SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

Using Your Deep Fryer:

WARNING: Never turn on the fryer when empty and make sure it is on a flat surface.

1. Unfold the wire mesh basket handle, squeeze the tines of the handle together and allow fitting into the basket bracket.
2. Pour between 0.8-1.0 liters of oil into the fryer. The level of oil must be between the marked MAX and MIN lines on the wall of the vessel.

WARNING: Always ensure the correct amount of oil is in the fryer before switching the power on. The heating element will become overheated and the risk of oil fire if you do not follow this instruction.

1. Plug into the outlet and set thermostat to the required temperature (see the reference menu). The power indicator will to out when the set temperature is reached.
2. Add the food (as dry as possible) into the basket first. Too many pieces lower the oil temperature causing food to absorb oil and/or cook improperly. Place uniform sized pieces of food into the basket so that they will cook evenly. Be sure to dry all foods before frying.
3. Place the basket back into the fryer.
4. After the cooking time has elapsed, lift the basket out of the oil to drain.

NOTE: Use only a good quality vegetable oil or all-purpose shortening for deep frying.

Deep frying foods in butter, margarine, olive oil or animal fat are not recommended because of lower smoking temperatures.

Frying Times and Temperature Guide:

The Frying times in this chart are a guide and should be adjusted to accommodate the different quantitates, thickness, and taste.

Food	Degree °F	Time
Mushrooms	300 °F	3-5 min
Crumbed Chicken	335 °F	12-13 min
Whole Shrimp	335 °F	2-4 min
Fish cakes	335 °F	3-5 min
Fillets	335 °F	5 min

Cleaning Your Deep Fryer:

WARNING: Always turn the appliance to "Off" and unplug the product, allow it to cool before cleaning or storing it.

NOTICE: Always disconnect appliance from the outlet and then remove the Magnetic Plug from the unit. The plug should always remain on during operation. If it becomes disconnected, immediately unplug the cord from the wall outlet then reconnect the magnetic cord to the socket.

1. Let the oil cool down completely. Oil retains its temperature for a long while after use.
   CAUTION: Do not attempt to move or carry the fryer while it is still hot.
2. Oil can be reused several times. Get the maximum use from your Fryer by always having it ready for use. One way of doing this is to keep the cooled and strained. Oil should be filtered after each use.
3. After draining the oil, the fryer should be wiped out with absorbent paper then with a

damp cloth and a little mild soap and finally with a dry cloth. The interior of the fryer has a plain aluminum surface. To avoid damage, no abrasives or sharp instruments should be used.

1. The exterior should be cleaned with a damp cloth, never use abrasives or scouring pads.

2. The basket can be washed in warm soapy water.

3. Clean the lid to ensure the vents are not blocked or clogged by oils or solid fats.

NOTE: Do not immerse cord, plug and fryer in water or other liquid.

HINTS:

• The thermostat is calibrated in steps marked, 250°F, 300°F, 350°F, 375°F, allowing you to select the best temperature to suit the food to be fried.
• POWER INDICATOR will light automatically while the temperatures keep rising and go out when the set temperature is reached.
• The heating element is thermostatically controlled and will switch on and off (light on and off) automatically during the cooking process to maintain the desired cooking temperature. It is normal
• Should the fryer leak, please contact the store where you bought it. To ensure safe operation, excessive food or utensils must not be inserted into the fryer.
• Use only metal kitchen utensils with insulated handles in hot oil.
• As is usual practice extra care should be exercised when frying, especially when children are close by.
• Select the temperature for frying considering the food to be cooked. As a general guide, foods that have been pre-cooked in some way need a higher temperature and less cooking time than those foods which are completely raw.

Caution: Always add the required amount of oil to the deep fryer BEFORE switching the power on.

• Solid oil products, such as butter, margarine or animal fats of any kind should not be used in the deep fryer as they increase the chance of a fire hazard.
• Water and oil do not mix – never add any water or other liquid to hot oil. Even small amounts of water will cause the oil to splatter.
• The deep fryer will generate a lot of heat and steam during and after the cooking. To prevent the risk of burns, do not touch or block the steam ventilation area on the lid.
• Take care when opening the lid. This product generates heat and steam at a high temperature, which will escape immediately when the lid is opened. Avoid touching hot surfaces.
