shows visible damage or does not work properly. In the event of the above, the appliance must
be sent to an approved Service Centre. Do not take the appliance apart yourself.
• Always plug the appliance into an earthed socket.
• 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.
• If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, an authorised
service centre or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid any danger.
• Do not leave the cord hanging.
• Do not unplug the appliance by pulling on the cord.
• Always unplug the appliance: immediately after use, when moving it, prior to any cleaning or
maintenance.
Using
• Use a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface, away from any water splashes and other heat sources.
• Do not place on an oven hob/cooker top.
• Never leave the appliance within reach of children without supervision.
• This electrical equipment operates at high temperatures which may cause burns. Do not touch
the apparent metal parts, filter or window….
• Do not switch on the appliance near to flammable materials (blinds, curtains….) or close to an
external heat source (gas stove, hot plate etc.).
• In the event of fire, never try to extinguish the flames with water. Close the lid. Smother the flames

• Store your fryer in a cool and dry place.
Cooking
• Never plug in the deep fat fryer without oil or fat inside. The oil level must always be between the
min and max markers.
• If you use solid vegetable fat, cut it into pieces and melt it over a low heat in a separate pan
beforehand, then slowly pour it into the deep fryer bowl. Never put solid fat directly into the deep
fryer bowl or fryer basket as this will lead to deterioration of the appliance.
• Do not mix different types of oil.
• Do not over fill the basket, never exceed the maximum capacity.
Recommendations
• Limit the cooking temperature to 190°C, especially for potatoes.
• Use the basket for chips.
• Control the cooking: Do not eat burnt food.
• Filter your oil after every use to avoid burnt crumbs and change to avoid burnt crumbs and
change it regularly.
• Eat a balanced and varied diet which includes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
• Store your fresh potatoes in a room above 8°C.
• For crisp results and fast cooking, we recommend that you limit the quantity of chips to 1/2
basket per frying.
• For a larger quantity of food or potatoes, the temperature drops very fast just after having lowered
the basket. While cooking, the temperature never reaches above 175°C even if the thermostat is
set at the 190°C (Stabilized Temperature before lowering).

Filtration, drainage and automatic storage of oil/fat
Your fryer is fitted with an exclusive and patented system for filtration and
automatic drainage, suitable for most types of oils and fats used for cooking.
G The drainage of oil is completely automatic and safe.
G The automatic patented filtration system ensures your oil/fat stays clean and
lasts longer for healthier frying. No crumbs guarantees less odours.
G The OIL BOX container enables you to store your oil or fat and keep it until you
next want to use it and avoid any transfer of flavours.
Ultra easy cleaning
Your fryer is easy to handle and to dismantle.
G All the parts (except the electrical control unit) are dishwasher safe.
G Thanks to the patented automatic filtration and oil storage system, some parts
of your fryer can go into the dishwasher after each use.
Clean as new after each use.

Preparing the fryer
• Fill the bowl with oil.
The oil level should always be between the Min. and Max.
level of the bowl.
Do not exceed the maximum fill line as boiling oil may
overflow during frying and can cause severe burnings.
• 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.
Follow the manufacturer's cooking recommendations.
• If you use solid vegetable fat: cut it into small pieces, melt
it in a separate pan then pour the melted fat into the fryer
bowl.
Be sure that the
oil level is
between the Min.
and Max. level of
the bowl
otherwise the
safety cut-out will
activate
(see page 5).
!
Never use
different types of
oil at the same
time as this may
cause the oil to
overflow.
!
Never melt the fat
on the heating
element or in the
frying basket.
If you melt the fat
on the heating
element or in the
frying basket, the
safety cut-out
would be
activated
(see page 5).

Frying process
• Place the Oil Box control button on the Fry position.
• After the bowl has been filled with oil, plug in the fryer
without the frying basket ; the Power indicator light will
come on.
• Press until the 00 lights on. The temperature is auto-
matically set on 190°C. You can adjust the temperature
from 160° to 190°C by pressing by impulse.
• The fryer is heating.
• Place food in the basket without overfilling. Notice the
Max. food level marking on the basket. Reduce the
quantities for frozen foods.
• After the Ready light switches on, press the timer
touchpad to set the time minute by minute. Release.
The selected time (in minutes) is displayed and the
countdown starts. In case of mistake or to delete the
selected time, hold the touchpad down for 2 seconds.
• Place and lower the basket slowly into the frying oil.
Plunging the basket too rapidly in the oil may cause it to
overflow.
No matter what the
recipe, food must
be dried thoroughly
before frying. This
will prevent the oil
overflowing and
extend the life of
the oil.
!
Do not plug in the
fryer without oil.

• Put the lid on the fryer.
Frying is complete when the cooking time has elapsed
and food is of the desired colour and texture.
To stop the signal, press on the touchpad .
• Remove the lid.
Allow excess oil to drain by hooking the basket on the
support on the inner bowl.
• Serve.
• Unplug the appliance and let it cool for about 3 hours.
For filtering and draining the oil or fat, see the chapter on
Maintenance.
Cooking tables
The cooking times and temperatures are only a guide, they may require
adjustment depending on quantities and personal taste.
Chips are fried in two stages to ensure crisp results. First stage is at 160°C, then increase
temperature to 190°C and when the ready light switches on fry the chips for a second
time.
Cooks tip: When cooking battered food and doughnuts, remove the wire basket to prevent food sticking to it. Use metal tongs and gradually place the food in the hot oil, submerging it slowly to prevent it from sinking straight away.
Do not touch the
fryer when it is in
use as it will be
extremely hot and
can cause severe
burns. Steam
coming from the
filter is also
extremely hot.
