5.4 OVERHEAT PROTECTION
The deep fryer is designed with overheat protection. The appliance will automatically
cut-off the power to protect from overheating when there is not enough oil, or when
solid fat is being melted in the oil tank.
To reset the overheat protection:
■ Unplug the appliance and let it cool down for at least 30 minutes.
■ Carefully lift the main unit (2) from the base, and use a pin or pointed object to
push the RESET button (4).
5.5 FRYING GUIDE
Use this table or the frying guide printed on the appliance as a general guidance. The

5.6 FRYING TIPS
■ Cut foods such as chips into the same size, and choose similar sized pieces of fish
and chicken.
■ Before deep frying, make sure that food is as dry as possible. Use kitchen paper to
absorb excess moisture from foods, such as fish, meats and vegetables.
■ Set the Thermostat knob to the minimum temperature while waiting between
two batches.
■ Do not leave the frying basket with food hooked in the draining position for too
long. The vapours could cause the food to lose its crispness and go soft.
■ Do not heat the oil at high temperatures for long periods. This will cause the oil
to lose its properties.
■ Replace deep frying oil frequently. If the oil is very dark, cloudy, emits an unpleasant
odour, smokes excessively or foams when heated, it should be discarded safely.
