temperature.
5 Lift the lid.
There are two methods of cooking in your
fryer; one general method for most food
types and another for home battered
products.
General cooking method
1 Place the basket in the raised position.
The basket should always be in the
raised position when it is to be filled with
food.
2 Place the food, which should be dry as
possible, into the raised basket.
3 Lower the basket into the oil.
4 Lower the lid.
• You can time the cooking process by
raising the lid or looking through the
viewing window to observe progress.
5 When the food is cooked, raise the lid, lift
the basket out of the oil, give it a shake,
and place it in its raised position for a few
seconds to drain.
6 Lift the basket out and shake the fried
food into a dish with oil absorbing kitchen
paper.
7 After use, disconnect from the mains
supply. Wipe any spilt oil from the fryer
body.
• You can store the basket in the oil.
Cooking home-battered foods
This method allows for the fact that if wet
batter is placed in the basket prior to
cooking the food may stick. This method of
cooking requires extreme care. Follow the
general cooking method, except as follows.
1 Leave the basket in the down position.
2 Coat the raw food in the batter and allow
it to drain slightly to get rid of the excess
coating.
3 Very carefully, slowly lower the coated
food into the hot oil, using a suitable
implement or tongs. This allows the
batter to become solid and prevents it
sealing to the mesh of the basket.
WARNING: Take care as the oil may
spit as the food is added.
Getting the best
from your fryer
Oil
• Always ensure that you use a good
quality oil for deep frying. We recommend
corn, groundnut, rape seed or vegetable
oils. Do not use margarine, butter or olive
oil.
•Avoid mixing oils of different qualities.
• Change the oil when it becomes brown or
milky in colour.
• Change the oil after frying 15 times.
Cooking
•Your food must always be completely dry
in order to avoid overflowing, to prolong
the use of the oil and to give a crisper
finish to the food.
• Cook one type of food at a time.
• Pieces of food should be of the same
size and thickness.
• As a general guide precooked foods need
a higher cooking temperature than raw
foods.
• Do not overload the basket as it may
cause a drop of the temperature that may
leave the food greasy.
• Cook your food thoroughly. Remember
that your food may begin to turn golden
brown before it is cooked through.
•Avoid leaving food to drain for too long in
the basket as the food may become soft
and lose its crunchiness.
• Select your cooking utensils with care.
Do not use utensils that may melt. Metal
utensils become hot and therefore should
