ቭ by pressing the button until the
required time is reached. The time will start counting
down as soon as the button is released. See “operating
the timer”.
8 When ready, raise the basket and allow the food to
drain before opening the lid.
● To re-use oil, allow to cool then pour the oil through fine
muslin or absorbent paper.
● Always unplug the fryer after use.
hints
● We would recommend the use of a good quality oil for
deep frying, such as corn oil or groundnut oil. A good
quality solid fat may also be used. Other oils may be
used if they are specifically recommended by the
manufacturer for deep frying. Never mix different oils or
fat and do not use olive oil, butter or margarine as they
will smoke or bubble over.
● Pre-cooked food needs a higher temperature than raw
food.
● Cook food thoroughly. The outside may look ready
before the inside is cooked.
● Keep your fryer with oil (cooled and strained) inside it,
ready for use. The lid keeps the dust out.
● Before frying battered food, drain off excess batter.
● To make chips, cut potatoes up evenly, so they cook
evenly. Rinse and dry before frying. For best results use dry
floury textured potatoes i.e. King Edwards or Maris Piper.
● To prolong the life of your fryer, filter the oil after each
use and change it after 8 - 10 uses.
● Shake off any excess ice before frying frozen foods.
