Positioning the Fryer

• Site your family fryer on a firm, flat, heat-resistant work surface. Steam given off by the cooking process may mark or damage anything above or around the fryer, ensure these areas are kept clear.
• In order to avoid possible fire hazards, keep the area above and around the fryer clear. Leave a clear space all around the fryer, and keep it as far back from the front edge of the work surface as possible.
• Do not put the fryer or the mains cable close to any other cooking or heating appliance.
• Place the fryer close to a switched mains socket. Do NOT use mains sockets without switches or extensions.

Preparation

Before using your fryer for the first time, you should carefully wash the appliance.

Open the lid by pushing the button marked OPEN. The lid is spring loaded and will open automatically. Remove the frying basket and the lid.

1. Remove the frying basket

You may raise and lower the basket with the lid open or shut. Carefully lift up the handle of the frying basket until it latches into position.

Only when the handle is in the locked position should you remove the basket!

Holding the basket

NEVER place your thumb on the button when moving the basket as the basket may release unexpectedly and spill any contents.

Cooking with the Fryer

Cooking with the fryer is a two part process.

First the tank must be filled with the correct amount of oil and be preheated to the correct temperature. Only when this process is complete should you proceed to the COOKING stage.

PART 1

1. Fill the Tank with Oil

• On the inside of the oil tank at the back, there are two marks MIN and MAX. Pour in sufficient oil to reach the MAX marks. Do not overfill.
• The maximum capacity of the tank is 1.8 litres. There should always be sufficient oil in the tank to cover the MIN mark.
• Corn oil, sunflower oil, ground nut oil and vegetable oil are all suitable for use with the fryer. If you wish you may use solid vegetable fat but this is much more difficult to handle. Solid fat should be melted in a separate pan before transferring it to the tank.

Do not use margarine, butter or olive oil. Do not mix different oils and fats.

- Lightly smear the viewing window with a little oil. This will prevent it from getting fogged by condensation and allow you to view the food while it cooks.

2. Replace the frying basket

Hold the basket as described earlier. Align the groove in the basket handle over the raised lip at the front of the fryer and press down to make sure the basket is firmly seated.

3. Close the lid

Close the lid of the fryer by pressing down at both sides. This will prevent steam from escaping.

4. Lower the basket into the oil

Pull back the button on the handle to release the catch and fold the handle down.

5. Plug the fryer into the mains

Plug the fryer into the mains socket and switch on the power at the mains.

6. Preheat the Oil

Preheating will take 15 minutes.

Do not omit the Preheating process!

• Set the correct oil temperature for the food - the frying guide on page 11 will assist you.
• Set the timer to the 15 minute mark. The POWER indicator will light on. After 15 minutes a bell will ring and the POWER indicator will go off.

When using for the first time, the fryer may emit a slight odour. This is harmless and quite normal. The odour will cease after a very short time.

PART 2 - Cooking

1. Raise the basket and lock it in the raised position
2. Open the fryer lid
3. Place the food into the raised basket

Place the food to be cooked (which should be as dry as possible) in the basket. Always have the basket in the raised position when filling it with food. Do not overfill the basket.

1. Set the Cooking Timer

Set the time for cooking the food according to the frying guide on page 12. The POWER indicator will light on.

1. Close the fryer lid

2. Lower the filled basket into the oil

Lower the filled basket into the oil by slowly returning the handle to the recessed position, as described earlier.

Cooking Home-Battered Foods

This alternative method requires extreme care.

• If you place wet batter in the basket prior to cooking, the food may stick. Coat the food in batter and leave it to drain slightly to remove any excess.
• Ensure the correct cooking temperature has been reached. Set the frying time but leave the basket in the lowered position.
• Open the lid of the fryer.

Hints on Using your Fryer

• Use a recommended oil - do not mix oils or fats.
  • Take into account the type of food when you set the frying temperature. Generally, precooked foods need a higher cooking temperature than raw foods.
• If you need to add oil, do so between batches. Allow a short time for the oil to heat up to the right temperature.
• Use the timer to help you cook food for the correct time.
• Ensure there is enough room to open the appliance lid and operate the frying basket.
• Cook food thoroughly. Remember that food may turn golden brown before it has cooked through.
• Use the fryer in well ventilated conditions. All food contains moisture which turns to steam during frying. Most of this steam escapes through the filter in the lid.
• Do not lean over the fryer when cooking food or when opening the lid.
• Check the progress of the food during cooking by raising the basket using the handle and view the food through the viewing window.

When the Food is Cooked

• After the preset cooking time has elapsed, a bell will ring and the POWER indicator will go off.
- Raise the basket and wait a few seconds to let the steam subside. Now open the lid fully. Be careful as there may be steam in the fryer.
- Shake the basket slightly to remove excess oil and transfer the food carefully to a heatproof utensil. Hold the handle as described on page 6.
- Return the basket to the fryer and close the lid.

If the food is not fully cooked: Close the lid, lower the basket into the oil, add some extra time on the timer and continue the cooking process.

When Cooking has been Completed

Return the basket to the fryer, set the Timer knob to OFF, switch off the mains socket and unplug the fryer. Now leave the appliance to cool fully before cleaning.

If you are using solid fat, remove the basket from the fryer before the fat in the tank solidifies. Wash the basket in hot soapy water. Use great care as the fat may splatter when it comes into contact with the water. Alternatively, leave the basket on a heatproof surface to cool after removing it from the fryer.

Cleaning the fryer

Cleaning should be carried out when the fryer is unplugged from the mains socket and the timer is switched to OFF. The fryer and the oil should be completely cool. When cleaning, avoid the use of abrasive cleaning materials as these may damage the fryer surfaces.

Remove the basket from the fryer. Remove the lid, and remove the filter from the grease trap. For guidance on removing and repositioning these items see page 6-7.

1. Two-piece Filter

Remove the filter before cleaning the lid. Lift and remove the grease trap cover. Refer to page 7. Remove the two filters and check their condition. The filters can be used about fifty times before replacement. This depends on the nature of the food and the period of cooking.

2. Cleaning the basket

The basket and handle should be washed in warm soapy water, rinsed and dried.

3. Cleaning the fryer lid

The lid and the grease trap cover should also be washed in warm soapy water, rinsed and dried.

4. Cleaning the Oil Tank

Ensure the fryer is fully cool, the lid has been removed and the fryer is unplugged. Carefully lift and tilt the fryer to the left and pour the oil off into a suitable receptacle from the left rear corner. (If you are left-handed use the right corner.) Pour warm soapy water into the tank and wash it well. Rinse in fresh water and allow to dry.

Note: If you intend to re-use the oil, then make sure you filter it well.

If you are using solid fat

Remove the basket before the fat has cooled. Remove as much of the cooled fat as possible with a plastic spatula before washing the tank. Ensure the washing water is hot enough to remove all traces of fat from the tank. When washing the oil tank ensure you do not damage the interior surface.

Wipe the body of the fryer with a damp cloth and dry well. Never immerse the body in any liquid.

5. When all the components are cleaned and dried

Re-assemble the fryer. Replace the filters in the correct order with the white one underneath and the charcoal filter on top.

Store the fryer safely in a cool dry place out of the reach of children and pets.

6. Storing the oil

You may store filtered, cooled oil in the fryer. Solid fat must not be stored in the fryer.
