Glen Rapid Fryer User's Guide

Using Your Rapid Fryer

Initial Setup:

• Remove all packaging material and stickers.
• Clean the basket and pan with hot water, washing liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge. They are also dishwasher-safe.
• Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.
• Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal, heat-resistant surface.
• Ensure the basket is placed properly in the pan.

Operation:

• This is a hot air fryer; do not fill the pan with oil or frying fat.
• Do not place anything on top of the appliance.
• Do not block the air inlets.
• Plug the mains cord into an earthed wall socket.
• Pull the pan out by the handle.
• Place ingredients in the basket. Do not overfill the basket.
• Slide the pan back into the appliance securely. Never use the pan without the basket.
• Caution: The pan gets very hot during operation; hold only by the handle.
• Rotate the temperature knob to the desired setting (refer to 'Settings' table).
• Rotate the timer knob to set the required preparation time (0-30 minutes). The appliance turns on when the timer is set.
• To switch off, set the timer knob to 'OFF' or '0'.
• Add 3 minutes to the preparation time if the appliance is cold. You can preheat the appliance by setting the timer for over 3 minutes until the heating-up light goes out.
• The 'Power - ON' light will illuminate. The heating element cycles on and off to maintain temperature, indicated by the 'Heating - Up' light.
• Excess oil from ingredients collects at the bottom of the pan.
• Some ingredients require shaking halfway through cooking. Pull out the pan, shake it, and slide it back in. Caution: Do not press the basket release button while shaking.
• Tips for shaking: Remove the basket from the pan and shake only the basket to reduce weight. Set the timer to half the preparation time to hear a bell for shaking, or pull out the pan anytime to check ingredients (the unit stays on).
• When the timer bell rings, the preparation time is complete. Pull out the pan and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
• Check if ingredients are ready. If not, slide the pan back and add a few extra minutes.
• To remove small ingredients, press the basket release button and lift the basket. Do not turn the basket upside down with the pan attached.
• Steam may escape when the pan is opened.
• Empty the basket onto a plate or bowl. Use tongs for large or fragile ingredients.
• The appliance is ready for the next batch immediately.

Making Home Made Fries

1. Peel and cut potatoes into sticks.
2. Wash thoroughly and dry with kitchen paper.
3. Toss sticks with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl until coated.
4. Place sticks in the basket, ensuring excess oil stays in the bowl.
5. Fry according to instructions in the 'Using Your Rapid Fryer' section.

Cleaning

Settings

This table provides basic settings for ingredients. Settings are indications; experience will help master the process. Adding oil to fresh potatoes and frying within minutes enhances crispiness. Avoid extremely greasy ingredients like sausages. Snacks suitable for ovens can be prepared here. Use baking tins for cakes, quiches, muffins, or fragile/filled ingredients. Reheat ingredients at 150°C for up to 10 minutes.

Note: Add 3 minutes to the preparation time when starting with a cold rapid fryer.

Tips

• Smaller ingredients generally require slightly shorter preparation times.
• Larger amounts of ingredients may need slightly longer preparation times; smaller amounts may need shorter times.
• Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through cooking optimizes results and prevents uneven frying.
• Add oil to fresh potatoes for crispiness and fry within minutes of adding oil.
• Avoid preparing very greasy ingredients like sausages.
• Oven-ready snacks can be prepared in the rapid fryer.
• Use pre-made dough for quick filled snacks; it requires less preparation time than homemade dough.
• Place a baking tin or oven dish in the basket for cakes, quiches, or fragile/filled ingredients.
• Reheat ingredients at 150°C for up to 10 minutes.
