FILLING WITH OIL OR FAT
• Raise the basket (U) into the top position by pulling the han-
dle (S) upwards (fig. 1).
Please note:
ALWAYS raise and lower the basket with the
lid closed.
• Open the lid (Z) by pressing button (G) (fig. 2).
• Remove the basket by pulling upwards (fig. 3).
• Pour the oil into the bowl (D): 1.5 litres maximum capacity
(1.3 kg of fat) or 1.1 litres minimum capacity (1 kg of fat).
Important!
The level must always be between the maxi-
mum and minimum marks.
Important!
Never use the deep fryer with the oil below
the “min” level as this could cause the thermal cutout to trip. To
replace, contact the manufacturer’s customer services.
Please note:
For best results, use good quality peanut oil.
Never mix different oils together.
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 temperature must be set to 150°C until the fat has melted
completely. You can then set the required temperature.
STARTING FRYING
• Turn the appliance on by turning the thermostat dial (F) to
the required temperature (fig. 4).
• When the thermostat light (L) has gone out, place the basket
(U) (containing the food) in the bowl (D) in the raised position
(fig. 3) and close the lid (Z).
• Lower the basket slowly by moving the slide (T) in the direc-
tion of the arrow and at the same time lowering the handle
(S) (fig. 5).
Important!
Do not overfill (1.2 kg max. of fresh potatoes).
Please note:
Immediately after the basket has been lowe-
red, it is normal for a considerable quantity of very hot steam to
be given off from the filter cover (A) and drops of condensation to
form near the basket handgrip.
• At the end of the cooking time, raise the basket by pulling the
handle upwards and check the degree of cooking.
SETTING THE ELECTRONIC TIMER
• Set the cooking time by pressing the button (I). The minutes
set appear on the display (H).
• Immediately afterwards, the numbers begin to flash. This
means the cooking time has begun.
The last minute is displayed in seconds.
• If you make a mistake, you can set the new cooking time by
holding the button down for more than two seconds.
When the display has reset, repeat the operation.
• The timer indicates the end of cooking time with two series of
beeps separated by a 20 second gap.
To turn off the signal, just press the timer button.
Please note:
the timer does not turn the appliance off
Replacing the timer battery
• Extract the timer by levering on the bottom edge (fig. 6).
• Turn the battery cover on the back of the timer anticlockwise
(fig. 7) to release it.
• Replace the battery with another of the same kind (L1131).
Please note:
If the appliance is replaced or eliminated, the
battery must be removed and disposed of in conformity with cur-
rent legislation as it is harmful to the environment.
