to avoid overcooking: do not eat burnt food.
• Clean your oil after every use to avoid burnt
crumbs and change it after every 8 to 10
uses. More frequently for sunflower oil.
• Eat a balanced and varied diet which
includes plenty of fruit and vegetables.
• Store your fresh potatoes in a cupboard
above 8°C.
• Do not store your fryer outside and store it in
a dry and well-ventilated area.
• For best results and faster cooking, we
recommend that you limit the quantity of
chips to 1/2 basket per frying.
• For larger quantities of food or potatoes, the
temperature drops very fast just after having
lowered the basket. This lowers the oil
temperature considerably and it is normal for
the temperature to take a long time to return
to 190°C.

or with a sponge and
warm water with washing-up liquid.
• Dry all parts thoroughly.

2. F
ILLING THE BOWL
If you use oil :
• Fill in the bowl with oil.
•
Never exceed the maximum level
indicated in the bowl -
Fig 4
.
• Use an oil recommended for deep frying. For
best results we recommend using a good
quality blended vegetable oil. If using
sunflower oil, ensure the oil is changed every
5 uses. Oils which should NOT be used under
any circumstances and may cause
overflowing/smoking/risk of fire are : ground
nut oil, soya oil, olive oil, lard or dripping.
If you use solid vegetable fat :
• Cut solid vegetable fat into pieces and
melt it in a separate pan, then pour it inside
the fryer (do not melt the blocks of fat in
the basket, nor in the bowl).
• Never exceed 150°C to melt
the solidified
fat
, then follow the manufacturer’s cooking
instructions.
• NEVER use lard or dripping as this may
cause overflowing, smoking or risk of fire.
• If you have allowed vegetable fat to go
solid in the Autofrito bowl (with basket in
the low position) then carefully follow the
instructions below for re-melting the fat.
Place the selector to the
MANUAL
position
if it was previously in the AUTO position.
Set the thermostat at 150°C, then plug-in
the appliance. If possible loosen the top of
the solid vegetable fat using a fork.
When the solid vegetable fat has entirely
melted, press on
button, the basket
rises automatically. Set the thermostat
depending on the food to cook and follow
the Instructions for use’s instructions
(paragraph ‘Using’).
CAUTION
Do not put the basket in the fryer while
filling the bowl with oil.
Do not mix different types of oil/fat as this
may cause the oil/fat to overflow.
The oil/fat level must always be between
the min. and max. markers, stamped inside
the bowl. Check this each time prior to
cooking and add some of the same type
of oil/fat if necessary.
