IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS (cont'd)

WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce

the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from
entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or
extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer
detachable power-supply extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and:

2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS

1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.

2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.

3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.

found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord replaced.
Please return it to an authorized service representative.

5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on
the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF
APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against risk of electric shock, connect to

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.

Operating Instructions

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using fryer for first time, wash pot and basket thoroughly with warm, soapy
water, carefully dry iron pot to maintain the good aesthetic appearance.
Do not use fryer without oil or fat. Fryer will be severely damaged if heated dry.
This fryer has a thermal safety device. In case of thermostat failure, the electrical
circuit has an automatic cut-out, thus preventing overheating.
Should the fryer leak, please contact the store where you bought it. To ensure safe
operation, excessive food or utensils must not be inserted into the fryer.

HOW TO USE

1. Unfold the wire mesh basket handle, squeeze the tines of the handle together and
allow fitting into the basket bracket.

2. Pour between 0.8-1.0 liters of oil into the fryer. The level of oil must be between the
two marks marked, MAX & MIN on the wall of the vessel.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING: Always ensure the correct amount of oil is in the fryer
before switching the power on. The heating element will become overheated and the
risk of oil fire if you do not follow this instruction.

3. Plug into power outlet and set thermostat to the required temperature (see the
Frying Times Reference Menu on page 7). The power indicator will to out when the
set temperature is reached. The POWER INDICATOR will light automatically while
the temperatures keep rising and go out when the set temperature is reached. The
heating element is thermostatically controlled and has to switch on and off (light on
and off) automatically during the cooking process to maintain the desired cooking
temperature.

4. Add the food (as dry as possible) into the basket first. IMPORTANT: Too many pieces
lower the oil temperature causing food to absorb oil and/or cook improperly. Place
uniform sized pieces of food into the basket so that they will cook evenly. Be sure to
dry all foods before frying.

5. Place the basket back into the fryer.

6. After the cooking time has elapsed, lift the basket out of the oil to drain.

NOTE: Use only a good quality vegetable oil or all purpose shortening for deep frying.
Deep frying foods in butter, margarine, olive oil or animal fat are not recommended
because of lower smoking temperatures.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING: Escaping steam may cause burns to hands or fingers.
Open lid carefully. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious burns as
hot oil may spill from fryer.

User Maintenance

CLEANING YOUR FRYER

1. The power supply must be disconnected before cleaning.

2. Cool the oil completely. Oil or fat retains its temperature for a long while after

use. Do not attempt to move or carry the fryer while it is still hot.

3. Oil can be reused several times. Get the maximum use from your fryer by

always having it ready for use. One way of doing this is to keep the cooled and
strained.

4. Oil should be filtered after each use.

5. After draining the oil, the fryer should be wiped out with absorbent paper then

with a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid and finally with a dry cloth.
The interior of the fryer has a plain aluminum surface. To avoid damage, no
abrasives or sharp instruments should be used.

6. The exterior should be cleaned with a damp cloth, never use abrasives

or scouring pads.

7. The basket can be washed in warm soapy water.

8. Clean the lid to ensure the ventilation vents are not blocked or clogged

by oils or solid fats.

Helpful Tips

1. Use only metal kitchen utensils with insulated handles in hot oil.

2. As is usual practice care-should be exercised when frying, especially when
children are close by.

3. Select the temperature for frying taking into account the food to be cooked. As

a general guide, foods that have been pre-cooked in some way need a higher
temperature and less cooking time than those foods which are completely raw.

4. Caution: Always add the required amount of oil to the deep fryer BEFORE
switching the power on at the power point.

5. Warning: Do not exceed the maximum mark with oil. This product must be filled
with oil to the correct marked level.

6. The product will be severely damaged if heated dry.

7. Solid oil products, such as butter, margarine or animal fats of any kind should
not be used in the deep fryer as they increase the chance of a fire hazard.

8. Water and oil do not mix – never add any water or other liquid to hot oil. Even
small amounts of water will cause the oil to splatter.

9. Do not use with extension cords. Serious hot oils burns may result from a deep

fryer being pulled off a bench top. Do not allow the cord to hang off the edge of
the bench top where it may be grabbed by children, or become entangled by the
user. Never leave the deep fryer unattended whilst in use.

10. The deep fryer will generate a lot of heat and steam during and after the

cooking. To prevent the risk of burns, do not touch or block the steam
ventilation area on the lid.

11. Take care when opening the lid. This product generates heat and steam at a

high temperature, which will escape immediately when the lid is opened.
Avoid touching hot surfaces.

12. Extreme caution must be used when moving a product containing hot oil,

other hot liquids or hot foods of any types.
