Getting the best from your fryer

Oil

• .Always ensiure diat you use good quality oil for deep frying. We recommend
liquid vegetable dls. alternatively use corn, groundnut or rapeseed oil. Avoid
mixing oils of different types and quality.

• Solid fat (lard) and solid oil can be used, this should be melted in a pan first
until softened, dieii carefully transferred into die fryer bowl.

• Change die oil when it becomes brown or doudy in color,

Cooking

• Food must always be completely dry in order to avoid overflowing. This will also
prolong tlie use of tlie oil and give a crisper finish to tlie food.

• As a general guide raw foods need a higher coolUng temperatiure tlian pre-cooked
foods.

• Do not overload the basket (s) as it may cause a drop of temperature tliat may
leave die food greasy

• Cook vour food dioroughly Remember that yoiu: food may begin to tiu’n golden
brow'll before it is cooked dirough.

• Ai'oid leasing food to drain for too long in die basket as die food may become soft
and lose its crunchiness.

• Select your cooking utensils widi care. Do not use utensils diat may melt Metal

utensils become hot and dierefore should hase insulated handles. Wlien using

metal utensils, take care not to damage die non-stick coadng of die bowl.

• All foods contain moisture. Wlien lowered into die hot oil die water turns to
steam. Use caudon when opening die lid. as trapped steam will be vervhot.

IMPORTANT: Never fill the basket more than VI to 2/3 lull of food(1/4
to 1/2 is best), since this will cause the temperature of the oil to
decrease below the optimal frying temperature and result in foods
that are not as light or crispy as they can be.

French fries

• Old potatoes are ideal for making french fries. Your french fries should be eienly
sized so diat diey cook ei'enly They should be rinsed in a colander under a cold

tap and dried using a kitchen towel or absorben t paper. For best results fry your
french fries for 10-12 minutes; shaking die basketat intenals to ensure french
fries get an overall browning.

• For bestresults. we recommend no more dian 900g/31oz of frozen french fries
or 1200g/42oz of fresh fr'ench fries are fried.

Filter removal and replacemen t

The lid is fitted widi a replaceable chai’ccal and grease filter which ccilects oil
from passing steam. The filter can be used for about 15 frying sessions, it must be
changed to maintain die effectiveness of die odor filter system.

1. Lift die filter panel from die lid by pressing die tab and lifting upwards, remove
die black charcoal and white cotton filter and discard.

2. Insert the new white grease filter first dieii die black charcoal filter, replace die
