User instructions

Installation

All installation operations (electrical connection) must
be carried out by people qualified in compliance with
the laws in force. For specific instructions, see the
installation section.

Use

Barbecue (Fig. 1)

The barbecue is used for quick cooking on the grill.
Pressing the Touch Control commands turns on the
heating element (see the paragraph “Touch Control
instructions”), which can cook more or less quickly
depending on the level chosen from 1 a 12.
To use the grill, select power level 12.
This doesn’t mean that you can’t achieve excellent
results cooking on the grill even with the intermediate
power levels. These levels are recommended for cooking
delicate foods or when you want uniform cooking of the
food even inside.
The lava rocks in the tray absorb the drops of oil or
grease that are produced during cooking; Plus, they
accumulate heat as the heating elements are warming
up and, thus, provide more uniform grilling, similar to
the effect of cooking over charcoal briquettes. You
can put water in the tray, in place of the lava rocks (we
recommend a layer 3 cm deep).
Water in the tray eliminates unpleasant odours without
affecting the performance of the barbecue in any way.
So, for best results, we recommend pre-heating the lava
rocks for at least 10 minutes at level 1.
This is especially recommended when you turn on the
appliance for the first time because it decreases the
risk that the food will absorb the odours that the heating

element produces the first time it is turned on.

Use

Fryer (Fig. 2)

The appliance is operated using the Touch Control
commands (see the paragraph “Touch Control“) which
can set a temperature between 80 and 200 °C.
The fryer has a probe that keeps the oil at a constant
temperature. In addition, if the main probe is not working
properly, a safety thermostat intervenes, at about 220°
C, to keep the oil from getting too hot. This device is very
easy to use but, to obtain the best results, you should
follow a few simple rules:

- Before putting oil in it for the first time, carefully clean
the steel parts and the heating elements to eliminate
any residues from the manufacturing process.

- Never turn the appliance on with the heating elements
turned outside the tub.

- Never turn the appliance on without oil in the tub.

- Always use vegetable oil suitable for frying: oils made
from sunflower and other seeds are not recommended.

- The quantity of oil in the tub can vary from a minimum
of 2 to a maximum of 2.7 litres. If the level of oil drops
below the minimum during frying, you must add fresh
oil. We recommend that you add the same type of oil.
The maximum and minimum levels are etched on the
vertical wall of the tub.

- The oil can be reused several times but we recommend
that you filter it between one use and the next to
remove any food residues.

- In any case, the
because, even if it is well filtered, small food residues

can catch fire during frying.

- Make sure that the food is perfectly dry before putting
in the fryer. Wait until the oil has reached the desired
temperature.

- We recommend that frozen foods be thawed at a low
temperature and then fried at a high temperature. The
temperature setting can vary with the quantity of food
to be cooked and the user’s personal taste but, in
general, you should keep the following chart in mind:

- During cooking, it is often necessary to add salt or

flavouring:

oil should be changed very often

Maintenance

Unplug the appliance before performing any maintenance.
To increase the life of the appliance, it is essential to
periodically perform a general cleaning, keeping the
following in mind:

- the steel parts must be cleaned with a suitable product
(available in stores) that is not abrasive or corrosive.

Avoid products that contain chlorine (bleach, etc.);

- avoid leaving acid or alkaline substances on the work
surface (vinegar, salt, lemon juice, etc.).

Fig. 2

Temperature Level Food

160° C chicken thighs and wings
170° C fritters, fish
180° C croquettes
190° C French fries

to the extent possible, avoid doing this directly in the fryer
because salt falling in the oil reduces its quality.

- If the fryer malfunctions, before asking for service, try
to reset the thermostat by pressing the little button that
you can see on the inside of the front wall, after you
remove the oil tub and unscrew the protection plug.
