USING YOUR APPLIANCE:
Note: Assemble the frying basket handles and
ensure they are secure correctly before use.
1. Fill the oil tank to the appropriate level.
The oil tank is clearly marked with the
Minimum and Maximum oil levels, do not
attempt to fry with less than the minimum
level as this could cause damage and
overheating to the unit.
2. Do not ll over the Maximum level as this
could cause the oil to spill when the food
is placed in the tank to cook, especially
when the food contains moisture.
3. Turn the temperature control to the MIN
position, plug the appliance in and switch
on. The green indicator light will light up.
4. Turn the temperature control to the
required temperature, and the red
indicator light will illuminate. This indicates
that the unit is now on and heating the oil.
5. Allow the oil to reach the required
temperature before placing any food in the
oil. This is indicated by the red light, which
will go out when the oil has reached the
required temperature.
READY LIGHT:
NOTE:
This light will cycle on and o as the
thermostat cycles to maintain the correct
temperature.
1. The temperature control dial allows the
temperature to be set between
70°C - 190°C.
2. Never use the controller to switch the
appliance o. Always switch o at the
power switch and unplug.
COOKING WITH YOUR DEEP FAT FRYER:
1. Place the food in the frying basket.
Do not overload the basket as this will
substantially lower the oil temperature.
2. Once the oil has reached the correct
temperature and the ready light has turned
o, slowly lower the fry basket into the oil.
3. When the food is ready, remove the lid (if it
has been used) by lifting it by the handle.
Always open the lid of the fryer away from
yourself. Lift the basket up slowly out of
the oil, making sure the basket handle is
xed in the up position.
4. After the excess oil has drained, place the
food on a paper towel lined baking sheet
to allow any remaining oil to drain away.
5. If you are frying more than one load,
ensure the oil re-heats to the required
temperature.
SAFETY CUT-OUT:
In the vent of overheating, the safety cut out will
switch o the deep fat fryer. This can happen
if the deep fat fryer is not lled with sucient
oil, or if solid frying fat is melted in the deep fat
fryer.
If the safety cut out switches o the deep fat
fryer, take the following steps:
Allow the oil or fat to cool down.
Carefully push in the reset switch at the rear of
the control element with a small screwdriver.
The deep fat fryer is now ready for use.

TIPS:
• Certain vegetables, such as potatoes
will not require a coating as they form a
natural skin around themselves. However,
most meat and sh will require a batter or
breading.
• Gently lower food into the oil.
• Don’t overll the fryer. It’s better to fry in
batches.
• Take into account the type of food you
are cooking when selecting a frying
temperature. Generally, pre-cooked food
will require a higher temperature and less
cooking time than raw food.
• CAUTION: Certain foods may begin to turn
golden brown before they are fully cooked.
• Always check the food is fully cooked
before serving.
Oil:
• Always start with clean oil. To keep your oil
clean, strain out any food remnants after
use, and replace the oil completely after
8 - 10 uses.
• Suitable oils to use in your fryer include
vegetable, sunower, sesame, groundnut,
corn, soy, hazelnut and rapeseed.
• Peanut oil, saower oil, sunower oil and
canola oil are the best choices as they
have ‘high smoke points’. This means
they don’t break down at deep frying
temperatures.
• If you use the same oil for frying repeatedly,
the temperature at which the smoke point
occurs is lowered. This happens less in
rapeseed and sunower oils.
• Avoid using olive oil, butter or margarine
in your fryer as they are unsuitable for
cooking at such high temperatures.
• Dierent oils have dierent tastes to them.
Canola oil tastes fairly neutral, hazelnut oil
has a distinctive taste, light sesame oil has
a nutty avour which is especially good for
frying, and rapeseed oil is a popular choice
with a light and delicate taste. Peanut oil
doesn’t absorb or transfer avours, making
it good for cooking – however, its smoking
point is lower than that of corn or saower
oil.
• Almond, avocado and cottonseed oil are
also great to fry with, although they are
harder to nd and more expensive.
• Rapeseed oil is also a healthy choice as
it has less unhealthy saturated fat than all
other cooking oils, along with being a rich
source in vitamin E.
• Change the oil in your fryer after every
8 – 10 uses. When you do change the oil,
never pour it down the drain. Dispose of it
safely according to the guidelines of your
local council.
