IMPORTANT WARNINGS
• This appliance has been designed to fry foods for domestic use only. 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 it appears faulty.
Contact a service centre authorised by the manufacturer.
• 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 efficiently earthed socket with a minimum current rating of 10A only.
• The power cable of this appliance must not be replaced by the user as this requires the use of special
tools.
If it is damaged, contact a Customer Service Centre appointed by the manufacturer.
• Do not remove the plug by tugging the power cable. Always use the plug only.
• The power cable must not be placed near or against hot parts of the appliance, sources of heat or sharp
edges.
• Do not position the appliance near sources of heat or where there may be water.
• Serious burns may be caused by the deep fryer falling.
Do not leave the cable hanging from the edge of the top the deep fryer stands on where it may be within
reach of children or get in the way of the user. Do not use extensions.
• During operation, the appliance is hot. You should therefore use the handles and knobs only. DO NOT
LEAVE THE APPLIANCE WITHIN REACH OF CHILDREN.
• Do not move the deep fryer when the oil is hot, as there is a risk of serious burns. The appliance must be
moved only when cold, using the handles.
• The deep fryer must be operated only after having correctly filled it with oil or previously melted fat. If
heated when empty, a thermal cut-out device is activated and operation is interrupted.
• 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, cable or electrical plug in water or other liquids.
• The appliance is not intended for use by young children or unfit persons without supervision.
• Oil and fat are inflammable. If they catch fire, immediately unplug the appliance from the mains 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.
•Keep these instructions

THERMAL CUT-OUT DEVICE
The appliance is fitted with a thermal cut-out device which interrupts heating in the event of incorrect use or
faulty operation.
Once the appliance has cooled, use a toothpick or similar to delicately press the cut-out reset button (R)
marked RESET/RESTART (see fig. 1).
If the appliance is still not operational, contact a service centre authorised by the manufacturer.
INSTRUCTIONS
Before using the deep fryer for the first time, clean the basket, bowl and lid thoroughly with hot water and
washing-up liquid. The control unit (F) and heating element may be cleaned using a damp cloth.
Make sure water does not enter the control unit and that there is no residual water in the bottom of the removable bowl. Dry all parts thoroughly.
Make sure the control unit (F) is correctly fastened to the body of the deep fryer (M).
The safety micro-switch (O) will prevent the appliance from operating unless the control unit (F) is correctly
positioned in the deep fryer casing (M). The deep fryer is now ready for use.
FILLING WITH OIL OR FAT
• Open the lid (A) by pressing the button (P) (see figure 2).
Raise the handle of the tilting basket until it locks into place (pos. 2, fig. 3). Remove the basket (D) by pulling upwards.
• Pull out the length of cable required to connect the appliance to the mains from the cable compartment
(T) (see figure 4).
• If oil is being used, pour it into the bowl (E) until it reaches the maximum level indicated (see fig. 5).
Never exceed this limit as oil might overflow from the bowl.
The level of oil must always be between the maximum and minimum limits (max. 3 litres). For best results,
use good quality peanut oil.
• If lumps of fat are used, cut the lumps into pieces and melt them in another container, then pour the liquefied fat into the deep fryer bowl. Never melt the fat in the basket or on the deep fryer heating element
(see fig. 6).
PREHEATING
• Position the thermostat regulator (L) (see Fig. 7) on the required temperature (see cooking table).
•Turn the "power" knob (I) upwards. The red ON/OFF light (G) comes on.
The green "ready" light (H) also comes on to indicate that preheating is underway.
STARTING FRYING
• Place the food to be fried in the basket (E) without overfilling (max. 1 kg). Make sure the handle of the
basket is correctly positioned (pos. 2, fig. 3).
• Insert the basket in the deep fryer. Make sure it is positioned correctly (fig. 8).
• Close the lid.
• As soon as the green "ready" light (H) goes out, immerse the basket (D) into the oil by lowering the handle and at the same time pressing the button on the top of the handle (pos. 1, fig. 3). Lower the basket into
the oil very slowly to avoid the hot oil splashing or overflowing.
•A significant amount of steam will be released. This is completely normal.
END OF FRYING
•When the set cooking time has elapsed, lift the basket (D) (pos. 2, fig. 3) and check that the food is cooked
to the required colour.
