Before using for the first time
•Press on the lid opening button.
•Press on the two tabs that lock the lid in place and lift upwards
to remove the lid.
•Place the lid and the basket in the dishwasher or wash by hand
with warm water and washing up liquid.
•Clean the body by wiping it with a sponge and soapy water.
You should never immerse the appliance body in water.
•When the lid is thoroughly dry, place it back on the fryer.
Filling the bowl
•Use an oil recommended for frying: sunflower, blended
vegetable, etc. If using sunflower oil ensure the oil is changed
after every 5 uses.
The oil/fat level must always be between the mini and maxi
markers, stamped inside the bowl. Check this each time prior
to cooking and add some of the same type of oil if necessary.
• If you use solid vegetable fat:
Cut it into pieces and melt it in a separate pan then pour it
inside the fryer (do not let it melt in the basket , nor in the
bowl).
Do not mix different types of oil or fat.
Oil which should not be used under any circumstances and
may cause overflowing/smoking/risk of fire are: ground nut
oil, soya oil, olive oil, lard or dripping.

Lowering the basket
•After the temperature indicator light goes out place the basket

•Close the lid.
• The handle can be folded back fully into its housing on the
outside of the fryer.
•Keeping the lid closed during frying is recommended to help
alleviate odours and reduce splattering.

window. The steam and glass are very hot. The steam coming
from the filter is extremely hot, so are the window and metallic
parts

Table of
cooking times
The times given are only a guide and may vary depending on
quantities and personal taste. Thicker foods may require turning
halfway through frying to ensure even cooking on both sides.
We recommend you to:
- Limit the cooking temperature at 170°C, especially for potatoes.
- Control the cooking: do not eat very brown or burnt food, but golden food.
- Clean your oil after each use to avoid burnt crumbs and change it regularly.
- Eat a balanced and varied diet which includes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
For a good and fast cooking, limit the quantity of chips to 1/2 basket per frying.
Chips 600g 170°C 11-16 min.
Battered cod fillet 8-11 190°C 9-10 min.
Fried Chicken (leg portion) 1-2 180°C 14-16 min.
Breaded plaice fillet 1-2 170°C 6-8 min.

Cooks tip: When cooking battered foods or doughnuts, remove the wire basket to prevent
food sticking to it. Take great care when handling the food and use tongs. Gradually place
the food in the hot oil, submerging it an inch at a time to prevent it from sinking straight
away.
ENG
Switching off the fryer
•When you have finished frying, press the switch to the 0
position.
• Unplug the fryer.
• Leave the fryer (and the oil inside) to cool completely (approx.
4 hours).
• Store the plug.
• Move the fryer using the carrying handles.
Never move the fryer while the oil or fat is still hot. Never
move the fryer with the lid open.
Filtering the oil
•Remove small pieces of food with a non-metallic skimmer. You
may store the oil or fat in the fryer, or in separate airtight
container.
Filter the oil after each use with filter paper (available from
approved Service Centres) or a filter pot. Crumbs that break
away from food tend to burn and alter the quality of the oil
more rapidly. Over time, this increases the risk of catching
fire. For this reason, filter the oil regularly.
•We recommend changing the oil after a maximum of 8 to 12
uses. If using sunflower oil, change after every 5 uses.
Do not pour used oil into the sink. Leave it to cool, and
throw it away with the household waste - according to the
local community regulations-.
Cleaning the lid and the basket
Never clean the fryer unless it has been unplugged and left to
cool completely beforehand (approx. 4 hours).
•Remove the lid from the fryer.
•Clean the lid and the basket after each use in a dishwasher or
by wiping it with a damp sponge and washing-up liquid.
•Dry the lid before replacing it. The lid is fitted with a permanent
metallic filter, you don’t need to change it.
Cleaning the fryer
•Clean the bowl and the body using a damp sponge with some
washing-up liquid. Dry carefully.
Never immerse the appliance in water, or put it under the
tap.
