• If smoke or sparks appear in the apparatus, remove the plug from the socket immediately
and get an authorized repair engineer to check it.
• Remove the plug from the socket when cleaning, or when the device is not in use. Avoid
pulling the cord when removing the plug from the socket. Instead, hold the plug.
• Check that it is not possible to pull or trip over the cable or any extension cable.
PRIOR TO FIRST USE
• Remove all packaging from the apparatus and prepare for use according to safety
instructions.
• Clean lid (2), bowl (12), handle (14), basket (13), filter cover (3) and cabinet as described
under ‘Cleaning’.
• Check the anti-odour filter (16) is correctly fitted (as described under ‘Replacing anti-
odour filter’.)
NB! The apparatus may emit a little smoke and odour the first time it is used which does not
come from the food inside. This is due to oil residue from manufacture and is neither abnormal
nor dangerous.
USE
Heating the oil
1. Check the apparatus is switched off. Remove basket from bowl.
2. Check bowl is positioned with the hole in the basket at the front.
3. Pour the required amount of oil into the bowl. Fill the oil to somewhere between the
minimum and maximum indicator on the bowl o NB! Use only oil recommended for deep
frying and not other types of (solid) fats.
4. Close the lid.
5. Set temperature at selector (9) and switch on at mains.
6. Turn timer (10) to “ON” or use the timed frying function to select the desired number of
minutes. When the time has expired, a bell will ring and the apparatus will switch off
automatically (see ‘Using timer’ below). Remember that the apparatus must be switched
off manually by turning the timer to “OFF” if you have selected the “ON” function. The
power indicator light (7) will come on. Do not add the food until the required temperature
is reached.
• Once the oil begins to heat up, the temperature indicator light (8) comes on. The
indicator light goes off again once the required temperature has been reached. The
thermostat comes on and goes off during use, which merely means that it is
maintaining the selected temperature.
• It takes around 20 minutes for the oil to reach maximum temperature of 190 C.
Using timer
The apparatus is fitted with a mechanical timer which will switch it off when the time set has
expired. The timer can be set between 0 and 30 minutes. Turn the timer clockwise to the
required number of minutes. The apparatus will switch on. When the time has expired, a bell
will ring and the apparatus will switch off. Remember the oil will still be hot. Remove the food
immediately.
Cooking food
Follow the instructions below for cooking food. See also ‘Cooking tips’.
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.
• Make sure you remove as much ice as possible from frozen food.
• Avoid overfilling the basket. Do not fill the basket more than 2/3rds.
• Ensure basket handle is in the horizontal position.
