Preparation for use

Before using your deep fryer for the first
time
• For opening the lid, press up on the lid locking
button.
• The lid and the basket are removable, clean them in
the dishwasher or with soap and water. Dry. Clean
the bowl with a sponge and some washing up liquid.

Filling the bowl

• For best results we recommend blended vegetable
oil. For sunflower oil, groundnut oil, or soya oil
ensure the oil is changed after every 5 uses.
• If you use solid vegetable fat:
- Cut it into pieces and place it at the bottom of the
bowl (never in the basket - remove the basket).
- Never exceed 150° to melt it, then follow the
manufacturer's cooking recommendations.
• Lard or dripping should N O T be used under any
circumstances and may cause overflowing, smoking
or risk of fire. For traditional UK style deep fried
foods, especially chips, we do not recommend using
olive oil.
