USING THE ELECTRIC FRYER
REMINDERS FOR USE
• The appliance is designed for frying food in oil or solid fat.
• Do not place large pieces of food or food that is dripping with
water in the well because this action may produce splashes
of boiling oil and cause the oil to over
fl ow.
• Top up the oil level whenever it falls below the minimum refer-
ence mark ( fi re hazard). Before pouring in oil make sure that
there is no water in the well.
• Pour oil into the well up to the level indicated by the reference
mark on the well rear/side wall.
• When using solid fat, melt the fat separately before pouring
it into the well. Do not leave the fat in the well when you have
fi nished cooking.
• Gradually immerse the basket containing the food to be fried
into the boiling oil and take care that the resulting foam does
not spill over the sides of the well. If this should occur, stop
immersing the basket and wait for a few seconds.
• Do not activate the heating system when there is no oil or fat
in the well.
• While the fryer is on, the oil level must be maintained in cor-
respondence with or above the minimum level mark indicated
on the rear wall of the well.
• The appliance is equipped with a manual reset safety ther-
mostat which interrupts heating when the operating tempera-
ture exceeds the maximum permitted value.
• You have to pay particular attention to the fact that the old
fat and oil and the dirt, have a reduced ignition temperature
and will increase its tendency to boil suddenly and the foam,
which results, may over
fl ow.
FILLING AND EMPTYING THE WELL

• Fill the well until the water is level with or above the minimum
level (bottom mark) indicated on the rear wall of the well.
