 OPERATION

WARNING:
Always unplug the deep fryer from the wall socket before assembling/disassembling, filling/emptying the oil tank, cleaning, and after use.

ASSEMBLING THE DEEP FRYER

Make sure that the lid (1) is assembled to the base unit (9), and the filter and filter cover are properly assembled in place (→ 6.1 DISASSEMBLING THE LID AND FILTER FOR CLEANING).

 USING THE DEEP FRYER

1. Place the deep fryer on a flat, stable and heat-resistant surface.

2. Press the Lid release button (5) to open the lid.

3.  Press the Handle release button (12) and unfold the handle of the frying basket until it “clicks” into the usage position.

4. Remove the frying basket (10), fill it with prepared food and set aside. Do not exceed 2/3 of the basket.

5. Fill the oil tank (4) with fresh cooking oil up to the “MAX” level mark. Do not fill below the “MIN” or above the “MAX” level marked inside the oil tank.
   NOTE:

   • Only fill the oil tank with cooking oil. Do not fill any other liquids, such as water, milk or coffee.
   •  Do not fill solid fats in the oil tank to avoid fire or overheating the appliance. Solid fats must be completely melted before adding into the oil tank.
   •  Always use oil that can withstand high temperature.
   • Do not mix different types of oil. Avoid adding fresh oil to used oil.
     WARNING:
     Never use the deep fryer without oil in the tank. It may result in overheating, fire or damage to the appliance.

6.  Close the lid (1).

7. Ensure the Thermostat Control (8) is moved to “OFF”, then plug the power cord into the wall socket.

8.  Slide the Thermostat Control (8) to the desired temperature (OFF-130-160-170- 180- 190 °C), according to the type of food being fried. The HEATING indicator light (6) will illuminate when the appliance is heating up the oil to the set temperature, and will go off when the set temperature is reached.

9.  When the HEATING indicator light (6) goes off, press the Lid release button (5) to open the lid, and lower the frying basket (10) slowly into the oil tank (4) to avoid splashes or overflowing.

10.  Close the lid.
    NOTE:

    •  During frying, the HEATING indicator light will cycle on and off. This is normal and indicates that the appliance is automatically maintaining the set temperature.
    •  The appliance may emit a large amount of steam at the beginning of the cooking process. This is due to the water content of the food and moisture on the surface of the food. The steam may escape from the air vents (3). As the food cooks, the surface dehydrates rapidly to leave a crispy skin.

11. When the food is cooked, slide the Thermostat Control (8) to “OFF”.

12. Wear heat-resistant gloves. To prevent the lid from opening too quickly, hold the front top of the lid with one hand and then press the Lid release button (5). The lid will flip-open automatically.
    CAUTION:
    Beware of escaping hot steam or oil splattering.

13.  Lift the frying basket and hook it on the rim of the oil tank with the drain hook (11) to drain excess oil, and transfer the food to a plate lined with kitchen paper.

14. Once finished using the appliance, slide the Thermostat Control (8) to “OFF” and unplug the power cord from the wall socket.

15. Allow the deep fryer and oil to cool down for at least 3 hours before emptying and cleaning (→ “6. CLEANING AND CARE”).

WARNING:
Never leave the deep fryer unattended while it is plugged or cooling down. Serious hot oil burns may result from a deep fryer being accidentally pulled off a countertop. Keep children and pets away at all times. Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of the counter where it may be grabbed by children or accidentally tripped by anyone.
RISK OF FIRE: Overheated oil or fat can ignite very quickly. Never leave heating oil or fat unsupervised. Should the oil ignite, do not try to put it out by pouring water on it. Cover the oil tank with a lid or plate immediately. Turn off and unplug the fryer, and allow the oil to cool down in the appliance.

FRYING GUIDE

Use this table or the frying guide printed on the appliance as a general guidance. Always check that food is thoroughly cooked. The frying temperature and time may vary depending on the size and portion of the food, adjust as required.

 FRYING TIPS

•  Cut foods such as chips into the same size, and choose similar sized pieces of fish and chicken.
•  Before deep frying, make sure that food is as dry as possible. Use kitchen paper to absorb excess moisture from foods, such as fish, meats and vegetables.
•  Set the Thermostat Control to the minimum temperature while waiting between two batches.
•  Do not leave the frying basket with food hooked in the draining position for too long. The vapours could cause the food to lose its crispness and go soft.
•  Do not heat the oil at high temperatures for long periods. This will cause the oil to lose its properties.
• Replace deep frying oil frequently. If the oil is very dark, cloudy, emits an unpleasant odour, smokes excessively or foams when heated, it should be discarded safely.

WARNING:
Do not add water, wet foods or icy frozen foods to the appliance as this will cause the oil to splatter and can lead to burns.

CLEANING AND CARE

WARNING:
Before disassembling/cleaning, unplug the deep fryer and allow the oil to cool down completely in the appliance.

• Do not immerse the base unit (9), oil tank (4), power cord or plug in water or any other liquids. Do not rinse them under the tap as they contain electrical components. Do not let water get inside.

 DISASSEMBLING THE LID AND FILTER FOR CLEANING

1. Press the Lid release button (5) to open the lid.

2.  To remove the lid, press the 2 prongs on both sides of the hinge towards the back and pull the lid upwards.

3. To remove the filter cover, press the clip in the direction of the arrow and slide it out. Then remove the filter .

4. To re-assemble after cleaning, reverse the above steps.

CLEANING

•  Clean the deep fryer after each use.
• Never use solvents, chemical or abrasive cleaning agents, wire brushes, sharp objects or scouring pads to clean the appliance.
• To discard the oil, carefully lift the base unit (9) and pour the cold oil into a disposable bottle with the help of a funnel. Wipe off any remaining oil in the oil tank with kitchen paper. Dispose of the oil in an environmentally safe way. Never pour the oil into drains. Contact your local recycling centre for advice on the disposal of the oil.
•  Base unit (9) and oil tank (4) – Wipe with a soft cloth lightly moistened with water or warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly. The oil tank is permanent and not removable.
•  Frying basket (10), lid (1), filter and cover – After removing them, clean in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before re-assembling to the base unit.
•  Fully assemble the appliance before using or storing. Store the frying basket inside the appliance and press the Handle release button (12) to fold down the handle.
