•

Place the appliance on a flat, stable,

horizontal surface well away from the

edge, and make sure that the cable is

not hanging over the side of the table or

work surface and is not touching any hot

surfaces. 

•

Remove the cable from its housing at

the back of the fryer. 

•

Remove the lid 

(1)

, holding it by the

handle.  

(2)

•

Before filling the fryer with oil or fat, all

the parts should be assembled and

completely dry. 

•

Pour oil or fat into the pan up to between

the maximum and minimum level marks

etched on the inside.  If using solid fat,

melt it first in a separate pan before

pouring into the fryer (See ‘Using with

solid fat’). 

•

Do not mix different types of oil or fat

.

Do not add new oil or fat to used oil

or fat.

•

Plug the fryer into the mains.

•

Select the necessary temperature by

using the temperature control setting.

The pilot light will come on and the

heating element will start to function 

Caution:

you must pre-heat the fryer for 15

minutes after switching it on in order to

reach the selected temperature. During this

time, the pilot light will come on and go off

for 3 or 4 cycles. After 15 minutes, the oil

temperature will be stable and can therefore

be used to fry the food. This step may

make the fryer perform better.   

•

Select the required temperature using

the temperature control knob.  When

selecting the temperature, be guided by

the information given on the packaging

of the food to be fried or by the

information table on the fryer.  

•

When the pilot light switches off (10-15

minutes), this indicates that the oil/fat has

reached the selected temperature.  The

pilot light will continue to switch on and off

in keeping with the thermostat cycles

throughout the entire cooking period. 

If you wish to carry out a number of

continuous frying operations, wait until

the pilot light has switched off before

placing the next item of food in the

oil/fat.  

•

Place the basket with the food slowly

into the oil to prevent any water in the

food from causing the oil to bubble up

over the sides of the pan.

•

Keep a close eye on the whole frying

process. 

After frying

•

Remove the basket from the pan, shake

a little and then hook into the draining

position 

(Fig. 3)

. Place the food on a

tray over a piece of absorbent kitchen

paper.  While you are doing this, the oil

will have time to reach the right

temperature for the next frying operation

(the pilot light will switch off once again).

•

Use a strainer to remove any loose

particles of fried food that may have

come off the main pieces and are

floating in the oil. Leaving them to toast

will have a negative effect on the quality

of the oil.  

•

When you have finished frying, turn the

thermostat switch to the ‘0’ position and

unplug the appliance from the mains.  If

the fryer is used often, submerge the

basket in the oil and place the lid over

the top for protection.

•

Wait for the oil to cool completely before

disassembling and cleaning the fryer. 

•

If you are not going to use the fryer for a

while, we recommend that you store the

oil or liquid fat in airtight recipients,

either in the fridge or in a cool place.  Fill

the recipients by straining the oil or liquid

fat through a fine sieve to eliminate any

left-over particles of food.

•

If you have used solid fat, leave it to

solidify in the pan and then store the

fryer with the fat still in it.  (See ‘Using

with solid fat’).
