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 (remove filters) 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 “

L”. (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.

• The materials and objects likely to come into con­tact with foodstuffs conform to EEC Directive
89/109.

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.

FILLING THE BOWL

• Raise the basket into its upper position by lifting
upwards on the handle (Fig. 1).

• Push on the “

I” button (Fig. 1) and 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 lt. of oil into the bowl (or approx.1,8
kg./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 peanut seed oil. Olive oil
is optimal due to its slower degradation, but prolonged
use accentuates its flavour. 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.
It is also advisable to place thermostat on 150°C
during initial heating-up phase.
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 1 kg 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 “

P” (fig. 3) to the
desired temperature (see enclosed table). When
the selected temperature is reached, the control
light will switch off.

FRYING
As soon as the pilot lamp switches off, move the

handle slider in the handle “

G” 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 inspection window (if provided) will immedia­tely become steam up. This steam will disappear

gradually as the food is cooked.
For models with viewing window, grease the glass
door with a little oil before cooking to reduce the
accumulation of condensate and thereby improve
visibility.

IN THE MODELS FITTED WITH THE ELECTRONIC
MINUTE TIMER

1. Set the cooking time by pressing key “N”; display
“

M” 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 “

N”.

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. This can
be done without opening the lid in models with window.
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.

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).
