• Beware of oil spattering when food is lowered into the
hot oil. Never obstruct the air vents.
• We suggest that you always defrost frozen food before
frying it.
• Please Note: Do not use solid cooking oil, fat, butter,
margarine, or olive oil. Solid cooking fat of any kind
will overheat and burn out the element. Olive oil
contains too much water and it’s smoking point is too
low for deep frying. Buy a good quality liquid cooking
oil suitable for deep frying like sunflower or corn
oil. Don’t mix oils of different types, as they’ll have
different temperature characteristics.
• Important: The oil pan is permanently fixed inside the
fryer, you should never attempt to remove it.
• Short Cord Instructions: CAUTION: A short power
cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury
from entanglement in or tripping over a longer power
cord.
• Extension Cord Usage: An extension cord or longer
detachable cord is not recommended for use with
deep-fat fryers and cooker/fryers.
• Electric Power: if the electric circuit is overloaded
with any other appliance, your appliance may not
operate. It should be operated on a separate electrical
circuit from other appliances. If you are not sure of the
reason of overloading or cannot find a separate circuit,
contact a qualified electrician.
• ASDA does not recommend allowing children to
operate this appliance.
