Table 1 frying temperatures and times
3. The red temperature indicator light will extinguish once the oil or fat has reached the required
temperature. This will take approximately 15 minutes.
Although the Deep Fryer is insulated to prevent the housing from becoming too hot, certain parts of the
deep fryer may nevertheless become hot; do not touch them, as you could burn yourself.
4. Lift the frying basket's handle to the horizontal position until it locks into place (see Figure 2). Lifting the
handle also raises the frying basket. Allow the frying basket to drain (keep the lid closed).
5. Press the lid release lever to open the lid, and take the frying basket out of the deep fryer.
6. Fill the frying basket with the required food. Do not put too much food in the basket at once (600gr
max.).
7. Put the frying basket back into the deep fryer. Leave the handle in the horizontal position.
8. Close the lid.
9. Pull the lock in the handle towards you and lower the handle. The frying basket will be lowered into the
oil.
10. Use a kitchen timer to set the required frying time.
11. When the kitchen timer goes off lift the handle of the frying basket to raise the frying basket. Allow the
frying basket to drain (keep the lid closed).
12. Press the lid release lever.
13. Take the frying basket out of the deep fryer and place the food on a plate, preferably on a piece of
paper kitchen towel that will absorb any excess fat.
14. The deep fryer will maintain the temperature of the oil at the required setting, and consequently you will
be able to fry a second portion when you are ready. Repeat steps 2 through 13.
Switch off the deep fryer when you do not wish to fry a further portion.
15. Once you have finished frying switch off the deep fryer and remove the plug from the wall socket.
16. Allow the deep fryer to cool.
17. Clean the exterior of the housing, and store the deep fryer.
operAtion - tips and directions
• Make sure that the food is thoroughly dry before you fry it. Moist products can cause severe
splashing of the hot oil or fat.
• Remove as much ice as possible from frozen food; this will prevent splashing.
• Do not fry oven-ready chips.
• Do not fry potatoes that have been stored for too long, or are beginning to develop shoots.
• Do not put too much food in the frying basket at one time.
• You will need to coat some foods with batter or breadcrumbs before you fry them. You can prepare
your own breadcrumbs by crumbling toast or rusks.
• Filter the oil or fat at regular intervals to remove any breadcrumbs and particles of food.
cleAning And MAintenAnce - replacing the oil or fat
The quality of the oil or fat deteriorates every time you use the deep fryer. For this reason you will need
to replace the oil or fat at regular intervals. Topping up the oil or fat will not improve the quality.Use good
quality oil or (liquid) fat. When heating solid fat set the deep fryer to the lowest temperature until all the fat
has melted. Since margarine and butter are not suitable for deep frying you are strongly advised not to use
them.
Replace the oil or fat when;
• it becomes darker in colour,
• it becomes thicker in consistency,
• small air bubbles are seen that take a long time to disappear; in new, fresh fat the air bubbles are large
