IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs.
3. To protect against electric shock do not immerse cord, plug and fryer in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off
parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has
been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other liquids.
12. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn the thermostat to the “OFF” position, then remove plug from wall outlet.
13. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
14. Be sure handle is properly assembled to basket and locked in placed. See detailed assembly instructions.
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 (remove the filter) thoroughly with hot soapy water, carefully dry the aluminum 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.
• During use and when the oil is hot, the pipe compartment inspection door must always be closed.
• It is totally normal that, on first use, the appliance emits a “new appliance” smell. If this happens, aerate the room.
• To avoid injury or burns, do not touch any metal parts on the deep fryer because they may be hot!
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from being entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord.

First fit the magnetic connector to the appliance, as
seen in Figure 12, making sure that the protruding
part of the connector (X) is correctly inserted in the
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 13. If the magnetic connector
does not remain in place, check that it has been
inserted correctly, see Figure 12. 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 LT-512
or TA-35PA cord set (see label attached on the back
of the product) supplied by De'Longhi authorized
service centers".

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FILLING THE BOWL
• Raise the basket into its upper position by lifting upwards on the handle (Fig. 1).
• Push on the lid opening button (I) (Fig. 1) to open the lid.
• Remove the basket by pulling it up (Fig. 2).
The cover must ALWAYS be closed whenever the basket is raised or lowered.
• Pour 2 liters of oil into the bowl (or approx. 67.5 oz. oil/3.6 lb fat).
The level of oil in the bowl must always be between the minimum and maximum marks.
The maximum level mark should never be exceeded.
For best results use a good canola oil. Olive oil is optimal due to its slower degradation, but prolonged use
accentuates its flavor. Above all, avoid mixing different oils. If using blocks of solid fat, cut into small pieces to
avoid fryer heating dry in the first few minutes. The temperature must be set to 150°C/300°F until the fat has
melted completely. The required temperature can then be set. Melt solid fat directly in pot. Only when completely melted, should the basket be lowered.
PRE-HEATING
1. Place the food to be fried in the basket. Do not overfill the basket (maximum 2 lb. of fresh potatoes).
2. Replace the basket in the bowl in the raised position and close lid by lightly pushing down until catch snaps
shut.
3. Set the sliding thermostat control (N) (fig. 3) to the desired temperature (see enclosed table). When the
selected temperature is reached, the signal light will switch off.
FRYING
As soon as the signal light switches off, move the handle slider (G) on the handle backwards, then move the
handle downwards to lower the basket into the oil.
• A considerable quantity of steam will escape from the filter cover, when the basket is lowered into the
oil. This is perfectly normal.
• It is also normal for drops of condensation to fall from the lid onto the plastic sides and around the
basket handle while in use.
• When basket is lowered into the oil, the inside of the viewing window will immediately steam up. This steam
will disappear gradually as the food is cooked.
Grease the glass window with a little oil before cooking to reduce the accumulation of condensation and
thereby improve visibility.
• Never move the appliance while the oil is still hot.
• To move the appliance, use the lifting handles (P). (Never lift by the basket handle).
END OF FRYING TIME
When the selected frying time is elapsed, raise the basket and check that food is golden brown as desired. This can be
done without opening the lid.
When the food is completely cooked, switch the appliance off by setting the thermostat control (N) to “Off”
until you hear the switch click off. Leave the contents to drip for a moment and then open the lid and remove
the basket without shaking it too vigorously.
For two-stage frying (e.g. potatoes), lift the basket at the end of the first stage, wait for the indicator light to go off
and then lower the basket into the oil a second time (see enclosed table).
FILTERING OF OIL OR FAT
It is advisable to filter the oil or fat after frying in order to remove any food particles, especially if the food is
coated in breadcrumbs or flour. Food particles remaining in the oil tend to burn, which causes the oil to deteriorate more quickly.
DRAINAGE TUBE
Proceed as follows:
1. Raise the lid of the fryer and remove the basket. Check that the oil is sufficiently cool (about 2 hours).
2. Open the door (L) and remove the drainage tube (M) as shown in (fig. 4).
3. Remove the cap. Take care to pinch the end of the tube with two fingers so that the oil does not drain until the
