and may cause serious burns.
- If fat is used instead of oil, melt first in a separate recipient.
- If fat has hardened in the tank, make a few holes in the solid fat in order to
allow the water, which has been retained in the fat to be released as steam
when heated at the minimum thermostat temperature.
- If, for some reason, the oil were to catch fire, disconnect the appliance from
the mains and smother the fire using the lid, a cover or a large kitchen cloth..
NEVER WITH WATER.
- Turn the thermostat control to the minimum (MIN) setting. This does not mean

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 into the tank up to the mark indicating the MAXIMUM level.
- 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.
- Open the lid
- Start the appliance by turning on the speed regulator.
- The pilot light (E) comes on.
- Select the desired frying temperature using the thermostat control. The indica-
tor light will turn red, indicating that the oil is being heated.
- 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 pilot light (10) has gone out which will indicate that the appliance
has reached an adequate temperature.
- During use the pilot blue light will automatically flash on and off, thus indicating
that the heating elements are operating in order to maintain the desired
temperature.
- Slowly place the basket in the bowl to avoid overflowing and splashing.
Depending on the criterion, fry with the lid open or closed.
- 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.
- Empty the basket.
- Change the oil approximately every 15 or 20 frying operations, or every 5 – 6
months if not used frequently.
- In order to minimize the generation of acrylamide during the frying process,
avoid reaching dark brown colours on the fried food, remove any burnt leftovers
from the oil container, food rich in scratch (such as potatoes or corns) should
not be fried at temperatures lower than 170ºC.
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
Carry handle/s:
- The device has a handle on the upper part so it can be transported easily and
comfortably.
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.
- This will reduce the risk of splashes and spillage. This system consists of first
frying the food until it is reasonably well done and then frying again using very
hot oil to brown the food.
- Olive oil with a minimum acidity level is recommendable for frying.
- Do not mix different oils.
- Wash potatoes before frying to stop them from sticking.
