IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
- Read this instruction manual carefully before using the appliance and keep it for future
reference.
- Ensure that the voltage on the rating label corresponds with the wall socket
voltage before inserting the plug.
- Position the appliance on an even, stable, flat surface, which can withstand high
temperatures, away from other heat sources and possible water splashes.
- Keep the appliance away from flammable material such as textiles, cardboard or paper, etc.
- Do not insert the plug into the wall socket if there is no cooking oil inside the container.
- Adhere to the “MAX” and “MIN” levels (Fig. 1).
- Do not use the appliance if the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
- Connect the appliance to an earthed wall socket.
- Do not allow the power supply cord to hang over an edge or to come into contact with
sharp, rough or hot surfaces.
- To remove the plug from the wall socket, switch off the appliance first, then remove the
plug from the wall socket. Do not pull on the power supply cord to remove the plug
from the wall socket.
- Never try to carry or pull the appliance using the power supply cord.
- Remove the plug from the wall socket when not in use and before undertaking any
cleaning task.
- Allow the appliance to cool down before undertaking any cleaning task.
- Never touch the plug, power supply cord or the appliance with wet hands.
- This appliance is for household use only, not industrial or professional use.
- 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 the use of the appliance by
a person responsible for their safety.
- Never leave the appliance unattended while in use and keep out of the reach of
children as this is an electrical appliance that heats oil to high temperatures and may
cause serious burns.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
- If using fat instead of cooking oil, this must be melted beforehand in a separate
container. Ensure that you adhere to the “Min“ and ”Max” levels.
- If the fat has hardened in the fryer, create holes in the solidified fat to allow any excess
water to be released as steam when heating at the minimum thermostat temperature.
- Do not move the appliance whilst in operation or if the oil is still hot. When the fryer is
cold, carry it by the handles (Fig. 2).
- If, for some reason, the oil were to ignite, remove the plug from the wall socket and
extinguish the fire by closing the lid.
NEVER USE WATER TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE.
- When the thermostat control dial is on the minimum setting, the appliance is still on.
- Do not use or store the appliance outdoors.
- In the event of overheating, the thermal safety mechanism will be activated and the fryer
will stop operating. To restart the appliance, remove the plug from the wall socket &
allow the element to cool down completely before switching it on again.
- Do not use this appliance and its accessories for any other purpose or application other
than those described in this manual or by the manufacturer.
- Any inappropriate use or non-compliance with the operating instructions renders the
warranty and the manufacturer’s liability null and void.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
- Open the cover.
- Remove the basket and attach the handle by pivoting until the rods engage in the
housing (Fig. 3).
- Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the basket and bowl with soapy
water, rinse well to remove any soap and then dry.
- Pour oil up to the mark indicating the “MAX” level on the bowl (Fig. 1).
- Insert the plug into the wall socket.
- Select the required frying temperature using the thermostat control dial.
- The red pilot light will switch on to indicate that the oil is being heated (electricity is
saved by closing the lid as this will allow the oil to heat up quicker).
- Prepare the food to be fried and place it in the basket. Ensure that the basket is only
filled to 3/4 of its capacity.
- Allow the food to drain before placing it in the basket.
- If the food is frozen, the food should be defrosted. The frying of frozen food or food with
significant water content can cause the oil to suddenly splash when submerging the
basket in the oil container.
- The pilot light will switch off to indicate that the oil has reached the correct temperature.
During the frying process, the pilot will switch on and off to maintain the selected
temperature.
- Slowly submerge the basket in the oil container to avoid overflowing and splashing. Fry
with the lid open or closed, as desired.
- When the food has been fried sufficiently, remove the basket from the oil container and
position it on the support clip, to allow the excess oil to drain from the food (Fig. 4).
- Empty the basket.
- Change the oil after approximately 3 - 5 frying cycles, or when the oil starts to turn dark.
When re-using oil make sure that it has been strained to remove any food particles.
ALWAYS EXCERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN COOKING WITH A DEEP FAT
FRYER AND WHEN USING HOT OIL.
AFTER FRYING:
- Select the minimum position “MIN” using the thermostat control dial.
- Remove the plug from the wall socket.
- Allow the oil and appliance to cool down completely.
- Pour out the used oil at the designated slot, situated at the rear left corner, into a
into a storage container.
- Clean the oil container and basket with soapy water, then rinse with clean water and dry.
- Place the basket inside the oil container. The basket handle can be left out or can be
folded inside the basket.
- To place the handle inside the basket, hold the basket firmly with one hand and use the
other hand to push the handle out of the slots.
- Close the lid.
PRACTICAL ADVICE:
- Fry a few pieces of bread to remove the smell of used oil.
- For food with a high water content, it is better and quicker to fry the food in a lower
quantity. This will reduce the risk of oil splashes.
- The “two-stage frying method” can be used for a more even and crispy coating.
- Canola or sunflower oil is recommended for frying.
- Do not mix different oils.
- Wash potatoes before frying to prevent them from sticking.
CLEANING:
