[. . . ] · When opening the lid, stand back as some hot steam may be released. · Always use oven gloves when removing or replacing lid during use. · Be careful not to touch those surfaces of the fryer which become hot when in use. Other safety considerations · Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Telephone the helpline number (the telephone number can be found on the front cover) for advice on examination and repair. [. . . ] · Do not over fill the basket when frying, the food must be covered with the bubbling hot oil, depending on the size and shape of the food to be cooked. 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 Filling with oil Pour oil into the tank up to the maximum level indicated (approx 2. 7 litres of oil). Lightly smear the inside of the viewing window with the oil to inhibit any condensation which could reduce visibility. · Use good quality liquid vegetable oil, see getting the best from your fryer page 7. Cooking WARNING: Never operate the fryer without oil in the bowl. 2 Plug into the mains and switch the power on at the socket and switch on the fryer to position I. 4 Set the variable temperature control to the required setting see `frying times and temperature section'. 5 The fryer is now pre-heating the oil, the green temperature light may go out and come back on once or twice during preheat. After approx 15 minutes the oil will be at the correct temperature. 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. Remove the basket from the fryer, add the frozen food and shake the basket to remove excess ice and frost. · You can observe the cooking process by raising the lid or looking through the viewing window to observe progress. 6 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 rest position for a few seconds to drain. 7 Lift the basket out and shake the fried food into a dish with oil absorbing kitchen paper. · You can store the basket in the oil. 6 DF45075M Rev 1 20/12/04 11:15 AM Page 7 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. 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. Cooking · Your food must always be completely dry in order to avoid overflowing, to prolong the use of the oil and to give a crispier finish to the food. · As a general guide pre-cooked foods need a higher cooking temperature than raw foods. · Do not overload the basket as it may cause a drop of temperature that may leave the food greasy. Remember that your food may begin to turn golden brown before it is cooked through. [. . . ] · This guarantee is valid in the UK and Ireland only.
