very serious burns.
- It is essential that you wait until the oil
has cooled down before emptying the
oil from the fryer.
- Never obstruct the odour filtration zone
(A1) located on the lid with your hand or
any other object whatsoever (cloth, dish,
plate, etc.), as you run the risk of being
burnt.
Check that the level of the oil is
above the “min” level indicated in the
bowl (D1) but does not exceed the
"max" level.
- Oil and fat are flammable products. If
the oil or fat catches fire, unplug the
appliance, cover it with its own lid or a
damp cloth to stifle the flame, but never
use water.
Before first use
Unpack your fryer and remove all
packaging (stickers,papers, plastic
bags…) before use. Keep your proof of
purchase, then read the instructions for
use carefully.
Open the lid (A) by pressing on the
release button (B).
Remove the basket (C)
Wash the basket and the bowl (D) with
hot water and washing up liquid, rinse
and dry carefully.
Using the appliance
ADDING OIL OR FAT
Open the lid by pushing on the lid
release button.
Remove the basket.
If you are using oil, pour the oil into the
removable bowl up to the Maxi level,
which is about 2.2 litres.
Never exceed the "maxi" level
indicated in the bowl.
If you use solid vegetable fat, take 1800 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.
Close the lid until you hear a “click”.
Plug in the fryer.
FRYING FOOD
Lift the On/Off switch (F).
Set the temperature selector (E) to the
required setting (see cooking charts).
When the temperature regulator light
goes off, open the lid by pushing on the
opening button.
Place the basket in the draining
position.
Close the lid.
Slowly lower the basket into the oil from
the draining position.
Press the handle unlocking buttons (C1)
to fold back fully into its housing on the
outside of the fryer.
When the cooking is finished, lift the
handle (C2) horizontally, until you hear a
“click” as it locks. Place the basket on
the edge of the bowl with basket
hanging clips.
Open the lid and let the food drain.
Remove the basket. Serve the food.
Close the lid when the fryer is not in
use. To use a second time wait for the
temperature indicator light to go out
before frying. To avoid any risk of burns,
never put your hands above the odour
filtration zone.
FILTERING THE OIL
Remove small pieces of food with a
non-metallic 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
food tend to burn and alter the quality of
the oil more quickly. Over time this
increases the risk of the fryer catching
fire. For this reason, filter the oil
regularly.
CHANGING THE OIL
Unplug the fryer. Wait until the oil is
lukewarm. Remove the lid.
Empty the oil or fat into a large container
and put it in the waste disposal.
Practical tips
OIL OR FAT
Never operate your fryer without oil.
Always use a good quality blended
vegetable oil which can withstand high
temperatures.
Do not mix different types of oils.
Change the oil when it becomes brown
(every 8 to 12 uses, depending on the
amount of cooking done). If using
sunflower oil, groundnut oil and soya oil
ensure the oil is changed after every 5

uses.
Never use lard or dripping as this may
cause overflowing, smoking or risk of
fire.
Important: Before each use, make holes
in the solid fat with a non-metallic
spatula in the bottom of the bowl, in
order to allow any water trapped under
the fat to escape in the form of steam.
Set the temperature selector to position
150°C to melt the fat.
PREPARING FOODS FOR FRYING
No matter what the recipe, food must be
perfectly dry : this will prevent
overflowing and extend the life of the oil.
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 placing the frozen food in the
basket and gently shaking the basket
over the sink.
COOKING
Do not overfill the basket, or you will
cause the temperature of the hot oil to
drop too much, and this will make the
food greasy and soggy.
The capacity of your fryer is limited to:
- 1 kg of fresh chips
- 750 g of frozen chips
For best results, we advise that you use:
- 600 g of fresh chips
- 375 g of frozen chips
Do not leave your fryer heating
unnecessarily: your oil will last longer
this way.
Do not leave your cooked food in the
basket in the draining position for too
long, as the steam may soften them and
make them soggy.
Cleaning
Unplug your appliance and allow it to
cool down before handling it.
Clean the exterior of the fryer with a
damp cloth. Do not use an abrasive pad
or any abrasive or alcohol based
cleaning products.
Never immerse the appliance in water
and never wash it under running water.
Remove the lid. Wash the lid with hot
water with washing up liquid, rinse and
dry.
Never wash the lid in the dishwasher.
Wash the basket in the dishwasher or in
hot water with washing up liquid, rinse
and dry.
When you change the oil, take the
opportunity to clean your removable
bowl in the dishwasher or in hot water
with washing up liquid. Rinse and dry.
Never use a scouring pad, any metallic
object or scouring powder. You will risk
damaging the non-stick coating of the
bowl. Damage to the bowl by not
following these guidelines is not
covered in the guarantee.
Scratches inside the removable bowl or
brown marks on the exterior may
appear naturally if you use the
appliance frequently.

Useful Cooks Tips for Deep Fat Frying
For the best results when frying chips cut from fresh potatoes, you can cook them
in 2 stages.
For 1000 g chips :
- a first frying at 160 °C for 7 - 9 min then
- a second frying at 190 °C for 6 - 9 min.
For 600 g chips :
- a first frying at 160 °C for 6 - 8 min then
- a second frying at 190 °C for 5 - 8 min.
For the crispiest results, dry food items thoroughly before frying, especially freshly
made chipped potatoes.
Large pieces of chicken or large chips need a longer cooking time.
Set the temperature control according to the table above, or follow the instructions
of food packaging.
When cooking battered food and doughnuts, remove the wire basket to prevent
food sticking to it. Take great care when handling the food and use tongs.
Gradually place the food in the hot oil, submerging it an inch at a time to prevent it
from sinking straight away.
