3. Placement: Place the deep fryer on a stable, heat-resistant, and dry surface, away from walls and flammable materials. Ensure adequate ventilation.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Preheating Oil:
   • Ensure the lid is closed and the basket is empty and in the raised position.
   • Turn the temperature control dial to the desired frying temperature (e.g., 170°C for fries). The power indicator light will illuminate.
   • Allow the oil to preheat. The indicator light will turn off once the set temperature is reached. This may take 10-15 minutes depending on the oil volume and desired temperature.
2. Frying Food:
   • Carefully lower the food into the frying basket. Do not overload the basket; fry in smaller batches if necessary to maintain oil temperature and ensure even cooking.
   • Lower the basket into the hot oil using the handle.
   • Close the lid.
   • Set the timer dial to the desired cooking time (up to 30 minutes). The timer will alert you when the time is up.
   • Monitor the cooking process through the viewing window.
3. Draining Food:
   • Once cooking is complete, use the integrated lifting system to raise the basket above the oil level.
   • Allow excess oil to drain back into the tank for a few minutes.
   • Carefully remove the basket from the fryer and transfer the fried food to a serving dish lined with paper towels to absorb any remaining oil.
4. After Use:
   • Turn the temperature dial to the "OFF" position.
   • Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet.
   • Allow the oil and the fryer to cool completely before cleaning or storing. This can take several hours.

6. Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your deep fryer. Always ensure the appliance is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning.

• Draining Oil: Once the oil has cooled, carefully pour it into a suitable container for disposal or reuse (if filtered and still good). Do not pour hot oil down the drain.
• Cleaning the Oil Tank: The fixed tank has a non-stick coating. Clean it with warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the non-stick surface. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
• Cleaning the Basket and Lid: The frying basket and lid can be washed in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry with a soft cloth. Never immerse the main unit in water.
