Kambrook Recommends Safety First
IMPORTANT: Please retain your
instruction book for future use.
At Kambrook, we believe that safe performance is the first priority in any
consumer product, so that you, our valued customer can confidently
use and trust our products. We ask that any electrical appliance that
you use be operated in a sensible fashion with due care and attention
placed on the following important operating instructions.
Important Safeguards For Your Kambrook
Stainless Deep Fryer
• Carefully read all instructions before
operating the Kambrook Stainless Deep
Fryer for the first time and save for future
reference.
• Remove and safely discard any
packaging material and promotional
labels before using the deep fryer for
the first time.
• To eliminate a choking hazard for
young children, remove and safely
discard the protective cover fitted to
the power plug of this appliance.
• Do not place the deep fryer near
the edge of a bench or table during
operation. Ensure the surface is level,
clean and free of water and other
substances.
• Always ensure the deep fryer is properly
assembled before use. Follow the
instructions provided in this book.
• The deep fryer is not intended to be
operated by means of an external timer
or separate remote control system.
• Avoid the use of extension cords.
Serious hot oil burns may result from
a deep fryer being pulled off a table
or bench top. Do not allow the power
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 the deep fryer is completely dry
and free of water before adding any
oil. When deep frying, ensure water
does not come in contact with hot oil
as this will cause the oil to bubble and
splatter.
• Always add the required amount of oil
to the deep fryer before switching the
power on at the power outlet.
• Water and oil do not mix – never add
any water or other liquid to hot oil. Even
small amounts of water will cause the
oil to splatter.
• 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 fire hazard.
• Do not use the deep fryer on a sink
drain board.
• Do not place the deep fryer on or near
a hot gas or electric burner, or where it
could touch a heated oven.
• Position the deep fryer at a minimum
distance of 20cm away from walls,
curtains, cloths and other heat sensitive
materials
• Always operate the deep fryer on a
stable and heat resistant surface. Do
not use on a cloth-covered surface,
near curtains or other flammable
materials.

unattended when in use.
• Do not place anything on top of the
deep fryer when the lid is on, when in
use and when stored.
• Always switch the control dial to the off
position, switch the deep fryer off at the
power outlet, then unplug the power
cord and cool completely, if appliance
is not in use, before cleaning, before
attempting to move the appliance,
disassembling, assembling and when

will continue to cycle on and
off in order to maintain the set
temperature throughout cooking.
CAUTION: Always add
the required amount
of oil to the deep fryer
BEFORE switching
the power on at the
power point.
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
fill 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.
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).
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.
WARNING: Do not
exceed the maximum
mark with oil.
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.
Replace the lid.

Lift 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.
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.
WARNING: This product
must be filled with oil
to the correct marked
level. The product will
be severely damaged
if heated without oil in
the bowl.
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.
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 fire
hazard.
Water and oil do not mix – never
add any water or other liquid to hot
oil. Even small amounts of water will
cause the oil to splatter.
NOTE: Do not overfill the basket
with food, too many items lower
the oil temperature causing
food to absorb oil and not
cook properly.
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.
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.
Never leave the deep fryer
unattended while in use.
Ensure cord is fully extended while
in use.
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.

Handy Hints
Recommended Oils
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.
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.
Sunflower Oil
• Too much food in the basket (do
not fill more than two thirds full).
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.
• 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.
Canola Oil
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.
Safflower Oil
Safflower oil is derived from the
• Oil can be re-used several times
before it starts to break down
seeds of 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.
(smoke point decreases, ie; the oil
will burn at a lower temperature,
fried food will be less crisp). 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 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.
Peanut Oil
Peanut oil is obtained from the kernels
of the ground nut or peanut. It has a
delicate flavour, nutty odour and has
a high smoke point. Peanut oil is high
in monounsaturated oil and vitamin E.
• Olive oil is not recommended for
deep frying due to its low smoke
point.

Care and Cleaning
Window cleaner may also be used.
Do not use any abrasive cleaners as
they may scratch the outside surface.
CAUTION: Never
immerse the deep fryer
body or cord In water or
any other liquid.
To Clean The Mesh Basket
And Handle
Before cleaning, switch the deep
fryer off at the power outlet and
unplug the power cord.Allow oil
to cool completely. Oil will retain its
temperature for a long time after use.
Do not attempt to move or carry the
deep fryer, element and control panel
while it is hot.
Oil should be filtered after each
use and stored in a clean, air-tight
container in a cool area.
Good quality oil can be used several
times. Do not store the oil in the deep
fryer.
The basket and handle can be
washed in warm soapy water and
dried with a cloth. Do not wash in a
dishwasher as this may damage the
basket over time.
To Remove The Replaceable
Filters
Open the filter cover by depressing
the latch on top of the lid.The filter
cover will lift off.The filters can then be
removed.
Replace filters after approximately
60 uses.
Replacement filters can be obtained
from Kambrook Spare Parts (Australia)
– Contact: 1300 139 798 (New Zealand
customers) – 0800273845.
Discard used oil in a sealed container
with household waste. Do not pour
down a sink or drain.
To Clean The Interior Non-
Stick Coated Surface
Lift the control panel out of the unit
and lift out the non-stick cooking
bowl.After removing the oil, the
interior of the bowl and the inside
of the lid should be wiped with an
absorbent paper towel, then cleaned
using a soft cloth dampened with a
little warm water and mild washing up
liquid.Wipe again with a clean damp
cloth to remove any traces of washing
up liquid and dry thoroughly with a
soft cloth.
Do not use any abrasive cleaners,
such as steel wool to clean the non-
stick surface of your deep fryer as this
will scratch the coating.
The exterior of the body and lid can
be cleaned with a slightly dampened
cloth and mild washing up liquid.
