Preheating

•After the bowl has been filled with oil, put the lid on the fryer and plug in the appliance without the frying basket.

•Turn the fryer on by pressing the On/Off switch and adjust the temperature to the required setting (see the cooking tables p. 5) - fig.7.

•Turn the timer knob clockwise and set it to 20 minutes - fig.8.

•The fryer will begin to heat up the oil and the indicator light will turn to red.

•Note: The temperature indicator light will turn to green when the temperature has been reached.

Place the fryer:

-on a steady surface

-out of the reach of children

-away from water or heat sources.

The timer knob must be set to a time otherwise the oil will not heat up and remain hot while cooking. Never operate your fryer without any oil or fat in the bowl.

Loading the basket

Cut food into similar-sized pieces so that they cook evenly. Avoid using pieces that are too thick. Shake frozen food to remove excess pieces of ice away from the deep fryer.

For crispier frozen fries, wash them in cold water and dry them carefully.

•Remove excess water, ice or frost from food.

•Fill the basket before placing it in the deep fryer. Do not overfill the basket. Reduce the quantities for frozen foods - fig.9.

•Remove the lid.

•Place the frying basket on the edge of the bowl and leave the handle in the horizontal position.

•Put the lid back on the fryer.

Cooking

Lowering the basket

•When the oil has reached the correct temperature, the light turns to green.

•Note: the light is green when the preset temperature has been reached ONLY IF the timer is set to a time and not to “0”.

•Press the handle unlocking button and fold the handle very slowly into its housing to lower the basket into the oil - fig.10. Plunging the basket too rapidly in the oil may cause it to overflow.

•Turn timer knob to desired time.

•During cooking, it is normal for the temperature light to alternate between red and green.

Regardless of the recipe, food must be dried thoroughly before frying. This will prevent the oil from splattering and/or overflowing and will extend the life of the oil.

When the fryer is in use, some parts will be extremely hot and can cause severe burns. Steam coming from the filter is also extremely hot - fig.11. Only touch the knobs and handles of the fryer for your safety.

The timer signals the end of cooking and automatically turns the appliance off.

For crispy fried food, remove the lid as soon as you have finished cooking to prevent steam.

At the end of cooking time

Frying is complete when:

•The timer sounds, indicating the cooking time has elapsed.

•The food is of the desired colour and texture.

•Lift the handle horizontally to raise the basket until you hear a "click" as it locks.

•Allow excess oil to drain by letting the basket remain on the hook for a moment.

•Remove the lid.

•Remove the basket.

•Serve the food.

•Put the lid on the fryer when it is not in use.

•To use a second time, correct the oil level if necessary, then turn the timer knob to the desired time and wait for the temperature indicator light to turn to green again before lowering food into oil.
