4. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
5. USING WITH SOLID FAT
For your own safety, never use water to put
out the fire.
•
Unplug the appliance while not in use or
before carrying out any maintenance or
cleaning operation.
•
To switch the appliance off, first turn the
switch to its ‘0’ position and then unplug the
cable from the mains.
•
Do not leave the appliance unattended while
in use. Switch the appliance off whenever
you leave the room, even if it is only for a
brief moment.
•
Let the oil cool before cleaning and storing
the appliance.
•
Do not use the appliance if the power
cable or plug are damaged, or in the event
of breakdown or improper functioning.
Regularly check the power cable for
damage.
•
The user should never try to replace the
appliance’s cable. If the cable were to
become damaged or need replacing, take
the appliance to a Technical Assistance
Service authorised by the manufacturer for
examination, repair or adjustment.
•
Do not let the cable hang over the edge of
the table or worktop, or come into contact
with hot surfaces.
•
Never pull on the cable to unplug the
appliance.
•
Do not leave the appliance on or near a gas
burner or electric hotplate, or inside or near
a hot oven or a microwave oven.
•
Never use the appliance outside or expose it
to the elements (rain, sun, frost, etc.).
•
When you decide to dispose of the
appliance definitively, unplug it and render
it unserviceable by cutting the power cable,
for example.
• This appliance should not be used
by physically, sensorially or mentally
handicapped people or people without
experience or knowledge of it (including
children), unless they are supervised or
instructed in the use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be watched to ensure they
do not play with the appliance.
• For greater protection, we recommend
installing a residual current device (RCD) with
an operational residual current not exceeding
30 mA. Ask your installer for advice.
•
We recommend that you use vegetable oil
suitable for frying at high temperatures.
You can also use liquid or solid fat. If
you use solid fat, take the necessary
precautions to prevent the element from
overheating (see ‘Using with solid fat’).
•
Do not use the fryer with too little oil/fat
or with no oil/fat. The oil/fat level should
be between the minimum and maximum
marks indicated on the pan
(8)
. Before
switching the fryer on, make sure the oil
level is correct.
Safety
•
This fryer is equipped with a thermal
safety device which switches it off in
the event of overheating. This generally
occurs when there is no (or too little) oil
or fat in the pan; the appliance may also
overheat while solid fat is melting.
If the thermal device cuts off the power
supply, proceed as follows:
•
Unplug the fryer and wait for the oil or
fat to cool.
•
Press the switch
(12)
located in the
cable housing at the back of the control
panel
(5)
. The fryer will now work once
again
(Fig. 7)
.
The appliance is also equipped with a
microswitch that prevents it from working if
the control panel is not correctly in position.
If you use solid fat for frying, make sure you
take the following precautions:
•
Melt the fat in a pan over a low heat.
•
Carefully pour the melted fat into the
fryer, taking care not to exceed the MAX
level mark.
•
See ‘Instructions for use’.
•
If you are going to use the solid fat left
over in the fryer from earlier cooking
operations, make several holes in it
using a fork. When doing this, take care
not to damage the element.
•
Next, set the thermostat
(10)
to 160º,
leave to heat for a minute and then
