PRIOR TO FIRST USE

• Read the safety instructions through
carefully.
• Remove all packaging from the appliance
and place it on a flat, stable surface, e.g. a
kitchen counter, and at a safe distance from
flammable objects.
• Clean the lid (11), bowl (1), basket (9)
and casing (7) using warm water and a
little washing-up liquid, and dry the parts
carefully. The parts can also be washed in a
dishwasher.
• Fit the heating element and the control panel
(6 and 4) in the bowl by inserting the pins on
the inside of the plastic unit down into the
grooves on the rear of the bowl.
• NOTE: Heating element must be pushed
all the way down, to activate safety switch.
Otherwise unit may not be able to heat
• Fit the handle (10) onto the basket by
clipping together the handle's two metal
braces, inserting them into the brackets on
the inside of the basket and tilting them in
against the metal plate. Then loosen the
knob on the metal braces, so they are firmly
fixed in the bracket, and the black plastic
knob on the handle is at right angles to
the basket. Check that the handle is fitted
correctly before you use the basket.
USE
• Check that the deep fat fryer is switched off.
• Pour the required amount of oil into the
bowl. Fill the oil to somewhere between the
minimum and maximum level marks on the
inside of the bowl. We recommend using
liquid oil, which is recommended for deep fat
frying.
Tip: You can use lard or other solid fat if you
wish, but you will need to melt it first in the
bowl. Set the temperature control to the lowest
temperature and add the fat in small pieces.
Only turn the temperature up to the desired level
once the fat has melted.
• Place the lid on the bowl.
• Plug the fryer in, and the red power indicator
(2) lights up. Set it to the desired temperature
by turning the temperature control (5). The
green heat indicator (3) lights up and remains
on while the deep fat fryer is heating up.
Once the deep fat fryer has reached the
selected temperature, the heat indicator
(3) goes out. The heat indicator comes
on and goes off during use, which merely
indicates that it is maintaining the selected
temperature.
• Do not add the food until the required
temperature is reached.
• Remove the lid from the deep fat fryer.
• Place the food in the basket and lower it
carefully into the bowl. Make sure the oil level
does not rise to the edge of the bowl.
