INSTALLATION
Preliminary operations Remove the appliance from the packaging, ensure that it is intact and, if in doubt, do not use it but
contact professionally qualified personnel. The packaging materials are compliant with environmental safety regulations. They can be stored without risk, or else should be disposed of in accordance with current national regulations, particularly those regarding the nylon bag and the polystyrene. After verifying that the appliance is in good conditions, the protective film may be removed. Clean the external parts of the appliance carefully with warm water and detergent, using a cloth to remove all remaining residues and then dry it with a soft cloth. If there are still traces of glue, these can be removed using a suitable solvent (e.g. acetone). Under no circumstances should abrasive substances be used. After the installation the appliance should be levelled by lowering or raising the adjustable legs.
Electric connection Before connecting the appliance, it is necessary to check that the voltage of the available power
supply corresponds to the voltage the appliance has been set for. If they do not correspond, it is necessary to modify the connection as shown in the electric diagram, if voltage change is provided for. The junction box is situated behind the control panel of the top and it is made accessible by unscrewing the screws that fix the panel, removing it and taking out the junction box. Furthermore, it is necessary to check that the earthing wire is efficient, that the earth conductor on the connecting side is longer than the other conductors, that the connecting cable has a wire bunch adequate for the power absorbed by the appliance, and that the connecting cable is at least type H07 RN-F. It is necessary to run the cable first through the cable gland. If the supply cord is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. As in international provisions, before setting up the appliance a unipolar
device has to be installed with a contact opening of at least 3 mm that must not interrupt the YELLOW-GREEN earthing wire. This device has to be installed near the appliance, has to be
approved, and has to have adequate capacity for the absorption of the appliance (see table TECHNICAL FEATURES). The appliance has to be connected to the EQUIPOTENTIAL system. The connector is situated near the end of the electric cable and it is identified by a label with the symbol shown. While using a safety thermostat for breakdown tensions, it is necessary to note what follows:
- According to the normative law in force, the leakage of electric power for this kind of
appliances can have a value of 1 mA without limitations for the maximum for each kW of installed power. Besides, it must be noted that all the switches for breakdown to be found on the market have a tolerance for the operating tension of less than the 50%; therefore, a suitable switch has to be chosen.
- Connect only a single appliance to each switch.
- In some cases, after long periods of inactivity or in case of a new installation, it is possible
that the appliance switches off during the setting-up. The main reason is usually the moist produced during the isolation. The problem can be easily solved through a short pre-heating bypassing the safety thermostat.
ATTENTION! All the parts protected and sealed by manufacturer can not be regulated by the installer if not specifically indicated.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
WARNINGS
The deep fat fryer is an equipment suitable to fry meat, fish, and vegetables in oil. ATTENTION: The cooking vat must not be cooled down hard (i.e. cooling it down by ice or cold
water); otherwise there is a danger of cracking the vat itself.
ATTENTION! The oil status and quality are to be checked carefully and regularly. The oil
should be filtered and changed regularly; otherwise it might be dangerous for human health.
ATTENTION! The oil type should be chosen carefully and it is advisable to use only oil types
characterized by high smoke point (preferably above 180°C).
ATTENTION: If in the process of cooking were used oils that are solid at temperature
environment, or animal or vegetal fats, it is recommended to effect always a slow preheating of the oil to preserve the deep fat fryer and the fat.
ATTENTION! Danger of fire if the oil level is below the minimum indicated level. ATTENTION! Danger of using old oil: this will have a reduced flash-point and be more prone to
surge boiling.
ATTENTION! Attention shall be drawn to the effect on surge boiling of over-wet food and too
large a charge.
ATTENTION: It is forbidden to empty the cooking tank while the appliance is still running or as
soon as it is turned off or if the frying oil is still at a temperature above 100 ° C. Should this fact be ascertained that the appliance’s warranty expires immediately.

Method of use The oil should be changed frequently to avoid dangerous situations do not use it when it has
become brown and viscose. Never fill the basket more than 50% full, in order to achieve rapid cooking and low oil absorption. If a basket is put into the vat with only partly drained food, it can cause a sudden boiling of the oil and the subsequent formation of foam due to oil emulsion with the water content of the food. Lift out the basket and then put it back so that the foam will condense.
Periodic oil filtration
During cooking different sized particles come off the food and the largest end up on the bottom grid (3), while others are deposited in the cold area at the bottom of the vat. To prevent these residues from ruining the oil and consequently the food, they must be eliminated periodically. After leaving the oil to cool the bottom grid should be removed by lifting it out slowly so that no large residues will be dispersed in the oil. Then install the drainage sleeve (1) in the housing (2) on the drainage tap (3). During this operation always make sure that the tap is in the closed position (OFF). Place a metal tank (4) suitable for contact with high-temperature oil and with sufficient capacity next to the drainage sleeve, open the drainage tap (ON), making sure to place a filter under the drainage pipe, and allow all the oil to drain into it. Attention should be paid to the possibility that the drain hose may be at a high temperature and that the container (4) may also be at a dangerous temperature for the operator if the safety instructions are not followed.
If the oil is not sufficiently cleaned at the end of the operation, it must be filtered again. Then the vat must be cleaned, the drain tap closed and it can be filled with oil.
ATTENTION! Never leave the appliance unattended while in use. Never leave the fryer switched on without any oil in the cooking vat. If fats or oils are used for frying, pay attention to their overheating; therefore, this operation must always be carried out under surveillance. If the lid is used during cooking, be careful when you lift it:
there is a risk to get burnt due to the steam produced inside the cooking vat.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE APPLIANCE
Cleaning ATTENTION! Before doing any cleaning, make sure that the appliance is disconnected from
the electric mains. During cleaning operations, avoid using direct or high pressure sprays of water on the appliance. Cleaning must be done when the appliance is cold.
Steel parts can be cleaned with warm water and neutral detergent, using a cloth. The detergent should be suitable for cleaning stainless steel and should not contain abrasive or corrosive substances. Do not use ordinary steel wool or anything similar, as this can deposit rust-forming iron particles, and avoid contact of iron objects with the stainless steel. It is also unadvisable to use sandpaper or emery paper. Pumice powder should only be used for heavily encrusted dirt; however, a synthetic abrasive sponge or stainless steel wool used in the direction of the glazed finish would be preferable. After washing, dry the appliance with a soft cloth. When cleaning, abrasive powders of any type, chlorine-based detergents and bleach should all be avoided. Also avoid pouring cold liquids on appliances while they are hot, or cracks could form which could cause the appliance to become deformed or broken. The stainless steel should not be exposed to prolonged contact with concentrated acidic substances (vinegar, condiments, spice mixtures, concentrated kitchen salt…) as these can create chemical and physical conditions that damage the passivation of the steel; it is therefore advisable to remove these substances using clean water.
It is advisable to frequently clean the appliance; make sure to remove completely food particles, especially those of food in batter and/or covered with breadcrumbs. If after cleaning with mechanical devices such as a cotton cloth or a cleaning brush food particles are still to be found, use degreasing products suitable for cleaning stainless steel parts. Then rinse the cooking vat by using running water. If the appliance is out of use for a long time, it is advisable to disconnect the main electricity supply
and wipe all stainless steel surfaces with a cloth soaked in vaseline oil in order to give it a protective film and air the rooms now and again.
ATTENTION: Never use substances, detergents and other solutions containing chlorine or its by­products. In order to remove any possible scale-marks, do not use products containing salt or sulphuric acid; suitable products are to be found in the market or, alternatively, a solution diluted in acetic acid can be used. While cleaning the appliance, do not use inflammable liquids.
Abnormal functioning If for any reason, the appliance does not start up or stops working during use, check that the energy
supply and the control knobs are set correctly; if all is regular, call customer service.
