Using your Multicooker

Before the first use

Wash, rinse and dry your Multicooker Deep Fryer, basket and lid, “Season” the cooking surface by applying a thin coat of cooking oil and rub in with paper towelling.

1.Insert the Control Probe into the inlet on the Multicooker Deep Fryer.

2.Plug the cord into a 230-240V power outlet and turn the power on.

3.Preheat the Multicooker on setting 7-8 then set the Control Probe Dial to the desired temperature setting. Refer to page 6 for the temperature guide.

This light will remain on until the set temperature has been reached and then will cycle on and off throughout cooking, as the cooking temperature is maintained by the thermostat.

Hint: On initial heating of the Multicooker Deep Fryer, it is recommended that the temperature be allowed to cycle (the light glowing on and off) several times. This will help the cooking surface to adjust to a more accurate cooking temperature.

Note: The Multicooker Deep Fryer must only be used with the Control Probe provided.

Saucepan cooking

The Multicooker is not just suitable for deep frying, but it has many other uses. Use the cooking vessel without the Deep Fryer Basket as a rice and a pasta boiler, for simmering soups and large stews, preparing spaghetti sauce and braising roasts.

Deep fry cooking

1.Place the deep fryer on a flat and stable surface away from any heating source and where it cannot be splashed with water.

2.Remove the lid. NEVER USE THE LID WHEN DEEP FRYING.

3.Pour good quality vegetable, nut or seed oil into the vessel until it reaches ‘MAX’ mark indicated on the inside of the non-stick vessel. (approx 2lt)

Note: Do not mix different types of oil.

4.Insert the plug into a 230-240 volt power outlet and turn the power on by using the on/off switch.

5.Heat the oil to the cooking temperature as recommended by the recipe. Rotate the dial on the temperature control probe to the temperature that you wish to cook the food.

6.Using the frying basket supplied, pull the handle backwards until it locks into position.

7.Place your food inside the basket, and gently lower the basket into the oil.

8.Cook your food for recommended time as per the recipe, or as desired.

9.When the food is cooked, (ensuring that the handle is locked in position) gently lift the basket directly out of the cooking vessel. Tilt the basket so that the draining lever rests securely on the inside rim of the cooking vessel. (see diagram below)

10.Remove hot food with tongs and drain on absorbent paper.
