Assembling the basket:
- Remove the basket and attach the handle
by pivoting until the rods engage in the
housing (Fig.2).
Instructions for use
Before use:
- Make sure that all the product’s packaging
has been removed.
- Before using the product for the first time,
clean the parts that will come into contact
with food in the manner described in the
cleaning section.
Oil filling:
- Open the cover
- Ensure that the electrical equipment is
appropriately positioned.
- Pour oil up to the mark indicating the
MAXIMUM level on the bowl (Fig.1).
- The appliance must not be used with less
oil than that indicated by the MINIMAL mark.
Use:
- Unroll the cable completely before plugging
it in.
- Connect the appliance to the mains.
- Turn the appliance on using thermostat
adjustment control
-The power on indicator light comes on.
- Select the desired frying temperature using
the thermostat control. The heating indicator
light will turn red, indicating that the oil is
being heated (close the lid to save energy).
- Prepare the food to be fried and place it in
the basket, making sure that it does not rise
above ¾ of its capacity. Allow the food to
drain before placing it in the basket.
- Frozen food must be allowed for thaw
beforehand. The placing of frozen food or
food with high water content in the basket
may cause the oil to suddenly spit after a
few seconds.
- Wait until the heating indicator light
has gone out which will indicate that
the appliance has reached an adequate
temperature.
- During the appliance’s use the heating
indicator light will come on and off
automatically, indicating the heating
elements are working, and therefore
maintaining the desired temperature.
- Slowly place the basket in the bowl to
avoid overflowing and splashing. Fry with
the lid open or closed, as required.
- When the food has been fried sufficiently,
lift the basket and position it in the support
in order to allow the excess oil to drain from
the food (Fig. 3)
- Empty the basket.
- Change the oil approximately every 15 or
20 frying operations, or every 5 – 6 months
if not used frequently.
Once you have finished using the
appliance:
- Select the minimum position (MIN) using
the thermostat control.
- Unplug the appliance from the mains.
- Close the lid.
- Clean the appliance.
Practical recommendations:
- Fry a few pieces of bread to remove the
smell of used oil.
- For food with a high water content, it is
better and quicker to fry in two lots with less
food than in just one. This will reduce the
risk of splashes and spillage.
- The “two-stage frying method” can be used
for an even and crispy coating. This system
consists of first frying the food until it is
