Instructions for use
Instructions for useInstructions for use
Opening the lid
To unlock the safety lid, press the release
button at the front.
This lid is spring loaded and will rise up on
its own.
Removing the basket
The basket in your fryer can be raised or
lowered with the lid open only. To do this raise
the lid to the open position, lift the basket
and place it on the basket rest on the front
wall of the tank. Allow excess oil to drain,
shake the basket to ensure all the oil is
removed before lifting out the basket.
Filling with oil
We recommend you use corn, groundnut,
vegetable or rapeseed oil.
Use a good quality solid
fat if you prefer but
remember never to mix
your oils or fats.
Oil level indicator
1 Pour your oil into the fryer until it reaches
the maximum level indicated in the tank
approximately 1.1 litres of oil). Alternatively
melt solid fat gently in a separate pan
before transferring to the tank
(approximately 1.1kg of solid fat or solid
oil).
2 Replace the basket into the oil and close the
lid of the fryer by pressing down at both
sides of the lid, this prevents steam
escaping.
3 Plug the
fryer into
the mains
socket and
switch on.
DO NOT
CONNECT
THE FRYER
TO THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPL Y IF THERE IS NO OIL
OR FA T IN THE T ANK.
4 Set the variable thermostat to the required
temperature. A cooking guide is given at the
end of this instruction booklet.

Cooking home battered foods
Preheating
After approximately 20 minutes, the oil is at
the right temperature. The light indicator
may come on and go out once or twice with
thermostat changes.
During frying
The indicator light may come on and go
out several times as the correct preset
temperature is being maintained.
There are two methods of cooking in your
fryer; one general method for most food stuffs
and another for home battered products.
General cooking method
1 When the correct temperature for cooking
has been reached, open the lid of the fryer
raise the basket, rest it into its raised
position. Place the food to be cooked,
which should be as dry as possible, into
the raised basket of your fryer. THE
BASKET SHOULD ALW A YS BE IN THE
RAISED POSITION WHEN IT IS TO BE FILLED
WITH FOOD.
2 Lower the basket into the oil or fat and
close the lid.
3 Check the progress of your food during
cooking by opening the lid.
4 Open the lid and wait a few seconds
before raising the basket as this allows the
steam to escape. Care should be taken
when opening the lid, as steam may
still be released at pressure.
This method allows for the fact that if wet
batter is placed in the basket prior to cooking,
the food may stick to the basket. This method
of cooking requires extreme care.
1 Ensure that the correct temperature has
been reached (approximately 20 minutes
pre-heating) open the lid of the fryer,
leaving the basket in the down position.
2 Coat the raw food in the batter and allow to
drain slightly to get rid of excess coating.
Very carefully and slowly, lower the coated
food into the hot oil, using suitable
implement or tongs. This allows the batter
to become solid and prevents it sealing to
the mesh of the basket.
Remember to take care as the oil
may spit as the food is added.
3 Close the lid and allow the food to cook.
You may now follow the instructions as
given in ‘general cooking method’ from
point 3.
AFTER USE, DISCONNECT YOUR FRYER
FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BY
REMOVING THE PLUG FROM THE WALL
SOCKET.

CleaningCleaning
• Always ensure that you use a good quality
lard, solid oil or oil for deep frying. Corn,
groundnut, vegetable or rapeseed oil are
ideal. Do not use margarine or olive oil.
• Take into account the food to be cooked
before you select your frying temperature.
As a general guide precooked foods need a
higher cooking temperature than raw foods.
• Select your cooking utensils with care. Do
not use utensils which may melt. Metal
utensils become hot and should, therefore
have insulated handles. When using metal
utensils TAKE CARE NOT T O DAMAGE THE
SPECIAL NON-STICK COATING IN THE
TANK.
• Do not use your fryer under wall mounted
cupboards which could prevent you
opening the lid fully, or allow steam to be
deflected into your face.
• Cook your food thoroughly. Remember that
your food may begin to turn golden brown
before it is cooked through.
• Your fryer will always be ready for use if
you store cooled and filtered oil inside, with
the lid closed.
CLEANING SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED
OUT WHEN THE FRYER IS SWITCHED OFF
AND THE PLUG IS REMOVED FROM THE
SOCKET . YOUR FRYER SHOULD HA VE
COMPLETELY COOLED.
ALW A YS REMOVE THE CHARCOAL FIL TER
BEFORE CLEANING THE LID.
Replaceable charcoal filter
Your fryer is fitted with a white anti-grease
filter which collects grease from passing
steam and a black charcoal filter to reduce
odours. The filters can be used approximately
12 times before replacement, depending upon
quantity of food fried each time.
Replace the filters as follows,
1 Remove the plug from the mains socket.
2 Unclip and lift out the filter panel from the
top of the fryer and remove both the black
and white filters and dispose of them.
3 Insert the new filters, white down, black
up, into the filter recess.
4 Replace the filter panel into the lid, then onto
the top of the fryer.
Contact the customer helpline using
the helpline number on the front of this
booklet for replacement filters.
• All foodstuffs, particularly frozen food and
potatoes, contain moisture. When lowered
into the hot oil or fat the water in the food
turns into steam. Most of the steam which
is trapped escapes when you open the lid
of your fryer- SO CARE IS NEEDED.
• Do not lean over the fryer when pressing
the lid release button as the lid mechanism
causes the lid to spring open.
• Old potatoes are ideal for making chips.
Your chips should be evenly sized (10mm
square) so that they cook evenly and
should be rinsed and dried before they are
fried.

Open the fryer lid to a
vertical position and lift
upwards to remove.
To clean, lift out the
filter panel, REMOVE
THE FILTER and wash
the lid and filter panel
only in hot soapy water.
ENSURE THE LID IS
THOROUGHLY DRIED.
To replace the lid, slot
into position vertically
and close. Replace the filters (grease and
charcoal) then clip in the filter panel.
The fryer lid should be washed at regular
intervals.
Note: If solid fat is
used for cooking,
the basket should be
removed when
cooking is completed
and washed
separately. The
fryer should then be
allowed to cool
completely before
removing
the majority of the
solid fat with a
plastic spatula
or spoon. (We
recommend the use of plastic utensils to
prevent damaging the non-stick lining of the
tank). The tank
can then be
washed.
4 Dry the tank
thoroughly. You
may store your
filtered oil
in the fryer if
you make sure
that it is covered
by the lid.
Basket and handle
The basket and its handle can be hand
washed in warm soapy water. THEY SHOULD
BE THOROUGHLY DRIED AFTER WARDS.
Easy to clean
When the oil has completely cooled, the
non-stick coated tank can be cleaned as
follows, PLEASE FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS
CAREFULLY.
1 Remove the lid as described above and
then remove the basket.
2 To empty the fryer, pour the oil out through
the pouring lip area and filter through fine
muslin or absorbent paper placed in a
suitable funnel and container.
3 The inside of the tank can be washed by
hand with hot soapy water but make sure
that you do not damage the special non-
stick interior by using abrasives or sharp
instruments.
Your oil should be replaced after
about 10 cooking sessions and this is
usually an ideal opportunity to clean the
tank thoroughly.
The fryer body
The exterior should only be cleaned by
wiping with a hot damp cloth and then
thoroughly dried.
NEVER IMMERSE THE BODY OF YOUR FRYER
IN WA TER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
