Belangrike veiligheidsinstruksies
Volg altyd basiese veiligheidsmaatreëls wanneer u elektriese toestelle gebruik om die risiko van brand, elektriese skok en beserings te verminder.
- Lees alle instruksies voor gebruik.
- Moenie aan warm oppervlaktes raak nie. Gebruik handvatsels of knoppe.
- Om teen elektriese skok te beskerm, moenie die koord, proppe of die toestel in water of ander vloeistof dompel nie.
- Noukeurige toesig is nodig wanneer enige toestel deur of naby kinders gebruik word.
- Trek uit die stopcontact wanneer dit nie gebruik word nie en voor skoonmaak. Laat afkoel voor jy onderdele aan- of afhaal, en voordat jy die toestel skoonmaak.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact qualified service personnel for examination, repair, or adjustment.
- Die gebruik van bykomstighede wat nie deur die toestelvervaardiger aanbeveel word nie, kan beserings veroorsaak.
- Moenie buite gebruik nie.
- Moenie dat koord oor die rand van tafel of toonbank hang, of aan warm oppervlaktes raak nie.
- Moenie op of naby 'n warm gas- of elektriese brander, of in 'n verhitte oond plaas nie.
- Uiterste versigtigheid moet gebruik word wanneer 'n toestel wat warm olie of ander warm vloeistowwe bevat, verskuif word.
- Koppel altyd eers die prop aan die toestel, en steek dan die koord in die muursok. Om te ontkoppel, draai enige beheer na "af" en verwyder dan die prop uit die muursok.
- Moenie die toestel vir ander as die bedoeling gebruik nie.
- Maak seker dat die toestel op 'n stabiele, hittebestande oppervlak geplaas word.
- Never fill the oil above the MAX fill line or below the MIN fill line.
- Always ensure the drain tap is securely closed before filling with oil and during operation.

Opstel instruksies

- Aanvanklike skoonmaak: Before first use, clean the oil pan, frying basket, and lid with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Ensure the heating element and electrical components do not come into contact with water.
- Kragverbinding: Connect the power plug to a suitable electrical outlet. This appliance requires a 400 Volt connection with 4500 KW power. Ensure your electrical supply matches these requirements.

Bedryfsinstruksies
- Krag aan: Ensure the fryer is properly filled with oil and connected to power. Turn the main power switch to the "ON" position.
- Stel temperatuur: Use the temperature control knob to select the desired frying temperature. The indicator light will illuminate, showing that the heating element is active.
- Voorverhitting: Allow the oil to preheat to the set temperature. The indicator light will turn off once the desired temperature is reached. It will cycle on and off during operation to maintain the temperature.
- Braai Kos: Carefully place food into the frying basket. Do not overload the basket, as this can lower the oil temperature significantly and result in soggy food. Slowly lower the basket into the hot oil.
- Gaarmaaktyd: Fry food for the recommended time or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Verwydering van kos: Carefully lift the frying basket out of the oil. Allow excess oil to drain back into the pan. Place fried food on a wire rack or paper towels to further drain.
- Skakel af: After use, turn the temperature control knob to the lowest setting and switch the main power to "OFF". Unplug the appliance from the power outlet.
Note on Cold Zone: This fryer features an integrated cold zone. This area below the heating element collects food debris, preventing it from burning and extending the life of your frying oil.
Onderhoud en Skoonmaak
Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and hygiene of your deep fryer.
- Afkoel: Always allow the oil and the fryer to cool completely before cleaning. This can take several hours.
- Dreineer olie: Place a suitable container under the drain tap. Open the drain tap to empty the oil from the pan. Filter the oil if it is still suitable for reuse, or dispose of it responsibly.
- Verwyder komponente: Carefully remove the frying basket, lid, and heating element assembly. The heating element can be lifted out for easier cleaning of the pan.
- Clean Pan and Components: Wash the oil pan, basket, and lid with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. For stubborn residue, a specialized fryer cleaner may be used. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- Maak verwarmingselement skoon: Vee die verwarmingselement af met adamp lap. Moenie die verhittingselement of beheerpaneel in water dompel nie.
- Hermontering: Once all parts are clean and dry, reassemble the fryer. Ensure the heating element is correctly seated before refilling with oil.
