Using Your Deep Fryer - Brabantia BBEK1130BK Instruction Manual

USING YOUR DEEP FRYER

Prior to first use
1. Read the safety instructions carefully.
2. 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.
3. Clean the lid (11), bowl (1), basket (9) and housing (7) using warm water and a
little washing-up liquid and dry the parts carefully. The parts can also be washed in
a dishwasher.
4. 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.
5. Fit the handle (10) on to 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.

using liquid oil, which is recommended for deep fat frying.
Tip: You can use lard or other solid fats 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.
3. Place the lid on the bowl.
4. Plug the fryer in and the red power indicator (2) will light up. Set it to the desired
temperature by turning the temperature control (5). The green heat indicator (3) will
light up and remains on while the Deep Fryer is heating up. Once the Deep Fryer has
reached the selected temperature, the heat indicator (3) will go off. The heat
indicator comes on and goes off during use, which merely indicates that it is
