Operating Instructions

Deep Frying

1. Ensure the oil container is filled with oil to the correct level.
2. Set the temperature control dial to the desired frying temperature. Refer to the temperature guide on the appliance or food packaging. The power indicator light will illuminate.
3. Allow the oil to heat up. The indicator light will turn off when the set temperature is reached, and will cycle on and off during operation to maintain temperature. The rapid heating element (840 Watts) ensures quick warm-up.
4. Carefully lower the frying basket with food into the hot oil. Do not overload the basket to ensure even cooking and prevent oil overflow.
5. Close the lid. The integrated odor filter helps reduce frying smells.
6. Fry for the recommended time. Use the viewing window on the lid to monitor the cooking process without opening the lid.
7. Once cooked, carefully lift the frying basket and hook it onto the edge of the oil container to drain excess oil.
8. Remove the food and place it on paper towels to absorb any remaining oil.
9. When finished, turn the temperature dial to 'OFF' and unplug the appliance.

Fondue

1. Ensure the frying basket is removed and the fondue ring is securely placed on the oil container.
2. Fill the container with your chosen fondue liquid (oil, broth, cheese, chocolate).
3. Set the temperature control dial to the appropriate setting for your fondue type. For oil fondue, higher temperatures are typically used (e.g., 170-190°C). For cheese or chocolate fondue, lower temperatures are required.
4. Allow the liquid to heat up. The indicator light will signal when the temperature is reached.
5. Use the provided fondue forks to dip food items into the hot liquid. The colored tips of the forks help identify individual forks.
6. Exercise caution as the liquid will be hot.
7. When finished, turn the temperature dial to 'OFF' and unplug the appliance.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your appliance.

1. Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. This can take several hours for the oil to cool down.
2. Draining Oil: Once the oil has cooled, carefully pour it out of the removable container. Dispose of used oil responsibly.
3. Cleaning Removable Parts: The removable oil container, frying basket, lid, fondue ring, and fondue forks are dishwasher-safe. Alternatively, wash them with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reassembly or storage.
4. Cleaning Main Unit: Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers. Never immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid.
5. Odor Filter: The lid contains an odor filter. This filter may need occasional replacement depending on usage. Refer to the manufacturer's website or customer support for replacement filters.
6. Storage: Store the clean and dry appliance in a cool, dry place.
