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".
· The lid is fitted with permanent filter system, which collects drops of oil and fumes from the steam as it passes through the filter. After several
cooking sessions, approximately 60 times, the filter should be replaced.
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.
· Press On/Off (POWER) button to start frying.
· 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.
· Do not add liquids or wet food to cooking oil, even small amount of water will cause oil to spatter.
· Be sure to dry all products before frying.
· 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.
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.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
· The power supply should be disconnected before cleaning.
· Make sure the appliance and the oil are completely cool.
WARNING:
· Oil or fat retains its temperature for a long while after use.
· Oil should be filtered after each use.
· Detach the lid, wash and dry it.
· After draining the oil, the fryer should be wiped out with absorbent paper then with a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid and finally with dry
cloth.
· Remove oil tank, wash and dry it.
· The exterior can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
· Never use abrasives, organic solvents and aggressive chemicals.
