Frequently Asked Questions - RM/457 Ramtons

What type of oil should I use in the RM/457 deep fryer?

Use fresh peanut, groundnut, vegetable, or rapeseed oil. Do not use margarine or butter. For solid fat, melt it gently in a separate pan before adding to the oil tank.

How do I clean the deep fryer after use?

Unplug and let it cool completely. Empty the oil, then remove the oil tank, basket, and filter cover. Wash them in warm soapy water. The oil tank can be fully immersed, but must be dried thoroughly. Wipe the body with a warm wet cloth. Never immerse the main body in water.

Why does the deep fryer emit odor on first use?

It is normal. Fill the tank with water to MAX and heat at lowest temperature for about 10 minutes. Let it cool, then clean all parts thoroughly. The odor will not recur after a few uses.

What should I do if the fryer turns off automatically?

The dry protection feature may have activated if you operated without oil. Unplug the appliance, let it cool completely, then check the oil level. Ensure there is oil before restarting.

How do I lower the frying basket safely?

Push the release button backward on the handle to fold down the handle, which lowers the basket. To lift, raise the handle until a click indicates it is locked. Always lower slowly to avoid oil splashes.

Can I open the lid during frying?

It is not recommended because steam may cause burns. If you need to check, raise the basket first and wait a few seconds. When finished, always raise the basket and wait before opening the lid.

How much food can I put in the basket?

Do not fill more than 2/3 of the basket volume. For chips, do not exceed 600g. For battered foods, pack tightly to prevent slipping through the mesh.

What is the correct way to preheat the fryer?

Plug in, set the timer for preheating, and adjust the temperature. The ready indicator will light up when the set temperature is reached. Then place food in the basket and lower it.

How do I detach the lid for cleaning?

Open the lid, hold both sides, align the toggles with the slots, and pull out. To reattach, insert the toggles into the slots and press down.

What should I do if the power cord is damaged?

Discontinue use immediately. The cord must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a similarly qualified person to avoid hazard.

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

KNOW YOUR DEEP FRYER

HOW TO USE YOUR DEEP FRYER

For the first use, the oil tank and basket may emit odor. This is normal and will not occur again after several uses. It is suggested to remove the odor according to the following instructions: fill water to the MAX mark, heat it for about 10 minutes at the lowest temperature, let it cool down completely, then clean all parts thoroughly.

WARNING: wipe the water droplets on the oil tank and frying basket completely before filling oil! Before use, always ensure that the oil tank is positioned correctly.

1. Press the open lid button, the lid of the deep fryer will open automatically.
2. Lift the handle to horizontal position, then take out the frying basket.
3. Fill oil into the oil tank. It is suggested to use fresh peanut, groundnut, vegetable, or rapeseed oil. If preferred, you may use a good quality solid fat, but remember never to put the solid fat into the oil tank directly. Alternatively, melt solid fat gently in a separate pan before transferring to the tank.

Note: oil level should be between MIN and MAX level.

1. Lightly smear the inside of the viewing window with either cold oil or fat, whichever can prevent condensation, so that you can view the cooking procedure.
2. Replace the frying basket, close the lid of the fryer by pressing both sides of the lid. This prevents steam from bursting and oil droplets from splashing.
3. Push the release button backward on the handle, then fold the handle. Lower the basket into the oil by returning the

Push the release button backward

handle to the recessed position.

Note: The handle can be folded down only by pushing the release button backward on the handle (see Fig.1). Put down the handle and the frying basket will be lowered. If you want to lift the frying basket to horizontal position, just raise the handle (see Fig.2). When the frying basket is locked to horizontal position, a click will be heard. It is recommended to repeat to raise and lower the basket for several times before first use.

1. Plug the appliance to proper power supply, turn the timer to set preheating time and the power indicator will illuminate, then set your desired temperature by sliding temperature control bar.
2. When the ready indicator has illuminated, it means that it has reached the preset temperature. Raise the frying basket and lock it into position, open the lid and place the food to be cooked, which should be as dry as possible or freezing, into the raised frying basket. The frying basket should always be in the raised position when filling food.
3. Alternatively you do not need replace the frying basket, follow the below steps as a choice instead of step 5, step 6, step 7, step 8:

(1) Close the lid of the fryer by pressing both sides of the lid, this prevents steam from bursting and oil droplet from splashing.

(2) Plug the appliance to proper power supply, turn the timer to set preheating

time and the power indicator will illuminate, then set your desired temperature by sliding temperature control bar.

(3) Place food into the frying basket. The food should be as dry as possible or frozen. (4) After the ready indicator has illuminated, open the lid, and replace the frying basket with food into the appliance.

Note: It is strongly recommended that the food added to the frying basket should not exceed 2/3 of the basket's volume. (For chips, it should not exceed 600g.)

Note: For home-battered foods, pack the raw food well and allow it to drain slightly to remove excess water. Lower the food packed slowly into the frying basket using a suitable implement or tongs. This allows the batter to become a whole piece and prevents it from slipping out through the mesh of the basket.

Warning: Operate carefully as small oil droplets may splash out!

1. To avoid scalding, cover the lid, and then lower the frying basket into the oil.
2. Set the frying time and frying temperature again. It will begin to fry.

Note: When frying chips, because they contain much water, oil droplets may splash out when lowering the frying basket into the oil. To avoid injury, raise the frying basket above the oil surface after lowering it for a few seconds, then lower it again. Repeat this step about 4 or 5 times until the water has reduced obviously, then place the frying basket completely into the tank.

1. There will be lots of steam coming out when frying, so be careful not to touch

the filter cover. You can check the progress during cooking by raising the handle to a horizontal position and viewing through the viewing window. If the food is fried well, you can turn the timer to the off position to end the cooking procedure. It is suggested not to open the lid when frying to avoid injury from steam.

1. Once your food has been cooked, there will be a ring for prompt. Raise the basket and wait a few seconds before opening the lid. This allows the steam pressure to subside, but you should still be careful when opening the lid, as some steam may still be released.
2. Take out the food, and add some dressing according to your taste. Now you can serve.

OPERATING DRY PROTECTION

The appliance has an operating dry protection feature. If you forget to place oil in the oil tank and operate it, the temperature of the tank will rise rapidly and the operating dry protection switch will work to cut off the power source automatically, so the fire hazard caused by further heating can be avoided. Under this circumstance, please keep calm, unplug the power source, and let the appliance cool down completely. The appliance can work normally now. This will cause damage to the appliance if it happens often. It is recommended to check first if there is oil in the deep fryer.
