F: Temperature Control Dial

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: Do not use this product to heat water. Never plug the control panel into a wall socket if it is not installed in the outer housing.

1. Place the deep fryer on a dry, stable surface.

2. Remove the lid from the deep fryer and take out the accessories.

3. Fill the deep fryer with the required amount of oil or fat. The level of the oil or fat

should be above the minimum mark and below the maximum mark. Do not mix different kinds of oil and / or fat.

4. Select the temperature using the dial, as per the food you are cooking. The

cooking temperature guide below can be used for guidelines. Wait for the selected temperature to be reached, the ‘Heating’ light will go off when the temperature is reached.

5. Place the food for frying in the basket, and slowly lower the basket into the deep

fryer. It is best to use dry foods, as moist foods will make the oil splash out of the deep fryer, which is hazardous.

6. Place the basket into the deep fryer using the basket handle only. The deep fryer

will maintain the selected temperature, and thus the ‘Heating’ light will go on and off (cycle ON and OFF) as the product reheats the oil.

7. When the correct frying time has elapsed, slowly raise the basket out of the deep

fryer, allowing excess oil to drain off the food.

8. Switch/ turn the appliance to the “0” or “OFF” position.

9. Unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet.

FRYING TIPS Use a maximum of 200grams of food per each litre of oil. With frozen products, use only 100grams of food per each litre of oil, as the food will cool the oil. Always remove excess ice from frozen foods before frying. Oil or fat can be reused after deep frying. Drain the oil to remove any food particles and store in an airtight container. When the oil starts to discolour and turn brown, it is time to throw it away and use fresh oil. The oil can last up to 10 uses, depending on the type and quality of oil. Do not mix old and new oil.9 RECIPES Old Fashioned Jam Doughnuts Makes about 12 Kids and adults alike love these tasty treats! 30g compressed yeast ¼ cup lukewarm water 60g butter or margarine 1 cup milk ¼ cup castor sugar 2 eggs, beaten 3 ¾ cups flour 1 egg white Raspberry jam Oil for deep frying Icing sugar Dissolve yeast in the water.
