RECOMMENDATIONS

• 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 the operation requires the use of
special tools.
If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, an authorised technical service
centre or a qualified electrician in order to avoid all risk.

• While in operation, the appliance becomes hot. DO NOT LEAVE WITHIN REACH OF CHILDREN.

• 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.

• 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.

• The basket fits automatically onto the central pin in the bowl.

To avoid damage, never rotate it manually to find the right position.

• Before using the deep fryer for the first time, wash the removable bowl (Z), basket (E), lid (B) (after remo­ving the filters) and oil saver set (O, P and Q) in hot water and washing up liquid.
To empty the water, use the oil drain hose (if present) as shown in fig. 14.
At the end of the operation, dry everything thoroughly and remove any water left in the bottom of the
bowl and inside the oil drain hose. This prevents dangerous splashes of hot oil during operation.

• During operation, the drain hose must always be closed and in its compartment.

• The appliance must not be used by children or unfit persons without supervision. - Do not allow children
to play with the appliance.

• Never move the appliance while the oil is still hot.

• Move the appliance by the handles provided. (Never move the appliance using the basket handle).

• 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.

• 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.

• Great care must be taken when removing or replacing the removable bowl (Z), tilting it to match the hou­sing.
Never move the bowl until the oil and appliance are cold. Once the bowl is in place, make sure it is
positioned correctly otherwise it could be damaged when the lid (B) is closed.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Pour the oil into the bowl - 1.5 litres maximum capacity (1.3 kg of fat) or 1 litre minimum capacity (1 kg of
fat).

IMPORTANT: The level of oil should always be between the maximum and minimum marks.
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. Never mix different oils together. 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

Turn the appliance on by placing the thermostat regulator on the temperature required.
When the thermostat light has gone out, place the basket (containing the food) in the bowl in the raised posi­tion and close the lid. Lower the basket. Do not overfill (1.2 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 cover (G) and drops of condensation to form near the basket handgrip. At the end
of the cooking time, raise the basket and check the degree of cooking.

MODELS WITH ELECTRONIC TIMER

1. Set the cooking time by pressing the button (S). The minutes set appear on the display (T).

2. Immediately afterwards, the numbers begin to flash. This means the cooking time has begun.
The last minute is displayed in seconds.

3. If you make a mistake, you can set the new cooking time by holding the button down for more than two
seconds.
When the display has reset, repeat the operation.

4. The timer indicates the end of cooking time with two series of “beeps” separated by a 20 second gap.To
turn off the signal, just press the timer button (S).

IMPORTANT: the timer does not turn the appliance off

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.

• Make sure the food is sliced into thin, even pieces. If the slices are too thick, the food 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.
