3.
Plug into the mains socket,
set temperature control knob to the
required temperature (fig.4). When the temperature set has
been reached, the indicator light will go off.
4. As soon as the indicator light goes off, immerse the basket in the
oil, lowering the handle slowly after sliding the handle’s slider
back.
•
It is completely normal for a considerable amount of very hot
steam to pour out of the filter cover immediately after this.
•
At the start of cooking, immediately after the food has been
immersed in the oil, the internal wall of the viewing window
(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.
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 cooking is com-
plete, turn off the appliance by turning the thermostat knob to the
"O" position until the internal switch clicks. Drain excess oil by
leaving the basket inside the deep fryer for a while in the high
position.
FILTERING THE OIL OR FAT
We recommend that you carry out this procedure each time you
have finished frying as, especially when the food has been breaded or
floured, the food particles tend to burn if they remain in the liquid
thus causing much quicker deterioration in the oil or fat.
Check that the oil is cool enough (waiting about 2
hours).
To filter the oli proceed as follows:
1. Remove the lid (fig. 5) and empty the tank from the side shown
by the arrow (fig. 6) on the right front edge of the tank.
2. Remove any deposits from the tank using a sponge or absorbent
paper.
3. Put the basket back in the high position and place one of the
optional filters at the bottom of the basket (fig. 7). You can obtain
the filters from your retailer or one of our se rvice centres.
4. Next pour the oil or fat very slowly into the deep fryer so that
it does not spill out of the filter (fig. 8).
5. The oil which has been filtered in this way can be preserved
inside the deep fryer. However, if a long time elapses before it is
