Before use Do not immerse any part of the main body, mains lead or plug in water or any

other liquid.

Before using your fryer remove all packaging, promotional materials and stickers. Remove all printed documents. Check that there is no packing around or under the frying basket.

Wash the basket and basket handle in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Wipe the interior and exterior of the main body and lid with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.

filling your fryer with oil

Make sure your fryer is switched off, cooled down, and unplugged from the mains supply socket before filling with oil.

IMPORTANT! Never plug in or switch your fryer on without cooking oil in the bowl.

We recommend that you use a good quality oil in your fryer.

Always use sunflower oil, vegetable oil or corn oil. Never use hard fats, olive oil or oil with a high water content. Do not use butter or margarine.

If the oil has been previously used, check the condition of the oil and replace as necessary. Oil needs to be replaced after 8-10 uses or as required. Do not mix different types of oil together.

1. Open the lid and remove the basket from your fryer. 2. Pour oil (see page 10 for recommended types) into the frying bowl up to the MAX

mark indicated on the inside of the bowl. Do not fill above the MAX mark or below the MIN mark.

Handy Tip: Dont throw the empty oil bottle away. You can use this to dispose of or to store the used oil once it has cooledsee page 16.

8

Always use your fryer on a stable, secure, dry and level surface.

Allow adequate space above and on all sides for air circulation.

Do not allow the appliance to touch any flammable material during use (such as curtains or wall coverings).

Care is required when using the appliance on surfaces that may be damaged by heat. The use of an insulated pad is recommended.

1. Open the lid by pressing the lid open button.

2. Check the oil level and refil or top up if neccessary.

3. Raise the frying basket by lifting the basket handle to the horizontal position until the handle release button clicks.

4. Plug your fryer into a suitable mains supply and switch the socket on.

5. The red power indicator light will illuminate.

6. Close the lid then turn the temperature control dial to the desired temperature setting. The oil will now start to heat up and the green temperature indicator will illuminate.

7. When the oil has reached its set temperature, the green temperature indicator will go out. This light will cycle on and off during cooking as the thermostat regulates the temperature. The red power indicator will remain on.

8. Your fryer is now ready for use.

using your fryer

Frying HOT OIL CAN SCALD AND CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS! NEVER drop or tip

food into the bowl. NEVER put your hand or any other body part into the hot oil. ALWAYS keep your hands and face away from rising steam or spitting oil.

1. With the basket in the raised position, add the food. 2. Close the lid until it clicks. 3. Pull the handle release button backwards with your thumb and gently lower the

basket into the hot oil. 4. When the food is cooked, raise the frying basket by lifting the basket handle to the

horizontal position until the handle release button clicks. This will allow excess oil to drain from the food.

5. Open the lid by pressing the lid release button. Beware of spitting oil and rising steam as you open the lid.

6. Lift the basket out of the fryer and place it onto a drip tray and/or kitchen paper.

Note: Battered or coated food may stick to the frying basket. To prevent this, use a slotted spoon to lift the food away from the mesh straight after the basket has been lowered into the oil.

After frying Once you have finished using your fryer turn the temperature control dial fully anticlockwise. Unplug your fryer from the mains supply socket.

Close the lid and allow the oil and your fryer to completely cool before moving or cleaning your fryer. Always use the carrying handles when moving your fryer. Never attempt to move your fryer using the lid or body.

We recommend that once the oil has cooled completely, it is best to remove the oil from your fryer and to clean the appliance before storing.

10

Recommended types of oil Oils recommended for use in your fryer include:

Sunflower

Vegetable

Groundnut

Rape seed

Corn

Oils and fats not recommended:

Hard fats or solid

Olive oil (any type)

Always use the recommended (MAX) quantity of oil when deep frying. Never exceed this amount, and never use the fryer without any oil in it. Always fill above the MIN mark with oil before using the fryer.

Utensils Select your cooking utensils carefully. Do not use utensils which may melt (e.g. plastic). Take care when using metal utensils as not to damage the heating element. Also metal handles might get hot. Use oven gloves, or buy utensils with insulated handles.

Suitable utensils include metal or heat resistant plastic, slotted spoons, slotted fish slices, or tongs.

Not suitable: wooden or plastic non-heat resistant utensils, knives or other sharp implements.

11

Preparing food Cut food items such as chips to the same size and choose similar sized pieces of fish

and chicken.

Make sure food is as dry as possible (except battered food) before frying. Water and oil do not mix well, water causes hot oil to spit. Use kitchen paper to absorb excess water from fish, meat, vegetables and fruit.

General Smaller pieces of food will fry faster than larger ones. It may be necessary to cook

chicken or frozen items for longer on a lower heat to avoid the outside cooking before the middle is cooked.

Delicate foods such as prawns or thinly sliced vegetables require less cooking at a higher temperature than more robust food types.

Use a food thermometer or the skewer test to ensure that the food has been cooked through to the centre.

Never exceed the MAX level when filling the frying bowl with oil.

Always fill above the MIN level with oil before using the fryer.

Avoid overfilling the frying basket.

DO NOT place face or hands in contact with hot oil or steam.

To avoid battered or coated food sticking to the frying basket, use a slotted spoon to lift the food away from the mesh. Then allow to cook, gently moving the basket from side to side once or twice during cooking.

For even cooking of foods, stir or turn the food with suitable utensils, or move the basket gently during cooking.

Draining Use a drip tray (and rack) to drain large food items after frying. The drip tray without

the rack can also be used to drain smaller items when lined with kitchen paper or as a rest for the frying basket.

Avoid leaving food to drain for too long in the basket over the fryer as the food may become soft and lose its crunchiness.

how to remove oil from your fryer

Before removing oil from your fryer ALWAYS switch off, unplug and allow the oil to cool completely.

1. You will need a slotted spoon, a suitable tray or large plate, kitchen paper, a funnel or jug with a pouring lip, muslin (if reusing the oil), and the original oil bottle you saved earlier! If youve thrown it away, any suitable sized bottle with a lid will do.

2. Using a slotted spoon, skim off any food scraps floating on the surface of the oil. 3. If you have used it, remove the basket from your fryer and place it on kitchen paper

to drain. 4. Next, place the oil bottle in the sink, remove its cap and place the funnel in the top. If

you wish to reuse the oil, line the funnel with a piece of muslin to act as a filter. 5. Remove the lid from your fryer (see page 17) to avoid it falling off when you tip the oil

out of the bowl. 6. Using both hands, carefully pick up your fryer by the carrying handles on each side. 7. Take it over to the sink and pour the oil from the bowl slowly into the bottle through

the funnel. Alternatively, pour the oil into a jug that has a pouring lip and use this to transfer the oil into the bottle.

7. When all the oil has been poured into the bottle, remove the funnel (discard the muslin, if used), and replace the bottle cap. The oil can now either be stored for reuse, or discarded safely and cleanly.

8. You can now clean your fryersee page 17.

Always dispose of the oil in an environmentally safe way. Never pour the oil into drains. Contact your recycling centre for advice on the disposal of the oil.
