1. Setting the TEMPERATURE

1.1 Fill the container with oil and make sure that

the oil level is between the “L” and “H” mark. Note: Remember that placing food in the oil will also raise the oil level. Do not put too wet foodstuffs or large amount of food at each time.

• During operation, press and hold both the IN- CREASE and DECREASE buttons for 6 seconds to enter “calibration mode”.

• Then, the “display temperature” shown on the display will blink constantly.

• Next, put the thermometer (not included) inside the oil tank for comparison. Be careful as the oil is hot.

• When under steady situation, press INCREASE or DECREASE button to align the “display temper- ature” with the reading in the thermometer (not included).

• After that, press TEMPERATURE icon to confirm it after finishing calibration. RESET the Hi-limiter (thermal cut-out) Please note that the RESET button is located at the bottom of the detachable back support with a protective cap (See line drawing to avoid overheat).

• Unplug the deep fryer from the electrical outlet first.

• Allow the deep fryer to completely cool down.

• Remove the detachable back support from the support.

• Unscrew the black protective cap of the RESET button.

• Press the RESET button of the Hi-limiter (ther- mal cut-out). You should hear a click sound.

• Screw back the protective cap on the RESET but- ton.

• Reinstall the detachable back support on the support. Deep frying tips

• Only use liquid frying oil (preferably) or fat.

• The recommended temperature for frying chips and snacks is 175°C max.

• Heat the oil slowly. Preferably in 3 steps for ex- ample first at 100°C, then from 100-140°C and later from 140°C to 175°C with 15 minute breaks between steps.

• Remove ice and crumbs from frozen foods.

• Do not deep-fry too much at one time. This can cause the oil or fat to cool down too much. Cooled down oil/fat does not properly sear the surface of the food, so that more fat will be absorbed. The ideal proportion of frozen products to frying oil/ fat is 1:10 maximum.

• When used intensively, crumbs and other debris should be filtered out of the oil/fat.

• Replace oil or fat in time. Use test strips or test equipment regularly to track when oil/fat should be replaced.

• If oil or fat starts to foam, smoke or gets too vis- cous you should replace it. Also replace the oil/fat when it has a strong smell or taste. After use

• Turn off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF icon and removing the plug from the socket.

• Remove the basket from the oil container. This avoids the basket becoming stuck in the solidi- fied fat.

• Put the lid on the deep fryer, so that the fat does not age.9
