Important Safety Instructions

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons.

• Read all instructions before using the appliance.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or the heating element assembly in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact customer service for examination, repair, or adjustment.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
• Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "off", then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

Product Components

Familiarize yourself with the parts of your Orbegozo FDR 16 Deep Fryer:

• Control Panel with Thermostat: For temperature regulation and power control.
• Heating Element: Submerged in oil for heating.
• Stainless Steel Oil Pot: Removable container for frying oil.
• Frying Basket: With a foldable handle for immersing and lifting food.
• Lid: To cover the oil pot.
• Fryer Body: Stainless steel exterior housing.

Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and stickers from the fryer. Retain packaging for storage if desired.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the removable oil pot, frying basket, and lid in warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Wipe the exterior of the fryer body with a damp cloth. Ensure the heating element and control panel are never immersed in water.
3. Assembly:
   • Place the fryer body on a stable, heat-resistant, and dry surface.
   • Insert the clean, dry stainless steel oil pot into the fryer body.
   • Attach the heating element assembly to the back of the fryer body, ensuring it clicks securely into place. The fryer has a safety system that prevents operation if the heating element is not correctly installed.
   • Place the frying basket inside the oil pot.
4. Adding Oil: Fill the oil pot with cooking oil (vegetable oil, sunflower oil, etc.) between the minimum and maximum fill lines indicated inside the pot. Do not overfill or underfill. The capacity is 1.5 liters.

Operating Instructions

1. Pre-heating the Oil

1. Ensure the fryer is properly assembled and filled with oil.
2. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet (230 Volts).
3. Turn the thermostat dial to the desired temperature setting (up to 200°C). Refer to the cooking guide below for common food temperatures. The "HEAT" indicator light will illuminate, indicating the fryer is heating.
4. Wait for the oil to reach the set temperature. The "HEAT" indicator light will turn off when the temperature is reached, and cycle on and off during frying to maintain the temperature.

2. Frying Food

1. Carefully place the food into the frying basket. Do not overload the basket, as this can lower the oil temperature and result in soggy food.
2. Slowly lower the basket into the hot oil. Be cautious of oil splatters.
3. Fry for the recommended time or until the food is golden brown and cooked through.
4. Once cooked, carefully lift the basket out of the oil.

3. Oil Draining Position

The frying basket features a convenient oil draining position. After lifting the basket from the oil, hook the basket onto the edge of the oil pot to allow excess oil to drain back into the pot. This helps reduce oil consumption and makes food less greasy.

Cooking Guide (Approximate Times and Temperatures)

Note: These are approximate times. Always cook food thoroughly and adjust based on quantity and desired crispness.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your deep fryer.

1. Always unplug the fryer and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Hot oil can cause severe burns.
2. Draining Oil: Once cooled, carefully pour the used oil into a suitable container for disposal. Do not pour oil down the drain.
3. Removable Parts: The stainless steel oil pot, frying basket, and lid are dishwasher safe. Alternatively, wash them in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
4. Heating Element and Control Panel: Wipe the heating element and control panel with a damp cloth. Never immerse these parts in water or any other liquid. Ensure they are completely dry before reassembling or storing.
5. Exterior Body: Wipe the exterior stainless steel body with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
6. Storage: Store the clean and dry fryer in a cool, dry place.
