HOW TO ASSEMBLE/DISASSEMBLE Your Breville product Step 1 Step 4 Remove lid from the deep fryer by grasping the handle on top and lift off.

OPERATING your Breville product
PAge header..... Operating Your Breville product Before first use Step 4 Remove all packaging materials and any promotional labels from your deep fryer. Plug the power cord into a 230/240 volt power outlet. Ensure cord is fully extended. Switch on at power outlet and the deep fryer will beep once; the red POWER light will illuminate on the display panel and a Celsius temperature will be displayed on the LCD (liquid crystal display) screen. The ºC will show the last temperature selection.
PAge header..... Operating Your Breville product NOTE Step 8 When the deep fryer is switched off at the power outlet and then switched back on, the cooking temperature display will default to the Celsius temperature scale. Remove the lid and place the frying basket (with the basket handle locked into the extended horizontal position) into the holding position above the frying bowl (slip the slot on the frying basket onto the corresponding tongue in the frying bowl). B.
Operating Your Breville product NOTE The functions can be cancelled at any time by pressing the button. Care should be taken when lowering food in the frying basket into the hot oil. Some splattering may occur. When cooking foods coated with batter, lower the frying basket into the hot oil then carefully add coated food directly into the oil using metal tongs – cook a few pieces at a time – and follow steps 10–16.
Operating Your Breville product WARNING During and immediately after cooking, steam may rise through the filter vent openings in the lid. This is normal, however avoid touching this area during cooking to prevent steam burns as the steam generated is at a high temperature. As the basket gets very hot, only use the handle to hold or carry the basket for serving. Ensure the basket handle is locked into position. Take care when opening the lid.
COOKING GUIDE
Cooking Guide The cooking times given in this chart are a guide only and should be adjusted to suit the quantity of food being deep fried. Food Temperature Approx.
Cooking Guide Handy Hints Food should be crisp when deep fried. If results are soggy, it’s because the oil isn’t hot enough. This can be attributed to one or more of the following: • Not enough preheating time. • Temperature setting is too low. • Too much food in the basket (do not fill basket more than two thirds full). • Do not use solid frying oil, only use liquid oils. • Use a good quality liquid oil. For best results we recommend oils listed.
CARE & CLEANING for your Breville product
PAge header..... Care & cleaning • Before cleaning, always ensure the deep fryer is turned off and disconnected from the power outlet. • Ensure the deep fryer and oil are completely cool. Oil will retain its temperature for a long time after use. Do not attempt to move or carry the deep fryer, element or control panel while they are hot. • Wash the frying basket in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. • Remove the control panel/element of the deep fryer by lifting upwards.
Care & cleaning IMPORTANT Never immerse the deep fryer control panel, element or cord in water or any other liquid. Always turn the appliance off at the power outlet and then unplug cord before attempting to move the appliance and before cleaning. Do not, under any circumstances, immerse the control panel/element, the power cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
