Black & Decker EF45 manual Timer Operation, Booster Button Operation

English

Note: The bowl should only be removed while the product is cool.

Place the cooking bowl back in the appliance making sure it is seated correctly.

Note: If the cooking bowl is not seated correctly, the Fryer will not function.

Check that the Turbo button is in the off position. Pour good quality cooking oil into the cooking bowl. Always make sure the oil level is between the maximum & minimum marks on the cooking bowl.

Note: Cook only in the bowl supplied.

Fit the basket into the appliance. Close the lid & lower the basket into the oil by pulling the handle release button (6) away from the Fryer & lowering the handle to the vertical position.

Note: Always close the lid before lowering the basket into the hot oil.

Connect the appliance to a suitable electrical supply.

Rotate the temperature control (13) to the required setting. The temperature indicator lamp (10) will light up to indicate the oil is being heated.

The lamp will go out in about 12-15 minutes indicating that the oil is at the selected temperature. Preheating the empty basket in this way will help prevent food sticking to it, and prevent food from absorbing oil.

Raise the handle to the carrying position. Press the lid release button & allow the lid to open.

Note: Always lift the basket before opening the lid.

Remove the basket & close the lid. Place the basket on a worktop, using clean cloth or paper towels to prevent marking the work surface.

Place the prepared ingredients in the basket (8), then open the Fryer lid & fit the basket to the appliance.

Note: Excess moisture should be removed from ingredients with a clean cloth or paper towels before frying.

Carefully close the lid, making sure it latches in position.

While holding the handle, pull the handle button (6) away from the Fryer. Slowly lower the handle to the vertical position. The basket will lower into the hot oil & food will start to cook.

Note: The temperature indicator lamp (10) will cycle on and off during cooking. Keep lid (1) closed during cooking.

Use the Frying Guide as a guide to determine food quantities, temperature settings and cooking times. The cooking progress can be checked by looking through the window (2).

If the window becomes cloudy, the wiper (14) can be used to clear the moisture collected inside the window. To operate the wiper, pull the tab (15) towards the window (2) then push it back to its original position.

Note: Hot steam may escape from the filter vents and lid during cooking.

When cooking is completed, rotate the temperature control (13) to off (“0”) & disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply.

Raise the basket handle (7) until it locks in the horizontal position. Press the lid release button (12) to open the Fryer & remove the basket, shaking it so any excess oil falls back into the cooking bowl.

Timer Operation

The timer (18) can be used to give an audible reminder of when the ingredients are ready.

To operate the timer, press the button (19). The number “1” will flash on the screen. For each consecutive press of this button, the number shown will increase by one.

Holding the timer button down will cause the numbers to increase at a more rapid rate. When the required number of minutes is shown on the display (20), the timer will automatically begin to count down. When the timer enters the final minute, the numbers will show the seconds remaining. When the countdown is completed, the timer will emit an audible beep for a short time. This can be stopped by pressing the button.

The timer can be removed from the Fryer.

Note: The timer is only for indication and does not turn off the power. The maximum countdown time is 99 minutes.

Booster Button Operation

The Booster quickly raises the oil temperature. To use the Booster, rotate the thermostat control (13) to maximum. Press the Booster button (16).

The temperature indicator lamp (10) and the Booster button light (17) will both come on.

The temperature indicator lamp will cycle on and off during cooking, but the Booster button light will stay on until the button is pressed again to turn the Booster off, or until the product is turned off & disconnected from the electrical supply.
