COOKING WITH YOUR KAMBROOK DEEP FRYER
Before first use: Remove any promotional labels and/or packaging materials from the deep fryer.Wash the wire mesh frying basket in warm soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.Wipe the cooking bowl with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Ensure the bowl is completely free of water before adding any oil.
CAUTION: Always add the required amount of oil to the deep fryer BEFORE switching the power on at the outlet.
1.Place the deep fryer on a dry, level surface, ensuring the deep fryer is not close to the edge of the bench top and that the cord is not hanging over the edge (refer to safety instructions, page 6).
2.Lift the lid off the deep fryer
3.Remove the frying basket.
4.Pour up to 1.2 litres of good quality oil into the deep fryer cooking bowl.
WARNING: Do NOT exceed the maximum oil level of 1.2 litres.
5.Plug the power cord into a 230/240 volt power outlet. Ensure the power cord is fully extended. Switch on at power outlet.The red ‘Power’ light will illuminate.
6.Preheat the oil by moving the Temperature Control Slide Selector to the right to the desired temperature setting.The green temperature ‘Ready’ light will illuminate to indicate that the oil is heating.When the oil has reached the required temperature, the green temperature ‘Ready’ light will go out. Allow the green temperature ‘Ready’ light to cycle on and off several times so the oil can reach an even temperature.
NOTE:The green temperature ‘Ready’ light will continue to cycle on and off to maintain the selected temperature throughout cooking.
7.Once the oil has preheated, place food into the fryer basket. Do not overfill basket.
8.Place the frying basket into the deep fryer and carefully lower into the oil.
NOTE
•Care should be taken when lowering food in the frying basket into the hot oil. Some splattering may occur.
•Some recipes may require the basket to be lowered into the oil first, then the food added. Do this with care and avoid oil splattering.
9.At the end of the cooking time, move the Temperature Control Slide Selector to the left. Switch the power off at the power outlet and remove the power plug.
10.Suspend the frying basket, on the side of the deep fryer, above the hot oil. Allow the basket to stand in this position for a short time to drain any excess oil from the food.
11.Lift the basket upwards to remove and shake the food from the basket onto kitchen paper placed a heat resistant plate to absorb any excess oil.
WARNING:
1.This product must be filled with oil to the correct marked level.The product will be severely damaged if heated without oil in the bowl.
2.Solid oil products, such as butter, margarine or animal fats of any kind should not be used in the deep fryer as they increase the chance of fire hazard.
3.Water and oil do not mix – never add any water or other liquid to hot oil. Even small amounts of water will cause the oil to splatter.
4.Avoid the use of extension cords. Serious hot oil burns may result from a deep fryer being pulled off a table, counter or bench top. Do not allow the cord to hang off the edge of a table, counter or bench top where it may be grabbed by children, or become entangled by the user. Never leave the deep fryer unattended while in use.
5.Ensure cord is fully extended while in use.
6.The lid must be removed when deep frying.
CAUTION:
1.The deep fryer will generate a lot of heat and steam during and after the cooking process. Avoid touching hot surfaces.
2.EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE USED WHEN MOVING A PRODUCT CONTAINING HOT OIL, OTHER HOT LIQUIDS OR HOT FOODS OF ANY TYPES.The oil in the deep fryer should be allowed to cool completely before moving the appliance.
3.Use long handled tongs or utensils when turning food in the hot oil to avoid contact with any splattering.
NOTE:
•Do not overfill the basket with food, too many items will lower the oil temperature causing food to absorb oil and not cook properly.
•Ensure the oil has reached the selected temperature before lowering foods into the oil. Food cooked in oil that has not reached the correct temperature will absorb more oil and become soggy.
•Food should be of uniform size when placed
in the basket to ensure even cooking.Wet foods should be patted dry to decrease the amount of water coming into contact with the oil.
•Foods such as chips and wedges should be placed into the frying basket before lowering into the hot oil.When using foods coated in batter, lower the frying basket into the oil then use tongs to carefully add the coated food directly into the hot oil.This avoids coated foods from sticking to the frying basket. Use the frying basket to remove the food at the end of cooking.
