Frequently Asked Questions - SD6040N SWAN

What type of oil should I use in the Swan SD6040N deep fryer?

Use only good quality vegetable oil or sunflower oil. Do not use butter, margarine, olive oil, animal fat, or solid fat/lard as they pose a safety hazard.

How much oil should I put in the fryer?

Fill the oil pot so the oil level is between the MIN and MAX marks inside. The net capacity is 3.2 L, so the oil volume will be less (typically around 2-3 L). Never exceed the MAX line.

Why does my fryer not turn on?

The fryer has a safety interlock switch that ensures correct assembly. Make sure the basket and lid are properly positioned. Also check the overheat protection switch (located at the back) if the unit was used without enough oil.

How do I reset the overheat protection?

Unplug the fryer and allow it to cool completely. Insert a thin non-metal utensil into the hole labelled 'RESTART' and press the reset switch. Then the fryer should operate normally.

Can I fry wet or frozen food?

No. Always dry food thoroughly before frying. Even small amounts of water cause hot oil to spatter. Do not add water or wet items to the oil.

What are the recommended frying temperatures?

Shrimp: 130°C, Mushrooms: 150°C, Crumbed chicken: 170°C, Fish cakes: 170°C, Fillets: 170°C, Onions: 190°C, French fries: 190°C, Potato chips: 190°C. Times vary from 2-15 minutes.

How do I clean the deep fryer?

First unplug and let the oil cool completely. Remove oil and filter for reuse. Wipe the interior with absorbent paper, then a damp cloth with mild detergent, and dry. The basket can be washed in warm soapy water. Do not use abrasives.

Can I reuse the oil?

Yes, oil can be reused several times. Filter it after each use to extend its life. Sunflower oil needs more frequent changing than vegetable oil.

What should I do before first use?

Remove all packaging. Wash the basket and oil pot in warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Smear the viewing window with a little oil. Assemble correctly and check the safety interlock before plugging in.

Is the fryer safe to leave unattended?

No. The manual states: 'Do not leave the appliance unattended during use.' Always supervise when frying, especially with children nearby.

SWAN BRAND HERITAGE

Did you know...

In 1933 Swan were the first to develop an electric heating element that could be immersed in water. This led to the Swan kettle range that could boil up to six pints of water in just over nine minutes - pretty hot for the time! These days it takes about two minutes for a Swan kettle to boil.
