BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST cont’d

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 AND
SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

••

Always turn the appliance off, then turn
off at the power outlet and then unplug
cord before attempting to move the
appliance and before cleaning.

••

Do not immerse the appliance body,
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.

4

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).

••

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.

••

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
creating during the cooking process will
be released when the lid is opened.

••

Never pour oil out of the deep fryer when
both the unit and oil are hot. Allow both
the unit and contents to cool completely
before removing oil.

••

Always switch off then unplug the
appliance when not in use or storing.

••

Always ensure the heater element and
controller are correctly positioned onto
the bowl assembly before connecting to a
power outlet.

••

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.

••

Strictly follow cleaning and
care instructions.

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE DEEP FRYER

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE DEEP FRYER cont’d

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 (2.5 litres)
or exceed the maximum level mark
(3 litres).

3. Close the lid.

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

power outlet and turn the power ‘on’.
Turn the deep fryer temperature control
dial to the desired temperature. The red
power ‘On’ light will illuminate.

5. Preheat the oil at 190c until the ‘green’

temperature light illuminates. Then turn
the variable temperature control to the
desired temperature setting.

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

6. Once the oil has preheated, place the
basket into the deep fryer, in the holding
position, so it is raised above the oil, with
the basket handle in the extended
horizontal position (see fig 6).

Fig. 6

The basket handle must be
fully locked into place
before use.

7. Add food to the basket. Do not fill
the basket so that it is more than
two-thirds full.

Uniform-sized pieces will
cook more evenly.

8. Holding the fryer basket handle lift from
the holding position and gently lower the
basket into the oil.

9. When the food is cooked, turn on/off switch
to ‘Off’ then turn the power off at the
power outlet and unplug the power cord.

10. Raise the basket and place in holding
position for a few minutes to drain the oil
from the food, then serve (See fig 7).

Fig. 7

11. Allow the deep fryer to fully cool before
emptying the oil and cleaning the unit.

ALWAYS ADD THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF OIL BEFORE
SWITCHING THE POWER ‘ON’ AT THE POWER OUTLET.

DURING AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER COOKING, YOU MAY SEE STEAM RISING
THROUGH THE FILTER VENT OPENINGS IN THE LID. THIS IS NORMAL,
HOWEVER AVOID THIS AREA DURING COOKING TO PREVENT STEAM BURNS

POWER CORD NEEDS TO BE FULLY EXTENDED BEFORE USE.

NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM FILL LEVEL (3 LITRES).

8

AS THE STEAM WHICH 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.
