17. It is forbidden to place the lid on the deep fat fryer when it is in

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

Some appliances are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug
will fit into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
properly fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit,
contact a competent qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify
the plug in any way.
For appliances equipped with a standard plug, simply insert the plug
into the outlet without paying attention to the way you plug it.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. Do not
use the appliance with an extension cord.

BEFORE USE

• Remove all packaging from the unit.

• Remove the lid, basket, handle and any accessory form the

appliance.

• Before you use the deep fat fryer for the first time, we
recommend that you clean the lid, bowl, basket, handle and
housing of the deep fat fryer with warm soapy water with a soft
cloth.

• Attach the handle to the basket by sliding it upwards in the
support that is inside the basket. Pay attention to slide the handle

4

USK FT 4 - 071218

until you hear a click. It means that the handle is correctly placed
in the basket.

FIRST USE

• When using the appliance for the first time, pour the required
amount of oil in the bowl, making sure that the level is between
the MIN and MAX marks indicated inside the bowl.

• We recommend that you use a liquid oil that is suitable for deep
fat frying. Check the label on the bottle. If you wish to use a solid
fat, cut the fat in small pieces. Plug it into an electrical outlet. Put
the thermostat on the minimum position and add the fat pieces
slowly. When the fat has melted, set the thermostat to the desired
temperature. WARNING: FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS WILL DAMAGE

YOUR DEEP FAT FRYER.

USE

• Place the lid on the deep fat fryer, plug it into an electrical outlet.
The red pilot light turns on.

• Set the thermostat to the desired temperature. The yellow pilot
light will illuminate. As soon as the desired temperature is
reached, the pilot light will go out. When the temperature falls,
the thermostat will be activated again, and the pilot light will
illuminate. It will go out again as soon as the temperature is
reached.

• When the fryer has reached the desired temperature, remove the
lid and take out the basket with the handle. Place the food slowly
into the basket to avoid splashes.

5

USK FT 4 - 071218

• Lower the basket slowly into the fryer. We advise you not to put
the lid during cooking.

• When the food is ready, lift out the basket, make it rest at an
angle on the lip of the bowl with the hook situated in front of the
handle and allow the food to drain.

• Warning: Show care when removing the lid as hot steam may be
emitted.

• Ensure the food is thoroughly cooked inside and out.

• Your deep fat fryer does not have an ON/OFF switch. After use,

turn the thermostat to its minimum position and unplug the
appliance and let its lid open to accelerate the cooling. Never
move the appliance as long as the oil or fat is still hot.

FOR BEST RESULTS

• Always dry food well before frying. Very ‘wet’ food can cause the
oil to ‘foam’ and may overflow.

• Food for frying should be roughly of the same size to ensure the
food cooks evenly and thoroughly.

• Many types of food may need to be coated before frying -
typical coatings are batter or breadcrumbs.

• Always wait until the fryer has reached the desired temperature
and the light has gone out, before adding the food.

• Do not overfill the basket.

RECIPES

Fresh Chips

• Fresh chips are best fried in two stages.

• Use ‘old’ potatoes (not ‘new’ potatoes). Cut the potatoes into

equal sizes. Rinse the chipped potatoes under running water to
reduce the starch level. Dry thoroughly and separate the pieces.

• Do not exceed the recommended weight. When the
temperature has reached 355°F, place the chips in the basket,
close the lid and slowly lower the basket into the oil

• For 200g of chips, fry for +/- 5 minutes on 355°F then raise the
basket. Do not open the lid.

6

USK FT 4 - 071218

• Wait until the temperature light goes out again, lower the basket
and fry for a further 2 minutes.

• Raise the basket and let the chips drain.

• For best results, before serving gently dab the chips with

absorbent paper to remove excess oil.

• Frying times may vary slightly on the type of potatoes used and
the thickness of the chips.

Onion Rings

• Frying temperature - 355° F for 4 to 5 minutes

• Peel the onions and slice. Separate the slices into rings

• Dip the rings into a bowl of seasoned milk

• Then dust the rings in plain flour

• Place the rings separately in the frying basket and fry a few at a

time.

Breaded Mushrooms

• Frying temperature - 350° F for 4 to 5 minutes

• Beat 1 egg and dip the mushrooms into the egg

• Then coat the mushrooms with breadcrumbs

• Place separately into the frying basket and fry a few at a time.

Goujons of Sole

• Frying temperature - 320° F for 3-4 minutes

• Cut the sole fillet into small strips. Coat the strips in some seasoned

plain flour

• Then dip the strips into beaten egg and coat with breadcrumbs.

• Place separately into the frying basket and fry a few at a time.

CLEANING

• Caution: never immerse the appliance in water or any other
liquid.

• Unplug the deep fat fryer and wait until the unit is completely
cool before cleaning. Do not use strong detergents or abrasive
clothes/liquid, as this will damage the deep fat fryer.

• When changing the oil - take this opportunity to clean the interior
of the bowl. Pour the oil from the bowl and dry the interior of the
bowl with absorbent paper. Then wipe the interior of the bowl in
warm soapy water. Attention: given the electronic unit under the
appliance, never immerse the item entirely in water. Dry
thoroughly.

• Change the oil regularly. Pour out the old oil from the bowl and
dispose of oil thoughtfully.

• Clean your deep fat fryer regularly. This will prolong the life of your
deep fat fryer.

STORING

• Wait until the deep fat fryer is completely cool before storing.

• The unit can be stored with the oil inside. Ensure the lid is tightly

closed to avoid dust getting into the oil.

GUARDE ESTAS INSTRUCCIONES

INFORMACIÓN SOBRE EL ENCHUFE POLARIZADO

Algunos aparatos están provistos con un enchufe polarizado (una
pata es más ancha que la otra). Para reducir el riesgo de choque
eléctrico, este enchufe calza en el tomacorriente polarizado de una
sola manera. Si el enchufe no cabe totalmente en el tomacorriente,
gire el enchufe. Si aún así no calza, consulte a un servicio técnico
cualificado. No intente anular esta característica de seguridad.
Para los aparatos provistos con un enchufe clásico, basta con
insertar el enchufe en la toma de corriente.

INSTRUCCIONES DEL CABLE

El cable de alimentación del aparato es un cable corto a fin de
disminuir el riesgo de accidentes (caídas al tropezar con él, etc.).
No utilice el aparato con un alargador.
