CH311F DEEP FRYER - INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Fig 1
Fig 2
The apparatus is switched on by turning the control knob (Fig 1) on the front that allows a temperature
to be set from 40 to 200 °C.
A signal light (Fig 2) comes on to show that the resistance is operating, and when it goes off it shows
that it has reached the required temperature. A second general light (Fig 2) always stays on when the
apparatus is operating. The fryer is equipped with a thermostat that constantly maintains the
temperature of the oil bath. Furthermore, a safety thermostat automatically goes into operation in case
of faulty working of the main thermostat, preventing the oil from reaching too high a temperature, about
220 °C. The use of this equipment is very simple, however, to obtain the best results, it is advisable to
follow these instructions:
WARNING!
§
Before putting oil in for the first time, carefully clean the steel parts and the resistance, so as to
remove any residue left from manufacture.
§
Never turn on the apparatus with the resistance turned out of the bowl.
§
Never turn on the apparatus unless there is oil in the bowl.
§
Always use vegetable oil suitable for frying: we do not recommend oil from assorted seeds or
sunflower.
§
The quantity of oil contained in the bowl varies from a minimum of 2 litres to a maximum of 2,7
litres. If, during use, the oil level should drop below the minimum, fresh oil must be added. It is
advisable to add oil of the same type. The minimum and maximum levels are shown by two marks
cut into the vertical side of the bowl.
§
The oil can be used several times, but we recommend it is filtered between one cooking and the
next, so as to eliminate deposits which can occur.
§
It is best to change the oil very often, however, because, even if it is well filtered, small residual
particles can catch fire during cooking.
§
Before putting the food into the fryer, check that is perfectly dry. Wait until the oil has reached the
required temperature.
§
For frozen food, it is advisable to defrost it at a low temperature and then fry it at high temperature.
§
In preparing certain dishes (fried potatoes) you will get the best results by precooking at a
temperature of 160 °C, and then subsequently cooking at 180 °C.
§
During cooking, it is often necessary to add salt or flavourings. Avoid, if at all possible, doing this
directly into the fryer, because salt, by falling into the oil, has its quality reduced.
§
In the case of a breakdown, before calling a technician, try resetting the safety thermostat, by
pressing the button visible, after having removed the oil bowl and unscrewed the safety plug on the
front, interior side.
