RECOMMENDATIONS
• Before use check that the voltage power supply corresponds to the one shown on the appliance data
plate.
• Only connect the appliance to electrical sockets
which have a minimum load of 10A and which are
properly earthed. (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).
• Do not place the appliance near heat sources.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent in order to
avoid a hazard.
• The appliance is hot when it is in use. DO NOT
LEAVE IT WITHIN THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
• Do not move the deep fryer when the oil is hot, as
there it could cause serious burns.
• The deep fryer must only be switched on after it has
been filled with oil or fat. If it is heated up while
empty, a thermal safety device comes into operation
which stops it from working. In this case it is necessary to contact our nearest authorised service centre.
• If the deep fryer leaks oil, contact the technical service centre or staff authorised by the Company.
• The basket clips automatically into the central pin in
the pan boiler. Therefore, to avoid breaking it, do
not turn it manually in order to seek the correct
position.
• Before using the deep fryer for the first time, wash
the pan, the basket and the lid (removing the filter)
carefully with hot water and washing up liquid.
When this has been done, dry carefully.
After washing, dry thoroughly. Remove any water left
in the bottom of the container. This avoids dangerous
spurts of hot oil during use.
• 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.
• Never move the appliance while the oil is still hot.
• To move the appliance, use the special lifting handles (I). (Never lift by the basket handle). Check that
the oil is cool enough (waiting about 2 hours).
• It is totally normal that, on first use, the refrigerator
emits a “new appliance” smell. If this happens,
aerate the room.
• Never leave the power cable hanging from the
edge of the surface the deep fryer is resting on,
where it could be grasped by a child or get in the
way of the user.
• When opening the lid, take great care to avoid hot
steam and splashes of boiling oil.
• Never use homemade or very acid oils.
• Appliance is not intended to be operated by means
of an external timer or separate remote-control
system.
• This appliance conforms to EC directive
2004/108/EC on Electromagnetic Compatibility
and EC regulation no. 1935/2004 of 27/10/2004
on materials intended for contact with food.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Filling with oil or fat
• Raise the basket (F) to the highest position by pulling the special “A” handle upwards (fig.1).
The lid should ALWAYS be closed when the basket
is raised and lowered.
• Open lid “C” by pressing button “O” (fig.2).
• Remove the basket by pulling it upwards (fig.3).
• Pour into the container 1.2 litres of oil (or 1 kg. of fat).
WARNING: The level must always be between the
maximum and minimum levels indicated.
Never use the deep fryer when the oil is below the
“min” level as it could cause the thermal safety device to come into operation; to replace it you need to
contact one of our service centres.
Best results are obtained by using a good peanut oil.
Avoid mixing different types of oil. If you use lumps of
solid fat, cut them into small pieces so that the deep
GB

fryer does not heat up in the first few minutes without a
covering of fat. The temperature must be set to 150°C
until the fat has melted completely. The required temperature can then be set.
STARTING TO FRY
1. Put the food which is to be fried into the basket, without
ever overfilling it (max. 1 kg. of fresh potatoes).
In order to obtain a more even frying, we recommend concentrating the food especially around the
perimeter of the basket., leaving the central part
more sparingly filled.
2. Put the basket into the boiler pan in a raised position (fig.3) and close the lid by pressing lightly
down upon it until the hooks click. Always close the
lid before lowering the basket in order to avoid hot
oil from splashing out.
3. Plug into the mains socket and set thermostat knob
“N” to the required temperature (fig.4). When the
temperature set has been reached, signal lamp “M”
will go off.
4. As soon as the signal lamp goes off, immerse the
basket in the oil, lowering the handle slowly after
sliding the handle’s “B” slider back.
• It is completely normal for a considerable amount of
very hot steam to pour out of filter cover “E” immediately after this.
• At the start of cooking, immediately after the food
has been immersed in the oil, the internal wall of
viewing window “D” will steam up, before progressively clearing.
• It is normal for drops of condensation to form around
the basket handle while the appliance is working.
MODELS WITH ELECTRONIC MINUTE TIMER
1 Set the cooking time by pressing the "L" button. The
display "K" will show the minutes set.
2 The numbers will straight away begin to flash. This
shows that the cooking time has begun. The last
minute is displayed in seconds.
3 If an error is made, the new cooking time can be set
by holding the button down for more than 2 seconds. The display will reset and the process can
then be repeated from point 1.
4 The minute timer will indicate the end of the cook-
ing time with two series of beeps about 20 seconds
apart. To turn the acoustic signal off, press the
minute timer button "L".
IMPORTANT: the minute timer does not turn the appliance off.
Replacing the minute timer battery (fig. 5)
• Remove the minute timer from its housing by prising
it from the lower side (see fig. 5A).
• Turn the battery cover on the back of the battery
anticlockwise (fig. 5B) until it comes free.
• Replace the battery with another of the same type
(L1131).
When replacing or disposing of the appliance, the battery must be removed and disposed of according to current legislation as it represents a hazard to the environment.
AFTER FRYING
When the cooking time runs out raise the basket and
check if the food has reached the required golden
colour. In the models fitted with a viewing window this
check can be carried out by looking through the window without opening the lid.
If cooking is complete, turn off the appliance by turning
the thermostat knob to the "O" position until the internal switch clicks.
Drain excess oil by leaving the basket inside the deep
fryer for a while in the high position.
FILTERING THE OIL OR FAT
We recommend that you carry out this procedure each
time you have finished frying as, especially when the
food has been breaded or floured, the food particles
tend to burn if they remain in the liquid thus causing
much quicker deterioration in the oil or fat.
Check that the oil is cool enough (waiting about 2
hours).
1. Remove the lid (fig. 6) and the removable pan "P",
holding it by the handle "Q" (fig. 7). Empty the pan
(fig. 8).
2. Remove any residues from the pan using a sponge
or absorbent paper. Put the removable pan "P"
back into the pan housing.
3. Place the basket in the high position and put the filter in the bottom (fig. 9). Filters can be obtained
from your dealer or an authorised service centre.
4. Pour the oil or fat into the deep fryer very slowly to
avoid the filter overflowing (fig. 10).
IMPORTANT: Once the oil has been filtered, it can be
kept inside the deep fryer. However, if the deep fryer is
not to be used again for some time, you are recommended to keep the oil in a closed container to avoid it
deteriorating. It is good practice to keep oil used to fry
fish separately from oil used to fry other foods
When using fat, do not allow it to cool excessively or
it will solidify.
