HOW TO USE
Before first use please ensure all packaging is removed. Wash the basket and oil
pot in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Please note that this appliance is equipped with a safety interlock switch to
ensure that it is correctly assembled before use. Please check correct assembly
before connecting to mains supply.
1. Pour between oil into the fryer. The level of oil must be between the MAX and MIN
level marked on the surface of the oil pot.
2. Use only good quality vegetable oil or sunflower oil for deep frying. Butter, marga
rine, olive oil or animal fat is not recommended and can pose a safety hazard
3. Smear the viewing window of the lid with a little oil.
4. Plug in the mains. The red power light will illuminate. If it does not illuminate then
check that the product is correctly assembled. Set thermostat to the required tem
perature. The temperature light will go out when the set temperature is reached.
5. Add food (as dry as possible) into the basket first. Do not overload basket. Place
food of uniform size into the basket so that it cooks evenly. Be sure to dry all food
before frying.
6. Gently lower the basket into the fryer. Putting the lid on is optional. Do not add water
or wet items to the cooking oil, even small amounts of water will cause oil to spatter.
7. After cooking, lift the basket out of the oil to drain.
HINTS
Use only metal kitchen utensils with insulated handles in hot oil.
Care should be taken when frying, especially when children are nearby.
Take into account the food type and select the temperature for frying. As a general guide,
food that has been pre-cooked in some way needs a higher temperature and less cooking
time than raw food.
OVER HEAT PROTECTION SWITCH (8)
There is an over heat protection switch that will cut power to the fryer if the appliance is
switched on without enough oil in it. The switch will need to be reset before the fryer can be
used.
1. Unplug from mains and allow to cool.
2. Insert a thin non-metal utensil into the hole and press the reset switch.
The fryer should then operate normally.
