Read all instructions and keep in a safe place for future reference. Never use the fryer with the lid on, when the oil is heating up or cooling down or while frying. This can be dangerous as condensation can form on the underside of the lid which in turn may drop into the hot oil causing it to spit or boil over. [. . . ] Slowly lower the basket into the oil to allow any water that the food may contain to evaporate. To fry chips, first blanch them (4 to 6 minutes) at 170°C then increase the temperature to 180°C and lower the basket into the oil and continue to fry until the chips are brown (approximately 2 minutes). Meat, fish and pieces of poultry can be placed directly into the oil without using the basket. When cooking deep-frozen food, only fry small quantities at a time. The sudden evaporation of the water contained in frozen food might make the oil boil over. In order to keep your oil clean for as long as possible, do not add salt or spices directly into the oil during cooking. 7 9. If the oil smokes or bubbles a lot : either the temperature is too high or too low, or the oil has deteriorated and has to be changed. Do not add new oil but renew it entirely. When cooking, never leave the Fryer unattended. Fryers fitted with a timer : to wind the timer, turn clockwise to at least half way (15 minutes). For shorter times, return anti-clockwise to the desired position. Hold the Fryer firmly when setting the timer to ensure the Fryer does not move. AFTER FRYING 1. Take out the basket and hang it on the hook (10) to drain off the oil. Turn the thermostat knob back to `0' and disconnected the appliance. Wait until the oil is cold before covering it with the lid (2). Do not move the deep fryer until the oil is cold . IMPORTANT : THE TIMER DOES NOT TURN THE FRYER ON OR OFF, BUT ACTS AS AN INDICATION OF COOKING TIMES. OIL FILTERING 1. The frying residues which float on the oil's surface can be removed with a strainer. The other residues settle down in the « cool zone », under the heating element, avoiding any flavour and smell transference between the different dishes. It is not not necessary to filter the oil after each use, even when you have cooked different types and flavours of food one after the other. However oil lasts longer when it is regularly filtered. To do this, first wait until the oil is cold, then pour into a clean bowl or bottle and wash the oil container by hand or in a dishwasher, rinse and dry thoroughly.
