HOW TO OPPERATE THE APPLIANCE:
This type of fryer may only be used with oil or liquid fat, and is not suitable for use with solid fat. Solid fat may contain water, which can cause hot fat to splash when heated.
•Never switch on the appliance without oil or fat as this could damage the element. Also, do not place any other liquids such as water or other substances in the oil container, only cooking oil or liquid fat.
•Place the appliance on a dry, flat and stable surface.
•The appliance becomes hot during use, ensure that the appliance is used away from sur- rounding objects or any flammable materials.
•Remove the lid from the appliance and take out the accessories.
•Fill the appliance with the desired amount of oil or fat. Ensure that the appliance is filled above the “MIN” level and below the “MAX” level as indicated on the inside of the oil con- tainer. Do not mix different cooking oils.
•To select the correct temperature for the type of food to be fried, consult the “FRYING TABLE”. Place the food to be fried into the basket.
•For best results, put dry food into the basket.
•Use the handle to place the basket in the oil container.
•Lower the basket into the oil slowly to prevent excessive bubbling or splashing. EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN LOWERING THE BASKET INTO THE HOT OIL.
•The pilot light will switch off to indicate the temperature selected has been reached. Always wait until the selected temperature has been reached before you lower the basket into the oil. The pilot light will switch on & off during the frying process to maintain the temperature of the oil.
•Remove the basket from the oil once the food has been fried.
•Allow oil to drain off, by mounting the basket on the edge of the oil container via the bracket on the basket.
•If the appliance is no longer required, turn the thermostat control dial to the “MIN” setting and remove the plug from the wall socket.
•Clean the basket with soapy water after use, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
•Once the appliance and oil has completely cooled down, place the basket in the appliance and store it.
•To place the handle inside the basket, hold the basket firmly with one hand and use the other hand to push the handle. The handle will unclip and fold downwards.
•Store the appliance, with the lid closed, in a dark, dry place. If the oil can still be reused, store the oil in separate container.
•Do not use the same oil more than three times.
FRYING TIPS:
•Use a maximum quantity of 200 grams of French fries per litre of oil.
•With frozen products, use a maximum quantity of 100 grams as the heat defrosts the food in a short period of time. With frozen food, remove as much ice/frost as possible before submerging it into the hot oil.
•When using fries made from fresh potatoes: dry the fries thoroughly to remove as much water content as possible before submerging into the hot oil.
•For frozen fries,
