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.

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.

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.
