Frying
1. Unfold the handle on the basket until it locks into place (pos. 2
fig. 3). Pull the handle on the basket upwards until the handle
slide clicks into place (pos. 3 fig. 4).
2. Place the food to be fried into the basket, without overfilling
(max 0.7 Kg of fresh potato).When frying ensure the food is
evenly distributed in the basket.
If cooking from frozen remove as much ice as possible by shak-
ing the basket before placing in the oil. (See Frying frozen
foods).
3. Lower the basket slowly into the oil.The basket will sit on the
base of the bowl.
4. Close the lid by pressing it lightly downwards until it “clicks”
into place.
5. To lower the handle, move the slide backwards and turn it
downwards.
(It is normal for drops of condensate to form around the hand-
le of the basket when the appliance is operating).
•
It is completely normal for a significant quantity of hot steam to be
released from the filter cover immediately after this operation.
Note: when cooking in two phases (e.g.: potatoes), open the lid, lift
the basket and hook onto the rim of the bowl, wait for the indica-
tor light to switch off again, then lower the basket slowly back into
the oil (see the cooking tables).
After frying
When the set cooking time has elapsed, lift the basket and check
that the food has been cooked to the desired colour.
If the food is completely cooked, turn the appliance off by moving
the thermostat knob to “OFF”, (until the switch “clicks”).
Allow the excess oil to drain from the food by hooking the basket
onto the rim of the bowl.
