What does the ready light indicate?

The green 'ready' light illuminates when the oil reaches the set temperature. It may cycle on and off to maintain temperature.

The Fryer

Control Panel

Before using your fryer for the first time, follow the below procedures.

Remove ALL packing materials from between the Oil Tank and the Fryer Casing before use!

1. Lift out oil tank, remove cardboard packing.
2. Check all packing is removed and then replace oil tank.

1. Wash the fryer components.
2. Wash the lid and the frying basket by hand in warm soapy water. Rinse and allow to dry.
3. Pour warm soapy water into the oil tank and wash it with a damp cloth. Rinse with fresh hot water and dry well.
4. Wipe the exterior of the fryer with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the body of the fryer in water.
5. Make sure that the oil tank is fitted securely into the fryer casing.
6. Slide in and attach the control panel and heater to the fryer casing.

Automatic Safety Switch

The automatic safety switch ensures that the fryer will not operate unless the control panel has been fitted correctly into the fryer casing.

Assembling the Frying Basket

1. Push the ends of the wire prongs together.
2. Insert the prongs into wire hoops inside the frying basket.

1. Lift the handle upwards and lock it into position.

1. Fill the oil tank with oil between the MIN and MAX level marks shown on the inside of the oil tank. Check the oil level before using the fryer on each separate occasion.

- 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 oil tank.

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

1. Plug the fryer into the mains socket. The POWER indicator will light up.
2. Adjust the temperature control to the desired setting. The WORKING indicator will light up.
3. Wait until the WORKING indicator turns off (indicating that the fryer has reached the set temperature) before lowering the food into the oil.
4. Place the food to be cooked (which should be as dry as possible) in the frying basket. Always have the frying basket in the raised position when filling it with food. Do not overfill the frying basket.

1. Using the handle CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY, lower the frying basket of food into the oil tank (be careful not to touch any metal parts of the fryer as they may be hot).

The basket is designed to rest on the cooking elements.

1. Cook the food according to the time suggested in the frying guide in the Frying Guidelines section, the packaging of the food or in the recipe. Adjust cooking time according to personal taste. You can check the progress of the cooking by raising the frying basket using the handle.

During frying you may hear slight clicking noises and you may see the WORKING indicator going on and off several times. This indicates that the temperature is being maintained and is quite normal.

1. Once the food is thoroughly cooked, raise the frying basket and wait a few seconds to let the steam subside.

1. Shake the frying basket slightly to remove excess oil and transfer the food carefully to a heat-proof utensil.
2. Place the frying basket back into the fryer and close the lid.
3. Adjust the temperature control to MIN. Switch off the mains socket and then UNPLUG THE FRYER. Now leave the fryer to completely cool down (approx. 3 hours) before cleaning.

Allow time for your fryer to heat up to the proper temperature again if you are frying more than one basket of food.

Resetting the Safety Thermostat

Reset the safety thermostat if excessive temperatures are reached (normally due to low levels of oil used).

1. Unplug the fryer from the mains socket and allow time for the fryer to completely cool down.
2. Check the oil level. If it is below the minimum level, oil should be added before setting the fryer and resuming cooking cycles.
3. To reset the safety thermostat, slide out the control panel and heater unit from the fryer casing. Use a small screwdriver to press in the reset button at the control element.

Ensure the fryer is cool before attempting to reset the safety thermostat.

Cooking Home-Battered Foods

This method requires extreme care.

1. Coat the food in batter and leave it to drain to remove any excess batter.
2. Ensure the correct cooking temperature has been reached.

When Cooking Has Been Completed

Return the frying basket to the fryer, turn the temperature control to the MIN. Switch off the mains socket and unplug the fryer. Pull out the mains cable and store the mains cable in the mains cable storage. Now leave the appliance to completely cool before cleaning.

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

Frying Guidelines

The frying times stated below are guides only. Frying times will vary depending on the amount of food, the size of the food pieces, the spacing of the food in the frying basket, the freshness of the food, and personal taste. As you become familiar with your fryer, you can adjust cooking times to suit your personal preference. For larger or smaller quantities, adjust the time accordingly.

Food Type Temp Time (minutes)
Shrimp 130°C 2-4 minutes
Mushrooms 150°C 3-5 minutes
Crumbed Chicken 180°C 10-12 minutes
Fish Cakes 160°C 3-5 minutes
Fillets 170°C 5 minutes
Onions 170°C 2-4 minutes
French Fries 190°C 8-10 minutes
Potato Chips 190°C 10-15 minutes

*Preheating at 190°C will normally take about 8-9 minutes.

Cleaning the Fryer

Clean your fryer thoroughly after every use once your fryer has completely cooled down.

Unplug the fryer from the mains socket and allow time for the fryer to cool down.

Cleaning the Frying Basket

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

Cleaning the Lid

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

Cleaning the Oil Tank

Ensure the fryer has completely cooled down, 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.

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

If you are using solid fat

Remove the frying 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.

Cleaning the Fryer Casing

Wipe the exterior of the fryer with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the body of the fryer in water.

When all the Components are Cleaned and Dried

Re-assemble the fryer. Store the fryer safely in a cool dry place out of the reach of children.

Filtering and Changing the Oil

Make sure the fryer is unplugged and has completely cooled down. On average, oil can be used 8 to 12 separate times before it needs to be changed. If you are frying fish or battered foods then you will need to change the oil more often. Filter the oil to get rid of any food that has fallen through the frying basket and into the oil.

Storing the Oil

Store the oil in an air tight container at room temperature away from heat and light sources.

Mains Cable Storage

Wrap the mains cable loosely and place into the mains cable storage space at the back of the fryer.

Storing the Fryer

The fryer can be stored in its box but do not store anything else on top of the box.

Hints and Tips

• Use a recommended oil – do not mix oils or fats. • Take into account the type of food when you set the frying temperature. Generally, pre-cooked 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. - 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 a well-ventilated area. 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.
