Use a good quality solid fat if you prefer but remember never to mix your oils or fats. Oil level indicator 1 Pour your oil into the fryer until it reaches the maximum level indicated in the tank approximately 1. 1 litres of oil). Alternatively melt solid fat gently in a separate pan before transferring to the tank (approximately 1. 1kg of solid fat or solid oil). 2 Replace the basket into the oil and close the lid of the fryer by pressing down at both sides of the lid, this prevents steam escaping.

Instructions for use Opening the lid To unlock the safety lid, press the release button at the front. This lid is spring loaded and will rise up on its own. Removing the basket The basket in your fryer can be raised or lowered with the lid open only. To do this raise the lid to the open position, lift the basket and place it on the basket rest on the front wall of the tank. Allow excess oil to drain, shake the basket to ensure all the oil is removed before lifting out the basket. 4 Cooking in your fryer Preheating After approximately 20 minutes, the oil is at the right temperature. The light indicator may come on and go out once or twice with thermostat changes. 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 to the basket. 1 Ensure that the correct temperature has been reached (approximately 20 minutes pre-heating) open the lid of the fryer, leaving the basket in the down position. 2 Coat the raw food in the batter and allow to drain slightly to get rid of excess coating. Very carefully and slowly, lower the coated food into the hot oil, using suitable implement or tongs. This allows the batter to become solid and prevents it sealing to the mesh of the basket. You may now follow the instructions as given in `general cooking method' from point 3. AFTER USE, DISCONNECT YOUR FRYER FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BY REMOVING THE PLUG FROM THE WALL SOCKET. During frying The indicator light may come on and go out several times as the correct preset temperature is being maintained.
