5/ OPERATION
WARNING: Always unplug the deep fryer from the wall socket before
assembling/disassembling, filling/emptying the oil tank, cleaning, and after
use.
5.1 ASSEMBLING THE DEEP FRYER
Make sure that the lid (1) is assembled to the base unit (9), and the filter and filter
cover are properly assembled in place (→ 6.1 DISASSEMBLING THE LID AND FILTER
FOR CLEANING).
5.2 USING THE DEEP FRYER
1. Place the deep fryer on a flat, stable and heat-resistant surface.
2. Press the Lid release button (5) to open the lid.
3. Press the Handle release button (12) and unfold the handle of the frying basket
until it "clicks" into the usage position.
4. Remove the frying basket (10), fill it with prepared food and set aside. Do not
exceed 2/3 of the basket.
5. Fill the oil tank (4) with fresh cooking oil up to the "MAX" level mark. Do not fill
below the "MIN" or above the "MAX" level marked inside the oil tank.
NOTE:
■ Only fill the oil tank with cooking oil. Do not fill any other liquids, such as
water, milk or coffee.
■ Do not fill solid fats in the oil tank to avoid fire or overheating the appliance.
Solid fats must be completely melted before adding into the oil tank.
■ Always use oil that can withstand high temperature.
■ Do not mix different types of oil. Avoid adding fresh oil to used oil.
WARNING: Never use the deep fryer without oil in the tank. It may result in
overheating, fire or damage to the appliance.
6. Close the lid (1).
7. Ensure the Thermostat Control (8) is moved to "OFF", then plug the power cord
into the wall socket.
8. Slide the Thermostat Control (8) to the desired temperature (OFF-130-160-170-
180-190 °C), according to the type of food being fried. The HEATING indicator light
(6) will illuminate when the appliance is heating up the oil to the set temperature,
and will go off when the set temperature is reached.
9. When the HEATING indicator light (6) goes off, press the Lid release button (5) to
open the lid, and lower the frying basket (10) slowly into the oil tank (4) to avoid
splashes or overflowing.
10. Close the lid.
NOTE:
■ During frying, the HEATING indicator light will cycle on and off. This is
normal and indicates that the appliance is automatically maintaining the
set temperature.
■ The appliance may emit a large amount of steam at the beginning of the
cooking process. This is due to the water content of the food and moisture
on the surface of the food. The steam may escape from the air vents (3). As
the food cooks, the surface dehydrates rapidly to leave a crispy skin.
