3 Wash the lid, basket and tank
by hand in hot soapy water.
• You can wash the tank in the
dishwasher.
4 Wipe the control unit with a
damp cloth and/or paper
tissue. IMPORTANT: Never
immerse the control unit in
water.
5 Dry all parts of your fryer
thoroughly and replace the
tank, control unit, basket and
lid. When replacing the tank,
make sure that it is in the
correct way round with the
max/min lines to the right. C
Assembly
Assemble as shown. A
Ensure the oil filter is in place
and the control unit is
correctly fitted to the back
ensuring the two ribs of the
control unit slide into the two
slots. D A safety switch
prevents the fryer from
switching on if fitted
incorrectly.
Filling
Remove the lid and take out
the basket.
IMPORTANT: Do not
connect the fryer to the
electricity supply if there
is no oil in the tank.
Filling with oil
Pour the oil into the tank up
to the maximum level
indicated (approx. 2.6 litres of
oil). C
Safety thermostat
The fryer has a safety
thermostat that switches fryer
off in case of overheating.
This may happen if there is
no (or too little) oil in the tank.
If the thermostat has
switched the fryer off, allow
the fryer to cool completely
and carefully press the reset
button on the back of the
fryer. E
Cooking
There are two methods of
cooking in your fryer; one
general method for most
food types and another for
home battered products.
Remove the fryer lid before
heating up and cooking.
General cooking
method
1 Adjust the control dial to the
desired temperature.
2 When the oil has reached the
required temperature the
green temperature indicator
light will go out.
3 Lift the basket and put it on
the rest. The basket should
always be in the raised
position when it is to be filled
with food.
4 Place the food, which should
be as dry as possible, into
the raised basket. Lower the
basket into the tank.
5 When the food is cooked,
place the basket on its raised
position for a few seconds to
drain.
6 Remove the basket and put
the fried food in a dish with
fat absorbing paper (eg.
kitchen paper/kitchen roll).
7 After use, set the
temperature knob to the
lowest position by turning it
towards you, then switch the
fryer off. Remove the mains
plug from the socket.
Allow 2 hours for the oil to
cool down.
8 Wipe any spilt oil from the
fryer body.
9 Press the handle forward to
unlock it from its fixed
position and lower into the
tank.
10 Replace the storage lid.
Cooking home
battered foods
This method allows for the
fact that if wet batter is
placed in the basket prior to
cooking the food may stick.
This method of cooking
requires extreme care.
1 Adjust the temperature
control to the desired
temperature.
2 When the oil has reached the
required temperature the light
will go out.
Leave the basket in the down
position.
3 Coat the raw food in the
batter and allow it to drain
slightly to get rid of the
excess coating.
