Never leave the appliance unattended whilst in use.
This appliance is intended to be used in household only. Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply extension cord is used:

The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and:
The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS

Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord replaced. Please return it to an authorized service representative.
Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

To ensure continued protection against risk of electric shock, connect to properly grounded outlets only.

Operating Instructions

BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using fryer for first time, wash pot and basket thoroughly with warm, soapy water, carefully dry iron pot to maintain the good aesthetic appearance. Do not use fryer without oil or fat. Fryer will be severely damaged if heated dry. This fryer has a thermal safety device. In case of thermostat failure, the electrical circuit has an automatic cut-out, thus preventing overheating.
Should the fryer leak, please contact the store where you bought it. To ensure safe operation, excessive food or utensils must not be inserted into the fryer.

HOW TO USE

Unfold the wire mesh basket handle, squeeze the tines of the handle together and allow fitting into the basket bracket.
Pour between 0.8-1.0 liters of oil into the fryer. The level of oil must be between the two marks marked, MAX & MIN on the wall of the vessel.

SAFETY WARNING: Always ensure the correct amount of oil is in the fryer before switching the power on. The heating element will become overheated and the risk of oil fire if you do not follow this instruction.

Plug into power outlet and set thermostat to the required temperature (see the Frying Times Reference Menu). The power indicator will to out when the set temperature is reached. The POWER INDICATOR will light automatically while the temperatures keep rising and go out when the set temperature is reached. The heating element is thermostatically controlled and has to switch on and off (light on and off) automatically during the cooking process to maintain the desired cooking temperature.
Add the food (as dry as possible) into the basket first.

Too many pieces lower the oil temperature causing food to absorb oil and/or cook improperly. Place uniform sized pieces of food into the basket so that they will cook evenly. Be sure to dry all foods before frying.
Place the basket back into the fryer.
After the cooking time has elapsed, lift the basket out of the oil to drain.

NOTE: Use only a good quality vegetable oil or all purpose shortening for deep frying. Deep frying foods in butter, margarine, olive oil or animal fat are not recommended because of lower smoking temperatures.

SAFETY WARNING: Escaping steam may cause burns to hands or fingers. Open lid carefully. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious burns as hot oil may spill from fryer.

User Maintenance

CLEANING YOUR FRYER

The power supply must be disconnected before cleaning.
Cool the oil completely. Oil or fat retains its temperature for a long while after use. Do not attempt to move or carry the fryer while it is still hot.
Oil can be reused several times. Get the maximum use from your fryer by always having it ready for use. One way of doing this is to keep the cooled and strained.
Oil should be filtered after each use.
After draining the oil, the fryer should be wiped out with absorbent paper then with a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid and finally with a dry cloth. The interior of the fryer has a plain aluminum surface. To avoid damage, no abrasives or sharp instruments should be used.
The exterior should be cleaned with a damp cloth, never use abrasives or scouring pads.
The basket can be washed in warm soapy water.
Clean the lid to ensure the ventilation vents are not blocked or clogged by oils or solid fats.

Helpful Tips

Use only metal kitchen utensils with insulated handles in hot oil.
As is usual practice care-should be exercised when frying, especially when children are close by.
Select the temperature for frying taking into account the food to be cooked. As a general guide, foods that have been pre-cooked in some way need a higher temperature and less cooking time than those foods which are completely raw.
Always add the required amount of oil to the deep fryer BEFORE switching the power on at the power point.
Do not exceed the maximum mark with oil. This product must be filled with oil to the correct marked level.
The product will be severely damaged if heated dry.
Solid oil products, such as butter, margarine or animal fats of any kind should not be used in the deep fryer as they increase the chance of a fire hazard.
Water and oil do not mix – never add any water or other liquid to hot oil. Even small amounts of water will cause the oil to splatter.
Do not use with extension cords. Serious hot oils burns may result from a deep fryer being pulled off a bench top. Do not allow the cord to hang off the edge of the bench top where it may be grabbed by children, or become entangled by the user. Never leave the deep fryer unattended whilst in use.
The deep fryer will generate a lot of heat and steam during and after the cooking. To prevent the risk of burns, do not touch or block the steam ventilation area on the lid.
Take care when opening the lid. This product generates heat and steam at a high temperature, which will escape immediately when the lid is opened. Avoid touching hot surfaces.
Extreme caution must be used when moving a product containing hot oil, other hot liquids or hot foods of any types.
