OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Before use, check that the mains power supply corresponds
to the power supply indicated on the appliance.
• Before use, wash the bowl, the basket and the lid (after
removing the filters) using hot water then dry carefully.
• NEVER switch on the fryer before adding oil or fat. If the
fryer is operated without oil or fat, a thermostatically oper-
ated safety device interrupts the operation of the appliance.
In this case, it is necessary to contact one of our authorized
service centres before re-using the appliance.
FILLING WITH OIL OR FAT
• Open the lid by pushing the button (fig. 1) then take the
accessories out.
• Pour approx. 2 litres of oil into bowl (or 1.8kg fat).
For best results,
use good-quality sunflower oil
.
Avoid mixing different types of oil.
If using blocks of solid fat, cut into small pieces to
avoid fryer
heating dry
in the first few minutes. The temperature must be set
to 150°C until the fat has melted completely. The required tem-
perature can then be set.
Melt solid fat directly in bowl.
PRE-HEATING
Plug the appliance in, set the sliding thermostat control (
G
) to the
desired temperature and wait until the control lamp switches off
(fig. 2).
Read this instruction booklet carefully before installing and using the machine. In this way, you will obtain
the best possible results and maximum operating safety.

CHANGING THE OIL OR FAT
When oil goes below minimum level mark,
add new oil. It is advisable to change the oil
from time to time to maintain the quality and
taste of your fried food.
The number of times the oil can be used depends
on the type of food you fry. For example, the oil
must be changed more often if food coated in
breadcrumbs is fried frequently.
We advise that the oil be completely changed
every 5/8 times or it should be completely
changed in the following circumstances:
• unpleasant odour
• smoke when frying
• oil becomes dark in colour.
FOR PERFECT FRYING
•
To ensure crisp results, the food to be
fried should not be lowered into the oil
until the temperature has been reached
(i.e. when the control lamp switches off).
• Do not overfill the basket. Too much food in
the basket lowers the temperature of the oil
suddenly, with the result that the food will
be greasy and unevenly-fried.
• When frying small quantities of food, the
temperature of the oil must be set lower
than the temperature indicated to avoid the
oil boiling too violently.
• Check that the food is sliced thinly and
evenly. Thick slices will not be fried
throughout, although they may look
