slotted spoon, skim o any food
scraps oating on the surface of the oil.
2 Pour used and cooled oil into a plastic
bottle using a funnel. The oil can now
either be stored for reuse, or discarded
safely.
3 Always dispose the oil in an environmentally
safe way. Never pour the oil into drains.
Contact your recycling centre for advice on the
disposal of the oil.
Useful tips
1 Do not overload the frying basket as it may
cause a drop in the oil temperature that
may leave the food greasy or undercooked.
2 Select your cooking utensils with care.
Do not use utensils that may melt. Metal
utensils become hot and therefore should
have insulated handles. Take care when
using metal utensils, as not to damage the
heating element.
3 Smaller pieces of food will fry faster than
larger ones. It may be necessary to fry lar-
ger pieces longer on a lower heat to avoid
the food being cooked on the outside but
not in the middle.
4 To avoid battered or coated food sticking
to the frying basket, use a slotted spoon
to lift the food away from the frying basket
mesh.
5 To fry foods evenly, stir or turn the food
with suitable utensils, or move the basket
gently during frying.
6 Never use the same oil longer than 6
months and always follow instructions on
the package.
7 All food items, particularly frozen food and
potatoes, contain moisture. When lowered
into the hot oil, the water in the food turns
to steam and escapes.
8 Your fryer will always be ready to use if you
store cooled and ltered oil inside, with
the lid in place.
9 Your fryer has a maximum capacity for
food, depending on the type of food. As
a guide do not ll the frying basket more
than half full.
