INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
4
• If you make a mistake or you want to cancel the selected cooking time, hold the but-
ton pressed down for 2 seconds: the timer is automatically reset to zero. Repeat the pro-
gramming sequence as described above.
Stopping the alarm
• When cooking time has finished the alarm emits 3 beeps ten times in two sequences
and once again 20 seconds later.
• Simply press the button to stop the alarm.
IMPORTANT : The timer does not automatically switch the appliance off, and only indi-
cates the time set has elapsed.
• To change the battery: The lifetime of the battery is approximately 5 years. It needs to
be changed when there is a partial or total loss of the display. To change the battery,
contact T-FAL at 1-800-395-8325 (U.S.A. only) or your local After Sales Service Center.
FRYING FOODS:
WARNING: Do not touch any metal parts of the fryer as they may be hot.
• Always use the frying basket to fry foods. Always close the lid during frying (on concer-
ned models).
• When frying, the viewing window enables cooking to be controlled without opening
the lid - FIG. 10.
• It is usual for steam to appear on the window during the first few minutes of use and
this will gradually disappear during cooking, providing the viewing window is kept
clean (see "Cleaning the viewing window").
NOTE:
• During frying, you may hear slight clicking noises and you may see the temperature light
going on and off several times. This is normal and indicates the temperature is being
thermostatically maintained.
• During frying hot steam will escape through the filter in the lid. This is normal. Avoid
this area while frying.
AT THE END OF THE COOKING TIME:
When the cooking time has elapsed :
• Lift the lid (according to models) using the pull-out handle.
• Raise the basket and hook it on to the edge of the pot
• Allow to drain for a few moments.
• Take the basket out of the fryer.
• Put the fried food on a plate with paper towel at the bottom to finish soaking off excess
oil.
• When frying is finished put the switch (according to model) on the position “O“ (OFF).
Unplug the fryer.
• After removing the basket, skim the oil to remove any impurities and small pieces of food.
• Your fryer has been designed so as to keep the cooking oil or fat in the best possible condi-
tion. This is due to the cool section located below the heating element as any unskimmed
impurities will fall into this section thus preserving the cooking oil or fat. The temperature
of the cooking oil or fat in this area is between 70°C/158°F and 90°C/194°F which prevents
any impurities from reducing the quality of the oil or fat in the cooking section.
