using the thermostat control.
-Unplug the appliance from the mains.
-Put the cable back in the cable
housing.
-The cable housing means you can

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 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

press the rearming button, situated at
the back of the electrical circuit, with
the tip of a pen or similar in order to
reactivate the appliance (Fig. 2).
