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.
• 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 remo-
14
ving 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.
• Materials and accessories coming into contact with food conform to EEC directive 89/109.
•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
FILLING WITH OIL OR FAT
• Raise the basket into the top position by pulling the handle upwards (C) (fig. 1).
ALWAYS raise and lower the basket with the lid closed.
• Open the lid (B) by pressing the button (V) (fig. 2).
• Remove the basket by pulling upwards (fig. 3).
• Pour the oil into the container - 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
1. Place the food to be fried in the basket. Never over fill (1.2 kg max. of fresh potatoes).
To obtain more even frying you should concentrate the food around the edge of the basket, with less food
at the centre.
2. Place the basket in the bowl in the raised position (fig. 3) and close the lid, pressing lightly until it clips
into place.
To avoid splashes of hot oil, always close the lid before lowering the basket.
3. Turn the thermostat knob (L) to the required temperature (fig. 4).
When the set temperature is reached, the indicator light (I) goes out.
4. As soon as the light has gone out, immerse the basket in the oil by pushing the slide (D) on the basket
handle backwards and slowly lowering the basket itself.
• It is normal for a considerable quantity of very hot steam to be given off from the filter cover (G) immediately after the basket has been lowered.

16
• Immediately after immersing the food in the oil, when cooking begins, the inside surface of the viewing
window (F) (if present) mists up then clears gradually.
• It is normally 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 (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 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 (S).
The timer can be attached to your clothes using the special clip.
IMPORTANT: the timer does not turn the appliance off
REPLACING THE TIMER BATTERY
• Remove the timer from its housing (fig. 16).
• Remove the back cover with a screwdriver (fig. 17).
•Turn the battery cover (fig. 18) anticlockwise until it is released.
• Replace the battery with another of the same kind.
• Re-assemble the timer.
If the appliance is replaced or eliminated, the battery must be removed and disposed of in conformity with
current legislation as it is harmful to the environment.
END OF FRYING
When the set cooking time has elapsed, raise the basket (E) and check that the food is cooked to the required colour. In models with viewing window (F), 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 rotating the thermostat knob (L) to the "0" position until you hear the internal switch click.
Drain excess oil by leaving the basket in the raised position inside the deep fryer.
FILTERING THE OIL OR FAT
You should filter the oil or fat each time you fry, especially if you cook food in breadcrumbs or flour.
Food particles left in the liquid tend to burn and may cause the oil or fat to deteriorate more rapidly.
Make sure the oil is sufficiently cold (wait about two hours).
Move the deep fryer towards the edge of the work top (fig. 5).
To avoid the appliance falling while the oil is being filtered, make sure the "U" feet are always resting on
the work top (fig. 5).
MODELS WITHOUT DRAIN HOSE (R) AND OIL CONTAINER (P)
1. Open the fryer lid (B) and remove the bowl (Z) (fig. 24), holding it by the handles. Empty the bowl.
2. Remove any residues left in the bowl with a sponge or absorbent paper. Put the removable bowl (Z) back
in place.
3. Put the basket (E) back in the raised position and place one of the filters provided in the bottom (fig. 20).
