PRIOR TO FIRST USE

Read the safety instructions carefully.
Remove all packaging from the appliance and place it on a flat, stable surface, e.g. a kitchen counter, and at a safe distance from flammable objects.
The heating element can be immersed in water but should never be placed in the dishwasher. Never wet the ELECTRIC UNIT.
Clean the lid (11), bowl (1), basket (9), and Housing(7) using warm water and a little washing-up liquid, and dry the parts carefully. The parts can also be washed in a dishwasher.
Fit the heating element and the control panel (6 and 4) in the bowl by inserting the pins on the inside of the plastic unit down into the grooves on the rear of the bowl.
NOTE: The heating element must be pushed all the way down, to activate the safety switch. Otherwise, the unit may not be able to heat.
Fit the handle (10) onto the basket by clipping together the handle’s two metal braces, inserting them into the brackets on the inside of the basket, and tilting them in against the metal plate. Then loosen the grip on the metal braces, so they are firmly fixed in the bracket, and the black plastic on the handle is at right angles to the basket. Check that the handle is fitted correctly before you use the basket.

USE

Check that the deep fryer is switched off
Pour the required amount of oil into the bowl. Fill the oil to somewhere between the minimum and maximum level marks on the inside of the bowl. We recommend using liquid oil, which is recommended for deep fat frying.

Tip: You can use lard or other solid fat if you wish, but you will need to melt it first in the bowl. Set the temperature control to the lowest temperature and add the fat in small pieces. Only turn the temperature up to the desired level once the fat has melted.

Place the lid on the bowl.
Plug the fryer in, and the red power indicator lights up. Set it to the desired temperature by turning the temperature control.
The green heat indicator lights up and remains on while the deep fat fryer is heating up.
Once the deep fat fryer has reached the selected temperature, the heat indicator goes out.
The heat indicator comes on and goes off during use, which merely indicates that it is maintaining the selected temperature.
Do not add the food until the required temperature is reached.
Remove the lid from the deep fat fryer.
Place the food in the basket and lower it carefully into the bowl. Make sure the oil level does not rise to the edge of the bowl.
Always hold the basket handle firmly when fitting or removing the lid.
NOTE: The heating element must be pushed all the way down to activate the safety switch. Otherwise, the unit may not be able to heat.

Important!
Be careful, as the oil may spit. Take care when removing the lid, as hot steam may be released.
There is a non-auto resetting thermostat built in the product. If the deep fryer has been in use for a prolonged time, the built-in non-auto resetting thermostat will activate and cut off the current to protect the appliance from overheating.
Reset the thermostat by pushing the indicated button, after the heating element has cooled down, to enable the deep fryer to function normally again.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Unpleasant odor	The oil is old	Change the oil after 20 uses or if extremely

dark in color

TIPS FOR PREPARATION OF FOOD

Before lowering the basket

Always make sure that the food is dry before lowering it into the hot oil.
Ensure that the food is roughly the same size so that it cooks evenly. Avoid very thick pieces.
Some types of food should be breaded before being cooked in the deep fat fryer.
Make sure you remove as much ice as possible from frozen food. However, it does not need to be defrosted before cooking.
Do not fill the basket above the max mark on the metal plate under the handle.
The maximum quantity of deep-frozen French fried potatoes that can be fried at a time is 0.7kg.

Important!
The handle may be very hot after any prolonged period of use.

Allow the appliance to cool completely (1-2 hours).

Important! You must never move the appliance while it is hot, when there is oil in it, or if the lid has not been fitted.

HANDLING AND STORING THE OIL

Remove any food residues from the oil after use.
Filter the oil regularly.
The oil should be changed once it has been used approximately 10 times. All the oil should be changed at the same time; do not mix old and new oil. The old oil should be disposed of as per the relevant local regulations.
Keep the oil in the deep fat fryer or in an airtight container in a dry, cool, and dark place. (It is not necessary to keep the oil in a fridge).

CLEANING

Disconnect the mains plug.

Wait until the oil or fat is cold before cleaning. Solid fat should not be allowed to solidify completely.
The heating element with the control panel and cord must not be immersed in water. Remove the control panel and heating element before cleaning the appliance.
Once you have poured the oil out of the bowl, wipe the inside of the bowl with kitchen paper. Then wash the bowl thoroughly.
The housing, bowl, lid, and basket with handle can be washed in hot water and washing-up liquid or in a dishwasher.
Do not use any kind of strong or abrasive cleaning agent on the deep fat dryer or its accessories.
