Lower the filled basket carefully into the oil.
During cooking you can raise and lower the basket to in-
spect the food through the gless window.
Always fry food with the lid in position.The lid is designed
to prevent steam from escaping and the filters will absorb
oil and food vapours and help neutralise frying smells.
Cook the food for the required time
If you are using the timer: When the set time has expired the timer will return to the OFF
position and a bell will ring.
If you are not using the timer: Switch the fryer off unless you are frying a second batch.
•
During cooking, the "Ready" light may go on and off - this is normal.
After the food has cooked
•
Lift the basket, Place it in the raised position and wait a few seconds to let the oil drain
off and the steam to subside.
•
Carefully remove the lid using the handle.
•
Shake the basket SLIGHTLY to remove excess oil.
•
If the food is not fully cooked:
Place the basket in the raised position, cover with the
lid, lower the basket into the oil and continue cooking.
When the food is fully cooked:
•
Transfer the food to a heatproof utensil. Return the basket to the fryer in the raised
position and replace the lid.
•
Switch off the mains socket and unplug the fryer.
•
Leave the appliance to cool fully before cleaning.
•
Note:
If you are using solid fat, remove the basket from the fryer before the fat in the
tank solidifies. Leave the basket on a heatproof surface to cool after removing it from
the fryer and before washing it as described elsewhere in the manual.
Helpful Hints
•
Use a recommended oil - do not mix oils or fats.
•
Always filter used oil before re-use. Never leave frying residues in the oil.
•
Replace oil frequently.
Discoloured oil, rancid oil, oil that emits an unpleasant
odour or oil that foams excessively when heated should not be used.
•
Take into account the type of food when you set the frying temperature. Generally,
precooked foods need a higher cooking temperature than raw foods.
•
If you need to add oil, do so between batches. Allow the oil to heat up to the right
temperature before continuing - ("Ready" light on).
•
Follow your recipe to help you set the correct time so the food cooks properly.
•
Ensure that the food is completely immersed in the oil.
•
Cook food thoroughly.
Food may turn golden brown before it has cooked through.
•
Do not lean over the fryer when placing, cooking or removing food.
•
Check the progress of the food during cooking.
•
Do NOT touch the metal surfaces of the fryer during cooking.
•
Always hold the basket by the handle during cooking.
•
Never shake the basket vigorously - hot oil causes severe burns!!
•
WARNING: it is dangerous to operate the fryer with low or no oil in the tank.
ways ensure the oil in the tank exceeds the minimum mark before you start cooking.
The fryer element thermal reset
•
I
f you operate the fryer without any oil or with insufficient oil in the tank the ele-
ment will rapidly reach a dangerously high temperature. If this occurs the element
will switch off and disconnect power to the fryer. The mains power light will also ex-
tinguish. Unplug the fryer from the mains. After a short period the thermal reset will
operate and the fryer can now be used again.
•
WARNING: Prolonged misuse may cause the element to fail totally.
