[. . . ] Î · To protect against the risk of electric shock do not immerse in water or other liquid. · Unplug from the electrical outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance. · Never leave the fryer unattended when connected to the electricity supply. [. . . ] When using 2 small baskets both must be in place when frying to ensure that there is no escape of steam and fumes from the handle opening in the lid. 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, it may be necessary to part fill both baskets to ensure oil covers the food. There are two methods of cooking in your fryer; one general method for most food types and another for home battered products. 1 2 3 4 Disassembly sequence The fryer has to be disassembled and assembled following this procedure. Pull out the control pod. 5 Assembly is the reverse of the above process. · Removal of control pod 1 Grip the control pod as shown and pull out. 6 · 2 Replace by locating pod in the guides and push fully in. General cooking method 1 Place the baskets 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. The oil temperature and oil life expectancy will be improved. Filling with oil Pour oil into the tank up to the maximum level indicated (approx 2. 6 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 6. 5 3 Lower the baskets into the oil. · You can observe the cooking process by raising the lid or looking through the viewing window to observe progress. 5 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. 6 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. · Solid fat (lard) and solid oil can be used, this should be first melted in a pan until softened, then carefully transfered into the fryer bowl. IMPORTANT: Do not switch the fryer on until the fryer bowl is filled with oil or solid oil or lard. Cooking · Your food must always be completely dry in order to avoid overflowing, to prolong the use of the oil and to give a crisper finish to the food. · As a general guide pre-cooked foods need a higher cooking temperature than raw foods. · Do not overload the basket(s) 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. · Avoid leaving food to drain for too long in the basket as the food may become soft and lose its crunchiness. Metal utensils become hot and therefore should have insulated handles. When using metal utensils, take care not to damage the non-stick coating of the bowl. Most of the steam escapes harmlessly through the lid vent, but trapped steam may escape when opening the lid - so care is needed. 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.
