Your appliance is equipped with a safety thermostat that switches your fryer off in case of overheating. This may happen if there is no (or too little) oil in the tank or if you try to melt fat without following the previous instructions. If the thermostat has switched the fryer off, allow your fryer to cool down and carefully press the reset button concealed in the opening at the back of the fryer G.

There are two methods of cooking in your fryer; one general method for most food stuffs and another for home battered products.
Remove the fryer lid before heating up and cooking.
GGeenneerraall ccooookkiinngg mmeetthhoodd
1 Adjust the control dial to the desired
temperature. The red temperature indicator light will illuminate.
2 When the oil or fat has reached the required
temperature the light will go out. Lift the basket and put it on the rest H so that it is not in contact with the oil or fat. Place the food, which should be as dry as possible into the raised basket.
3 THE BASKET SHOULD ALWAYS BE IN THE
RAISED POSITION WHEN IT IS TO BE FILLED WITH FOOD. Lower the basket into the tank.
4 When the food is cooked, place the basket on
its raised position for a few seconds.
5 Remove the basket from the fryer and put the
fried food in a dish with fat absorbing paper (eg. kitchen paper/kitchen roll).
6 After use, set the temperature knob to the
lowest position by turning it anticlockwise then switch the fryer off. Remove the mains plug from the socket.
7 ALLOW 2 HOURS FOR THE OIL TO
COOL DOWN. Then remove the basket
from the oil and use kitchen paper to wipe away excess oil, press the handle forward to unlock it from its fixed position and ONLY THEN lower the basket and handle into the oil. tank
THE STORAGE LID SHOULD NOT BE USED ON THE FRYER WHEN COOKING.
8 Clean the fryer AFTER THE OIL OR FAT
HAS COOLED DOWN.
CCooookkiinngg hhoommee--bbaatttteerreedd ffooooddss
This method allows for the fact that if wet batter is placed in the basket prior to cooking the food may stick. This method of cooking requires extreme care. 1 Adjust the control dial to the desired
temperature. The red temperature indicator light will come on.
2 When the oil or fat has reached the required
temperature the light will go out. LEAVE THE BASKET IN THE DOWN POSITION.
3 Coat the raw food in the batter and allow it
to drain slightly to get rid of the excess coating. VERY CAREFULLY, SLOWLY LOWER THE COATED FOOD INTO THE HOT OIL, USING A 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.
4 You may now follow the instructions as given
in parts 4 to 7 in general cooking method. AFTER USE, DISCONNECT YOUR FRYER
FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BY REMOVING THE PLUG FROM THE WALL SOCKET.

Never use the fryer without oil or fat.
Always ensure that you use a good quality lard or oil for deep frying. Corn, groundnut, rape seed or vegetable oils are ideal. Do not use margarine, butter or olive oil.
Avoid mixing oil or fat of different qualities.
Change the oil or fat when it becomes brown or milky in colour.
If there are water droplets on the base of the tank, the oil should be changed.
Important: Before each use pierce holes in solid fat with a plastic spatula, as far as the bottom of the fryer body, so that any water trapped under the fat can escape as steam. Make sure not to damage the heating element in doing so. If you use oil, leave it to cool and transfer it to a metal or ceramic container.
PPrreeppaarriinngg ffoooodd
Take into account the food to be cooked before you select your frying temperature. As a general guide pre-cooked food needs a higher cooking temperature than raw food.
Your food must always be completely dry in order to avoid overflowing and to prolong the use of the oil or fat.
All foodstuffs, particularly frozen food and potatoes, contain moisture. When lowered into the hot oil or fat, the water in the food turns to steam and escapes.
Old potatoes are ideal for making chips. Your chips should be evenly sized so that they cook evenly and should be rinsed and dried before they are fried.
CCooookkiinngg
Do not overload the basket as it may cause a drop of the temperature that may leave the food greasy. Do not use your fryer under wall mounted cupboards which could prevent you removing the lid easily. Your fryer will always be ready to use if you store cooled and filtered oil inside, with the lid in place. Cook your food thoroughly. Remember that your food may begin to turn golden brown before it is cooked through.
Select your cooking utensils with care. Do not use utensils that may melt. Metal utensils become hot and therefore should have insulated handles. When using metal utensils TAKE CARE NOT TO DAMAGE THE HEATING ELEMENT.
Your fryer has a maximum capacity of 1kg of food. For best results with frozen chips, we recommend no more than 900g are being used.
Avoid leaving food to drain for too long in the basket as the food may become soft and lose its crunchiness.
Old potatoes are ideal for making chips. Your chips should be evenly sized so that they cook evenly. They should be rinsed in a colander under a cold tap and dried using a kitchen towel or absorbent paper. For best results fry your chips at 160°C for 4-6 minutes and then place the basket on its rest. Turn the temperature dial to 190°C and when the temperature control light goes out lower the basket again for a further 2-4 minutes. During this time, shake the basket at short intervals to ensure the chips get an overall browning.

CLEANING SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED OUT WHEN THE FRYER IS SWITCHED OFF AND THE PLUG REMOVED FROM THE SOCKET. YOUR FRYER SHOULD HAVE COMPLETELY COOLED.
BBaasskkeett,, hhaannddllee,, lliidd,, aanndd rreemmoovvaabbllee ttaannkk
The basket and its handle can be hand washed in warm soapy water. IT SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY DRIED AFTERWARDS.
When the oil has completely cooled, the tank of your fryer can be removed for cleaning by following these instructions: Remove the lid, basket and control unit. To remove the tank completely from its shell place your finger tips under the rim of the tank
as indicated I. Once removed, drain the oil contained in the tank through fine muslin or absorbent paper placed in a suitable funnel. The fryer body can be washed

by hand in hot soapy water and the oil tank in a dishwasher.
N.B. If solid fat is used for cooking purposes, the frying basket should be removed when cooking is completed and washed separately. Remove the control unit and element when the fat has cooled down but not solidified. The fryer should then be allowed to cool COMPLETELY, with the tank still in its position, before removing the majority of the solid fat with a plastic spatula or spoon. The tank can then be removed and washed as directed previously. PLEASE FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY.
Dry the tank thoroughly and replace it in the body of your fryer. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE TANK IS COMPLETELY DRY BEFORE YOU PUT IT BACK INTO YOUR FRYER.
You may store your filtered oil in the fryer if you make sure that it is covered by the lid.

If you find the fryer ‘power on’ light is not illuminated when the unit is switched on, it is probably due to the incorrect fitting of the control unit. If the unit is not fitted correctly the safety switch on the back of the unit will not operate.
Fitting the control unit correctly 1 Replace the control unit by locating the two ribs
on the control unit into the 2 slots on the black plastic moulding on the back of the fryer body.
2 The control unit will fit firmly against the back of
the fryer when positioned correctly.
