INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Filling with oil or fat

• Raise thebasket (F)to the highestposition bypulling the

special “a” handle upwards (g.1).

 ThelidshouldALWAYSbeclosedwhenthebasketisraised

and lowered.

• Openlid“C”bypressingbutton“O”(g.2).

• Removethebasketbypullingitupwards(g.3).

• Pourintothecontainer1.2litresofoil(or1kg.offat).

WARNING:Thelevelmustalwaysbebetweenthemaximumand

minimum levels indicated.

Never use the deep fryer when the oil is below the “min” level as it

could cause the thermal safety device to come into operation; to

replace it you need to contact one of our service centres.

Best results are obtained by using a good peanut oil. avoid mixing

dierent types of oil. if you use lumps of solid fat, cut them into

small pieces so that the deep fryer does not heat up in the rst few

minutes without a covering of fat. the temperature must be set to

150°c until the fat has melted completely. the required tempera-

ture can then be set.

STARTING TO FRY

1. put the food which is to be fried into the basket, without ever

overlling it (max. 1 kg. of fresh potatoes).

in order to obtain a more even frying, we recommend con-

centrating the food especially around the perimeter of the

basket., leaving the central part more sparingly lled.

2. put the basket into the boiler pan in a raised position (g.3)

and close the lid by pressing lightly down upon it until the

hooks click. always close the lid before lowering the basket in

order to avoid hot oil from splashing out.

3. plug into the mains socket and set thermostat knob “N” to the

requiredtemperature(g.4).Whenthetemperaturesethas

been reached, signal lamp “M” will go o.

4. as soon as the signal lamp goes o, immerse the basket in the

oil, lowering the handle slowly after sliding the handle’s “B”

slider back.

“k” will show the minutes set.

2 the numbers will straight away begin to ash. this shows

that the cooking time has begun. the last minute is displayed

in seconds.

3 if an error is made, the new cooking time can be set by hol-

ding the button down for more than 2 seconds. the display

will reset and the process can then be repeated from point 1.

4 the minute timer will indicate the end of the cooking time

with two series of beeps about 20 seconds apart. to turn the

acoustic signal o, press the minute timer button “l”.

IMPORTANT:theminutetimerdoesnotturntheapplianceo.

Whenreplacingordisposing oftheappliance,the batterymust

be removed and disposed of according to current legislation as it

represents a hazard to the environment.

AFTER FRYING

Whenthecookingtimerunsoutraisethebasketandcheckifthe

food has reached the required golden colour. in the models tted

with a viewing window this check can be carried out by looking

through the window without opening the lid.

if cooking is complete, turn o the appliance by turning the ther-

mostat knob to the “O” position until the internal switch clicks.

drain excess oil by leaving the basket inside the deep fryer for a

while in the high position.

FILTERING THE OIL OR FAT

Werecommendthatyoucarryoutthisprocedureeachtimeyou

have nished frying as, especially when the food has been breaded

or oured, the food particles tend to burn if they remain in the li-

quid thus causing much quicker deterioration in the oil or fat.

check that the oil is cool enough (waiting about 2 hours).

1. remove the lid (g. 6) and the removable pan “p”, holding it

bythehandle“Q”(g.7).Emptythepan(g.8).

2. remove any residues from the pan using a sponge or ab-

sorbent paper. put the removable pan “p” back into the pan

housing.

3. place the basket in the high position and put the lter in the

bottom (g. 9). filters can be obtained from your dealer or an

authorised service centre.

4. pour the oil or fat into the deep fryer very slowly to avoid the

lter overowing (g. 10).

IMPORTANT:Oncetheoilhasbeenltered,itcanbekeptinside

the deep fryer. however, if the deep fryer is not to be used again

for some time, you are recommended to keep the oil in a closed

container to avoid it deteriorating. it is good practice to keep oil

used to fry sh separately from oil used to fry other foods

Whenusingfat,donotallowittocoolexcessivelyoritwillsoli-

CLEANING

Before cleaning, always remove the plug from the electrical so-

cket.

Never immerse the deep fryer in water or hold it under the tap. By

getting inside the water would cause short circuiting.

check that the oil is suciently cold (wait about 2 hours), then

empty out the oil or fat as previously described in the paragraph

headed “ltering the oil or fat”.

remove the lid as shown in g. 13.

COOKING HINTS

HOW LONG THE OIL OR FAT LASTS

the oil or fat must never go below the minimum level. from time

to time it is necessary to renew it completely. the length of time

the oil or fat lasts depends on what is fried.

Breading, for example, dirties the oil more than simple frying.

as for all types of deep fryer, the oil deteriorates if it is reheated

several times! therefore, even if it is used and ltered correctly, we

recommend replacing it completely fairly often.

since the deep fryer works with little oil, due to its rotating basket,

there is the considerable advantage that you only have to get rid of

about half the amount of oil that you would with the other deep

fryers on the market.

HOW TO FRY CORRECTLY

• Itisimportanttofollowtherecommendedtemperaturefor

every recipe. if the temperature is too low, the fried food ab-

sorbs oil. if the temperature is too high a crust quickly forms

on the outside while the inside remains uncooked.

• Thefoodwhichistobefriedmustonlybeimmersedwhen

the oil has reached the right temperature, i.e. when the signal

lamp goes o.

• Donotoverllthebasket.Thiswouldcausethetemperature

of the oil to drop suddenly, resulting in fried food which is too

greasy and not uniformly fried.

• Whenfryingsmallquantitiesoffood,thetemperatureofthe

oil must be set lower than the temperature indicated to avoid

the oil boiling too violently.

• Checkthatthefoodisthinlyslicedandofeventhickness,as

food which is too thick cooks badly on the inside, despite lo-

oking nice, while food of an even thickness reaches the ideal

cooking point all at the same time.

• Drythefoodcompletelybeforeimmersingitintheoilorfat,

as wet food becomes soggy after cooking (especially potato-

es). it is advisable to bread or our food which has a high wa-

ter content (sh, meat, vegetables), being careful to remove

the excess bread or our before immersing it in the oil.
