Safety Thermostat
The fryer has a safety thermostat that switches the fryer off in the case of overheating. This may happen if there is not enough oil in the Tank (7).
If the safety thermostat has switched the fryer off, allow the fryer to cool completely and carefully press the Reset Button (13) on the back of the Control Unit (3).
Hints and tips
•Avoid mixing oil of different types or qualities.
•Change the oil when it becomes brown or milky in colour.
•If there are water droplets on the base of the Tank (7), the oil should be changed.
•Change the oil in your appliance after frying 15 times.
•Take into account the food to be cooked before you select your frying temperature. As a general guide
•All food items, particularly frozen food and potatoes, contain moisture. When lowered into the hot oil, the water in the food turns to steam and escapes.
