SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Important: This appliance is not intended for use by persons including children with reduced physical, sensory or

mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction

concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• Please read all instructions carefully before using the fryer for the first time.

• Make sure, that the nominal voltage on the rated label corresponds to the mains voltage of your domestic

electrical installation. Please contact your power supply company or your service centre, if there are any

discrepancies.

• Keep children away while the unit is in operation.

• Take care that the deep fat fryer is connected to a separate circuit, without consumption of other powerful

energy consumers such as electric water kettles and the like, because of its high performance. Do not use an

extension cord for operating the deep fryer to avoid tripping hazards.

• Do not connect the deep fryer with a timer switch and do not operate the unit using a radio controlled system.

• Only use oils and fats which are suitable for deep-frying due to their quality and their temperature resistance.

• Do not use the deep fryer for boiling water.

• Let the fryer oil cool down before disposing off. Do not dispose of used oil in the sewerage system.

• Do not lead the power cord over sharp edges and corners or hot surfaces.

• Place the unit at least of 20 cm away from other appliances and keep a distance of at least 5 cm from the wall.

• Make sure no flammable objects are nearby the unit.

• Place the unit on a flat horizontal surface while operating. Do not place the unit in sinks.

• Do not use the unit outside or close to gas flames, hotplates or other hot objects.

• The device is not intended for continuous professional operation. The device is intended to be used in closed

rooms only and in similar applications such as: staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working

breakfast type environments. The use in any other way is not considered as intended use.

• Never immerse the unit into liquids and do not clean the housing in the dishwasher.

• Do not let children near the unit without any supervision when in operation.

• Do not overfill the oil container. The punched MAX mark in the container acts as a measure. Always fill the

container at least up to the punched MIN mark to avoid damage to the unit because of overheating. Never

operate the unit without oil.

Operating Instructions

Before First Use

Remove all packaging parts from the unit and the container and take the accessories out of the cooking oil

container. Dispose of packaging material or store out of the reach of children. There is a risk of suffocation!

Check the unit for possible damage in transport. Clean the unit as described in the Cleaning and Maintenance

section.

Using the Fryer

We recommend using quality vegetable oil that is heat resistant and suitable for frying. Never switch on the fryer

without cooking oil.

1. Fill the fryer at least up to the MIN marking but not higher than the MAX mark that in stamped inside the oil

container. The fryer when full will use 1200ml of cooking oil. Do not exceed the MAX mark; otherwise there is a

serious risk of burns from boiling oil.

2. Plug in the power plug into an earthed socket. Switch on the deep fryer by turning the thermostat controller

clockwise. The POWER control light turns on and indicates that the unit is connected to the mains power.

3. Select the required temperature with the thermostat controller. The heating control light indicates that the

heating element is turned on. When the HEAT lamp goes out the fryer has reached the required temperature.

The HEAT light will continue to come on and go off as the fryer maintains the temperature of the oil.

4. Always ensure that the lid of the fryer is closed while the fryer is heating the oil.

5. Attach the detachable handle, as pictured on the right to the frying basket. Gently

press the tongs together and lead them through the upper retainers on top of the

frying basket. Then insert them in to the lower brackets (see the arrow marks) and

release the tongs.

6. Fill the basket with you food of choice. The food should be free from water or excess

ice.

7. Open the lid of the fryer using the handle (1). Carefully put the frying basket into the

fryer. Pay attention, hot oil can splatter. If when putting the basket into the fryer the oil

begins to bubble and rise, carefully raise the frying basket and then lower again.

8. Make sure the detachable handle is placed correctly so that the lid closes properly when cooking. You can

observe the cooking process through the window (2) in the lid. If necessary, very carefully open the lid and

allow the steam to escape and then wipe off condensation from the window.

9. After frying is done, open the lid using then handle (1) and allow the steam to escape. Hook the frying basket

10. Filter

on the edges of the oil container (9) and let excess oil drip away. Remove the frying basket from the edge of

the oil container and empty the fried food into a suitable bowl.

10. Turn the thermostat controller fully anti-clockwise to the left. Switch off the deep fryer at the mains and remove

the plug from the socket.

11. Allow the hot oil to cool down and then remove debris and coatings or breading after each use. Preferably pour

the cooled oil into a bowl and clean the oil container thoroughly. Insert a fine oil strainer or a coffee filter into the

small frying basket and filter the oil back into the oil container.

WARNING: Never move or attempt to clean the fryer until the oil has cooled down completely.

Useful Guidelines and Hints for Frying

• To achieve golden brown fried foods set the temperature to 170˚C. This temperature setting is recommended

for potatoes, starchy foods or foods with coating and breading. For meat and poultry without coating, set the

thermostat controller to 190˚C. To fry baked goods, select the temperature setting 170˚C.

• Smoking oil is an indication that the oil is too hot and may ignite. In this case reduce the temperature to avoid a

grease fire.

WARNING: Never use water to extinguish an oil / grease fire.

• Correct frying times and required temperature depend on the food properties such as size and thickness.

Please pay attention to the information provided by the food producer.

• We recommend thawing frozen foods prior to frying. This is especially necessary when frying big pieces.

• Before inserting the foods into the hot oil, shake off any excessive flour or coating.

• Protein-rich foods such as fish, sea food, meat and poultry can be fried without coating. Food should be dried

well before placing into the hot oil.

• Vegetables and fruits should be coated with batter or breading in order to immediately seal the pores.

• Do not place too much food into the deep fryer, otherwise the pieces of food will not brown correctly.

• Do not successively fry different kind of foods in the same oil. When frying foods with distinct odour such as

fish, any foods fried afterwards may take on a similar flavour.

• When frying fish and meat you can use the oil approx. 5 – 10 times after filtering the oil after each use. When

frying potato based foods such as chips the oil can be used more often.

Overheat Protection

The deep fryer is equipped with overheat protection. If the overheat protection activates, Turn the fryer off and

remove the plug from the socket. Allow to cool down for at least 20 minutes and the fryer will reset and work again

as normal.

Changing the Oil

• Please change consumed oil when it goes dark or the smell changes.

• Wait for approximately 2 hours or until the oil has cooled sufficiently before you start to clean the unit and filter

the oil.

• Always change the oil completely. Do not mix old and new oil.

WARNING: Do not dispose of oil in the sewerage system

Permanent Filter in the Lid

The lid of the deep fryer has a permanent filter. This filter substantially collects

odours.

1. If necessary, the filter can be cleaned. Press the latch of the filter cover and

remove the cover, as pictured. Remove the filter and clean it with mild soapy

water or in the dishwasher. When cleaning the filter in soapy water, rinse

thoroughly and allow the filter to dry well before next use.

2. Re-insert the filter into the lid.

Press on the filter cover on the lid until it locks into place. A small click will

be heard when this happens.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Always switch off the deep fryer before cleaning. Unplug the power plug and let the unit cool down completely.

Do not pull the cable to unplug the unit.

• Disconnect the deep fryer from the power supply when the unit is not in use.

• Clean the housing with a slightly damp cloth or paper towel and dry it thoroughly. Use detergent when needed.

Do not clean the unit in the dishwasher and do not immerse it into water or any other liquid. Before using the

fryer after cleaning, ensure that it is completely dry.

• Clean the oil container with a damp sponge and remove any debris and oil residues. Loosen any food residues

only with a wooden or plastic scraper to avoid damaging the surface. Dry the container thoroughly after

cleaning. Make sure that there is no water in the container when heating up again.

• Do not use any sharp detergents, aggressive chemicals, metallic or sharp items to clean the deep fryer in order

not to damage the surfaces.

• Store the unit indoors in a dry place that is protected from dust, dirt and extreme temperatures.

• Store the unit of the reach of children.
