INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Filling with oil or fat
• Raise the basket (F) to the highest position by pulling the
special “a” handle upwards (fig.1).
The lid should ALWAYS be closed when the basket is raised
and lowered.
• Open lid “C” by pressing button “O” (fig.2).
• Remove the basket by pulling it upwards (fig.3).
• Pour into the container 1.2 litres of oil (or 1 kg. 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 peanut 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 until the fat has melted completely. the required tempera-
ture 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 kg. of fresh potatoes).
in order to obtain a more even frying, we recommend con-
centrating the food especially around the perimeter of the
basket., leaving the central part more sparingly filled.
2. put the basket into the boiler pan 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. plug into the mains socket and set thermostat knob “N” to the
required temperature (fig.4). When the temperature set has
been reached, signal lamp “M” will go off.
4. as soon as the signal lamp goes off, immerse the basket in the
oil, lowering the handle slowly after sliding the handle’s “B”
slider back.
• It is completely normal for a considerable amount of very hot
steam to pour out of filter cover “e” immediately after this.
• At the start of cooking, immediately after the food has been
immersed in the oil, the internal wall of viewing window “d”
will steam up, before progressively clearing.
• It is normal for drops of condensation to form around the ba -
sket handle while the appliance is working.
MODELS WITH ELECTRONIC MINUTE TIMER
1 set the cooking time by pressing the “l” button. the display
“k” will show the minutes set.
2 the numbers will straight away begin to flash. this shows
that the cooking time has begun. the last minute is displayed
in seconds.
3 if an error is made, the new cooking time can be set by hol-
ding the button down for more than 2 seconds. the display
will reset and the process can then be repeated from point 1.
4 the minute timer will indicate the end of the cooking time
with two series of beeps about 20 seconds apart. to turn the
acoustic signal off, press the minute timer button “l”.
IMPORTANT: the minute timer does not turn the appliance off.
Replacing the minute timer battery (fig. 5)
• Remove the minute timer from its housing by prising it from
the lower side (see fig. 5a).
• Turn the battery cover on the back of the battery anticlockwi -
se (fig. 5B) until it comes free.
• Replace the battery with another of the same type (L1131).
When replacing or disposing of the appliance, the battery must
be removed and disposed of according to current legislation as it
represents a hazard to the environment.
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 complete, turn off the appliance by turning the ther-
mostat 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 li-
quid thus causing much quicker deterioration in the oil or fat.
check that the oil is cool enough (waiting about 2 hours).
1. remove the lid (fig. 6) and the removable pan “p”, holding it
by the handle “Q” (fig. 7). Empty the pan (fig. 8).
2. remove any residues from the pan using a sponge or ab-
sorbent paper. put the removable pan “p” back into the pan
