RECOMMENDATIONS
• Before using the appliance, check that the voltage of
the mains power supply corresponds to the value
indicated on the appliance rating plate.
• Connect the appliance to an efficiently earthed
socket with a minimum current rating of 10A only.
(If the plug fitted to the appliance does not match
the power socket, have the socket replaced with a
suitable type by a qualified professional).
• Never locate the appliance near sources of heat.
• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer or the manufacturer's customer
services in order to avoid all risk.
• While in operation, the appliance becomes hot.
DO NOT LEAVE WITHIN REACH OF CHILDREN.
• Do not move the deep fryer when the oil is hot as
this may cause serious burns.
• The deep fryer must be operated only after having
filled it with oil or fat. If heated when empty, a thermal cutout device trips and operation is interrupted.
If this occurs, contact an authorised customer services centre to restart the appliance.
• If oil leaks from the deep fryer, contact customer services or personnel authorised by the manufacturer.
• The basket fits automatically onto the central pin in
the bowl.
To avoid damage, never rotate it manually to find
the right position.
• Before using the deep fryer for the first time, wash
the bowl, basket and lid (remove filter) in hot water
and washing up liquid.
At the end of the operation, dry everything thoroughly and remove any water left in the bottom of the
bowl and inside the oil drain hose.
This prevents dangerous splashes of hot oil during
operation.
• The appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
Young children must be supervised to ensure they
do not play with the appliance.
• Move the appliance by the handgrips (I) provided.
(Never move the appliance using the basket handle). Make sure the oil is sufficiently cool, wait
about two hours.
• If your appliance has a drain hose, make sure it is
always closed and in its compartment while the
appliance is in use.
• It is normal for the appliance to give off a "new"
smell when used for the first time.
Ventilate the room.
• Never leave the power cable hanging from the
edge of the surface the deep fryer is resting on,
because it could be grasped by a child or get in the
way of the user.
• When opening the lid, take great care to avoid hot
steam and splashes of boiling oil.
• Never use homemade or very acid oils.
• The appliance must not be operated by a timer or a
separate remote control system.
• This appliance complies with EC directive
2004/108/EC on electromagnetic compatibility
and European regulation no. 1935/2004 of
27/10/2004 on food contact materials.
• This is a household appliance only.
It is not intended for use: in staff kitchen areas in
shops, offices and other working environments;
farm houses; by clients in hotels, motels and other
residential type environments; bed and breakfast
type environments.

INSTRUCTIONS
Filling with oil or fat
• Raise the basket (F) into the top position by pulling
the handle (A) upwards (fig. 1).
ALWAYS raise and lower the basket with the lid
closed.
• Open the lid (C) by pressing button (P) (fig. 2).
• Remove the basket by pulling upwards (fig. 3).
• Pour 1.2 l of oil (or 1 kg of fat) into the container.
WARNING: The level of oil should always be between
the maximum and minimum marks.
Never use the deep fryer with the oil below the "min"
level as this could cause the thermal cutout to trip. To
replace, contact an authorised service centre.
For best results, use good quality peanut oil.
Never mix different oils together.
If you are using solid fat, cut into small pieces to avoid
the deep fryer heating up without liquid for the first few
minutes.
The temperature must be set to 150°C until the fat has
melted completely. You can then set the required temperature.
• It is normally for drops of condensation to form near
the basket handle while the appliance is in operation.
END OF FRYING
When the set cooking time has elapsed, raise the basket
and check that the food is cooked to the required
colour.
You can do this through the viewing window without
opening the lid.
If you decide the food is sufficiently cooked, turn the
appliance off by rotating the thermostat dial to the “0”
position until you hear the internal switch click.
Drain excess oil by leaving the basket in the raised position inside the deep fryer.
FILTERING THE OIL OR FAT
You are recommended to do this after each frying session as, particularly if coated in breadcrumbs or flour,
the particles of food remaining in the liquid tend to
burn, causing the oil or fat to alter more rapidly.
Make sure the oil is sufficiently cool (wait about two
hours).
STARTING FRYING
1. Place the food to be fried in the basket. Never over
fill (1 kg max. of fresh potatoes).
To obtain more even frying you should concentrate
the food around the edge of the basket, with less
food at the centre.
2. Place the basket in the bowl in the raised position
(fig. 3) and close the lid, pressing lightly until it clips
into place. To avoid splashes of hot oil, always close
the lid before lowering the basket.
3. Plug the appliance into the mains socket and turn
the thermostat dial (N) to the required temperature
(fig. 4).
When the set temperature is reached, the indicator
light "M" goes out.
4. As soon as the light has gone out, immerse the
basket in the oil by pushing the slide (B) on the
basket handle backwards and slowly lowering the
basket itself.
• It is normal for a considerable quantity of very hot
steam to be given off from the filter cover (E) immediately after the basket has been lowered.
• When cooking begins, immediately after immersing
the food in the oil, the inside surface of the viewing
window (D) (if present) mists up then clears gradually.
Models without drain hose
1. Remove the lid as shown in fig. 13.
2. Empty the deep fryer by tilting it as shown in fig. 16
and collecting the contents in a container.
Models with drain hose
Move the front of the deep fryer to the edge of the surface on which it stands, making sure the feet (K)
remain resting on the surface (fig. 5).
1. Open the deep fryer lid and remove the basket (fig.
3).
2. Open the door (O) as shown in fig. 6.
3. Remove the drain hose (L).
4. Remove the cap (J) and at the same time squeeze
the hose with two fingers to avoid the oil or fat running out until the hose is placed over a container
(fig. 7).
5. Run off the oil or fat into a container (fig. 8).
6. Remove any deposits left in the bowl using a sponge or absorbent paper.
7. When you have finished, close the drain hose with
the cap and replace in its housing.
8. Put the basket back in the raised position and place
a filter in the bottom of the basket (fig. 9).
Filters are available from your local dealer or one
of our customer service centres.
