Lowering the basket
When the oil has reached the selected temperature, the temperature indicator light will turn green
to indicate that the oil is ready.
Open the lid and lower the basket very slowly into the oil.
Dropping the basket quickly into the oil may cause excess splattering or overflowing.
Close the lid and turn the timer knob to the desired time -
13.
Cautions
- During cooking, it is normal for the temperature indicator light to cycle on and off.
- Regardless of the recipe, food must be dried thoroughly before frying. This will prevent the oil from
splattering and/or overflowing and will extend the life of the oil.
- During cooking, it is normal for the left air vent to allow more steam to escape than the right air
vent.
At the end of cooking time
Frying is complete when:
The food is of the desired color and texture,
The timer sounds, indicating the selected cooking time has elapsed.
Then:
Allow excess oil to drain from the food by hooking the basket on its hook for a few minutes -
14.
Open the lid.
Remove the basket.
Serve the food.
Close the lid when the fryer is not in use.
Switch off the appliance.
To fry a second batch, switch the appliance on again, and wait for the temperature indicator light to
turn green again before lowering food into the oil/fat. Always turn the appliance off between bat-
ches.
Caution
- When the fryer is in use, the stainless steel housing and some of the metal parts become extre-
mely hot and can cause severe burns -
15. Steam coming from air vents is also extremely hot.
Only touch the knobs and handles for your safety.
- Never leave the fryer unattended when in use. Monitor the frying closely to avoid over-frying and
risk of fire.
Switching off the deep fryer
When you have finished frying, turn the thermostat down to the lowest setting and turn the switch
to the position. The indicator light goes off.
Unplug the deep fryer.
Allow the oil/fat to cool completely in the fryer (approx. 3 hours).
Move the fryer using carrying handles.
Caution
- Never move the fryer while the oil or fat is still hot.
