COOKING REFERENCE
Note: Keep in mind that these settings are only intended for reference purposes. As ingredients differ in size, shape, weight, and consistency, we cannot guarantee that the times outlined below represent the best settings for your specific ingredients.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Using the handle, remove the basket from the oil pot.

2. Pour the oil into the fryer. The level of oil must be between the MAX and MIN level marked on the surface of the pot.
   NOTE: Use only good-quality vegetable oil or all-purpose shortening for deep frying. Butter, margarine, olive oil or animal fat is not recommended due to its lower smoking temperatures.

3. Smear the viewing window with a little oil.

4. Plug the appliance into the mains and set the thermostat to the required temperature (see the cooking reference above). The temperature light will go out when the set temperature has been reached.

5. Add food (as dry as possible) into the basket. Do not overload the basket. Place food of uniform size into the basket for an even cooking result.
   NOTE: Do not add water or wet foods to the cooking oil. Even small amounts of water will cause the oil to spatter.

6. Place the basket back into the fryer and close the lid.

7. After cooking, turn off the thermostat knob and press the LID-RELEASE BUTTON to open the lid.
   Lift the basket out of the oil to drain and then serve.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

1. Fully remove the appliance from the power supply before cleaning.

2. Cool the oil completely. Oil or fat retains its temperature for a long time after use.
   Do not attempt to move or carry the fryer while it is still hot.

3. Oil can be reused several times. Get the maximum use from your fryer by always having it ready for use. One way of doing this is to store the cooled and strained oil inside the fryer ready for the next frying session with the lid acting as a dust cover.

4. Oil should be filtered after each use.

5. After draining the oil, the fryer should be wiped down, first with absorbent paper and then with a cloth dampened with a little detergent. Finally, dry the appliance with a clean, dry cloth.
