in its seat (N).
FILLING WITH OIL OR FAT
• Turn the folding handle of the basket until it locks into
place (pos. 2 in Fig. 2). Remove the basket (S) by lifting it
upwards.
• If oil is used, pour it into the bowl (R) until reaching the
maximum level indicated (see Fig. 3).
Never exceed this limit, as oil may overflow from the
container. The oil level should always be between the
maximum and minimum (F). The best results are obtained
using quality peanut oil.
• If lumps of fat are used, cut the lumps into pieces and melt
them in another container, then pour the liquefied fat into
the deep fryer bowl. Never melt the fat in the basket or on
the deep fryer heating element (see Fig. 4).
PREHEATING
• Place the food to be fried in the basket (S), without exceed-
ing the maximum level indicated on the basket (Fig. 8).
Check that the handle of the basket is correctly positioned
(pos. 2 in Fig. 2).
• Connect to the mains supply. Both indicator lights (B) and
(C) turn on.
• Set the thermostat (A) knob (see Fig. 5) to the desired tem-
perature (see cooking table), the green oil temperature
indicator light (C) turns off.
• Upon reaching the set temperature, the green indicator
light (C) turns on.
FRYING
• As soon as the indicator light (C) turns on, lower the basket
(S) into the oil very slowly to avoid splashing or spilling hot
oil.
• A significant amount of steam will be released: this is com-
pletely normal.
• When the cooking time expires, lift the basket (S) and
check if the food has reached the desired browning.
• If the food is completely cooked, turn the appliance off by
moving the thermostat knob (A) to the “•” position.
• Unplug from the mains socket.
• N.B. If you want to cook more food, wait until the green
indicator light turns on, which indicates the new set tem-
perature is reached. Then slowly lower the basket (S) into
the oil again.
HOW LONG THE OIL OR FAT LASTS
The level of oil or fat must never fall below the minimum. Every
now and then it must be completely changed. The life of the oil
or fat depends on what foods are being fried. Food coated in
breadcrumbs, for example, dirties the oil more than simple fry-
ing. As for any deep fryer, the oil deteriorates after being heated
a number of times! Therefore, even if used correctly, it should be
completely changed on a regular basis.
