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

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

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.
3.
Press on the filter cover on the lid until it locks into place. A small click will
be heard when this happens.
