The Magimix Deep Fryer

The Magimix Stainless Steel Deep
Fryer is built to professional quality.
It has two stainless steel bulb thermostats
for very accurate temperature control,
ensuring cleaner, crisper food.

Unlike a conventional domestic
deep fryer, the Magimix fryer has a cool
zone between the heating element and the
bottom of the oil reservoir so the oil
remains cleaner and lasts for up to 30
fryings - twice as long as ordinary fryers.

It’s also easy to clean; just put it in
the dishwasher.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

1.Read all instructions and keep in a safe place for future reference.

2.Keep away from children.

3.Never use the fryer with the lid on, when the oil is heating up or cooling down
or while frying. This can be dangerous as condensation can form on the underside
of the lid which in turn may drop into the hot oil causing it to spit or boil over.

THE

LID IS ONLY TO BE USED TO COVER THE FRYER FOR THE STORAGE OF COLD OIL.

4.ALWAYS USE AN OIL WHICH IS SHOWN AS SUITABLE FOR DEEP FRYING.

5.Never switch on the fryer when the oil container (7) is empty or when the oil
level is under the minimum level marked by the indicator.

6.Never immerse the following parts in the water or any other liquid : the control box
(5), the heating element (8), the electric cord (9). These are only to be cleaned with
a damp cloth.

7.Do not move the fryer when it is hot, spilt oil can cause severe burns. Wait until
the oil is cold. The fryer can then be moved using the side handles.

8.When cooking, never leave the Fryer unattended.

9.Be sure the cord (9) does not overhang the countertop edge and is not in
contact with any part of the fryer that becomes hot.

10.Do not put the appliance near or in contact with any heat source (e.G. cooker
hotplate, oven)

11.As used by catering « professionals », this is an <open>, fryer. The lid must be
left off during cooking to ensure that the food being cooked becomes crisp. The
user’s attention is drawn to 3 above.

12.Do not use appliance for any other purpose than frying food.

13.Never use a worn lead.

14.Unplug the deep fryer when not in use.

15.The use of solid fat (in the deep fryer) is not recommended, It will dammage the
appliance.

16.This appliance should not be used for anything other than domestic use.

7

17.Always ensure that the two bulb thermostats are firmly fixed onto the element
and are not hanging loose.

18.FRYERS FITTED WITH A TIMER : THE TIMER DOES NOT TURN THE FRYER
ON OR OFF, BUT ACTS AS AN INDICATION OF COOKING TIMES. HOLD THE FRYER
FIRMLY WHEN SETTING THE TIMER TO ENSURE THE FRYER DOES
NOT MOVE.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

1.Before using your Magimix deep fryer, rinse out the oil container (7) and the
basket (3) with warm water and detergent. Dry carefully. Clean the electric element
with a dramp cloth, but importantly, do not use detergent.

2.Fill the oil container (7) with oil that is suitable for deep frying to the right level,
which is between the maximum and minimum marks. (The quantity will vary by
model).

model maximum minimum

4.5 litre 4.5 litres 3.0 litres

3.0 litre 3.0 litres 2.0 litres

3.Once the appliance is connected, turn the thermostat knob (4) clockwise to
choose the required temperature. The red pilot light (6) will come on and remain
on until the fryer reaches the required temperature : it will then go out. Your fryer
is then read to use.

4.To avoid steam and spitting, ensure that the food to be fried is dry. Do not fill
the basket more than two thirds full. Slowly lower the basket into the oil to allow
any water that the food may contain to evaporate.

5.To fry chips, first blanch them (4 to 6 minutes) at 170°C then increase the
temperature to 180°C and lower the basket into the oil and continue to fry until
the chips are brown (approximately 2 minutes).

6.Meat, fish and pieces of poultry can be placed directly into the oil without using
the basket.

7.When cooking deep-frozen food, only fry small quantities at a time. The sudden

evaporation of the water contained in frozen food might make the oil boil over.

8. In order to keep your oil clean for as long as possible, do not add salt or spices directly

into the oil during cooking.

8

9.If the oil smokes or bubbles a lot : either the temperature is too high or too low,

or the oil has deteriorated and has to be changed. Do not add new oil but renew
it entirely.

10.When cooking, never leave the Fryer unattended.

11. Fryers fitted with a timer : to wind the timer, turn clockwise to at least half way (15

minutes). For shorter times, return anti-clockwise to the desired position. Hold the Fryer
firmly when setting the timer to ensure the Fryer does not move.

AFTER FRYING

1. Take out the basket and hang it on the hook (10) to drain off the oil. Turn the thermostat

knob back to ‘0’ and disconnected the appliance.

2.Wait until the oil is cold before covering it with the lid (2).

3.Do not move the deep fryer until the oil is cold .

IMPORTANT : THE TIMER DOES NOT TURN THE FRYER ON OR OFF, BUT ACTS AS AN
INDICATION OF COOKING TIMES.

OIL FILTERING

1.The frying residues which float on the oil’s surface can be removed with a

strainer.

2.The other residues settle down in the « cool zone », under the heating element,

avoiding any flavour and smell transference between the different dishes.

3.It is not not necessary to filter the oil after each use, even when you have cooked

different types and flavours of food one after the other. However oil lasts longer when it
is regularly filtered. To do this, first wait until the oil is cold, then pour into
a clean bowl or bottle and wash the oil container by hand or in a dishwasher, rinse and
dry thoroughly.

4.Pour the oil back into the container through a strainer. Check the oil level.

CLEANING

1.The basket, outer casing (1) and oil container can be washed by hand or in a

dishwasher.

2.Do not put the thermostat in water. This may be cleaned with a damp cloth

containing no detergent.

FAULTS

1.If the fuse blows out, check the fuse value and fit a new one.

2.Your fryer is fitted with a safety cut-out. If the thermostat fails to work and the green

pilot light goes off, it is possible that the cut-out has come on.

3.Firstly, unplug the fryer from the mains

switch. In order to reset the cut-out, gently
press a skewer or small screwdriver into the
hole on the back of the thermostat control box as
indicated on the diagram below.

4.If the thermostat fails again, it will need to be

repaired by a Magimix Service Agent. For
