limits (L). For best results, use good quality peanut oil.
PREHEATING
• Place the food to be fried in the basket (I), without exceed-
ing the maximum level indicated on the basket (fig. 6).
Check that the handle of the basket is correctly positioned
(pos. 2 in Fig. 2).
• Connect to the mains supply. Both lights (E) and (F) come
on.
PROGRAMMING THE DEEP FRYER
Use the “-/+” buttons (B) to set the temperature from 248°F to
374°F (120°C to 190°C). Pressing the button once increases or
decreases the temperature by 9°F (5°C).
Use the MODE (C) button to access the temperature or time set-
tings. Use the “-/+” buttons (B) to adjust cooking time from 0
to 60 minutes. Pressing the button once increases or decreases
time by 30 seconds. After setting the temperature and time,
press the START/STOP button (D) (if the time has not been set,
the deep fryer will not begin the heating process). The deep fry-
er begins the heating process. The red light (E) comes on. During
this process, you can still modify temperature and cooking time
using the “-/+” buttons (B) and the MODE (C) button to modify
the selection.
When the appliance reaches the set temperature, the green
light (F) comes on, the red light (E) go off and the deep fryer
emits two “beeps”.
STARTING FRYING
• As soon as the green indicator light (F) comes on, lower
the basket (I) into the oil very slowly to avoid the hot oil
splashing or overflowing.
• Close the cover.
• Press the START/STOP button (D). The display (A) shows
a countdown of the remaining cooking time. During this
process, you can still modify temperature and cooking
time using the “-/+” buttons (B) and the MODE (C) button.
At the end of the countdown the deep fryer emits three
beeps. Green lights (F) go off. The temperature returns to
the value set previously. If the START/STOP button (D) is not
pressed, the appliance does not begin the countdown and
after 30 minutes the preset settings are restored.
• A significant amount of steam will be released. This is com-
pletely normal.
• It is normal for steam to be given off from the cover and
condensation to drip from the edge of the cover.
• To avoid burns, never put your hands above the cover filter
or deep fryer itself while in use. Before opening the cover,
lift it slightly to allow steam to escape from one side.
END OF FRYING
• At the end of the cooking time, the deep fryer emits three
“beeps”. Lift the basket (I) and check that the food has been
cooked to the required colour.
• Unplug from the outlet:
• Drain excess oil by hooking the basket (I) to the support
(M) on the bowl.
• Note: If cooking requires two phases or more than one
cooking cycle is to be performed, at the end ofthe first
phase, hook the basket (I) to the support on the bowl (M)
and wait for the light to go out. Then slowly lower the bas-
ket (I) into the oil again.
“OIL COUNTER” FUNCTION
This function monitors the length of time the oil has been used
and automatically indicates when it should be replaced. After
about 5 hours of operation, “
OIL
” is displayed and the appliance
emits a beep. The intermittent message is displayed at three
minute intervals. Replace the oil and reset the device by hold-
ing the “counter reset” button (G) down for at least 3 seconds.
When the appliance is reset, it emits a beep. The appliance is
now ready for the new oil countdown.
N.B.:
• When “
OIL
“ is displayed, this does not prevent normal op-
eration of the appliance.
• The life of the oil depends on what foods are being fried.
For example, coating with bread crumbs accelerates dete-
rioration of the frying oil. In this case, you are recommend-
ed to replace it before “
OIL
“ is displayed and the appliance
emits a beep.
• Use of the Lard Function automatically resets the oil count-
er.
LARD FUNCTION
This function is useful when you want to use lard instead of oil.
• Before pouring the oil, make sure that the oil drain tap (Q)
is well-shut.
• Cut the lard into pieces and place them directly in the bowl
(K). You are recommended to use the following quantities:
MIN 8 lb (3750 g) - MAX 9 lb (4200 g).
• Set the required temperature and cooking time, then press
the button (G). “
LF
” appears on the display and the deep
fryer starts melting the fat and bringing it to a temperature
of 284°F (140°C). After about 15 minutes, the lard will be
completely melted.
• The temperature now rises to the level set previously.
• As soon as the green light (F) comes on, lower the basket
(I) into the melted fat very slowly to avoid it splashing or
overflowing.
