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 - fig.1 and the bowl - 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 - fig.4 and the heating element in position - 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.

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.

Filling the bowl

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 a good quality blended vegetable oil. If using sunflower oil ensure the oil is changed every 5 uses. Oils which should not be used under any circumstances and may cause overflowing/smoking/risk of fire are: ground nut oil, soya oil, olive oil, lard or dripping.

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 solid fat on the heating element or in the frying basket.
