To clean the fryer, first ensure it is unplugged and completely cool. Remove the basket and oil container, then wash them with warm soapy water. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Never immerse the unit in water.
It is recommended to use oils with high smoke points such as canola, peanut, or sunflower oil for optimal frying results.
If the fryer stops working, check the power supply and circuit breaker. If it still doesn't work, unplug the fryer and press the reset button located at the back of the unit.
Ensure that the fryer is plugged in and the power switch is on. Check the thermostat setting to ensure it is set to the desired temperature. If the issue persists, the heating element may need inspection by a professional.
It's best to change the oil after 8-10 uses or if the oil becomes dark and has an off smell. Regularly filtering the oil after each use can also extend its life.
The maximum oil capacity for this fryer model is 3 liters. It's important not to exceed this limit to ensure safe operation.
While it's possible to fry without the basket, it is not recommended as it helps in even frying and makes it easier to remove food from the oil.
The fryer includes a safety cut-off feature that activates if the unit overheats, as well as non-slip feet to prevent accidents. Always follow safety instructions in the manual.
Some smoke is normal, especially if frying fatty foods. Excessive smoke may indicate oil contamination or overheating; ensure the correct temperature is set and the oil is clean.
After cleaning, ensure the fryer is completely dry before storing. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the power cord neatly wrapped to avoid damage.
