Electric Deep Fryer
F24502
Frying
•
As soon as the green light comes on, the fryer is ready for use.
Lower the basket slowly into the bowl to avoid the hot oil splas-
hing or overflowing
•
A significant amount of steam may be released: this is completely
normal.
•
Note: the temperature light will come on and off as the fryer main-
tains the temperature.
•
When the set cooking time has elapsed, lift the basket and check
that the food has been cooked.
•
If the food is completely cooked, turn the appliance off by moving
the temperature control dial to the “•” position.
•
Unplug from the mains socket.
•
Allow the excess oil to drain by hooking the basket onto the sup-
port on the bowl.
•
N.B.To cook more than one batch of food, wait until the green
light comes on, indicating that the oil is again at the set temperatu-
re.Then slowly place the basket in the oil a second time.
How long the oil or fat lasts
The level of oil or fat must never fall below the minimum. Every
now and then it must be completely changed.The life of the oil or
fat depends on what foods are being fried. Food coated in bread-
crumbs, for example, dirties the oil more than simple frying. As for
any deep fryer, the oil deteriorates after being heated a number of
times.Therefore, even if used correctly, it should be completely
changed on a regular basis.
Oil drain tap
CAUTION! To avoid getting burnt do not drain oil when
oil is hot. Allow to cool completely.
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the basket.
2. Open the oil drain cover.
3. Open the tap by turning it anticlockwise.
4. Run the liquid into a container (see fig. 6), making sure it doe-
sn’t overflow.
5. Wipe any deposits from the bowl using a soft cloth or kitchen
paper.
6. Close the tap by turning it clockwise.
7. Close the cover.
•
The cool, drained oil can be reused. Simply pour through fine
muslim or absorbant paper to filter it.
It is a good idea to keep the oil used to fry fish separate from
that used to fry other food. If lard or fat is used, make sure it
does not cool down too much, otherwise it will solidify.
