4. Operating Instructions

3. Preheat Oil: Wait for the 'Heating' indicator light to turn off, which means the oil has reached the set temperature. This may take several minutes.
4. Prepare Food: Ensure food is dry before placing it in the basket. Excess moisture can cause oil to splatter. Do not overload the basket.
5. Lower Basket: Carefully lower the frying basket with food into the hot oil. Use the cool-touch handle.
