BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST  
BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST cont’d  
We at Breville are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with  
you, our valued customer foremost in mind. In addition we ask that you exercise a degree of  
care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions:  
Always switch off then unplug the  
appliance when not in use or storing.  
Always ensure the heater element and  
controller are correctly positioned onto  
the bowl assembly before connecting to a  
power outlet.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING AND  
SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE  
The installation of a residual current  
device (safety switch) is recommended to  
provide additional safety protection when  
using electrical appliances. It is advisable  
that a safety switch with a rated residual  
operating current not exceeding 30mA be  
installed in the electrical circuit supplying  
the appliance. See your electrician for  
professional advice.  
Always turn the appliance off, then turn  
off at the power outlet and then unplug  
cord before attempting to move the  
appliance and before cleaning.  
Do not immerse the appliance body,  
supply cord or plug in water or any  
other liquid.  
cease use of the appliance and return the  
entire appliance to the nearest  
authorised Breville Service Centre for  
examination, replacement or repair.  
Keep the unit clear of walls, curtains and  
other heat sensitive materials (minimum  
distance 200mm).  
The appliance is not intended for use  
by young children or infirm persons  
without supervision.  
Always follow the maximum and  
minimum quantities of oil stated in the  
instructions and recipes.  
Strictly follow cleaning and  
care instructions.  
Do not leave the appliance unattended  
when in use.  
Do not exceed the maximum fill level  
(3 litres). Never overfill the bowl with oil.  
Extreme caution must be used when the  
appliance is filled with hot oil. Always  
allow the appliance to cool before  
removing the oil.  
Young children should be supervised  
to ensure that they do not play with  
the appliance.  
Always use the appliance on a dry,  
level surface.  
Do not move the deep fryer  
Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces,  
become knotted or hang from the edge  
of benchtops.  
during cooking.  
When deep frying, ensure no water  
comes in contact with hot oil as this will  
cause splattering. Ensure that the deep  
fryer is dry before adding any oil.  
Never lean over the deep fryer when  
lifting the lid. Excess trapped steam  
creating during the cooking process will  
be released when the lid is opened.  
Never pour oil out of the deep fryer when  
both the unit and oil are hot. Allow both  
the unit and contents to cool completely  
before removing oil.  
Do not place this appliance on or near a  
hot gas or electric burner, or where it  
could touch a heated oven.  
This appliance is for household use only.  
Do not use this appliance for other than  
its intended use. Do not use in moving  
vehicles or boats. Do not use outdoors.  
Regularly inspect the supply cord, plug  
and actual appliance for any damage.  
If found damaged in any way, immediately

7. Add food to the basket. Do not fill  
the basket so that it is more than  
two-thirds full.  
10. Raise the basket and place in holding  
position for a few minutes to drain the oil  
from the food, then serve (See fig 7).  
BEFORE FIRST USE  
When cooking the first batch  
Remove all packaging materials and any  
promotional labels from your deep fryer.  
Wash the lid, removable bowl and wire  
frying basket in hot soapy water and dry  
thoroughly. Wipe inside of the bowl with a  
damp cloth and dry thoroughly.  
of food, allow the deep fryer  
to cycle on and off twice (as  
indicated by the temperature  
ready light) before placing  
the food into the deep fryer.  
This will take approximately  
15-20 minutes.  
Uniform-sized pieces will  
cook more evenly.  
1. Place the deep fryer on a dry, level  
surface. Ensure the deep fryer is not too  
close to the edge of the bench top, and  
that the power cord or basket handle  
does not hang over the edge.  
8. Holding the fryer basket handle lift from  
the holding position and gently lower the  
basket into the oil.  
Fig. 7  
6. Once the oil has preheated, place the  
basket into the deep fryer, in the holding  
position, so it is raised above the oil, with  
the basket handle in the extended  
horizontal position (see fig 6).  
9. When the food is cooked, turn on/off switch  
to ‘Off’ then turn the power off at the  
power outlet and unplug the power cord.  
11. Allow the deep fryer to fully cool before  
emptying the oil and cleaning the unit.  
2. With the basket out of the deep fryer, add  
oil to the bowl. Ensure not to add less  
than the minimum level mark (2.5 litres)  
or exceed the maximum level mark  
(3 litres).  
3. Close the lid.  
4. Plug the power cord into a 230/240 volt  
power outlet and turn the power ‘on’.  
Turn the deep fryer temperature control  
dial to the desired temperature. The red  
power ‘On’ light will illuminate.  
Fig. 6  
5. Preheat the oil at 190c until the ‘green’  
temperature light illuminates. Then turn  
the variable temperature control to the  
desired temperature setting.  
The basket handle must be  
fully locked into place  
before use.  
DURING AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER COOKING, YOU MAY SEE STEAM RISING  
THROUGH THE FILTER VENT OPENINGS IN THE LID. THIS IS NORMAL,  
HOWEVER AVOID THIS AREA DURING COOKING TO PREVENT STEAM BURNS  
AS THE STEAM WHICH IS GENERATED IS AT A HIGH TEMPERATURE.  
ALWAYS ADD THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF OIL BEFORE  
SWITCHING THE POWER ‘ON’ AT THE POWER OUTLET.  
POWER CORD NEEDS TO BE FULLY EXTENDED BEFORE USE.  
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM FILL LEVEL (3 LITRES).  
AS THE BASKET ITSELF GETS VERY HOT, ONLY USE THE HANDLE TO  
HOLD OR CARRY THE BASKET FOR SERVING.

CARE AND CLEANING  
Before cleaning the deep fryer, always  
make sure the unit is switched off then  
disconnected from the power outlet.  
Make sure the unit and oil are completely  
cool. Do not attempt to move or carry the  
deep fryer while it is hot.  
Empty the bowl of cooled oil. As oil can  
be re-used several times (depending on  
type of food cooked), filter the oil through  
a fine sieve (such as a new chux cloth).  
The removable enamel bowl allows for  
easy cleaning. Wipe down the bowl with  
absorbent paper, then a damp cloth and a  
little mild detergent. Finally wipe the  
bowl with a clean damp cloth and dry  
with a clean dry cloth.  
COOL ZONE TECHNOLOGY  
AUTO CUT-OUT AND  
RESET BUTTON  
Always add the required amount of oil  
BEFORE switching the power on at the  
power outlet. An Auto cut out safety switch  
will be activated if the unit is turned on  
without oil in the bowl.  
Wash the basket in hot soapy water.  
Dry thoroughly.  
To re-activate the unit, let the unit cool  
and then reset by pushing the button on the  
controller assembly.  
Remove the front panel of the deep fryer  
by lifting upwards (see fig 1).  
Wipe over the front panel and element  
with a damp cloth and a little mild  
detergent. Finish off with a clean damp  
cloth followed by a clean dry cloth.  
The removable bowl and frying basket  
and both dishwasher safe.  
The submerged heating element system on  
this deep fryer allows oil to be heated more  
effectively where the food is cooked.  
Oil below the heating element is cooler  
and allows cooked foods including crumbs to  
sink to the bottom of the enamel bowl and  
not cook any further.  
Wipe over the outside of the unit with a  
damp cloth and a little mild detergent.  
Finish off with a clean damp cloth  
followed by a clean dry cloth.  
Fig. 1  
Grasp each side of the removable bowl  
and lift upwards (see fig 2).  
This allows cleaner oil to be removed  
from the bowl for re-use without the  
inclusion of food particles.  
Reassemble unit for storage.  
The Cool Zone Technology results  
in a lesser need to change cooking oil. Used  
oil can be re-used more than in standard  
deep fryers.  
Fig. 2  
ALWAYS TURN THE APPLIANCE OFF, THEN TURN THE POWER 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  
ASSEMBLY OF THE DEEP FRYER, THE SUPPLY CORD OR PLUG IN WATER  
OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.

COOKING GUIDE  
HANDY HINTS  
The cooking times given in this chart are only a guide, and should be adjusted to suit the  
quantity of food being deep fried.  
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:  
RECOMMENDED OILS  
Vegetable oil:  
A general term that refers to a blend of  
oils extracted from various seeds and fruits.  
Vegetable oil has a very mild flavour  
and aroma. It is low in cholesterol and  
saturated fats.

Chicken Pieces (crumbed)  
Prawn Cutlets (raw, crumbed)  
Potato Wedges (pre cooked)  
Potato Chips  
Too much food in the basket (do not fill  
more than two thirds full).  
Sunflower oil:  
The oil is extracted from the seeds of the  
sunflower plant. It is pale yellow in colour  
with virtually no flavour. Sunflower oil is  
high in polyunsaturated fats and low in  
saturated fats.  
Use a good quality oil. For best results  
we recommend the oils listed. We do not  
recommend fats that deteriorate quickly  
such as lard or dripping. Deep frying in  
butter or margarine is also not  
French Fries (thin)  
Onion Rings  
Canola oil:  
recommended because of the low smoke-  
point temperatures.  
Made from seeds of the canola plant. It is  
relatively low in saturated fats, contains  
Omega 3 fatty acids and has a bland  
neutral flavour.  
Spring Rolls (small)  
Mushrooms  
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). Filter the cooled oil  
through a fine sieve then store in an  
airtight container in a dark place. As oil  
will absorb food flavours, it’s a good idea  
to label the container with the type of  
food the oil was used for. For example  
you wouldn’t want to deep fry a dessert in  
oil previously used for cooking fish. A fine  
sieve can be a new chux cloth, paper  
coffee filter or clean cotton material.  
Olive oil is not recommended for deep  
frying due to its low smoke-point.  
Fruit Fritters  
Safflower oil:  
Safflower oil is derived from the seeds  
from the safflower. It is strong in flavour,  
rich in colour and has a high smoke-point.  
Safflower oil is high in polyunsaturated fats  
and vitamin E.  
Peanut oil:  
Peanut oil is obtained from the kernels of  
the groundnut or peanut. It has a delicate  
flavour, nutty odour and has a high smoke-  
point. Peanut oil is high in mono-  
unsaturated oil and vitamin E.
