Never use the deep fryer with the oil below the "min" level as this could cause the thermal cutout to trip. To replace it, contact an authorised service centre. Best results are obtained using a good quality oil suitable for deep frying such as corn oil or groundnut oil. Never use butter or margarine as it will smoke or bubble over.
