BEFORE THE FIRST USE

Take the appliance and accessories out the box. Remove the stickers, protective foil or plastic from the device.
Place the device on a flat stable surface and ensure a minimum of 10 cm. free space around the device. This device is not suitable for installation in a cabinet or for outside use.
Before using your appliance for the first time, wipe off all removable parts with a damp cloth. Never use abrasive products.
Put the power cable into the socket. (Note: Make sure the voltage which is indicated on the device matches the local voltage before connecting the device. Voltage 220V-240V 50/60Hz)
This type of fryer is only suitable for use with oil or liquid fat, and not for solid fat.
Using solid fat entails the risk of trapping water in the fat which will cause it to spatter violently when heated up.
Ensure that the oil/fat is not contaminated with water, for example from frozen products, this will cause excessive spattering.
Never use the fryer without oil or fat as this will damage the appliance.
Never pour any liquid, such as water, in the pan. Considerations for using the fryer – DO
Only use the fryer for frying food.
Only use oil or grease that is suitable for frying. Check the packaging if the fat or oil is suitable for this fryer.
Be careful when frying, make sure the fryer is used safely by keeping enough distance between the user and the device. Make sure that people who needs extra help or supervision can’t reach the fryer.
Change the oil or fat when too much water is in it. You can recognize the high concentration of water in the oil or fat by large bubbles and water droplets, water vapor or rapid rise in oil or fat. If the oil concentration in the fryer is too high, there will be a chance, that the fat or oil will come out with an explosion, which can be very dangerous for those who use the fryer and those who are near the fryer.
Remove all ice (molecules) on frozen foods. Make sure that fried foods will be thawed first, by laying the food on a dry clean towel. Dab the food with the towel when the majority of the ice is melted.
Let the fryer cool down uncovered in order to prevent condensation. Keep the fryer in a dry, safe place.
Be patient and wait until the fryer reaches the correct temperature.

Considerations for using the fryer – DON’T

Never store or place the bowl outside or in a damp place. Keep your fryer away from rain or moisture.
Do not place food in the fryer when it is warming. Have patience and wait until the fryer have reached the right temperature.
Do not fry too much food at once.
Never cover the bowl and the filter.
Do not add water to the fat or oil.

USE

Assemble the control panel into the oil container. Make sure the control panel is secured properly otherwise the device will not power on.
Make sure the temperature control knob is set to the OFF or 0 position.
Fill the appliance with the required amount of oil or fat. Ensure that the appliance is filled at least to the minimum level and not higher than the maximum level, as indicated on the inside of the fryer. For optimal results, we advise avoiding mixing different types of oil.
NOTE: When there is not enough oil in the oil container, the device shuts off automatically. Remove the plug from the power socket and press the restart button at the back of the control panel to restart the device.
Select the temperature with the temperature switch on the control panel for the food you wish to fry. Put the plug of the device into the outlet.
The red and green indicator lights will turn on.
NOTE: The green ready light will cycle On and Off with the thermostat to maintain the set temperature. The red power light will remain illuminated throughout use.
Use the handle to lift the basket from the fryer.
Place the food to be fried in the basket. For the best results, the food should be dry before being placed in the basket. Immerse the basket into the oil or fat slowly to prevent the oil from bubbling up too strongly. To ensure the oil stays at the correct temperature, the thermostat will switch on and off.
Lift the basket when the frying time has elapsed and hang it on the hook in the pan so the oil can drip off.
WARNING: do not touch the control knob or lid during the frying process.
Hot steam may be released and may cause injury.
Please check the packaging of the food you wish to fry to set the right temperature and estimated frying time.
After the food is fried:
Make sure to turn the temperature control knob to the Off position and unplug the deep fryer.
Once the food is done cooking, remove the lid, hang the basket on the hook and let excess oil drip into the oil container.
WARNING: Removing the lid will release hot steam. Take extreme care when handling. Keep your face and bare skin clear of the steam release.
Take out the basket and place the food on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Do not touch the basket while it is still hot. Always use the handle.
After the excess oil has drained, place the food on a paper towel-lined baking sheet to allow any remaining oil to drain away.
Place the basket into the deep fryer.
Do not move the deep fryer until it is cooled entirely.

Changing the oil

Make sure the fryer and the oil or fat have cooled down before changing the oil or fat (remove the plug of the device from the socket). Change the oil regularly. This is particularly necessary when the oil or fat goes dark or the smell changes. Always change the oil after 5-6 frying sessions.
Change the oil in one go. Never mix old and new oil.
Used oil is harmful to the environment. Do not dispose of it with your normal rubbish but follow the guidelines issued by the local authorities.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning, unplug the appliance and wait for the appliance to cool down.
Remove the lid and basket.
Remove the oil container and pour out the oil. It is recommended to filter the oil after each use if you are to re-use the oil again.
After removing the oil container, the fryer can be divided into several separate assemblies to clean.
The removeable oil container can immerse into water to clean.
The control box and heating element should be wiped clean with absorbent paper towels. Then use a damp cloth and a mild soap to clean.
