a) Use of the machine

1. Instructions for Use

• For frying only use good quality vegetable oil. Do not use butter, margarine or olive oil.
- Never add water or wet food to the oil. Food that is too wet may make the oil boil and possible overflow.
- Do not overload the basket. Please adhere to the safety limit quantities.
• Makes sure that food of similar size is placed in the basket so that it cooks evenly.
- Dry all the food well before frying it.
• The fryer may reach a high temperature when in use. Avoid touching the hot surfaces.
• In hot oil only use metal utensils with insulated handles.

2. Selection of the cooking mode

The "PRG" button (2) relates to the various cooking programmes on the machine

By pressing once on the button (2) -1- will appear on the screen. By pressing the same button you can scroll through the 5 cooking programmes as shown below.

3. Programming the temperature and cooking time manually

If you do not want to set your fryer using the pre-set cooking modes you can change the temperature and timer manually.

Setting the temperature

When the machine is turned on the default setting is activated for frozen chips

Press the button (3) to set the temperature. A light confirms that you are in temperature change mode (5).

The temperature will then scroll from 5 in intervals of 5^ C up to the maximum of 190^ C, and then go back to the minimum of 110^ C.

Setting the timer

The button (4) is for the timer. You can adjust the cooking time for your fryer. To do this press the button (4). A red light confirms that you are in timer change mode (6).

Each time you press button 3 the time will increase by one minute. To reduce the time increase the time to 99 minutes (maximum). Then press once again and the timer will return to the minimum (1 minute). To do this faster hold the key down and the time will be quickly.

4. Frying using the frying baskets

Note: the numbers in brackets are references to the "Description of the Deep Fryer" section.

1. After selecting your cooking mode (or programming the temperature and timer manually), press the "On" button and the screen will show the actual temperature of the oil. Then the yellow temperature rise light will come on (8). Caution: do not put your food in the oil until it is hot.
2. As the temperature is rising you can check the cooking mode by pressing the button (2). By pressing button (4) you can also check the timer. By pressing the button the timer will be displayed for 5 seconds.

To stop the fryer during operation press the "On" button. This will stop the cooking process. The fryer will then go back to the "PRG" menu.

1. Once the fryer reaches the pre-selected temperature the fryer will stop heating the oil. A beep will then sound and the yellow temperature rise light (8) will go out. Conversely the red "OK" light (9) will light and show that you can fry your food.
2. As soon as the oil reaches the pre-selected temperature the beep will sound for 1 minute. Then immerse your food in the oil before the beep stops. Press the "On/Off" button again to start the timer. The red indicator light (9) will turn on.

If you do not press the "On/Off" button the fryer will pause.

The use of dry food is recommended. If your food is wet there is a risk of splashing on contact with the oil.

1. Once you have finished using the fryer unplug it (the two indicator lights will go out).
2. Put the lid back on and leave the oil in the fryer to cool completely before cleaning the machine. Always use the handles to move the machine. Never try the deep fryer holding it by its lid or the pot.

We recommend removing the oil from the fryer once it has cooled completel cleaning the machine before putting it away.

b) Cooking Guide

The table below provides guidelines for cooking food that is normally fried. All the food is fried with the oil at MAX level.

The maximum capacity of the basket is 1000 g but for excellent results we recommend that you do not exceed the weight recommended in the table below.

INGREDIENTS	Weight/Quantities	Temperatures	Approx. cooking time (minutes)	Comments
Frozen chips	800 g 190°C	8-10		Move the basket from side once or twice during cooking to ensure cooking is optimal
Frozen cod or battered haddock	2-4 portions approx. 100 g each and 1.5 cm thick	160°C 8-9		Thick portions may take longer to cook in the middle. Turn the fish in the oil occasionally using tongs
Breaded frozen scampi	340 g packet 180°C 3-4			The scampi will have a deep golden colour when cooked
Fresh and breaded prawns	140g packet 180°C 1-2			Follow the manufacturer's instructions
Cod fillet fingers	10 fingers (300 g per packet)	160°C 4-5		Move the fillet in the oil occasionally for optimum cooking
Frozen chicken - Breaded fillet	2 portions approx. 100 g each	160°C – 170°C 9-10		The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink in the centre. Ensure that the food is boiling hot throughout.

It is important to take into account which food you want to fry in order to determine the appropriate temperature. Use the guideline information in the table below, the advice of the manufacturer and your own decision to guide you.

Do not overload the basket. This will reduce the oil temperature and your food will be greasier and less crunchy.

In addition, if you fill the basket the food will not cook evenly because all the oil cannot reach all the food. It is therefore preferable to cook in batches. Make sure the food is cooked in the centre. If the oil temperature is too high the food at the extremities will brown quickly whilst the centre will not be cooked.

c) Recommendations for Use

1. Frying

• Small food items will cook faster than big items. It may be necessary to cook chicken and frozen food for longer and at a lower temperature to avoid the surfaces cooking before the inside.
• Delicate food like prawns, or indeed diced vegetables, requires cooking at a higher temperature for less time.
• Before using the fryer always fill it above the minimum level. Avoid filling the basket too full.
• Do not expose face or hands to steam or contact with boiling oil.
• For even cooking stir or turn the food with suitable utensils, or move the basket gently during cooking.

2. Checking that the food is hot.

Take a knife and insert it into the food. Hold it there for several seconds before taking it out. If the knife is hot when you touch it your dish is hot in the middle.

You can also use a food thermometer. The chicken is cooked when its juice runs clear and the meat is no longer pink in the middle.

3. Utensils

• Choose your kitchen utensils with care. Do not use utensils that might melt (e.g. plastic).
• Be careful not to damage your machine when you use metal utensils.
• Use suitable gloves or utensils with insulated handles.
• Suitable utensils are those in metal or heat-resistant plastic, skimmers and tongs.
• Unsuitable utensils are those in wood, plastic that is not resistant to heat, knives or other sharp tools.

4. Oil

Oils recommended for use in the fryer

Sunflower

Vegetable

Peanut

Rapeseed

Corn

Oils and fats that are not recommended

Very oily

Olive oil (all types)

Quantity of oil:

Always use the quantity of oil recommended for frying. Never exceed this volume and never use the fryer without oil. Always fill the fryer with oil above the MIN before using it.

4) LOOKING AFTER AND CLEANING YOUR MACHINE

a) Dismantling the Deep Fryer before Cleaning it

• Remove the fryer lid and basket.
• Carefully remove the control unit and the element in the body. To do this hold the control unit with one hand whilst holding the body firmly with the other. Just lift the control unit upwards until it detaches from the body.
• Remove the frying pot. Grip the edge of the bowl with two hands and remove it from the body.

b) Cleaning the Deep Fryer

Always unplug your fryer and leave the oil and your fryer to empty completely before cleaning it.

Never soak the control unit, the power supply lead or the plug in water or any ot liquid.

Never use abrasive cleaning products.

None of the fryer parts are dishwasher-proof. Always wash them by hand.

Cleaning the removable tank, frying basket and lid

Remove all the food residues from the tank and basket using kitchen towel. Wash the parts by hand in hot soapy water. Rub using a sponge. Dry the basket completely before putting it away.

Cleaning the control unit, the other parts and the body

Wipe the surplus oil off the element with kitchen towel (take care not to damage the electric wires connected to the heating element). Wipe the control unit and the body with a clean cloth, either very slightly damp or dry.

c) Reassembling after Cleaning

A B.

• Place the machine body on a stable, safe, dry, horizontal surface.
• Hold the edge of the frying tank on both sides to lower it into the fryer.
• Reconnect the control unit to the body. The control unit has two rails into which the corresponding parts should be inserted in the body of the fryer.

- Slide the setting panel downwards into the rails (Figure B) until the elements are correctly assembled and inserted into the slits.

Note: The fryer will not work if the control unit is not attached to the body.

- If you use the fryer, lift the frying basket handle and then put it back in the locking position. Make sure the handle is firmly fixed on the body.

• To store the fryer, replace the basket, fold back the handle and close the lid.
