Lowering the basket
• When the oil has reached the correct tempera-
ture, the temperature light (green) will go out.
• Press the handle unlocking button and fold the
handle very slowly into its housing to lower the
basket into the oil. Plunging the basket too rapidly
in the oil may cause it to overflow.
CAUTION:Always replace and close the lid before
immersing food in oil. Do not immerse or drain
food with lid removed or open.
Set the cooking time
• Set the timer to the desired time.
• The countdown starts.
• During cooking, it is normal for the temperature
light to cycle on and off.
•During cooking, you have the opportunity, with-
out opening the lid, to raise the basket resulting in
more even cooking.
At the end of cooking time
• The timer sounds indicating the selected cook-
ing time has elapsed.
• The timer signals the end of the cooking time
and stops the appliance at the same time.
• Lift the basket handle horizontally to raise the
basket until you hear a “click” as it locks.
• Turn the thermostat down to the lowest setting.
• Open the lid.
• Remove the basket, making sure that it comes
completely out of the oil container and the re-
movable control panel.
• Close the lid while not in use.
• To fry a second time, correct the oil level if nec-
essary, set the thermostat to the desired tempera-
ture then wait for the temperature indicator light
to turn on before lowering the food into the oil.
• For crispy fried food, open the lid as soon as
you have finished cooking to prevent steam from
softening the food.
