BEFORE USE DIRECTIONS FOR USE

This appliance is designed for household and indoor use only. If the fryer is used for the first time, follow the cleaning instructions and clean the deep fryer first. Lift up the basket and remove it from the fryer. Pour good quality corn or groundnut oil into the oil tank until it reaches between the “MTN” and “MAX” oil level mark indicated on the tank. Never operate the fryer without oil or insufficient oil in the oil tank. Put the knob of the thermostat to O (warming up) and let the grease melt. Put the basket back into the oil tank and close the lid of the fryer. Plug in the electrical outlet with the alternating current and voltage supply specified for the appliance 230 VAC 50 Hz 2000 W. Switch on the deep fryer by pressing the main switch to position “1”. The green indicator light will turn on showing the appliance is connected to power. Rotate the temperature control knob to the temperature of the food to be cooked. The red indicator light will turn on and the heating element will heat up the oil. When the temperature of the oil is reached, the red indicator light will turn off and the power supplied to the heating element is cut automatically. The fryer is ready for frying. When the oil temperature drops, the heating element and the pilot light will switch on again automatically. Open the lid and raise the basket to rest on the hook located in the oil tank. Place the food which should be as dry as possible into the basket. Put the basket gently into the oil for frying and close the lid. The frying time and temperature chart below is for reference only and should be adjusted for different quantity of food and your own taste: Table of frying: Adjust the thermostat to the desired temperature 170° or 190°.

This allows the excessive oil to drop into the oil tank. The food is then ready for serve. To avoid early degradation of the oil, do not add salt or spices above the oil of during frying. When the frying is finished, switch off the fryer by rotating the temperature control knob to its minimum position and press the main switch to position “0”. Unplug the appliance to disconnect the power supply. There is a reset button for safety limitation on the bottom of heater assembly. The safety limitation prevents the oil temperature from rising too high. If the fryer does not heat up, it is possible that the limitation is triggered and cut off the power supply. One of such situation is that the fryer has been operated without oil or insufficient oil in the oil tank. Pressing the reset button will put the safety limitation back to normal operation. There is also a protection device on the heater assembly to ensure that the fryer operates only when the heater assembly is seated properly on the fryer. Check the seating of the heater assembly if the fryer does not operate. CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS Always unplug the appliance and let the appliance and oil cool down to room temperature before cleaning.
