Preparation

Before using for the first time

•The fryer can be completely dismantled.

•Remove the lid and clean it with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.

•Lift the basket handle horizontally until you hear a “click” as it locks.

•Remove the basket, the control unit and the bowl - fig.1 and fig.2.

•Clean the frying basket and the bowl with a sponge and soapy water or put them in the dishwasher - fig.3.

•Clean the control unit and the heating element with a damp cloth.

•Dry all components thoroughly.

•Place the bowl and the heating element in position - fig.4 and fig.5.

Do not immerse the control unit with the heating element in water. Never wash the lid in the dishwasher.

Make sure that the control unit is correctly positioned otherwise the fryer cannot function.

Filling the bowl

Never use different types of oil at the same time as this may cause the oil to overflow.

The oil level must always be kept between the min/max markers. Check the level each time before frying, and add some of the same type of oil if necessary.

•Fill the bowl with oil.

•The oil level should always be between the MIN and MAX level of the bowl. Do not exceed the maximum fill line as boiling oil may overflow during frying and can cause severe burns - fig.6.

•For best results we recommend vegetable oil.

•If you use solid vegetable oil, cut it into small pieces and melt it in a separate pan. Pour the melted oil into the fryer bowl.

•Never melt the oil on the heating element or in the frying basket.

Timer

•The fryer will not operate unless a time has been set - fig.8.

•When the frying time has elapsed, a bell will signal that the time has been met and the fryer will automatically shut off. For continued cooking after the time has elapsed, be sure to restart the timer, otherwise the oil will begin cooling down.

For your safety, this fryer has been designed with an automatic shut-off feature.
