STARTING TO FRY
1. Put the food which is to be fried into the basket, without ever overfilling it (max. 1.25 kg. 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
started. The last minute will be visualised in seconds.
In the event of error, the new cooking time can be set by keeping the key pressed down for more
than 2 seconds. The display will reset itself, then repeat the process again.
The minute timer will show the end of the cooking time with two series of beeps at an interval of
about 20 seconds. In order to switch off the audible alarm you only need press minute timer
button “O”. The minute timer can be attached to clothing by the clip.
WARNING: the minute timer does not switch the appliance off.
Replacing the minute timer battery
• Remove the minute timer from its compartment (fig. 5).
• Remove the back cover by screw driver (fig. 6).
• Turn the battery cover (fig. 7) placed on the back in an anticlockwise direction until it is
released.
• Replace the battery with another of the same type.
• Reassemble the minute timer.
If the appliance is to be replaced or thrown away, the battery must be removed and disposed
of in accordance with the current laws as it represents an environmental hazard.
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 you consider the cooking to be finished, switch off the appliance by turning the thermostat
