IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Follow basic safety precautions, including:

This appliance shall not be used by children from 0 year to 8 years. This

appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above if they are
continuously supervised. This appliance can be used by people with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
Keep the product and its cord out of reach of children aged less than 8
years. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be done by children.

This product must be positioned on a stable surface with the handles

positioned to avoid the spillage of hot liquids.

h Surfaces of the product are liable to get hot during use.

Never operate the product by means of an external timer or separate
remote-control system.

b Don’t immerse the appliance in liquid.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

• Don’t lean or reach over the fryer while the oil is hot.

• Don’t carry or pass anything through the space over or near the fryer – if anything
drops into the fryer, hot oil will splash out.

• Don’t try to move or carry the fryer if it contains hot oil. Let it cool down fully first.

• Don’t leave the fryer unattended while plugged in.

• Don’t use the fryer without first filling, with good quality cooking oil between the
MIN and MAX marks inside the bowl. If the oil level is below the MIN mark, you
may damage the fryer. If above the MAX mark, hot oil may escape, causing
damage and injury.

• Don’t put the fryer under cupboards, shelves, or anything that might be damaged
by heat or steam. Keep it clear of combustible materials like curtains, or drapes.

• Never let the power cord hang over the edge of a work top, touch hot surfaces or
become knotted, trapped or pinched.

• Don’t put anything on top of the fryer while it’s in use.

• Unplug the fryer when not in use, before moving and before cleaning, let it cool
down fully before cleaning or storing away.

• Don’t use accessories or attachments unless we supply them.

• Don’t use the fryer for anything other than heating cooking oil for deep frying.

• Don’t use the fryer if it’s damaged or malfunctions.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

PREPARATION

1. Sit the fryer on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, at least 75cm above the floor,
with at least 5cm space all round it.

2. Keep it away from cupboards, curtains, anything combustible, and anything that
might be damaged by heat or steam.

3. Position the fryer so the basket handle, when in the raised position, doesn’t extend
beyond the edge of the work surface where it might be caught or knocked
accidentally.

4. Line a colander with paper towel, to drain the food after frying.

5. When using your fryer, always use oven gloves. They don’t just protect your hands
from heat, they protect them from drips and splashes too.

FILLING

1. Stand back, and press the lid button E, to open the lid.

2. If the bowl is empty, fill with good quality liquid cooking oil, to between the MIN
and MAX marks. If it already contains oil, check the level, and top up as necessary.

• Don’t use solid cooking oil, fat, butter, margarine, or olive oil. Olive oil generally
contains too much water, and can be too smoky. Buy a good quality liquid cooking
oil suitable for deep frying, like sunflower or corn oil.

• Don’t mix oils of different types, as they’ll have different temperature
characteristics.

USING YOUR FRYER

1. Turn the temperature control to the temperature you need. The range is 80ºC to

190º C.

2. Put the plug into a wall socket (switch the socket on, if it’s switchable). The power
light will come on.

3. The thermostat light will come on to show that the fryer is heating up. The light
will go out when the correct temperature is reached, then cycle on and off as the
thermostat works to maintain the temperature.

4. When the thermostat light goes out, you can start frying.

Prepare the food

• Cut food into uniformly sized pieces.

• Coat wet food (e.g. fish, fruit) with flour, crumbs, batter, etc.

• Don’t try to defrost food in the fryer. Any food other than pre-cooked, quick-frozen
foods (e.g. frozen chips, scampi in breadcrumbs, chicken pieces in batter) must be
fully defrosted before putting into the fryer.
