IMPORTANT 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 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. Children should be
supervised to ensure that 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.
• Appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control
system.
• 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before plugging into the mains, always make sure there is oil in the bowl.
Pour the oil into the bowl: 2,3 litres maximum capacity (2 kg of fat).
WARNING: The level of oil should always be between the maximum and minimum marks indicated inside the bowl. 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.
END OF FRYING
When the set cooking time has elapsed, lift the basket and check that the food is cooked to the required
colour. In models with viewing window, you can check the food by looking through the window without lifting the lid. If you decide the food is sufficiently cooked, turn the appliance off by placing the thermostat slider "F" in position "0" until you hear the internal switch click.
Drain excess oil by leaving the basket in the raised position inside the deep fryer.
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.
Cooking times and temperatures are approximate and must be adjusted according to quantity and personal
tastes.
