OPERATION - Using the appliance
1. Place the appliance on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface.
2. Remove the lid.
3. Remove all baskets.
4. Fill the inner pan with oil or liquid fat. Be sure the level lies between the 'MIN' and 'MAX' marks in
the pan.
5. Put the lid back on.
6. Insert the plug into the wall socket. The "on/off" indicator light will illuminate.
7. Set the temperature control dial to the required setting. The temperature indicator light will illuminate to
show that the heating element is heating the oil or liquid fat. The temperature indicator light will extinguish
once the oil or liquid fat has reached the required temperature.
ATTENTION: Properly dry foods before frying them
ATTENTION: When setting the temperature take account into the food you intend to fry. Pre-cooked or
pre-fried food (such as deep-freeze chips or potato rissoles) will need to be fried at a higher
temperature than food that has not been pre-cooked or pre-fried. See Table 1 on the panel of
the deep fryer for an indication of the frying temperatures and times.

8. Fill the basket with food.
9. Lower the filled frying basket gently into the deep fryer and put the lid on the fat fryer. Take a look through
the view window every once in a while to monitor the process.
10. Once the food is ready take off and remove the lid completely to ensure that you will not get burnt by the
escaping steam.
11. Lift the basket by the handle. Use the hook fitted to the back of the basket to hang it on the inner rim of the
pan so excess oil can drip from the frying basket. Then carefully place the food on a plate or in a bowl.
12. When finished switch off the appliance by turning the On/Off - temperature control dial fully to the left (to the
'Off' position). Disconnect the plug from the wall socket.
ATTENTION:
• Large amounts of frozen food must be thawed in advance to prevent that the oil cools down too far.
• Make sure that the food is thoroughly dried before you fry it. Moist products can cause severe splashing of
the hot oil or liquid fat.
• Fresh homemade French fries generally contain more moisture than deep frozen fries, so make sure they
are dry.
• Do not fry oven-ready chips.
• Do not fry potatoes that have been stored for too long, or are beginning to develop shoots.
• Do not put too much food in the frying basket at one time, keep the edge as maximum.
• Filter the oil or liquid fat at regular intervals to remove any crumbs and food particles.
• Take extreme care when filling and emptying the deep fryer, and when opening and closing the lid. The
inside of the lid and the pan are both very hot. The hot vapors and splashes of liquid fat or oil can also cause
burns.
