• Place the frying basket on the edge of the bowl and leave the handle in the
horizontal position.
• Put the lid back on the fryer.
Cooking
Lowering the basket
• When the oil has reached the correct temperature, the ready light (green)
comes on and the control unit beeps.
• Press the handle unlocking button and fold the handle very slowly into its
housing to lower the basket into the oil -
fig.10
. Plunging the basket too rapidly
in the oil may cause it to overflow.
• Press the CONFIRM button. The timer will start to count down.
• You can modify the cooking time during the cooking by pressing the + or –
buttons.
• During cooking, it is normal for the temperature light to go on and off.
At the end of cooking time
Frying is complete when:
•
The timer sounds, indicating the cooking time has elapsed and the food is the
desired colour and texture.
• If you wish to continue cooking after the time has elapsed, add some cooking
time by pressing the + button. The timer starts to count down.
• At the end of cooking time, switch off the fryer by pressing the CANCEL button.
• Lift the handle horizontally to raise the basket until you hear a "click" as it locks.
Allow excess oil to drain by letting the basket remain on the hook for a moment.
• Remove the lid.
• Remove the basket.
• Serve the food.
• Put the lid on the fryer when it is not in use.
• To use a second time, correct the oil level if necessary, then follow the instructions
from the beginning.
Switching off the deep fryer
• When you have finished frying, unplug the fryer.
• Allow the oil to cool completely in the fryer (approx. 3 hours).
• Move the fryer using the carrying handles.
Shake frozen food to
remove excess pieces of ice
away from the deep fryer.
For crispier frozen chips,
wash them in cold water
and dry them carefully.
When the fryer is in use,
some parts will be
extremely hot and can
cause severe burns. Steam
coming from the filter is
also extremely hot - fig.11.
Only touch the knobs and
handles of the fryer for your
safety.
For crispy fried food, remove
the lid as soon as you have
finished cooking to prevent
steam.
For your security, if no food
is put into the oil after the
ready light has come on,
the control unit will turn
off the appliance after 30
minutes. Regardless of the
recipe, food must be dried
thoroughly before frying.
This will prevent the oil
from splattering and/or
overflowing and will
extend the life of the oil.
Never move the fryer while
the oil or fat is still hot.
