DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE

•

This appliance has been designed to fry foods and is
exclusively for domestic use. It must not be used for
other purposes and must not be modified in any way.

• Do not use the appliance if it is damaged (i.e. from
a fall)

•

Before using the deep fryer for the first time, wash the
bowl, basket and cover thoroughly with hot water
and washing up liquid. You should also run hot water
and washing up liquid through the oil drainage tube
(if provided). Dry thoroughly.

• The fryer must only be used (inserting the plug into

the mains socket) after having been filled with oil or
fat. If it is turned on while empty, a safety mecha­nism will cause it to cut out.

Should this occur, it is
necessary to contact an authorised Dealer for quali­fied assistance.

• Before use, check that power supply corresponds
to power requirements of appliance (see specifi­cation written on rating label).

• Connect appliance only to earthed power outlets
with minimum of 10A current carrying capacity. (If
the socket and the plug on the appliance should
prove incompatible, get a professionally qualified
technician to replace the socket with a more suita­ble one).

• Should it be necessary to replace the feeder cable,
make sure that it is of the H05VVF 3x1 2mm type.
The replacement cable must conform to the current
norms and be of the same diameter as the origi­nal cable.

•When in use, the appliance becomes very hot.
THE APPLIANCE MUST BE INSTALLED OUT OF
THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

• When the appliance is in operation, the drainage
tube (if fitted) must always be closed and positio­ned in its compartment.

•Always allow the oil to cool before moving the

fryer, as hot oil can cause severe burns.

• Should fryer leak, contact nearest Service Centre or
authorized Dealer for qualified assistance.

• Do not unplug the appliance by pulling on the
electric cable - always use the plug itself.

•

Serious hot-oil burns may result from a deep fat
fryer being pulled off of a countertop. Do not allow
the cord to hang over the edge of the counter where
it may be grabbed by children or become entagled
with the user. Do not use with an extension cord.

• The appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons without supervision.

•Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.

•To move the appliance, use the special lifting
handles “

G”. (Never lift by the basket handle).

• It is totally normal that, on first use, the refrigera­tor emits a “new appliance” smell. If this happens,
aerate the room.

• This appliance conforms to EC directives 89/336
and 92/31 on Electromagnetic Compatibility and
EC directive no. 1935/2004 of 27/10/2004 on
materials intended for contact with food.

IMPORTANT

Read this instruction booklet carefully before installing and using the machine.

In this way, you will obtain the best possible results and maximum operating safety.

USING THE FRYER

• Open lid by pressing button “F” (fig.1).

•Use the slide “

D” to lift/lower the deep fryer bas­ket.
The basket has two different positions:
the lower position to fry the food and the raised
position to drain the food at the end of the cooking
time (fig.2).

FILLING WITH OIL OR FAT

• Remove the basket by pulling it upwards.

• Pour into the container 2 litres of oil (or 1,8 kg. of
fat).

For best results use a good quality oil. Avoid mixing
different types of oil. If you use lumps of solid fat, cut
them into small pieces so that the deep fryer does not
heat up in the first few minutes without an even cover­ing of fat. The temperature must be set to 150°C until
the fat has melted completely. The required tempera­ture can then be set.

Warning
The level of oil must always be between the maximum
and minimum levels indicated inside the bowl.
Never use the deep fryer when the oil is below the
“min” level (1.8 lt.) as it could cause the thermal safety
device to be activated; to replace it you will need to
contact one of our service centres.

FRYING

1. Put the food to be fried into the basket, without
overfilling (max. 1 kg. of fresh potatoes). Ensure
the food is evenly distributed in the basket.
If cooking food from frozen, make sure very little
ice crystals are included (see frying frozen food,
page 10).

2. Put the basket into the fryer bowl in a raised posi­tion and close the lid by pressing lightly down upon
it until the hooks click. Always close the lid before
lowering the basket to avoid hot oil from splashing
out.

3. Set thermostat knob to the required temperature
(fig. 3). When the temperature set has been
reached, the indicator light will switch off.

4. When the light goes out, pull the button on the top
of the basket handle outwards then immerse in the
oil by lowering slowly.

• It is completely normal for a considerable amount
of hot steam to be released from the filter cover
immediately after the basket is immersed.

• It is normal for drops of condensation to form
around the basket handle while the appliance is
working.

IN THE MODELS FITTED WITH THE ELECTRONIC
MINUTE TIMER

1. Set the cooking time by pressing key “I”; display
will show the minutes set.

2. The figures will begin flashing immediately
afterwards, signifying that the cooking time has
started. The last minute will be visualised in
seconds.

3. In the event of error, the new cooking time can be
set by keeping the button pressed down for more
than 2 seconds. The display will reset itself, then
repeat as for point 1 (above).

4. The minute timer will show the end of the cooking
time with two series of beeps at an interval of about
20 seconds. In order to switch off the audible alarm
you only need press minute timer key “

I”.

WARNING: the minute timer does not switch the
appliance off.

Replacing the minute timer battery (fig.4)

• Remove the minute timer from its compartment by
prying it from the upper side (see fig. 4A).

•Turn the battery cover (fig. 4B) placed on the back
in an anticlockwise direction until it is released.

• Replace the battery with another of the same type.

END OF FRYING TIME

When the selected frying time is elapsed, raise the basket
and check that food is golden brown as desired.
When the food is completely cooked, switch the
appliance off by setting the thermostat control to “Off”
until the switch is heard to click off. Leave the contents
to drip for a moment and then open the lid and remo­ve the basket without shaking it too vigorously.
