IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
WARNING
• Do not use the fryer without oil. The
fryer will be severly damaged if heated
dry.
• This fryer has a thermal cut-out, thus preventing overheating.
• Plug cord into a 120 volt AC outlet.
• If your product is provided with a polarized alternating current plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), this
plug will fit into the power outlet only one
way. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
• Before using the fryer for the first time,
wash the aluminum pot, basket and lid
thoroughly with hot soapy water, carefully
dry the pot to maintain its attractive finish.
• Should the fryer leak, contact your nearest
Service Center or authorized Dealer for
qualified assistance.
• To assure safe operation, oversized foods
or utensils must not be inserted into the
fryer.
• Children or infirm persons should not be
allowed to use this product unsupervised.
• Children should not be allowed to play
with this appliance.
• In order to avoid possible injuries or
burns, do not touch any metal parts on the
deep fryer because they may be very hot,
use always appropriate gloves.
• It is totally normal that, on first use, the
appliance emits a “new appliance” smell.
If this happens, aerate the room.
• Before cleaning and when not in use, make
sure that the power plug is disconnected.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
A short power supply cord is provided to

corresponding slot on the appliance, and then plug
the cable into the power outlet.
Warning
Never leave the appliance plugged into the power
outlet if the magnetic connector is not fitted to the
deep fryer, Figure 3. If the magnetic connector does
not remain in place, check that it has been inserted
correctly, see Figure 3B. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service center. When the appliance is powered, always leave some free space around
the magnetic connector, so as to prevent it from
becoming detached. Only use a type MC-316 cord
set supplied by De’longhi authorized service centers.

THERMAL SAFETY DEVICE
The appliance is fitted with a thermal safety device
that stops the appliance from heating in the event of
incorrect use or irregular operation. Once the
appliance has cooled, using a toothpick or similar,
delicately press the safety device reset button “Q”
(see Fig. 1). If the appliance does not start operating
again, contact a service center authorized by the
manufacturer.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before using the deep fryer for the first time, carefully clean, using warm water and dishwashing detergent, the basket, the bowl and the cover. The control
unit, power cable and heating element may be cleaned using a damp cloth. Check that water does not
enter into the control unit and that there is no residual water in the bottom of the removable bowl.
Carefully dry all the parts. Check that the control unit
is properly fastened to the deep fryer body. The
safety micro-switch “C” will not allow the appliance
to be operated if the control unit “R” is not correctly
positioned in the housing “H”. The deep fryer is now
ready for use.
FILLING WITH OIL OR FAT
• Remove the cover “K”, lifting it by the handle. Turn
the folding handle of the basket until it locks into
place (pos. 2, Fig. 2). Remove the basket “M” by
lifting it upwards.
• Remove the length of cable required to connect the
appliance to the mains, from the cable compartment “O” (see Fig. 3A). The oil temperature light
“B” becomes green.
If your fryer is supplied with magnetic connector:
6
First connect the magnetic connector (see fig. 3B)
keeping attention to place the connector with the
jut (X) on the bottom side, then connect the plug.
• If oil is used, pour it into the bowl “L” until reaching the maximum level indicated (see Fig. 4).
Never exceed this limit, as oil may overflow from
the container. The level of oil must always be
between the maximum and minimum limits, “D”.
For best results, use good quality peanut, canola
or vegetable oil.
• If lumps of fat are used, cut the lumps into pieces
and melt them in another container, then pour the
liquefied fat into the deep fryer bowl. Never melt
the fat in the basket or on the deep fryer heating
element (see Fig. 5).
• If the oil contains food residues on the bottom,
these should be removed before heating the oil, to
ensure that the oil lasts longer.
• Close the cover “K”.
PREHEATING
• Place the food to be fried in the basket “M”,
without overfilling; max 3 lb of fresh potatoes.
Check that the handle of the basket is correctly
positioned (pos. 2 in Fig. 2).
• Move the thermostat knob “A” (see Fig. 6) to the
required temperature (see cooking table). The oil
temperature light “B” becomes red.
• When the set temperature is reached, the oil temperature light “B” will become green.
STARTING FRYING
• As soon as the light becomes green, place the
basket “M” into the oil, lowering it very slowly to
prevent the hot oil from spraying or overflowing.
• A significant amount of steam will be released:
this is completely normal.
• It is normal during frying for steam to be released
from the cover and condensate to drip from the
edge of the cover.
• To avoid the risk of burns, never place your hands
above the filter on the cover or above the deep
fryer when frying. Before opening the cover completely, open it slowly to release the steam from the
side.
END OF FRYING TIME
• When the set cooking time has elapsed, lift the
basket “M” and check that the food has been
cooked to the required color.
• If the food is completely cooked, turn the appliance off by moving the thermostat knob “A” to the
“•” position, until it clicks. The oil temperature
light “B” will become green.
• Unplug the appliance.
• Allow the excess oil to drain by hooking the basket
“M” onto the support “E” on the bowl; never leave
the basket too long in this position, as the steam
may make the fried food less crispy.
• Note: When cooking in two phases or if more
food needs to be cooked, at the end of the first
phase hook the basket ”M” onto the basket support “E” and wait for the light to go off again.
Then slowly lower the basket “M” in the oil a
second time.
COOKING HINTS
HOW LONG THE OIL OR FAT LASTS
The level of oil or fat must never fall below the minimum. Every now and then it must be completely
changed. The life of the oil or fat depends on what
foods are being fried. Food coated in breadcrumbs,
for example, dirties the oil more than simple frying.
As for any deep fryer, the oil deteriorates after being
heated a number of times! Therefore, even if used
correctly, it should be completely changed after 8-10
uses.
CORRECT FRYING
Fresh potatoes must be washed in cold water and
thoroughly dried, to prevent them from sticking
together and ensure they are crisp after frying. The
recommended temperature should be followed for
all recipes. If the temperature is too low, the oil will
be absorbed. If the temperature is too high, a crust
will form immediately and the inside of the food will
not be cooked. The food being fried must only be
immersed in the oil when the oil has reached the correct temperature, that is when the light “B” becomes
green. Never overfill the basket, as this may cause a
sudden drop in the temperature of the oil and thus
greasier and less uniform frying. Check that the
food is sliced into thin, even pieces. If the slices are
too thick, the food will not be well cooked inside,
despite its appearance, while even slices will be perfectly cooked at the same time. Carefully dry the
food before immersing it in the oil or fat, to avoid oil
being sprayed; furthermore, wet food will be less
7
crisp after cooking (especially potatoes). Foods with
a high water content (fish, meat, vegetables) should
be coated with flour or breadcrumbs before frying,
making sure the excess flour or breadcrumbs are
removed before immersing the food in the oil. Do
not fry potatoes more than 3 times consecutively.
When cooking food in batter, you should first immerse the basket empty. Then, when the set temperature
has been reached, immerse the food directly in the
hot oil to avoid the batter sticking to the basket.

FRYING FROZEN FOODS
Frozen foods are stored at very low temperatures.
Consequently, they significantly lower the temperature of the liquid used for cooking.
For best results, never exceed the maximum recommended quantity of food when frying.
Frozen foods are often covered with a layer of ice;
this ice should be removed before cooking. Immerse
the basket in the oil very slowly to prevent the oil
from boiling over.
The cooking times are approximate and must be
adjusted according to the initial temperature of the
food being fried and the temperatures indicated on
the packaging of the food.
