Use a recommended oil - do not mix oils or fats.•
Take into account the type of food when you set the frying temperature. Generally, pre-•
cooked foods need a higher cooking temperature than raw foods.
If you need to add oil, do so between batches. Allow the oil to heat up to the right tem-•
perature before continuing - (“Ready” light on).
During cooking, the “Ready” light may go on and o - this is normel and not a cause for •
concern.
Follow your recipe to help you cook food for the correct time.•
Ensure there is enough room to operate the frying basket.•
Use the fryer in well ventilated conditions. All food contains moisture which turns to steam •
during frying.
Ensure that the food is completely immersed in the oil.•
Cook food thoroughly. Remember that food may turn golden brown before it has cooked •
through.
Do not lean over the fryer when cooking food.•
Check the progress of the food during cooking.•
Do NOT touch the metal surfaces of the fryer during cooking.•
Always hold the basket by the handle during cooking.•
Do not shake the basket when it is in the oil - hot oil causes severe burns!!•
WHEN THE FOOD IS COOKED
Lift the basket, Place it in the raised position and wait a few seconds to let the oil drain o •
and the steam to subside.
Shake the basket • slightly to remove excess oil
Transfer the food carefully to a heatproof utensil and return the basket to the fryer in the •
raised position.
If the food is not fully cooked: Lower the basket into the oil, and continue cooking. •
Return the basket to the fryer in the •
LOWERED position.
Switch o the mains socket and un-•
plug the fryer.
Place the lid on the fryer.•
Leave the appliance to cool fully be-•
fore cleaning.
Note:• If you are using solid fat,
remove the basket from the fryer
before the fat in the tank solidies.
Leave the basket on a heatproof sur-
face to cool after removing it from
the fryer and before washing it as
described elsewhere in the manual.
If you operate the fryer without any oil or with a very
low level of oil in the tank the element will rapidly
reach a dangerously high temperature. If this occurs
the element will switch o automatically and dis-
connect power to the fryer. The mains power light
will also extinguish.
To reset the fryer: Disconnect the fryer from the
mains supply, and allow it to cool down completely.
Now remove the fryer element and depress the Re-
set Button. The fryer will now operate normally.
WARNING: it is extremely dangerous to operate
the fryer with low or no oil in the tank.
