IMPORTANT WARNINGS
• 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 cen-
tre.
• If the deep fryer leaks oil, contact the technical service centre or staff authorised by the Company.
• 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.
• 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 appliance
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.
• Only use the detachable control panel supplied with
F26237
• 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.
• This is a household appliance only. It is not intended
for use: in staff kitchen areas in shops, office and
other working environments, farm houses, by clients
in hotels, motels and other residential type environments, bed and Breakfast type environments.
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
EN
(2 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
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 FRYING
1. Place the food to be fried in the basket. Never over
fill (1 kg max. of fresh potatoes).
To obtain more even frying you should concentrate
the food around the edge of the basket, with less
food in the centre.
2. Move the thermostat slider "L" to the required temperature (Fig. 1). When the set temperature is
reached, the indicator light "M" goes out.
3. As soon as the light has gone out, immerse the basket slowly in the oil by pushing the slider "P" on the
basket handle backwards then slowly lowering the
basket itself. Close the lid.
• It is normal for a considerable quantity of very hot
steam to be released from the filter cover immediately after the basket has been lowered.
• When cooking begins immediately after immersing
the food in the oil, the inside surface of the viewing
window "B" (if present) mists up then clears gradually.
• It is normal for drops of condensation to form near
the basket handle while the appliance is in operation.
MODELS WITH ELECTRONIC TIMER
1. Set the cooking time by pressing the button "G". The
minutes set appear on the display..
2. Immediately afterwards, the numbers begin to flash.
This means the cooking time has begun. During the
last minute the remaining time 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 from point 1.
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 "G".
IMPORTANT: the timer does not turn the appliance off.
REPLACING THE TIMER BATTERY
To replace the battery, contact your nearest customer
service centre.
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 "L" 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 (fig. 2).
FILTERING THE OIL OR FAT
You are recommended to filter the oil or fat after each
frying session as, particularly if coated in breadcrumbs
or flour, the particles of food remaining in the liquid
tend to burn, causing the oil or fat to alter more rapidly.
Make sure the oil is sufficiently cool (wait about two
hours). If you are using fat, make sure it does not cool
down excessively or it will solidify.
1. Open the fryer lid, remove the control panel "I" as
shown in figure 3 then take out the removable bowl
"D", holding it by the handles (Fig. 4), Remove the
lid as shown in Fig. 5. Empty the bowl (Fig. 6).
2. Remove residues from the bowl using a sponge or
absorbent paper.
3. Replace the removable bowl "D", making sure the
pointer on the bowl lines up with the pointer on the
appliance.
4. Replace the control panel "I" in its housing.
5. Put the basket back in the raised position and place
the filter in the bottom of the basket (Fig. 7). Filters
are available from your local dealer or one of our
service centres.
6. Then pour the oil or fat back into the deep fryer very
slowly to avoid it overflowing from the filter (Fig. 7).
IMPORTANT: The filtered oil can be kept inside the deep
fryer. However, if you will not be frying again for some
time, you should keep the oil in the dark in a closed
container to avoid it deteriorating. It is good practice to
