Breville Recommends Safety First

At Breville we are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with
the safety of you, our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition we ask that you exercise
a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions.

• Always turn the appliance off, first turn off at the

power outlet and then unplug cord when not in use
before attempting to move the appliance, before
cleaning or storing.

• Do not immerse the appliance controller, supply cord

or plug in water or any other liquid.

• The appliance is not intended for use by young

children or infirm persons without supervision.

• Do not leave the appliance unattended when in use.

• Young children should be supervised to ensure that

they do not play with the appliance.

• Always use the appliance on a dry, level surface.

• Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces, become

knotted or hang from the edge of benchtops.

• Do not place this appliance on or near a hot gas or

electric burner, or where it could touch a heated oven.

• This appliance is for household use only. Do not use

this appliance for other than its intended use. Do not
use in moving vehicles or boats. Do not use outdoors.

• Regularly inspect the supply cord, plug and actual

appliance for any damage. If found damaged in any
way, immediately cease use of the appliance and
return the entire appliance to the nearest authorised
Breville Service Centre for examination, replacement
or repair.

• Keep the unit clear of walls, curtains and other heat

sensitive materials (minimum distance 200mm).

• Do not place unit under shelving or flammable

materials when in use.

• Always follow the maximum and minimum quantities

of oil stated in the instructions and recipes.

• Do not exceed the maximum fill level (3 litres). Never

overfill the bowl with oil.

• Extreme caution must be used when the appliance is

filled with hot oil. Always allow the appliance to cool
before removing the oil.

• Do not move the deep fryer during cooking or

whilst hot.

• When deep frying, ensure no water comes in contact

with hot oil as this will cause splattering. Ensure that
the deep fryer is dry before adding any oil.

• Never lean over the deep fryer when lifting the lid.

Excess trapped steam created during the cooking
process will be released when the lid is opened.

• Never pour oil out of the deep fryer when either the

unit or oil is hot. Allow both the unit and contents to
cool completely before removing oil.

• It is not recommended to add extra oil when hot as

splashing may occur.

• Always ensure the heater element and controller are

correctly positioned onto the bowl assembly and filled
to min/max before connecting to a power outlet.

• Do not use the deep fryer on metal surfaces, for

example, a sink drain board.

• At no time should the deep fryer be left unattended

when in use.

• Do not place anything on top of the deep fryer when

the lid is closed, when in use and when stored.

• The installation of a residual current device (safety

switch) is recommended to provide additional safety
protection when using electrical appliances. It is
advisable that a safety switch with a rated residual
operating current not exceeding 30mA be installed
in the electrical circuit supplying the appliance. See
your electrician for professional advice.

Operating Your Breville Avance™ Deep Fryer

POWER CORD NEEDS TO BE FULLY EXTENDED BEFORE USE.
ALWAYS ADD THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF OIL BEFORE SWITCHING THE POWER ON AT THE POWER OUTLET.

Before First Use

Remove all packaging materials and any promotional
labels from your deep fryer.

Wash the lid, removable bowl and wire frying basket in
hot soapy water and dry thoroughly. Wipe inside of the
bowl with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

1. Place the deep fryer on a dry, level surface. Ensure

the deep fryer is not too close to the edge of the
bench top, and that the power cord or basket
handle does not hang over the edge.

2. With the basket out of the deep fryer, add oil to the

bowl. Ensure not to add less than the minimum
level mark or exceed the maximum level mark
(3 litres).

NOTE

Important : NEVER exceed the maximum fill
level (3 litres).

3. Replace the lid.

4. Plug the power cord into a 230/240 volt power

outlet and turn on the power ‘On’ switch.

5. Turn the temperature control dial to the

desired temperature. The red ‘Power On‘ light
will illuminate.

NOTE

Your Avance™ Deep Fryer is fitted with a
special interlock switch and will not operate if
not properly assembled.

6. Preheat the oil at the selected temperature until the

‘Green’ temperature ready light illuminates.

NOTE

When cooking the first batch of food, allow
the deep fryer to cycle on and off twice (as
indicated by the green temperature ‘Ready’
light) before placing the food into the deep fryer.
This will take approximately 15-20 minutes.

7. When the oil has preheated, place the basket

into the deep fryer in the raised position, with the
basket handle in the extended horizontal position
(see fig 4).

Fig. 4

8. Add food to the basket. Do not fill the basket so that

it is more than two-thirds full.

9. Holding the fryer basket handle lift from the holding

position and gently lower the basket into the oil.

10. You may choose to cook with the lid on or off the

deep fryer.

NOTE

Uniform-sized pieces will cook more evenly.

Operating Your Breville Avance™ Deep Fryer continued

DURING AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER COOKING, YOU MAY SEE STEAM RISING THROUGH THE FILTER VENT
OPENINGS IN THE LID. THIS IS NORMAL, HOWEVER AVOID TOUCHING THIS AREA DURING COOKING TO
PREVENT STEAM BURNS AS THE STEAM THAT IS GENERATED IS AT A HIGH TEMPERATURE.
AS THE BASKET ITSELF GETS VERY HOT, ONLY USE THE HANDLE TO HOLD OR CARRY THE BASKET
FOR SERVING.

11. When the food is cooked, raise the basket out of the

oil to drain, then turn temperature control dial back
to 150°C then turn the power ‘Off’ with the power
switch, then unplug the power cord.

12. Keep the basket in the raised position for a

few minutes to drain the oil from the food
before serving.

13. If continuing to cook allow the unit to reheat until

the ‘Green’ temperature light illuminates.

14. Allow the deep fryer to fully cool before emptying

the oil or cleaning the unit.

Cool Zone Technology

COOL ZONE AREA

The submerged heating element system on the Avance™
Deep Fryer allows oil to be heated more effectively, and
respond quickly to oil temperature changes.

Oil below the heating element is cooler and allows
cooked foods including crumbs to sink to the bottom of
the enamel bowl and not cook any further, tainting the
oil taste.

This allows further cooking to take place without food
particles interfering or tainting the cooked result.

The Cool Zone Technology results in less need to
change the cooking oil. Used oil can be re-used more
times than in standard deep fryers.

Auto Cut-Out Reset Button

Always add the required amount of oil BEFORE
switching the power on at the power outlet. An Auto Cut
Out safety switch will be activated if the unit is turned
on without oil in the bowl.

To re-activate the unit, let the unit cool completely and
then reset by pushing the red button on the back of the
controller assembly above the cord storage.
