OPERaTINg INSTRUCTIONS
Before plugging into the mains, always make sure there is oil in
the bowl. Pour the oil into the bowl: 1.3 litres maximum capacity
(1.2 kg of fat).
WARNING: The level of oil should always be between the maximum
and minimum marks indicated inside the bowl.
Never use the deep fryer with the oil below the “min” level as this
could cause the thermal cutout to trip. To replace it, contact an
authorised service centre. Best results are obtained using a good
quality oil suitable for deep frying such as corn oil or groundnut oil.
Never use butter or margarine as it will smoke or bubble over.
If you are using solid fat, cut into small pieces to avoid the deep
fryer heating up without liquid for the first few minutes. The tem
-
perature must be set to 150°C until the fat has melted completely.
You can then set the required temperature.
fRyINg
Plug into the mains socket and slide the temperature control to the
required temperature. When the indicator light goes out, lower the
basket (containing the food, max 0.7 kg) slowly and carefully into
the oil. Do not overfill. Immediately after the basket has been lo
-
wered, it is normal for a considerable quantity of very hot steam to
be given off from the filter and drops of condensation to form near
the basket handgrip. At the end of cooking, remove the basket and
unplug the appliance from the mains socket.
hOw lONg ThE OIl OR faT laSTS
Every now and then it must be completely changed. As with any
deep fryer, the oil deteriorates after being heated a number of
times. Even if used and filtered correctly, it should therefore be
changed completely on a regular basis. You should ideally change
the oil completely after frying 5/8 times and always in the event
of: Unpleasant smell; smoke during frying; the oil becomes dark.
Before cleaning or maintenance, turn the appliance off, unplug
and allow to cool down. You should filter the oil or fat each time
you fry, especially if you cook food in breadcrumbs or flour.
Food particles left in the liquid tend to burn and may cause the oil
or fat to deteriorate more rapidly. Make sure the oil is sufficiently
cold (wait about two hours) before filtering. To filter the oil or fat,
simply pour through fine muslin or absorbent paper.
fRyINg NON-fROzEN fOOD
• The food being fried must not be immersed in the oil until
the oil has reached the correct temperature and the light has
gone off.
• Never over fill the basket This could cause a sudden drop in
the temperature of the oil and therefore greasier and less
uniform frying.
• Check that the food is cut into thin, even pieces. If the food is
too thick, it will not be well cooked inside.
• When cooking food in batter, you should first immerse the
empty basket. Then, when the set temperature has been rea
-
ched (the indicator light goes out), immerse the food directly
in the hot oil to avoid the batter sticking to the basket.
• Dry the food thoroughly before immersing it in the oil or fat
as moist foods will be less crispy after cooking (especially
potatoes). Foods with a high water content (fish, meat, vege
-
tables) should ideally be coated in breadcrumbs or flour be
-
fore frying. Make sure to remove excess flour or breadcrumbs
before immersing the food in the oil.
