8Cooking with Your Kambrook Stainless Steel Deep Fryer Before ˜rst use Remove any promotional labels and or packaging materials from the deep fryer. Wash the fryer basket in warm soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the cooking bowl with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure the bowl is completely free of water before adding any oil. CAUTION: Always add the required amount of oil to the deep fryer BEFORE switching the power on at the power point. Place the deep fryer on a dry, level surface, ensuring the fryer is not close to the edge of the benchtop and that the cord is not hanging over the edge (refer to safety instructions, page 4). Lift off the lid and remove the frying basket. Pour up to 3 litres of good quality vegetable oil into the deep fryer. (The amount of oil should not be below the minimum mark or exceed the maximum mark printed inside of the fryer bowl). WARNING: Do not exceed the maximum mark with oil. Replace the lid.Plug the power cord into a 230V or 240V power outlet. Ensure cord is fully extended. Switch on at power outlet. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the desired temperature. The red ‚HEATING™ light will illuminate. Preheat the oil at the selected temperature until the green ‚ READY ™ light illuminates. Allow the green ‚HEATING ™ light to cycle on and off several times in order for the oil to reach an even temperature. NOTE: The green ‚ READ Y™ light will continue to cycle on and off in order to maintain the set temperature throughout cooking. Once the oil has preheated, place the basket into the raised position by placing the silver hook on the rim of the bowl, with the basket handle in the extended positon.Add food into the fryer basket. Do not ˜ll the basket so that it is more than two thirds full. Holding the fryer basket handle, lift from the holding position and gently lower the basket into the oil. NOTE: Care should be taken when lowering food in the frying basket into the hot oil. Some splattering may occur. You may choose to cook with the lid on or off the deep fryer. When the food is cooked, raise the basket out of the oil to drain, then turn the Temperature Control Dial to the ‚OFF™ position. Switch the power off at the power outlet and remove the power plug. Keep the basket in the raised position for a short time to drain any excess oil from the food before serving. KDF460_KDF560_IB_FA.indd 825/11/09 2:14 PM

9Lift the basket upwards to remove. Place the food on a heat resistant plate or tray lined with kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil. If continuing to cook, allow the unit to reheat until the green ‚ READY ™ light illuminates. Allow the deep fryer to fully cool before emptying the oil or cleaning the unit.WARNING: This product must be ˜lled with oil to the correct marked level. The product will be severely damaged if heated without oil in the bowl. Solid oil products, such as butter, margarine or animal fats of any kind should not be used in the deep fryer as they increase the chance of ˜re hazard. Water and oil do not mix Œ never add any water or other liquid to hot oil. Even small amounts of water will cause the oil to splatter. Avoid the use of extension cords. Serious hot oil burns may result from a deep fryer being pulled off a bench top. Do not allow the cord to hang off the edge of a bench top where it may be grabbed by children, or become entangled by the user. Never leave the deep fryer unattended while in use. Ensure cord is fully extended while in use.CAUTION: The deep fryer will generate a lot of heat and steam during and after the cooking process. To prevent the risk of burns, do not touch or block the steam ventilation area on the lid. Take care when opening the lid. This product generates heat and steam at high temperatures, which will escape immediately when the lid is opened. Avoid touching hot surfaces. Extreme caution must be used when moving a product containing hot oil, other hot liquids or hot foods of any type. NOTE: Do not over˜ll the basket with food, too many items lower the oil temperature causing food to absorb oil and not cook properly. TIP: Ensure the oil has reached the selected temperature before lowering foods into the oil. Food cooked in oil that has not reached the correct temperature will absorb more oil and become soggy. TIP: Food should be of uniform size when placed in the basket to ensure even cooking. Wet foods should be patted dry to decrease the amount of water coming into contact with the oil.

11Food 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 ˜ll 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 the oils listed (refer to next section). We do not recommend fats that deteriorate quickly such as lard or dripping. Deep frying in butter or margarine is also not recommended because of the low smoke-point temperatures. Oil can be re-used several times before it starts to break down (smoke point decreases, ie; the oil will burn at a lower temperature, fried food will be less crisp). Filter the cooled oil through a ˜ne sieve then store in an airtight container in a dark place. As oil will absorb food ˚avours, it™s a good idea to label the container with the type of food the oil was used for. For example, you wouldn™t deep fry a dessert in oil previously used for cooking ˜sh. A ˜ne sieve can be a new chux cloth, paper coffee ˜lter or clean cotton material. Olive oil is not recommended for deep frying due to its low smoke point. Vegetable Oil A general term that refers to a blend of oils extracted from various seeds and fruits. Vegetable oil has a very mild ˚avour and aroma. It is low in cholesterol and saturated fats. Sun˚ower Oil The oil is extracted from the seeds of the sun˚ower plant. It is pale yellow in colour with virtually no ˚avour. Sun˚ower oil is high in polyunsaturated fats and low in saturated fats. Canola OilMade from seeds of the canola plant. It is relatively low in saturated fats, contains Omega 3 fatty acids and has a bland, neutral ˚avour. Saf˚ower Oil Saf˚ower oil is derived from the seeds of the saf˚ower. It is strong in ˚avour, rich in colour and has a high smoke point. Saf˚ower oil is high in polyunsaturated fats and vitamin E. Peanut Oil Peanut oil is obtained from the kernels of the ground nut or peanut. It has a delicate ˚avour, nutty odour and has a high smoke point. Peanut oil is high in monounsaturated oil and vitamin E. Handy HintsRecommended OilsKDF460_KDF560_IB_FA.indd 1125/11/09 2:14 PM
