Lowering the basket

gently lower the basket into the oil - fig 11. Lowering it
too quickly could cause the fryer to overflow - Wait for
one minute with the lid open - fig 12 then close the lid
- fig 12a.

• If you use solid fat, chop it into pieces and then melt it
in a separate pan before pouring it into the bowl (never
melt solid fat in the basket or in the bowl).
• Never exceed 302°F/150°C to melt the fat that has so-
lidified in the bowl. For the cooking temperature follow
the instructions (see cooking charts p.20).
• NEVER use animal fat such as lard or dripping as this
could cause overflowing, smoke or a fire hazard.
• Dry the food to remove any excess water or ice.
• Fill the basket before placing it in the fryer.
• Do not overfill the basket.
• Reduce quantities for frozen food.
• Tip: Cut food to the same sized pieces so that it cooks
evenly. Avoid pieces that are too thick.
Place the fryer:
- on a secure surface
- out of the reach of
children
- away from any
sources of water,
splashes or heat.
Never plug the fryer in
when it is empty
(without any oil or fat)
- fig 10.
