Thank you for choosing this 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.
Installation
• Before use, check that the appliance has not been damaged
during transport.
• Remove the appliance from the packaging, including any p.o.s.
• Before use, check that the power supply voltage corresponds
to the value shown on the appliance rating plate.The appliance
must always be connected to a well earthed socket rated at
10A minimum.The manufacturer is not liable for damage
caused by inadequate earthing of the appliance.
• Before using the deep fryer for the first time, carefully clean the
basket, the bowl, the casing and the lid, using warm water and dishwashing detergent. 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 will not allow the appliance to be
operated if the control unit is not correctly positioned in the casing.
• Place the fryer on a flat work surface at a safe distance from taps
and sinks.
• The deep fryer is now ready for use.
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 something
similar, delicately press the safety device reset button marked RESET
(see Fig. 1). If the appliance does not start operating again, contact a
service centre authorised by the manufacturer.
Using the fryer
• Remove the lid lifting it by the handle.Turn the folding handle of the
basket until it locks into place (pos. 2, Fig. 2). Remove the basket by
lifting it upwards.
• Remove the length of cable required to connect the appliance to the
mains, from the cable compartment (see Fig. 3).
•Pour 4 litres of oil into the bowl until reaching the maximum level
indicated (see Fig. 4). For best results, use good quality oil. Avoid
mixing different types of oil.
If using 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 (see fig. 5).
Warning:
the level of oil must always be between the maximum and
minimum levels (max. 4 lt. - min. 2,850 lt.) as indicated on
the inside of the bowl. Never exceed this limit, as oil may
overflow from the bowl. Do not use the deep fryer when
the level of oil is below the ‘min’ mark as this may trip the
thermal safety device (see thermal safety device paragraph
to reset the device).
• Place the lid on the fryer
Pre-heating
•Move the switch to position 1 (see Fig. 6).The light on the
switch will be lit.
• Place the food to be fried in the basket, without overfilling (max 1.3
kg of fresh potatoes).When frying ensure the food is evenly distributed in the basket. If cooking from frozen remove as much ice as possible by shaking the basket before placing it in the oil (see Frying Frozen Foods paragraph). Check that the handle of the basket is correctly positioned (pos. 2 in Fig. 2).
•Turn the thermostat knob (see Fig. 7) to the required temperature
(see cooking table).
•When the set temperature is reached, the temperature light will go out.
Frying
•As soon as the temperature light goes out remove the lid and place
the basket into the oil, lowering it very slowly to prevent the hot oil
from spraying or overflowing. Replace the lid.
• It is completely normal for a significant quantity of hot steam to be relea-
sed after placing the basket in the fryer and for condensation to drip from
the edge of the lid.
•To avoid the risk of burns, never place your hands above the filter on
the lid or above the deep fryer when frying. Before removing the lid
completely lift the lid slowly to release steam from the side.
After frying
•When the set cooking time has elapsed, remove the lid slowly, lift
the basket and make sure the food has reached the required colour.
• If the food is completely cooked, turn the appliance off by moving
the thermostat knob to the “MIN” position, until it clicks.
•Turn off the switch. The light on the switch will go out.
• Allow the excess oil to drain by hooking the basket onto the support in the bowl.
• N.B. When cooking in two phases (eg. potatoes) or if more food
