USE
•Plug in the appliance and set the thermostat to the desired temperature. The power light and the pilot light will illuminate. As soon as the desired temperature is reached, the pilot light will go out. When the temperature falls, the thermostat will be activated again, and the pilot light will illuminate. It will go out again as soon as the temperature is reached.
•Close the lid.
•When the fryer has reached the desired temperature, take off the lid and raise the basket using the handle. You can attach the basket to the edge of the bowl.
•Place the food into the basket slowly to avoid splashes and lower the basket fully into the oil or fat.
•You now have 2 options : Closing the lid - Its filter will reduce odours and smoke, but keep some steam and moisture inside the fryer – or frying with the lid open, which might give better frying results.
•If the lid is used, use the viewing window to check the food. When the food is ready, take off the lid, raise the basket by lifting the handle and let the food drain. Warning: be careful when you open the lid, as hot steam may come out. Be careful not to get burn.
•If necessary you can take the basket out of the appliance.
•Ensure the food is thoroughly cooked inside and out.
•Your deep fat fryer does not have a separate ON/OFF switch. After use, turn the thermostat to its off position and unplug the appliance. Never move the appliance as long as the oil or fat is still hot.
FOR BEST RESULTS
•Always dry food well before frying. Very ‘wet’ food can cause the oil to ‘foam’ and may overflow.
•Food for frying should be roughly of the same size to ensure the food cooks evenly and thoroughly.
•Many types of food may need to be coated before frying - typical coatings are batter or breadcrumbs.
