• 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

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

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

• 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

Operating Your Breville Avance™ Deep Fryer

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.

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.

COOL ZONE AREA

Deep Fryer continued

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

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.

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.
