DEEP FAT FRYER DESCRIPTION

1) SWITCHING ON THE FRYER

The fryer is controlled by a thermostat and it can be switched on by turning the knob clockwise to the position desired (see fig. 1). A red indicator lamp indicates it is switched on.

Automatic cut-off switch

The appliance is provided with a cut-off device which intervenes if the oil temperature exceeds the safety limit. This device stops the fryer from functioning. For the fryer to start functioning again, you must wait until the oil temperature drops; then release the cut-off switch manually to start the appliance again. To carry out this procedure follow the instructions below:

· lift up the resistance and secure it in the vertical position;

· remove the kettle containing the oil taking care not to burn yourself;

· unscrew the tap situated in the rear of the interior casing (fig. 2);

· push the red button (fig. 3).

If the red button does not release, it means that the temperature sensor of the shut-down thermostat has not cooled down sufficiently. Wait for a few minutes then try again. If the problem persists even when the appliance is cool contact your nearest service centre.

USE

CAUTIONS FOR FRYING

Only oil or vegetable fat should be used for frying.

Amount of oil / fat min. 2 - max. 2.5 l.

Avoid mixing different types of oil / fat. It is important to fry at the right temperature for good results.

· Temperature too low: the food to be fried cooks too slowly and absorbs oil / fat.

· Temperature too high: the food forms a dark crust too quickly and the inside is not cooked.

· Do not use the fryer cover when cooking.

Almost all foods can be fried, e.g. chicken, fish, meat, vegetables, fruit, potatoes. Watery products are less suitable.

Dry the food to be fried well before cooking, shake off any excess flour, press down bread-crumbs well. If you intend to fry large quantities at any one time, it is wise to remove the basket after a few minutes, so that the oil can return quickly to its initial temperature. In this way food fried will be more crispy. The oil must be changed when food no longer becomes crispy (even when the temperature is adjusted correctly) or when the oil turns slightly darkcoloured.

HOW TO FRY

First of all set the desired temperature and wait until the oil has reached this temperature. Put the frying basket into the oil with the food to be fried. When frying is done, lift the basket and shake it lightly to drain off the excess oil. Hook the basket on the hanging device to drain the remaining oil.

IMPORT ANT ADVICE

- Before frying for the first time, wash the fryer kettle and basket with a sponge and soap and water (or use a product available on the market).

- Dry and polish with a clean dry cloth.

- Never leave the fryer unattended while in operation.

- As the surface of the fryer becomes hot during operation, children must be kept at a safe distance.

- Do not put plastic cutlery in the hot oil.

- Change dirty oil immediately as it is easily inflammable.

Warning! At no time should the oil come in contact with water. If in spite of all precautions taken the fryer should accidentally catch fire:

· Switch off the fryer (or pull out the plug).

· Remove the basket.

· Cover it with the lid provided.

Never put out a fire with water!

- Do not place easily inflammable or deformable objects directly under the fryer.

- Make sure that the power cables of electric appliances do not come in contact with the hot fryer.
