BEFORE THE FIRST USE

• Take the appliance and accessories out of box. Remove the stickers, protective foil or plastic from the device.
- Slide the heating elements (No. 4) correctly in the recess of the outer shell (No. 8). If the heating elements are not properly attached, the unit will not switch on for security reasons.
- 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. Also 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.

USE

• Wash the baskets (No. 3), the lids (No.1) and the oil bowls (No. 5) in warm water. Dry them well before use. Ensure that all electrical parts remain completely dry.
• 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 advice to avoid mixing different types of oil.
• Use the temperature button (no. 5) on the control panel to select the desired temperature.
• Put the plug of the device into the outlet. The green indicator (No. 6) will turn on as soon as the desired temperature has been reached.
• Use the handle (no. 2) 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. The green indicator light (No. 6) will simultaneously go 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.

RESTART

In case of overheating, the fryer will switch off automatically. This safety mechanism can be found at the back of the electrical part. If it switches off, it can be reactivated by pressing in the button with a long pointed object. The button is situated behind the hole. First remove the plug of the device from the socket.

CONSIDERATIONS FOR USING THE FRYER

Do

• Only use the fryer for household appliance.
• 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.
• Ensure the level of the fat or oil is higher than the minimum and less than the maximum, so between the minimum and maximum lines. If there is too much fat or oil in the fryer, it may be overflow.
• 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 need extra help or supervision can not reach the fryer.
• Have patience and wait until the fryer has reached the right temperature.
• Change the oil or fat when it is brown, smells dirty or smoke in the beginning.
• 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.
• Change the oil or fat after 8 to maximum 10 times use.
• Remove all ice (molecules) on frozen foods. Make sure that fried food will be thawed first, by placing it on a dry and clean towel. Dab the food with the towel when the majority of ice is melted.
• Make sure there is enough space around the fryer when you use it.
• Let the fryer cool down uncovered in order to prevent condensation. Keep the fryer in a dry, safe place.
• Keep your fryer away from rain or moisture.

Do not

• Never store or place the bowl outside or in a damp place.
• Do not place food in the fryer when it is warming.
• Do not fry too much food at once.
• Never cover the bowl and the filter.
• Do not add water to the fat or oil.

FRYING TIPS

• Use a maximum of 200 grams of chips per litre of oil.
• When using frozen products, use a maximum of 100 grams because the oil cools off rapidly. Shake frozen products above the sink to remove excess ice.
• When fresh chips are used, dry the chips after washing them to ensure no water gets into the oil. Fry the chips in two turns. First time (blanch) 5 to 10 minutes at 170 degrees. Second time (finishing) 2 to 4 minutes at 175 degrees. Allow the oil to drip off.

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 every 10 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

• Remove the plug of the device from the outlet. Make sure the fryer has cooled down completely.
• Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquid. All the non-electrical parts can be washed in warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly before reusing. These parts are not dishwasher save. Clean the outside of the fryer with a damp cloth and dry it with a soft, clean towel. Never use abrasive detergents.
