IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
· Please read all instruction manuals before use and save it for future
references.
· Before first switching on check that voltage indicated on the rating label
corresponds the mains voltage in your home.
· For home use only. Do not use for industrial purposes. Use the
appliance only for its intended use.
· Do not use outdoors or in damp area.
· Do not immerse the appliance and cord in water or other liquids.
· Never pull the cord while disconnecting from the power outlet; instead,
grasp the plug only and pull to disconnect.
· Do not allow the cord to touch sharp edges and hot surfaces.
· Always unplug appliance from the power supply when not in use.
· Do not operate the appliance with damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been dropped or damaged in any
manner. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the
appliance; take it to a service center for examination, repair or
mechanical adjustment.
· Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near
children.
· Do not leave appliance unattended while operating.
CAUTION:
· To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage
appliance on the same circuit.
· Do not cover the appliance when is use.
· The oil in the deep fryer will stay hot for some time after it is switched
off. Never attempt to move your deep fryer until it is completely cool.
· Before use, always ensure that the oil tank is positioned correctly
in the deep fryer body. The max/min level marks should be at the
back of the deep fryer. Otherwise safety lock will not allow switching
appliance on.
· Never connect the deep fryer to the power supply without placing oil in
the oil tank first.
· If using solid fat, melt it gently in a separate pan then pour into the oil
tank before switching on the deep fryer. Do not melt the solid fat in the
frying basket as this may damage the deep fryer.
· Never operate deep fryer with oil level below the Minimum mark or
above the Maximum mark.
· Be careful not to touch those surfaces of the deep fryer which become
hot when you are cooking, e.g. at or near joint of the lid and body.
· Never attempt to pour hot oil out of the deep fryer; allow cooling first.
· On completion of frying and before opening the lid, always raise the
basket and wait a few seconds to allow steam pressure to subside.
· Always dry food before frying so even a little amount of moisture can
cause the hot oil to froth excessively.
· If oil has ignited, switch off and unplug appliance immediately then
cover it with dense (inflammable if available) cloth.
· NEVER QUENCH A FIRE WITH WATER!
USING YOUR DEEP FRYER
· Before first using, remove the frying basket, oil tank and lid. Wash
these by hand in hot soapy water. Wipe the exterior and interior of the
body with a damp cloth.
REMOVING THE BASKET
· The convenient basket handle allows the operator to rise or lower the
basket into the oil with the closed lid.
OPENING THE LID
· To unlock the detachable lid press button, so spring-loaded lid will rise
up.
REMOVING THE LID
· For easy cleaning, lift the lid to the vertical position, and remove from
the housing with a straight upward "pull".
ERATURE PILOT LIGHT
· It will light automatically while the temperature keeps rising, and go out
when the set temperature is reached.
POWER PILOT LIGHT
· It will light automatically when appliance is switched on.
FRYING
· Pour ~2.5 liters of good quality oil into the cooking vessel of the deep
fryer. The level of the oil must be between the two marks: MAX & MIN
on the wall of the vessel.
· Use only a good quality vegetable oil for deep-frying. Deep frying food
in butter, margarine, olive oil or animal fat is not recommended
because of lower smoking temperature.
· Plug in at the mains, set the thermostat to the required temperature
and timer - to the required cooking time.
· Plug in the appliance and set the thermostat to the required
temperature.
· The indicator light will go out when the set temperature is reached.
· With the basket outside the deep fryer add the products (as dry as
possible) into the basket and slowly lower the handle (which lowers the
basket and food into the oil). Close the lid.
· When food is cooked, lift the handle (this will lift the basket and food
out of the oil) and wait a few seconds before opening the lid. This
allows the steam pressure to subside and drain oil, but care should still
be taken when opening the lid, as some steam may still release.
· Open the lid, remove the basket from the fryer, and empty the food.
· Set the temperature dial to the minimum position.
· Unplug the appliance.
TIMER
· This feature allows you to set up to 99 min. timer. When the unit is in
stand by mode, press Set button to start cooking for 1 minute. Each
next pressing will prolong cooking time for 1 minute. The appliance will
start operating in 2 seconds after timer preset.
· To cancel timer preset press On/reset button.
· The display will show remaning time in minutes if the coocking time is
more than 1 minute.
· The display will show remaning time in seconds if the coocking time is
less than 1 minute.
· After a processing has completed, the heating element will be switched
off the display will start blinking and the sound signal will ring every 3
times during the next 20 seconds with an interval of 10 seconds. To
switch off a sound signal, press any button.
FRY GUIDE
· Place uniform sized products into the basket so that they were fried
evenly.
· Select the temperature for deep-frying, taking into account the food to
be cooked. As a guide, foods that have been precooked in some way
need a higher temperature and less cooking time than products, which
are completely raw.
