Breville recommends safety first

We at Breville are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with 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:

Read all instructions before operating this appliance and
save for future reference

• 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 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).

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

Note

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.

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

Note

6. Preheat the oil at the selected temperature until
the ‘Green’ temperature ready light illuminates.

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.

Note

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.

Uniform-sized pieces will cook more evenly.

Note

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.

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

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.
