filling your fryer with oil
Make sure your fryer is switched off, cooled down, and unplugged from the
mains supply socket before lling with oil.
IMPORTANT! Never plug in or switch your fryer on without cooking oil in the bowl.
We recommend that you use a good quality oil in your fryer.
Always use sunower oil, vegetable oil or corn oil. Never use hard fats, olive oil or oil with
a high water content. Do not use butter or margarine.
If the oil has been previously used, check the condition of the oil and replace as
necessary. Oil needs to be replaced after 8-10 uses or as required. Do not mix different
types of oil together.
1. Open the lid and remove the basket from your fryer.
2. Pour oil (see page 10 for recommended types) into the frying bowl up to the MAX
mark indicated on the inside of the bowl. Do not ll above the MAX mark or below the
MIN mark.
Handy Tip: Don’t throw the empty oil bottle away. You can use this to dispose of or
to store the used oil once it has cooled—see page 16.

Frying
HOT OIL CAN SCALD AND CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS! NEVER drop or tip
food into the bowl. NEVER put your hand or any other body part into the hot oil.
ALWAYS keep your hands and face away from rising steam or spitting oil.
1. With the basket in the raised position, add the food.
2. Close the lid until it clicks.
3. Pull the handle release button backwards with your thumb and gently lower the
basket into the hot oil.
4. When the food is cooked, raise the frying basket by lifting the basket handle to the
horizontal position until the handle release button clicks. This will allow excess oil to
drain from the food.
5. Open the lid by pressing the lid release button. Beware of spitting oil and rising steam
as you open the lid.
6. Lift the basket out of the fryer and place it onto a drip tray and/or kitchen paper.
Note: Battered or coated food may stick to the frying basket. To prevent this, use a
slotted spoon to lift the food away from the mesh straight after the basket has been
lowered into the oil.
After frying
Once you have nished using your fryer turn the temperature control dial fully
anticlockwise. Unplug your fryer from the mains supply socket.
Close the lid and allow the oil and your fryer to completely cool before moving or cleaning
your fryer. Always use the carrying handles when moving your fryer. Never attempt to
move your fryer using the lid or body.
We recommend that once the oil has cooled completely, it is best to remove the oil from
your fryer and to clean the appliance before storing.
