BEFORE THE FIRST USE

• Take the appliance and accessories out the box. Remove the stickers, protective foil or plastic from the device.
• Place the device on a flat stable surface and ensure a minimum of 10 cm. free space around the device. This device is not suitable for installation in a cabinet or for outside use.
• Before using your appliance for the first time, wipe off all removable parts with a damp cloth. Never use abrasive products.
• Put the power cable into the socket. (Note: Make sure the voltage which is indicated on the device matches the local voltage before connecting the device. Voltage 220V-240V 50/60Hz)
• This type of fryer is only suitable for use with oil or liquid fat, and not for solid fat.
• Using solid fat entails the risk of trapping water in the fat which will cause it to spatter violently when heated up.
• Ensure that the oil/fat is not contaminated with water, for example from frozen products, this will cause excessive spattering.
• Never use the fryer without oil or fat as this will damage the appliance.
• Never pour any liquid, such as water, in the pan.

Considerations for using the fryer

DO:

• Only use the fryer for household appliance.
• Only use the fryer for frying food.
• Only use oil or grease that is suitable for frying. Check the packaging if the fat or oil is suitable for this fryer.
• Ensure the level of the fat or oil is higher than the minimum and less than the maximum, so between the minimum and maximum lines. If there is too much fat or oil in the fryer, it may be overflow the fryer.
• Be careful when frying, make sure the fryer is used safely by keeping enough distance between the user and the device. Make sure that people who needs extra help or supervision can't reach the fryer.
• Change the oil or fat when it is brown, dirty smell or smoke in the beginning.
• Change the oil or fat when too much water is in it. You can recognize the high concentration of water in the oil or fat by large bubbles and water droplets, water vapor or rapid rise in oil or fat. If the oil concentration in the fryer is too high, there will be a chance, that the fat or oil will come out with an explosion, which can be very dangerous for those who use the fryer and those which are near the fryer.
• Change the oil or fat after 8 to maximum 10 times use.
• Remove all ice (molecules) on frozen foods. Make sure that fried foods will be thawed first, by laying the food in a dry clean towel. Dab the food with the towel when the majority of ice is melted.
• Make sure there is enough space around the fryer when you use it.
• Let the fryer cool down uncovered in order to prevent condensation. Keep the fryer in a dry, safe place.
• The fryer may not be exposed to rain and moisture.
• Be patient and wait until the fryer reaches the correct temperature.

DON'T:

OPERATION

Use

• Wash the basket in warm soapy water and dry it well before use. Clean the inside of the pan with a damp cloth and wipe it dry thoroughly. Ensure that all electrical parts remain completely dry.
• Fill the appliance with the required amount of oil or fat. Ensure that the appliance is filled at least to the minimum level and not higher than the maximum level, as indicated on the inside of the fryer. For optimal results we advice to avoid mixing different types of oil.

• Select the temperature with the temperature switch on the control panel for the food you wish to fry. Put the plug of the device into the outlet.
• Use the handle to lift the basket from the fryer.
• Place the food to be fried in the basket. For the best results the food should be dry before being placed in the basket. Immerse the basket into the oil or fat slowly to prevent the oil from bubbling up too strongly. To ensure the oil stays at the correct temperature, the thermostat will switch on and off. The red control light will also go on and off.
• Lift the basket when the frying time has elapsed and hang it on the hook in the pan so the oil can drip off.

Frying Tips

• Use a maximum of 200 grams of chips per litre of oil.
• When using frozen products, use a maximum of 100 grams because the oil cools off rapidly. Shake frozen products above the sink to remove excess ice.
• When fresh chips are used, dry the chips after washing them to ensure no water gets into the oil. Fry the chips in two turns. First time (blanch) 5 to 5 minutes at 170 degrees. Second time (finishing) 2 to 4 minutes at 175 degrees. Allow the oil to drip off.

Changing the oil

• Make sure the fryer and the oil or fat have cooled down before changing the oil or fat (remove the plug of the device from the socket). Change the oil regularly. This is particularly necessary when the oil or fat goes dark or the smell changes. Always change the oil after every 10 frying sessions. Change the oil in one go. Never mix old and new oil.
• Used oil is harmful to the environment. Do not dispose of it with your normal rubbish but follow the guidelines issued by the local authorities.

Extra information

• The heating element is equipped with a safety switch, if the element is not placed in the correct position the element will not function.
• In the case of overheating, the pan will switch off automatically. This safety mechanism can be found on the bottom of the electrical part. If its switches off, it can be reactivated by pressing in the button with a long pointed object. The button is situated deep behind the hole and so you will need a long object such as a thin screwdriver. First remove the plug from the socket.

• Before cleaning, unplug the appliance and wait for the appliance to cool down.
• All parts, except the heating element are dishwasher-proof. Never immerse the heating element under water.
