• Before use, check that the mains power supply corresponds to the voltage supply indicated
on the appliance.
• Before use, wash the bowl the lid (remove filters), oil saving set and the basket using hot
water then carefully dry the bowl.
• Never switch on the fryer before adding oil or fat. If the fryer is operated without oil or fat,
a thermostatly operated safety device interrupts the operation of the appliance. In this case,
it is necessary to contact one of our authorized service centres before re-using the appliance.
FILLING WITH OIL OR FAT
• Raise the basket to the highest position by pulling the special “B” handle upwards (fig.1).
The lid should ALWAYS be closed when the basket is raised and lowered.
• Open lid “D” by pressing button “V” (fig.2).
• Remove the basket by pulling it upwards (fig.3).
• Pour into the container 2.2 litres of oil (or 2 kg./4lb 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 quality oil. Avoid mixing different 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
first few minutes without a covering of fat. The temperature must be set to 150°C (300°F) until
the fat has melted completely. The required temperature can then be set.
STARTING TO FRY
1. Put the food which is to be fried into the basket, without ever overfilling it (max. 1.25 kg./2,5
lb of fresh potatoes).
If cooking food from frozen, make sure very little ice is included (see frying frozen food).
2. Put the basket into the fryer bowl in a raised position (fig. 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. Set thermostat knob “U” to the required temperature (fig.4). When the temperature set has
been reached, signal lamp “T” will switch off.
4. Never touch the viewing window when frying as it becomes very hot.
5. As soon as the signal lamp switches off, immerse the basket in the oil, lowering the handle
slowly after sliding the handle’s slider back (C).
• It is completely normal for a considerable amount of very hot steam to rise out of filter cover
“F” immediately after this.
• At the start of cooking, immediately after the food has been immersed in the oil, the internal
wall of viewing window “E” (where present) will steam up, before progressively clearing.
• It is normal for drops of condensation to form around the basket handle while the appliance
is working.
In the models fitted with the electronic minute timer
Set the cooking time by pressing key “O”; display “N” will show the minutes set.
The figures will begin flashing immediately afterwards, signifying that the cooking time has
