DESCRIPTION
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
• Remove the lid- fig.1.
• Wash the basket, the bowl and the lid with
hot water and washing-up liquid.
• Rinse and dry carefully.
• Attach the handle to the basket -
fig.2
and fig.3.
Never immerse the appliance in water.
FILLING THE BOWL
• If you are using oil, pour the oil into the
bowl up to the "MAX" level, which is about 1
litre.
• Use an oil recommended for deep frying:
For best results we recommend using
blended vegetable oil. For sunflower oil,
ensure the oil is changed after every 5 uses.
If you use solid vegetable fat, cut it into
pieces and melt it in a separate pan then
pour it inside the fryer bowl.
Oils which should not be used under any
circumstances and may cause
overflowing/smoking/risk of fire are: ground
nut oil, soya oil, olive oil, lard or dripping.
• The oil/fat level must always be between
the MIN and MAX markers, stamped inside
the bowl -
fig.4.
• If you use solid vegetable fat, take 750 g of
fat, cut into pieces and melt it in a
separate pan then pour it into the bowl.
• Never melt the blocks of fat in the basket,
nor in the bowl.
Never exceed the "MAX" level indicated in
the bowl. Check the oil/fat level each time
prior to cooking and add some of the same
type of oil if necessary. Never use different
types of oil at the same time as this may
cause the oil to overflow.
PREHEATING
• Put the lid on the fryer.
• Make sure that the temperature selector is
set to the minimum position and plug in the
fryer -
fig.5.
• Set the temperature selector to the
required setting (see cooking charts).
• The temperature regulator light goes on
and the fryer begins to heat up - fig.6.
Place the fryer:
- on a stable, heat-resistant surface,
- out of the reach of children
- away from water or heat sources.
Never operate your fryer without any oil or
fat.
LOADING THE BASKET
• Remove excess moisture (water and ice)
from the food.
• Fill the basket 2/3 full, away from the fryer.
Never exceed the maximum capacity, as
per the chart below
• Reduce food quantity for frozen foods (see
table below and table of cooking times
p.4).
Do not overfill the basket, as this may cause the oil to
overflow. No matter what the recipe, food must be
perfectly dry: this will prevent overflowing and extend
the life of the oil.

A
T THE END OF THE COOKING TIME
• When the cooking is finished, remove the
lid.
• Raise the basket and place it on the edge
of the bowl using the basket hanging clip
to let the food drain -
fig.10.
• Serve the food.
• If you need to fry several batches of food in
succession, correct the oil level if necessary
and wait until the temperature regulator
light has gone out before lowering the next
batch of food into the oil.
When the fryer is in use, some parts will be
extremely hot and can cause severe burns.
Steam coming from the filter is also extremely
hot -
fig.9. Only touch the handles and
knobs of the fryer for your safety. Put the lid
on the fryer while not in use.
SWITCHING OFF THE DEEP FRYER
• When you have finished frying, lower the
thermostat knob to the minimum position.
• Unplug the deep fryer.
• Leave the fryer (and the oil within) to cool
completely (approx. 2 hours).
• Move the fryer using the carrying handles.
Never move the fryer while the oil or fat is still hot.

COOKING
LOWERING THE BASKET
• Once the oil has reached the selected
temperature, the temperature-ready light
goes off -
fig.6.
• Remove the lid.
• Slowly lower the basket into the oil -
fig.7.
• Close the lid - fig.8.
Plunging the basket too rapidly may cause
the oil to splatter or to overflow.
Keeping the lid closed during frying is
recommended to help alleviate odours and
to help reduce splatters for your safety.
During the cooking, it is normal for the
temperature light to go on and off.
TABLE OF COOKING TIMES
• The cooking times are guidelines only. They
may vary depending on the size of the
food, the amount of food, individual
preferences, and the mains voltage.
When dishes include raw potatoes (chips, crisps and
potato straws), wash them in cold water to get rid of
the starch. This will stop them from sticking together.
Dry them carefully and thoroughly with paper kitchen
towel.
When preparing frozen foods, before cooking,
remove any ice crystals on the food by shaking the
basket of food to be fried over the sink.

FILTERING THE OIL
• Remove small pieces of food with a nonmetallic skimmer.
• You may store the oil or fat in the fryer, or in
a separate airtight container.
• Filter the oil after each use with a filter
paper (available from approved service
centres).
• Crumbs that break away from foods tend
to burn and alter the quality of the oil more
rapidly. Over time, this increases the risk of
catching fire. For this reason, filter the oil
regularly.
We recommend changing the oil after a
maximum of 8 to 12 uses.
CHANGING THE OIL
• Unplug the fryer. Wait until the oil is
lukewarm. Remove the lid.
• Do not pour used oil into the sink. Leave it
to cool, and throw it away with the
household waste - according to the local
community regulations.
CLEANING THE FRYER
• Clean the bowl and the lid with hot water
and washing-up liquid -
fig. 11. Rinse and
dry carefully.
• Wash the basket in the dishwasher or with a
sponge and washing-up liquid - fig.12. Rinse
and dry.
• Do not use an abrasive pad or any
abrasive or alcohol based cleaning
products.
• Ensure that all components are dry before
placing them back inside the fryer.
Never put the lid in the dishwasher.
Never immerse the appliance in water and
never wash if under running water.
Do not store your fryer outside.
