Thank you for choosing this electric deep fryer.To get the best results from
your deep fryer it is advisable to read these instructions before using the
appliance. This is the only way to ensure optimum results and maximum
safety.
Operating instructions
Pour the oil into the bowl: 2 litres maximum capacity (1.8 kg of fat).
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 it, contact an authorised service centre.
For best results, use good quality peanut oil.
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.
Starting frying
Plug into the mains socket and turn the pointer to the required temperature.
When the thermostat light goes out, lower the basket (containing the food) into
the oil and close the lid. Do not overfill (1 kg max. of fresh potatoes). Immediately
after the basket has been lowered, it is normal for a considerable quantity of very
hot steam to be given off from the filter and drops of condensation to form near
the basket handgrip.
At the end of the cooking time, raise the basket and check the degree of cooking.
Frying non-frozen food
• The food being fried must not be immersed in the oil until the oil has
reached the correct temperature and the light has gone off.
• Never over fill the basket This could cause a sudden drop in the temperature
of the oil and therefore greasier and less uniform frying.
• Check that the food is cut into thin, even pieces. If the food is too thick, it will
not be well cooked inside.
• When cooking food in batter, you should first immerse the basket empty.Then,
when the set temperature has been reached (the light goes out), immerse the
food directly in the hot oil to avoid the batter sticking to the basket.
• Dry the food thoroughly before immersing it in the oil or fat as moist
foods will be less crispy after cooking (especially potatoes). Foods with a high
water content (fish, meat, vegetables) should ideally be coated in breadcrumbs
or flour before frying. Make sure to remove excess flour or breadcrumbs before immersing the food in the oil.

Frying frozen food
Frozen foods are often covered with a layer of ice.This should be removed before cooking by shaking the basket.
Immerse the basket in the oil very slowly to prevent the oil from boiling over.
Cooking times and temperatures are approximate and must be adjusted according
to quantity and personal tastes.

Warning: Before immersing the basket, check that the lid is firmly closed.
(*) Recommended quantity for best frying results.You can, of course, fry a larger
quantity of frozen potato chips, but they will be greasier as a result of the sudden drop in oil temperature on immersion.

How long the oil or fat lasts
Every now and then it must be completely changed.As with any deep fryer, the oil
deteriorates after being heated a number of times! Even if used and filtered correctly, it should therefore be changed completely on a regular basis.You should
ideally change the oil completely after frying for 5/8 times and always in the event
of:
Unpleasant smell; smoke during frying; the oil becomes dark.
Before cleaning or maintenance, turn the appliance off and allow to cool down.You
should filter the oil or fat each time you fry, especially if you cook food in breadcrumbs or flour.
Food particles left in the liquid tend to burn and may cause the oil or fat to deteriorate more rapidly. Make sure the oil is sufficiently cold (wait about two hours).
Cleaning
Before cleaning, always unplug from the mains socket.
Never immerse the deep fryer in water and never place it under running tap water. If water gets into the appliance, it could cause electric
shock.
To r emove the lid, push backwards and at the same time lift upwards.Wash the
bowl in hot water and washing up liquid.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.The basket can be washed in a dishwasher. For models
with non-stick bowl, never use abrasive objects or detergents to clean the bowl.
Clean with a soft cloth and neutral detergent only.

Safety warnings
• 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 earthed power supply and sockets with a minimum
current rating of 10 A 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.
• The power cable of this appliance must not be replaced by the user as this
requires the use of special tools. If the power cable is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, an authorised service centre or a qualified professional in order to eliminate 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.
• Never use the deep fryer without oil.
• If oil leaks from the deep fryer, contact a technical service centre or personnel
authorised by the manufacturer.
• Before using the deep fryer for the first time,wash the bowl, basket and lid 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.This prevents dangerous splashes of hot oil during operation.
• The appliance is not intended for use by young children or unfit persons without
supervision.Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with
the appliance.
•To move the appliance, use the recesses at the bottom on all four sides. (Never
move the appliance using the basket handle).
•Never leave the power cable dangling from the work surface as it could be
grabbed by children or get in the way of the user.
• It is normal for the appliance to give off a "new" smell when used for the first
time.Ventilate the room.
•Materials and accessories coming into contact with food conform to EEC directive 89/109.

Electrical requirements
Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage indicated on the
product corresponds with the main voltage in your home, if you
are in any doubt about your supply contact your local electricity
company.The flexible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S.
1363 fused plug having a fuse of 13 amp capacity. Should this plug
not fit the socket outlets in your home, it should be cut off and
replaced with a suitable plug, following the procedure outlined
below.
Note: Such a plug cannot be used for any other appliance and
should therefore be properly disposed of and not left where children might find it and plug it into a supply socket - with the obvious consequent danger.
N.B.We recommend the use of good quality plugs and wall sockets
that can be switched off when the machine is not in use.
important: the wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are
coloured in accordance with the following code:
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may
not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected
to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by
the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely
retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the mains lead
clamp on the plug. If your electricity supply point has only two pin
socket outlets, or if you are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that
this operation be carried out by a qualified electrician and should
only be replaced with a flexible cord of the same size.
After replacement of a fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be
refitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a
replacement cover is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the
fuse recess or elsewhere on the plug.Always state this colour
when ordering a replacement fuse cover. Only 13amp replacement
fuses which are asta approved to B.S. 1362 should be fitted.
This appliance conforms to the Norms EN 55014 regarding the
suppression of radio interference.
