OPERATING TIPS

• Always place the deep fryer on a stable surface, and keep all flammable materials away from the unit during operation.
• Ensure the deep fryer is never near or on a switched-on stove or cooking surface.
• Before using the deep fryer, fill it with the required amount of oil or fat. Never operate the deep fryer without oil or fat, as this may damage the unit.
• Never move the deep fryer during use. The oil becomes extremely hot. Wait until the unit and the oil have completely cooled before moving.
• This deep fryer is equipped with a thermal safety device that automatically switches the machine off if it overheats.
• Never immerse the appliance in water.
• Never leave the deep fryer unattended while in use.
• Always ensure children's safety if they are near the deep fryer.
• If the deep fryer or cord is damaged, it must be repaired by a professional service centre. Do not attempt to repair the unit or replace the damaged cord yourself.
• Be careful not to damage the heating element. Avoid bending or denting it.
• The electrical component includes a safety heat switch, ensuring that the heating element only functions when it is correctly placed in the fryer.
• In case of overheating, the thermal protective device will automatically switch off the fryer. The reset button is located on the underside of the electrical component or inside the cord storage compartment. To reactivate, press the button using a pointed object (e.g. a pen). Always disconnect the fryer from the power outlet before reactivating the thermal protection.

PREPARING YOUR FRYER

Before Using for the First Time:

• Remove all packaging materials.
  • Take out all removable parts and wash them gently with hot water.
• Do not immerse the power cord, control panel, or heating element in any liquids.
  • Dry all parts thoroughly before reassembling.
• Do not operate the fryer without sufficient oil in the oil container.
  • Always place the deep fryer on a flat, stable surface, ensuring the power cord is out of reach of children and away from accidental entanglement.

Tips:

• When frying different types of food, always fry the food that requires the lowest temperature setting first.
• Do not mix different types of oil for frying.
  • Pre-cooked foods may take less time to fry than raw food.
• Replace the oil after 5–6 uses, or sooner if it becomes brown and thick.

SAFETY TIPS

• This deep fryer is only suitable for use with oil or liquid fat. Do not use solid fat, as trapped water can cause the hot fat to spurt out with considerable force.
• Never switch on the deep fryer without oil or liquid fat, as this may damage the machine. Do not place water or any other liquids in the oil container.
• Always place the deep fryer on a dry, stable surface. Since the fryer becomes hot during use, ensure it is not too close to other objects.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Ensure the deep fryer is unplugged before starting.
2. Assemble the control box into the oil pan, ensuring it is securely fitted and the small white safety switch is activated. The fryer will not power on properly if this switch is not activated.
3. Remove the frying basket and allow it to hang and rest on the back of the oil pan.

4. Use only high-quality frying oil such as peanut oil, vegetable oil, pure corn oil, sunflower oil, canola oil, or light olive oil. It is recommended not to mix different oils.

5. Fill the oil container between the MIN and MAX markings.

6. Do not fill the oil container above the MAX marking or below the MIN marking.

7. Ensure the temperature control knob and timer control knob are set to the OFF or 0 position.

8. Plug the power cord into an outlet.

9. Set the thermostat knob to the desired temperature and the timer knob to the desired time setting based on your recipe. The indicator light will turn on.

10. While the oil is preheating, prepare the food to be fried.

11. Once the oil reaches the set temperature, the indicator light will turn off. Note: The red indicator light will cycle on and off with the thermostat to maintain the set temperature.

12. When placing food into the basket, ensure it is as dry as possible. Avoid adding water, ice, or wet food, as this may cause HOT OIL TO SPLATTER.

13. If frying frozen food, remove any ice particles and thoroughly thaw the food.

14. Do not overfill the basket.

15. Lower the basket of food into the hot oil and cover the fryer with the lid.

Warning: Do not touch the control knob during the frying process. Hot steam may be released, which can cause injury.

1. When frying is complete, remove the lid. Lift the basket slowly out of the hot oil and place it on the drain support located on the back of the fryer basket.
2. After the excess oil has drained, place the food on a paper towel-lined baking sheet to allow any remaining oil to drain away.
3. If frying multiple batches, ensure the oil reheats to the required temperature between each load.
