Morphy Richards 3-in-1 basket fryer - Manual (Page 5)

WARNING: Do not immerse the plastic
body of the fryer or pod in water.
Dry all parts of your fryer thoroughly and
replace the lid, bowl and basket(s).
Replace the bowl with the max/min lines
to the rear. (Please follow the cleaning
instructions).
Disassembly sequence
The fryer has to be disassembled and
assembled following this procedure.
• Open the lid and remove.
• Remove the baskets.
• Lift out the tank.
• Pull out the control pod.
Assembly is the reverse of the above
process.
Removal of control pod
1 Grip the control pod as shown and pull
out.
2 Replace by locating pod in the guides
and push fully in.
Filling with oil
Pour oil into the tank up to the maximum
level indicated (approx 2.6 litres of oil).
Lightly smear the inside of the viewing
window with the oil to inhibit any
condensation which could reduce visibility.
• Use good quality liquid vegetable oil, see
getting the best from your fryer page 6.
Cooking
IMPORTANT: Never operate the fryer
without oil in the bowl.
1 Lower the basket(s) and close the lid.
2 Plug into the mains and switch the
power on.
3 The red power light and orange
temperature light will illuminate.
4 Set the variable temperature control to
the required setting see ‘frying times and
temperature section’.
5 The fryer is now pre-heating the oil, the
orange temperature light may go out and
come back on once or twice during pre-
heat. After approx 15 minutes the oil will
be at the correct temperature.
• When using 2 small baskets both must
be in place when frying to ensure that
there is no escape of steam and fumes
from the handle opening in the lid.
6 Lift the lid.
• Do not over fill the basket when frying,
the food must be covered with the
bubbling hot oil, depending on the size
and shape of the food to be cooked, it
may be necessary to part fill both
baskets to ensure oil covers the food.
There are two methods of cooking in
your fryer; one general method for most
food types and another for home
battered products.
General cooking method
1 Place the baskets in the raised position.
The basket should always be in the
raised position when it is to be filled with
food.
2 Place the food, which should be dry as
possible, into the raised basket. When
frying frozen food, avoid adding ice
particles to the hot oil. Remove the
basket from the fryer, add the frozen
food and shake the basket to remove
excess ice and frost. The oil temperature
and oil life expectancy will be improved.
