THERMAL SAFETY DEVICE
The appliance is fitted with a thermal safety device that stops the appliance from heating in the event of incorrect use
or irregular operation. Once the appliance has cooled, using a toothpick or similar, delicately press the safety devi-
ce reset button (Z) marked RESET (see Fig. 1). If the appliance does not start operating again, contact a service cen-
tre authorised by the manufacturer.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before using the deep fryer for the first time, carefully clean, using warm water and dishwashing detergent, the
basket, the bowl and the cover. The control unit, power cable and heating element may be cleaned using a damp
cloth. Check that water does not enter into the control unit and that there is no residual water in the bottom of the
removable bowl. Carefully dry all the parts.
Check that the control unit is properly fastened to the deep fryer body. The safety micro-switch (D) will prevent the
appliance from operating unless the control unit (U) is correctly positioned (N).
FILLING WITH OIL OR FAT
• Turn the folding handle of the basket until it locks into place (pos. 2, Fig. 2). Remove the basket (S) by lifting it
upwards.
• If oil is used, pour it into the bowl (R) until reaching the maximum level indicated (see Fig. 4). Never exceed this
limit, as oil may overflow from the container. The level of oil must always be between the maximum and mini-
mum limits (F). For best results, use good quality peanut oil.
• If lumps of fat are used, cut the lumps into pieces and melt them in another container, then pour the liquefied fat
into the deep fryer bowl. Never melt the fat in the basket or on the deep fryer heating element (see Fig. 5).
PREHEATING
• Place the food to be fried in the basket (S), without exceeding the maximum level indicated on the basket (fig. 9).
Check that the handle of the basket is correctly positioned (pos. 2 in Fig. 2).
• Connect to the mains supply. Both lights (B) and (C) come on.
• Move the thermostat knob (A) (see fig. 6) to the required temperature (see cooking table), the oil temperature
light (green) (C) comes off.
• When the set temperature is reached, the green light (C) comes on.
FRYING
• As soon as light (C) comes on, lower the basket (S) into the oil very slowly to avoid the hot oil splashing or over-
flowing.
• A significant amount of steam will be released: this is completely normal.
• When the set cooking time has elapsed, lift the basket (S) and check that the food has been cooked to the requi-
red colour.
• If the food is completely cooked, turn the appliance off by moving the thermostat knob (A) to the “•” position.
• Unplug from the mains socket.
• Allow the excess oil to drain by hooking the basket “M” onto the support “E” on the bowl.
• N.B. To cook more than one batch of food, wait until the green light comes on, indicating that the oil is again
at the set temperature. Then slowly place the basket (S) in the oil a second time.
HOW LONG THE OIL OR FAT LASTS
The level of oil or fat must never fall below the minimum. Every now and then it must be completely changed. The
life of the oil or fat depends on what foods are being fried. Food coated in breadcrumbs, for example, dirties the oil
more than simple frying. As for any deep fryer, the oil deteriorates after being heated a number of times! Therefore,
even if used correctly, it should be completely changed on a regular basis.
