Before use always ensure that the internal tank is positioned correctly in the fryer body. ie the max/min level should be on the left of the fryer. Never connect the fryer to the electricity supply without placing oil in the tank first. If using solid fat, remove the lid and the basket, cut the fat into pieces and place them directly into the tank.

Features of your Stainless Deep Fryer Lid Allows steam to escape whilst aiding in the filtration of oil droplets. It also has a large viewing window to monitor your results.

Basket with 1.25kg food capacity The removable mesh cooking basket has a 1.25kg food capacity.
Cool-Zone The 2400 watt heating element is suspended in the oil, creating a ‘cool-zone’ at the bottom of the vessel. This prevents cooking debris burning which will effectively double the useful lifespan of the oil compared with other deep fryers.

Using your Sunbeam Stainless Deep Fryer continued Cooking in your Stainless Deep Fryer There are two methods of cooking in your fryer; one general method for most foodstuffs and another for home battered products. Note: During cooking, steam will build up in the fryer, so when lifting the lid use a kitchen glove or mitt to protect your hand. General cooking method (For pre-cooked, crumbed, floured or wrapped food.) 1. Adjust the control dial to the desired temperature.
Hints for perfect frying 1. Never use the fryer without oil. 2. Always use the best quality oil possible. We recommend corn, nut, seed or light olive oil. Never use butter, margarine or regular olive oil or extra virgin olive oil. 8 6. Large pieces of food should not be deep fried, as they take to long to cook thus absorbing too much oil. 3. Avoid mixing oils of different qualities or types. 7.

Care and Cleaning Care and Cleaning Cleaning should only be carried out when the fryer is switched off and the plug removed from the socket. Your fryer should have completely cooled. ➀ Lid and permanent filter Your stainless deep fryer features a permanent filter that we advise you to clean at regular intervals.

Care and Cleaning continued Always make sure that the tank is completely dry before you put it back into your fryer. Never immerse the control unit in water or any other liquid.

Remove the control unit and heating element. 12 Ensure that the wires connected to the heating element are not damaged whilst cleaning.
The Perfect Chip • For perfect fries and wedges, old potatoes are ideal. The potato should be of a low starch, waxy variety i.e. Sebago, Russet Burbank, Spunta, King Edward, Bintje. • Make sure that the chips are cut to even size to guarantee even cooking. • The cut chips should be rinsed under running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch from the potatoes, the starch burns at high temperatures. • Dry on kitchen towel before frying. • Remove the lid whilst cooking.
