BEFORE USING FIRST USE

• Take the appliance and accessories from the box. Remove all packaging.

• Place the device on a ﬂat stable surface and ensure a minimum of 10cm free space

around the device. This device is not suitable for insta

n in a cabinet or for

external use.

• Wipe oﬀ all removable parts with a damp cloth. Never use abrasive products. Wash

the basket in warm soapy water and dry it well before use. Clean the inside of the

pan with a damp cloth and wipe it dry thoroughly. Ensure that all electrical

parts

remain completely dry.

• Assembly the handle and basket

1. Take the basket from the packaging. See ﬁgure 1.

2. Turn the handle outwards and lock in place.

See ﬁgure 2.

Figure 1 Figure 2

• Connect the unit to the mains. (Note: Make sure the voltage which is indicated on

the device matches the local voltage before co

the device. Voltage

220V-240V 50Hz)

Preparing oil/ fat

• It is advised that never mix diﬀerent types of oil or fat. We recommended you to

use frying oil or liquid frying fat.

• Ensure that the oil/fat is not contaminated with water, for example from frozen

products, this will cause excessive spa ering.

• Never use the fryer without oil or fat as this will damage the appliance.

• Never pour any liquid, such as water, in the pan.

• Using solid fat entails the risk of trapping water in the fat which will cause it to

spa

er violently when heated up. If you intent to use solid frying fat, the following

steps must be taken to prevent the fat from spa

ering.

1. Put the blocks of fat into normal pan and melt it ﬁrst with a low heat.

2. Pour the melted fat carefully into the fryer.

3. If the solid fat is solidiﬁed from last frying oper punch some holes into the

solidiﬁed fat with a fork.

3. Put the food to the basket and check the handle is securely locked before cooking.

Note : Do not unfold the handle during cooking.

USING THE APPLIANCE

1. Place the fryer on a stable, ﬂat and dry surface.

2. Ensure the fryer is switched oﬀ by turning the temperature knob to “OFF”

posion.

3. Connect the appliance to the mains.

4. Fill the tank with the required amount of oil or fat. Ensure that the appliance is

ﬁlled at least to the minimum level and not higher than the maximum level, as

indicated on the inside of the fryer. For opmal results we advice to avoid mixing

diﬀerent types

of oil.

Oil level Litre

Min. 1litre

Max. 1.5litre

5. Select the desired temperature with the temperature knob on the control panel.

The thermostat indicator will illuminate.

6. For the best results the food should be dry before being placed in the basket.

7. With the basket posioned on the hook, put the food into the basket (e.g. ﬁres)

and slowly immerse into the heated oil or fat to prevent the oil from bubbling up too

strongly.

8. Ensure the basket has been inserted properly. The

appliance shall be used with lid

up.

9. Stays at the correct temperature, the thermostat will switch on and oﬀ.

10. Li the basket when the frying me has elapsed and hang it on the hook in the

pan so the oil can drip oﬀ.

Frying Tips

• Use a maximum of 200 grams of chips per litre of oil.

• When using frozen products, use a maximum of 100 grams because the oil cools oﬀ

rapidly. Shake frozen products above the sink to remove excess ice.

• When fresh chips are used, dry the chips a er washing them to ensure no water

gets into the oil. Fry the chips in two turns. First

me (blanch) 5 to 10 minutes at 170

degrees. Second

me (ﬁnishing) 2 to 4 minutes at 190 degrees. Allow the oil to drip

oﬀ.

Changing the oil

• Make sure the fryer and the oil or fat have cooled down before changing the oil or

fat (remove the plug of the device from the socket). Change the oil regularly. This is

par

ularly necessary when the oil or fat goes dark or the smell changes. Always

change the oil a

er every 10 frying sessions. Change the oil in one go. Never mix old

and new oil.

• Used oil is harmful to the environment. Do not dispose of it with your normal

rubbish but follow the guidelines issued by the local authori es.

• Before cleaning, unplug the appliance and wait for the appliance to cool down.

• Detach the handle from basket, wash the basket and handle in hot water and

washing-up liquid, Rinse and dry carefully.

• Wash the lid in warm soapy water, rinse, then stand the lid upright (with the spring

at the bo

om), to drain and dry. To replace the lid, slide the spring into the slot, and

the lugs at the ends of the spring into the posts at the rear of the fryer.

• Never immerse the device under water.

• Clean the appliance with a damp cloth. Never use harsh and abrasive cleaners,

scouring pad or steel wool, which damages the device.
