Oil to use
•Fill the bowl with oil.
• 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 melt it in the
bowl at 150°C,
- never melt solid fat in the basket.
•Follow the manufacturer’s cooking
recommendations.
•You have the possibility of frying your
food with 0.5 litres of fat/oil to 2.2 litre
of fat/oil depending on type of food (see
cooking tables p. 9).
•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.
Do not mix different
types of fat/oil.
Adjust the oil level
depending on type
of food. Do not
exceed the quantity
corresponding to
the marks 2.2 l .
Never use less than
0.5 l.
Do not use the
basket if you use
less than 1.2 l.
Preheating
• Close the lid.
•Plug in the fryer.
• Set the thermostat according to the food
you are frying (see cooking tables p. 9)
• The fryer heats up and the temperature
light comes on.
Never plug in the
deep fryer without
oil/fat inside.

Preparation for use
Preparing food for frying
•Lift the handle on the basket until you
hear a click as it locks into place.
• Remove excess moisture (water and
ice) from the food.
• 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 remove the
starch. This will stop them from sticking
together. Dry them carefully and
thoroughly with paper kitchen towel.
Before frying, remove any ice crystals
on the food by shaking the basket of
food to be fried over the sink.
•Fill the basket.
•Reduce food quantity for frozen food.
Lowering the basket
•Put the basket in place on the edge of
the bowl and leave the handle in the
horizontal position.
•When the oil has reached the right
temperature, the light goes out.
•Close the lid and press the handle
unlocking button.
•Fold the handle very slowly into its
housing to lower the basket into the oil.
The timer does not
switch off the
fryer.
Set the cooking time
(depending on model)
•Press on the timer button to set the time
minute by minute.
• Release. The selected time (in minutes)
is displayed and the countdown starts.
•In case of a mistake or to delete the
selected time, hold the button down for
2 seconds.
•To stop the timer ringing signal, press
on the button.
Remove excess ice
from frozen food
before frying by
shaking the basket
of food to be fried
over the sink.
Cut food to the same
size so that it cooks
evenly. Avoid using
pieces that are too
thick.
Fresh chips Frozen chips
Maximum quantity 1000 g 900 g
Recommended max quantity 625 g 450 g
Keep out of reach
of children.

Cooking times
The cooking times and the quantities of oil are only a guide,
they may vary depending on quantities, size of pieces and
personal taste.
We recommend that you:
- limit the quantity and the temperature at 170°C especially for potatoes,
- use the basket for french fries,
- control the cooking : only eat golden brown fried food not burnt food,
- filter the oil after every use to avoid burnt crumbs and change it regularly,
- have a balanced and varied diet which includes 5 portions of fruit and vegetables daily,
- store your fresh potatoes in a room above 8°C.
For good quality and fast cooking, we recommend that you limit the quantity of chips to 1/2 a basket per fry.
For a larger quantity of food or potatoes, the temperature drops very fast just after lowering the basket. While
cooking, this temperature does not rise above 175°C even if the thermostat is at the 190°C (= Stabilized
Temperature before lowering).

Cooks tips: 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
into the hot oil, submerging it an inch at a time to prevent it from sinking straight away.

Draining the oil
For your safety, the appliance
automatically drains all kinds of fat (oil or
solid fat).
• Once frying is finished, leave the oil to
cool for approximately 2 hours.
• Remove the OIL BOX lid.
•Take the fryer off its electrical base.
•Place the fryer on the OIL BOX ensuring
it is positioned on the draining pin. The
filtration may take one hour to
complete.
Maintenance

Make sure that the
oil container is
empty before
draining the fryer.
If you use solid fat,
do not wait for it
to go solid before
putting the fryer
on the OIL BOX.
Never put your
hand under the
fryer or on the
base, they are both
still very hot.
It is important to
drain/filter the oil
after each use.
Crumbs that break
away from food
tend to burn and
alter the quality of
the oil more
rapidly. Over time
this increases the
risk of catching
fire.
Storing the container of oil
•Take the fryer off the OIL BOX after
making sure the fryer is empty.
Oil is filtered and ready to reuse.
• Replace the lid on the OIL BOX.
• Carry the container with both hands.
•Store it in a cool dry place away from
the light.

Cleaning the fryer
Clean as new after each use.
The fryer is very easy to clean.
•You can put all the parts in the
dishwasher except the electrical base
and power cord.
You can also clean them using a
sponge and washing-up liquid.
•For a more efficient odour filtration, we
recommed that you remove the antiodour filter from the lid and wash it.
•After cleaning, press on the red button
under the fryer to release any water in
the bowl.
•Clean the electrical base regularly with
a damp cloth. You may find some oil
drops in the centre of the electrical
base. This is normal.
• The fryer is fitted with a non-stick
coated bowl :
The browning and scratches which
may appear after long use are normal.
We guarantee that the non-stick
coating complies with regulations
concerning materials in contact with
foodstuffs.
•Take care not to bang or drop the bowl
which can distort it.
• Do not distort the connection ends
under the bowl.
• Do not try to dismantle the fixed oil
filter grid.
Maintenance
Do not use
agressive or
abrasive products.
Do not put the
electrical base and
its cord in the
dishwasher or
immerse them in
the water.
To retain the nonstick qualities for
as long as
possible, do not
use metal utensils.
Before filling the
fryer bowl, always
check to ensure
the red button
under the fryer is
in the right
position.
