Filling the Frying Basket
IMPORTANT: When frying frozen foods such as french
fries, you should not exceed 1.25 Lbs.
(625 gr.). For healthy, crisp results limit quantity
to 1 Lb. (500 gr.) or less.
• Damp food must be dried thoroughly before frying.
• Remove any loose ice from frozen foods before frying.
• Follow instructions on frozen food packages to determine whether to
cook food frozen or thawed.
Frying Food
• Always use the frying basket to fry food.
• Always close the lid during frying.
• When oil is pre-heated, yellow light will go off to indicate desired
temperature is reached.
• Slowly turn the basket lifting knob clockwise to lower the basket into the
hot oil. Lowering the basket too quickly can result in the oil overflowing
and splashing.
• Slowly close the lid.
• It is normal for steam to escape through the sides of the lid while frying.
Avoid standing too close to the deep fryer while it is working.
• Set timer for desired frying time. Frying time varies with the amount,
type and thickness of the food to be fried. See table for guidance
(section 5). However, please note that experience is ultimately the best
guide. We therefore recommend carefully opening the lid and raising the
basket from time to time to check the progress.
• If the food is fried to your satisfaction before the pre-set period elapses,
you can switch off the timer by turning the timer setting dial (#8) to the
left. You can add a few minutes to the pre-set time by turning the timer
setting dial (#8) to the right.
Warning: When opening the lid after frying, first release the lid by pressing
the lid opening latch, then wait to allow steam to escape before
opening the lid completely.
Warning: Do not touch any metal parts on the deep fryer because they
may be hot.

• Make sure that the basket is raised to the up position by turning the
basket lifting knob counter-clockwise.
• Place the food in the frying basket. Do not overfill it and never exceed
the maximum quantities. For optimum results and shorter frying time,
basket should be only 1/2 to 3/4 full.
• The basket has approximately 2 Lbs. food capacity. It will hold 4-5
average size pieces of chicken.
• Do not fill the basket more than 1/2 to 3/4 full with frozen food.
4. AT THE END OF THE COOKING
Warning: When you have finished frying, always turn timer setting dial to
“0” and temperature setting dial to lowest position and unplug
