IMPORTANT WARNINGS

• This appliance has been designed to fry foods exclusively for household use; it must not be used for other
purposes and must not be modified or tampered with in any way.

• Do not turn the appliance on if it is damaged (e.g. after having been dropped) or if operating problems
arise. Contact a service centre authorised by the manufacturer.

• Before using the appliance check that the mains voltage corresponds to the value specified on the applian­ce rating plate.

• Only connect the appliance to power points with a minimum rating of 10A that are properly earthed.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent in order to avoid
a hazard.

• Do not remove the plug by tugging the power cable: always use the plug itself.

• The power cable must not be placed near or against the hot parts of the appliance, sources of heat or
sharp edges.

• Do not position the appliance near sources of heat or where water may be present.

• Serious burns may be caused by the deep fryer falling. Do not leave the cable hanging from the edge of
the surface the deep fryer rests on, where it may be within the reach of a child or represent an obstacle
to the user. Do not use extension cords.

• During operation the appliance is hot; as a consequence, only use the handles and knobs.
DO NOT LEAVE THE APPLIANCE WITHIN THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

• Do not move the deep fryer when the oil is hot, as this risks causing serious burns. The appliance must
only be moved when cold, using the handles.

• The deep fryer must be operated only after having correctly filled it with oil or liquefied fat; if heated when
empty, a thermal safety device is activated to stop operation. If lard is being used, you must always acti­vate the "Lard Function".

• Always respect the MIN and MAX levels indicated inside the removable container.

• The safety micro-switch ensures that the heating element operates only if the control unit is correctly posi­tioned.

• Always keep the appliance disconnected during cleaning operations and when not in use.

• Never immerse the control unit, the cable and the electrical plug in water or other liquids.

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

• The oil and fat are inflammable; if these substances catch fire, immediately disconnect the appliance from
the power point and dampen the fire using the lid or a blanket. Never use water to extinguish the flames.

• When removing the bowl, always wait for the oil or fat to cool completely.

• Materials and accessories coming into contact with food conform to EC regulation 1935/2004.

• When opening the lid, take great care to avoid hot steam and splashes of boiling oil.

• Appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control
system.

• Keep these instructions.

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 similar, delicately press
the safety device reset button (W) marked RESET (see Fig. 1). If the appliance does not start operating again,
contact a service centre authorised by the manufacturer.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before using the deep fryer for the first time, carefully clean, using warm water and dishwashing detergent,
the basket, the bowl and the cover. 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 (H) will pre­vent the appliance from operating unless the control unit is correctly positioned (N).

FILLING WITH OIL OR FAT

• Turn the folding handle of the basket until it locks into place (pos. 2, Fig. 2). Remove the basket (I) by lif­ting it upwards.

• If oil is used, pour it into the bowl (K) until reaching the maximum level indicated (see Fig. 4). Never
exceed this limit, as oil may overflow from the container. The level of oil must always be between the maxi­mum and minimum limits (L). For best results, use good quality peanut oil.

PREHEATING

• Place the food to be fried in the basket (I), without exceeding the maximum level indicated on the basket
(fig. 7). Check that the handle of the basket is correctly positioned (pos. 2 in Fig. 2).

• Connect to the mains supply. Both lights (E) and (F) come on.

PROGRAMMING THE DEEP FRYER

Use the “-/+” buttons (B) to set the temperature from 120°C a 190°C.
Pressing the button once increases or decreases the temperature by 5°C.
Use the MODE (C) button to access the temperature or time settings.
Use the “-/+” buttons (B) to adjust cooking time from 0 to 60 minutes. Pressing the button once increases or
decreases time by 30 seconds. After setting the temperature and time, press the ON/OFF button (D) (if the
time has not been set, the deep fryer will not begin the heating process). The deep fryer begins the heating
process. The red light (E) comes on. During this process, you can still modify temperature and cooking time
using the “-/+” buttons (B) and the MODE (C) button to modify the selection.
When the appliance reaches the set temperature, the green light (F) comes on and the deep fryer emits two
“beeps”.
