• Clean the lid (11), bowl (5), basket (9) and casing
(6) using warm water and a little washing-up liquid,
and dry the parts carefully. The parts can also be
washed in a dishwasher.
• Fit the heating element and the control panel (4 and
1) in the bowl by inserting the pins on the inside of
the plastic unit down into the grooves on the rear of
the bowl.
• Fit the handle (10) onto the basket by clipping
together the handle’s two metal braces, inserting
them into the brackets on the inside of the basket
and tilting them in against the metal plate. Then
loosen the knob on the metal braces, so they are
firmly fixed in the bracket, and the black plastic
knob on the handle is at right angles to the basket.
Check that the handle is fitted correctly before you
use the basket.
USE
• Check that the deep fat fryer is switched off.
• Pour the required amount of oil into the bowl. Fill
the oil to somewhere between the minimum and
maximum level marks on the inside of the bowl. We
recommend using liquid oil, which is recommended
for deep fat frying.
Tip: You can use lard or other solid fat if you wish,
but you will need to melt it first in the bowl. Set
the temperature control to the lowest temperature
and add the fat in small pieces. Only turn the
temperature up to the desired level once the fat has
melted.
• Place the lid on the bowl.
• Plug the fryer in, and set it to the desired
temperature by turning the temperature control (3).
The red temperature indicator lights up and remains
on while the deep fat fryer is heating up. Once the
deep fat fryer has reached the selected temperature,
the temperature indicator (2) goes out. The
temperature indicator comes on and goes off during
use, which merely indicates that it is maintaining the
selected temperature.
• Do not add the food until the required temperature
is reached.
• Remove the lid from the deep fat fryer.
• Place the food in the basket and lower it carefully
into the bowl. Make sure the oil level does not rise
to the edge of the bowl.
• Put the lid on the deep fat fryer by pressing the two
plastic grooves on the lid over the metal braces on
the handle and tilting the lid downwards towards the
edge of the basket. Always hold the basket handle
firmly when fitting or removing the lid.
Important!
Be careful, as the oil may spit. Take care when
removing the lid, as hot steam may be released.
TIPS FOR PREPARATION OF FOOD
Before lowering the basket
• Always make sure that the food is dry before
lowering it into the hot oil.
• Ensure that the food is roughly the same size so that
it cooks evenly. Avoid very thick pieces.
• Some types of food should be breaded before being
cooked in the deep fat fryer.
• Make sure you remove as much ice as possible
from frozen food. However, it does not need to be
defrosted before cooking.
• Do not fill the basket above the max mark on the
metal plate under the handle.
Important!
The handle may be very hot after any prolonged
period of use.

After cooking
1. Lift the basket up out of the bowl and tilt it so that it
rests on the edge of the bowl.
2. Allow the oil to drip from the food before removing
the basket.
3. Set the temperature control to the lowest possible
temperature by turning it to the left as far as
possible.
4. Remove the plug from the socket.
5. Allow the deep fat fryer to cool completely (1-2
hours).
Important!
You must never move the deep fat fryer while it is
hot, when there is oil in it, or if the lid has not been
fitted.
HANDLING AND STORING THE OIL
Make sure all oil is only handled when it is completely
cool!
• Remove any food residues from the oil after use.
• Filter the oil regularly.
