• This appliance complies with current safety
regulations and requirements as well as directives:
- 89/336/CEE modified by 93/68/CEE
- 73/23/CEE modified by 93/68/CEE
• This electrical appliance operates at high
temperatures which may cause burns. Despite the
high heat protection of the deep fryer, do not
touch the apparent metal parts or the window.
• Do not leave the appliance switched on while
unattended.
• Use and store it out of children’s reach.
• Never insert any object between the removable
bowl and the bottom of the appliance.
• Always plug in the appliance at an earthed

• Do not use an extension lead. If you accept liability
for doing so, only use an extension lead which is in
good condition, has an earthed plug, and is suited
to the power of the appliance.
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds with that
shown on the appliance (alternating current only).
• If the appliance is used in a country other than that
of purchase, have it checked by an approved
Service Centre.
• Never use or plug in your appliance if:
- its power cord is faulty or damaged,
- the appliance has been dropped,
- it has visible damage or operating faults.
In such cases, to avoid any danger contact your
nearest approved Service Centre to have the
appliance repaired, as special tools are needed.
Never take the appliance apart yourself. This will

AZURA is equipped with an exclusive and patented system to ensure
optimum filtration of frying odours and steam during cooking: PURE AIR
CATALYSE®, a system which requires no handling and is maintenance free.
•
This principle of catalysis filtering has been tested and its efficiency during
cooking has been acknowledged by independent organizations (CERTECH).
•
Its efficiency is constant: no longer any need to change the filter.
•
For a maximum reduction of odours, we advise you to:
- Change the oil or fat regularly (after being used 8 times maximum).
- Close the lid by pushing on its centre and front parts during preheating
and cooling of the oil or fat .
- Use food oil or fat recommended for frying and respect the cooking
temperature indicated by the manufacturer.
- Except when placing and removing the basket, leave the lid
closed.
- Clean the deep fryer after each use. Azura is MAGICLEAN®(basket, lid
and bowl go in the dishwasher).
EXCLUSIVE
PERMANENT FILTERING
OF COOKING ODOURS and steam
Remove the lid
•
Open the lid.
•
Push on the release button (1) and lift the
lid upwards (2).
Clean the deep fryer
•
Clean the lid, the steam guard, the bowl
and the basket using a sponge and
washing-up liquid or in the dishwasher.
Dry.
Preparation for use
The PURE AIR
CATALYSE®is not
removable. It is
permanent.
Do not block the air
intake or the air
outlet of the
ventilation system.
Keep them clear and
clean.

Oiil/Fat quantity
Azura

Max. 2,2 l 2000 g
1 l
500 g
A safety system
prevents the deep
fryer from working
if you have not put
the bowl correctly
in place.
Never exceed the
maximum capacity.
- Cut the foods into
like-sized pieces so
that they cook
evenly,
- Avoid using pieces
that are too thick.
Never plug in the
deep fryer without
oil or fat inside.
Do not mix different
types of oil or fat.
The oil/fat level
must always be
between the Min.
and Max. markers.
Check this each
time before cooking,
and add some of the
same type of oil or
fat if necessary.
Preparation
Replacing the lid
•
To replace the lid, place it in the guide
rod until you hear the locking “click”.
Preparing the basket
•
Place the basket in position on the edge
of the bowl.
•
Dry the foods.
•
Fill the basket.
•
Reduce the quantities for frozen foods.
Cooks tips:
•
Add breaded or delicate foods, either
fresh or frozen, after the oil has
preheated.
Replacing the removable
bowl
•
Insert the bowl, with the Min./Max.
markers ( ) towards the back of the
appliance.
•
The base of the bowl must fit perfectly
onto the element.
Filling the bowl
•
Use an oil recommended for deep
frying: For best results we recommend
blended vegetable oil. For sunflower oil,
groundnut oil, or soya oil, ensure the oil
is changed after every 5 uses.
•
If you use solid vegetable fat:
- Cut it into pieces and place it at the
bottom of the bowl (never in the
basket).
- Never exceed 150° to melt it, then
follow the manufacturer’s cooking
recommendations.
•
Lard or dripping should NOT be used
under any circumstances and may
cause overflowing, smoking or risk of
fire. For traditional UK style deep fried
foods, especially chips, we do not
recommend using olive oil.

The timer signals
that the cooking
time is complete,
but does not stop
the deep fryer.
To reduce the
diffusion of odours:
- do not leave the lid
open too long.

to preheat after the
indicator light has
gone out.
Do not push on the
“rise and fall” handle,
always press first on
the handle’s locking
button.
Place the deep
fryer:
- on a steady
surface,
- out of the reach of
children,
- away from water
splashes or heat
sources.
Do not leave the
deep fryer
unattended. Do not
let the power cord
hang down.
Preparation
Lowering the basket
•
Ensure the lid is closed.
•
After the temperature indicator light goes
out, press the basket handle locking
button (1).
•
Fold back the handle slowly (gently
lowering the food into the hot oil) until
fully in its housing (2).
Setting the timer (depending on
model)
•
Press the button to set the time, minute
by minute.
•
Release the button. The time displayed
is selected and flashes while the
countdown begins.
•
If you make a mistake, or want to cancel
the time selected, press the button for
2 seconds.
•
To stop the timer alarm, press the button.
Preheat
•
Ensure the fryer has oil inside before
switching on.
•
Close the lid by pushing on its centre
and front parts.
•
Plug in the deep fryer.
•
Adjust the thermostat (see tables, p. 9).
The deep fryer and the ventilation of the
PURE AIR CATALYSE®operate, and you
will hear the sound of the catalysis filter
working.
- Shake frozen foods
to detach pieces of
ice away from the
deep fryer.
- Not all frozen foods
are ready to use.
Check the
manufacturer’s
instructions.

Cooking tables
The cooking times are given as an indication only. They may vary depending
on quantities and personal tastes.
* = These thicker foods may require turning halfway through cooking to ensure even
cooking on both sides.
Cooks tip: 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.

The oil must be
filtered regularly.
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.
Do not use any
metallic tools.
It is not necessary to
store oil in a
refrigerator.
Storing the oil
•
Turn off the fryer and wait until the oil
has completely cooled.
•
With a sieve, collect the small pieces of
food left in the oil.
•
Store the oil in the deep fryer, or store it
in an airtight container away from heat
and light sources (recommended if you
do not use the deep fryer often).
Filtering the oil
With a filter paper (available from
approved Service Centres).
•
Wait for the oil to become lukewarm.
•
Empty the oil gently into a pan.
•
Place a filter paper in the bottom of the
basket.
•
Clean inside the bowl.
•
Place the basket and filter paper into the
deep fryer (handle in the upper
position).
•
Pour the oil carefully back into the bowl,
through the filter paper.
•
Throw the filter paper away and clean
the basket.
OR
With a filtering container
maximum capacity: 2.4 l (available
from approved Service Centres).
Maintenance
Change the oil after
being used for a
maximum of 8 times.
“Clean” oil keeps
the flavour and
lightness of foods.
Changing the oil
•
Do not pour used oil into the sink. Leave
it to cool and throw it away with the
household waste.
•
If you add oil, make sure to use the
same type.
