hot steam to pour out of filter cover “E” immediately after
this.
• At the start of cooking, immediately after the food has
been immersed in the oil, the internal wall of viewing
window “D” will steam up, before progressively clearing.
• It is normal for drops of condensation to form around the
basket handle while the appliance is working.
MODELS WITH ELECTRONIC MINUTE TIMER
1 Set the cooking time by pressing the “L” button. The di -
splay “K” will show the minutes set.
2 The numbers will straight away begin to flash. This shows
that the cooking time has begun. The last minute is displa-
yed 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 off, press the minute timer button “L”.
IMPoRTaNT: the minute timer does not turn the appliance off.
REPLACING THE MINUTE TIMER bATTERY (FIG. 5)
• Remove the minute timer from its housing by prising it
from the lower side (see fig. 5A).
• Turn the battery cover on the back of the battery anti -
clockwise (fig. 5B) until it comes free.
• Replace the battery with another of the same type
(L1131).
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
fitted with a viewing window this check can be carried out by
looking through the window without opening the lid.
If cooking is complete, turn off the appliance by turning the
thermostat 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 finished frying as, especially when the food has been bre-
aded or floured, the food particles tend to burn if they remain
in the liquid 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 (fig. 6) and the removable pan “P”, holding
it by the handle “Q” (fig. 7). Empty the pan (fig. 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 filter in
the bottom (fig. 9). Filters can be obtained from your dea -
ler or an authorised service centre.
4. Pour the oil or fat into the deep fryer very slowly to avoid
the filter overflowing (fig. 10).
IMPoRTaNT: once the oil has been filtered, 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 fish separately from oil used to fry other foods. When
using fat, do not allow it to cool excessively or it will solidify.
MAINTENANCE OF THE ANTI-ODOUR FILTER
Removable filter: over time, the anti-odour filter inside the lid
loses its efficiency. You are therefore recommended to replace it
after every 10/15 frying sessions. To replace, remove the plastic
filter grille (fig. 11/12).
CLEANING
Before cleaning, always remove the plug from the electrical
socket. 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 sufficiently cold (wait about 2 hours), then
empty out the oil or fat as previously described in the paragraph
headed “filtering the oil or fat”.
Remove the lid as shown in fig. 13.
The lid is removable, to take it off, proceed as follows: push the
lid back (see arrow “1” fig. 13) and at the same time, lift it up
(see arrow “2” fig. 13).
always remove the filter before immersing the lid in water.
To clean the removable pan “P”, proceed as follows:
• Remove it from the pan housing and wash with hot water
and washing up liquid or in a dish washer, use a soft cloth
with a neutral detergent, never use objects or abrasive de-
tergents.
• Rinse and dry thoroughly. If washed in a dish washer, make
sure it is positioned in such a way as to avoid scratching
the non-stick coating.
