3. Setup and Initial Use

3.1 Unpacking and Initial Cleaning

3.2 Placement and Oil Filling

1. Place the deep fryer on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure adequate ventilation around the appliance.
2. Insert the clean, dry removable pot into the main unit.
3. Pour cooking oil into the pot. Ensure the oil level is between the MIN and MAX indicators inside the pot. The fryer has a 1.5-liter oil capacity.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Frying Process

1. Ensure the appliance is properly assembled and filled with oil.
2. Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. The power indicator light will illuminate.
3. Turn the temperature control dial to your desired frying temperature (up to 190°C). The fryer will begin to heat the oil.
4. While the oil is heating, prepare your food. Ensure food is dry to minimize splattering.
5. Once the oil reaches the set temperature, carefully place the food into the frying basket. Do not overload the basket.
6. Slowly lower the frying basket into the hot oil.
7. Close the lid. Use the viewing window to monitor the cooking process without opening the lid, which helps contain odors with the anti-odor filter.
8. Fry for the recommended time or until food is golden brown and cooked through.
9. Using the cool-touch handle, carefully lift the frying basket out of the oil and hook it onto the edge of the pot to allow excess oil to drain.
10. Remove the fried food from the basket and place it on paper towels to absorb any remaining oil.
11. Repeat for additional batches if necessary.
