Position the cord to the right side in the cord channel.
Turn the oil/fat container's drain button
-Fig. 9 and slide the empty
container in the fryer.
Follow the diagram shown on the underside of the bowl.
Do not misalign the position of the drain button.
Do not force the drain button.
Oil to use
Use an oil recommended for deep frying. For best results we recommend blended vegetable oil. For sunflower oil, groundnut oil, or soya oil, ensure the oil is changed after every 5 uses.
If you are using a solid vegetable fat: Cut it into pieces and put it at the bottom of the bowl (without the basket).
Place the thermostat on the position 150°C for melting it then follow the manufacturer's recommendations for cooking.
Lard or dripping should not be used under any circumstances and may cause overflowing, smoking or risk of fire. For traditional UK style deep fried foods, especially chips, we do not recommend using olive oil.
Do not mix different types of fat/oil.
You have the possibility of frying your food with 1 litre of fat/oil or 2 litres of fat/oil depending on type of food (see cooking table).
Filling the bowl
Fill the bowl (fitted with its automatic valve) with fat/oil.
Do not exceed the quantity corresponding to the marks for 2 L inside the removable bowl which correspond to 2 litres.
The marks for 1 L in the removable bowl correspond to a volume of 1 litre.
The bowl is also marked in UK cups 5 cps and 11 cps - Fig. 10

Adjust the level of oil according to the amount of food being cooked ensuring that you stay within the Minimum and Maximum levels. Check each time before cooking and correct if necessary using the same type of fat/oil.
Frying
Preheating
Check the fryer has oil/fat inside before switching on.
Close the lid - Fig. 11 Plug in. Set the thermostat to the position corresponding to the food you are frying (see cooking tables p. 20).
The fryer is heating and the temperature light is on.
Never plug in the deep fryer without oil/fat inside.
Never exceed the maximum quantity of food for safety.
Removing the basket
Lift the basket handle until you hear the “click” as it locks - Fig. 12
Fill the basket with food.
Reduce the quantities for frozen foods. Put the basket in place on the edge of the bowl and leave the handle in the horizontal position - Fig. 13 Close the lid.

Cut foods to the same size so that they cook evenly. Avoid using pieces that are too thick.
Shake frozen foods in the basket to detach pieces of ice away from the deep fryer.
