Morphy Richards 7984 - Manual (Page 4)

Preparing for the
first time
Clean the parts to remove any dust or
manufacturing residues.
1 Ensure fryer is disconnected from the
electricity supply.
2 Remove the lid, control unit, basket and
tank A.
• Note that the basket handle folds back
and locks into position B.
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 left D.
Filling
Remove the lid and take out the basket.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect the fryer to
the electricity supply if there is no oil or fat in
the tank.
Filling with oil
Pour the oil into the tank up to the
maximum level indicated D (approx. 3.4
litres of oil).
Filling with fat or solid oil
1 Cut the new blocks into pieces and place
them directly into the tank. Never melt
blocks of fat in the basket.
2 Plug the fryer into the mains and switch
the power on using the on/off switch.
3 Set the temperature control to 160°C to
melt the fat.
Melting solidified oil
If the fat has previously solidified, pierce
the fat down the sides of the basket with a
plastic spatula, as far as the bottom of the
tank, so that any water trapped under the fat
can escape as steam. Make sure not to
damage the heating element in doing so.
Follow 2 and 3 above.
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 or if you try to melt fat without
following the previous instructions.
If the thermostat has switched the fryer
off, allow the fryer to cool completely and
carefully press the reset button concealed in
the opening at 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. The red temperature
indicator light will illuminate.
