SAFETY WARNINGS
• As with any electrical appliance, whilst the instructions aim to cover as many eventualities as possible, caution and common sense should be applied when operating your fryer, particularly in the vicinity of young
children.
• 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.
• Do not immerse the deep fryer in water. The infiltration of water may cause electric shocks.
• The appliance is hot when it is in use. DO NOT LEAVE IT WITHIN THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
•Hot oil can cause serious burns. Do not move the deep fryer when the oil is hot.
•
Empty the bowl only when the oil and appliance are cold.
•Never touch the viewing window when frying as it becomes very hot.
•To move the appliance, use the special lifting handles. (Never lift by the basket handle).
• The deep fryer must only be switched on after it has been filled with oil or fat. If it is heated 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 to replace the device.
•Wash the following carefully with hot water and washing up liquid before using the deep fryer for the first
time: the fryer bowl, the basket and the lid (remove filters).
• The materials and objects likely to come into contact with foodstuffs conform to EEC Directive.
• Using the appliance for the first time may result in minimal smoke. This is normal and disappears in few
minutes. The room must be ventilated.
• Children or infirm persons should not be allowed to use this product unsupervised.
• Children should not be allowed to play with this appliance.
• Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of the worksurface where it may be grabbed by children or
become entangled with the user. Do not use with an extension cord.
• If it is necessary to replace the power cable, contact a service centre approved by the manufacturer.

Thank you for choosing this electric fryer. To get the best results from your deep fryer it is advisable to
read these instructions before using the appliance. This is the only way to ensure optimum results and
maximum safety.
INSTALLATION
• Before use, check that the mains power supply corresponds to the voltage supply indicated on the appliance.
• Before use, wash the removable bowl, cover (remove the filters) and basket with hot water and washing
up liquid, then dry the bowl thoroughly.
•Never switch on the fryer before adding oil or fat. If the fryer is operated without oil or fat, a thermal
safety device is activated and will stop the fryer from working. In this case, it is necessary to contact one
of our authorised service centres before re-using the appliance.
USING THE FRYER
• Open lid by pressing button (fig.1).
• Raise the handle as shown in fig. 2. Remove the basket from the fryer.
The basket has two different positions:
the lower position to fry the food and the raised position to drain the food at the end of the cooking time.
FILLING WITH OIL OR FAT
• Remove the basket by pulling it upwards.
• Pour into the container 2 litres of oil (or 1,8 kg. of fat).
• Before pouring in the oil, make sure the bowl is inserted in the fryer.
For best results use a good quality 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 an even covering of fat. The temperature must be set to 150°C until the fat has melted completely. The required temperature can then be set.
Warning
The level of oil must always be between the maximum and minimum levels indicated inside the bowl.
Never use the deep fryer when the oil is below the “min” level as it could cause the thermal safety device to
be activated; to replace it you will need to contact one of our service centres.
FRYING
1. Put the food to be fried into the basket, without overfilling (max. 1 kg. of fresh potatoes). Ensure the food
is evenly distributed in the basket.
If cooking food from frozen, make sure very little ice crystals are included (see frying frozen food).
2. Put the basket into the fryer bowl in a raised position and close the lid by pressing lightly down upon it
until the hooks click. Always close the lid before lowering the basket to avoid hot oil from splashing out.
3. Set thermostat knob to the required temperature (fig. 3). When the temperature set has been reached,
the indicator light will switch off.
4. When the light goes out, pull the button on the top of the basket handle outwards then immerse in the oil
by lowering slowly.
• It is completely normal for a considerable amount of hot steam to be released from the filter cover immediately after the basket is immersed.
• At the start of cooking, immediately after the food has been immersed in the oil, the internal wall of the
viewing window (where present) will steam up, before clearing.
