Before using for the first time
•
The fryer can be completely dismantled – fig. 1.
Remove the lid. Remove the frying basket, the control unit and the bowl. Remove the oil box by positioning the
Oil box control button on the Oil box position.
•
Clean the lid, the bowl, the housing, the frying basket – fig. 2 and the Oil box with soap and water or put them
in the dishwasher. Clean the control unit and the heating element with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.
•
After cleaning, press on the filtration valve under the bowl to release any water in the bowl – fig. 3.
•
Place the bowl and the heating element in position.
•
Place the Oil box control switch on the Oil box position and insert the empty Oil box into the fryer.
•
Completely unfold the basket handle; a "click" indicates that it is correctly positioned – fig. 5.
•
Do not immerse the control unit with the heating element in water – fig. 4.
•
Check that the filtration and drainage switch has gone back to its original position.
•
Make sure that the control unit is correctly positioned otherwise the fryer cannot function.
Filling the bowl
•
Fill the bowl with oil – fig. 6.
•
Never exceed the maximum level indicated in the bowl – fig. 6.
•
For best results use oil recommended for deep frying: vegetable oil, corn oil, canola 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 drippings.
•
If you use solid vegetable oil, cut it into small pieces and melt it in a separate pan – fig. 7. Pour the melted oil
into the fryer bowl. Never melt solid fat on the heating element or in the frying basket.
•
Do not mix different types of oil or fat as this may cause the oil to overflow.
•
The oil/fat level must always be between the min. and max. markers, stamped inside the bowl. Check this
each time prior to cooking and add some of the same type of oil if necessary.
