INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

• Before use, clean the basket (D), lid (F) and container (I) using a cloth with hot water and a mild detergent. Wipe the heating element on the power unit (B) clean with a damp cloth.  Dry thor-oughly, making sure that no parts have any water residues.

• Insert the tank (I) into the appliance body (H), positioning the part with the references “MIN” (2 litres) and “MAX” (2.5 litres) so that it is at the back (Fig. 2).

  

• Position the power unit (B) in its housing inside the appliance body (H) so that the tabs slide into the relevant slots; press the unit down gently until it is locked into place (M) (Fig. 3).

  

• Fill the tank (I) with cooking oil, making sure that the oil level is between the “MIN” and “MAX” references.
• NOTE: Only use olive, corn or peanut oil, or a good quality lard.  Never mix different types of oil or lard together or use butter or margarine, as this could cause smoke and also overspill from the appli-ance.  If using lard, melt it beforehand over a low flame and in a different container and then pour it into the tank (I) in the fryer. Never melt fat directly inside the tank (I).

• Fit the handle (C) to the basket (D), inserting the two handle pins into the housing on the basket (Fig. 4).

  

• Immerse the basket (D) into the oil, resting the handle (C) on the appliance body (H) and then cover with the lid (F) (Fig. 5), using the relevant handgrip (G) and resting the slots over the handle (Fig. 6).

  

• Plug the appliance into the mains power. The On/Off light (M) will switch on.
• Set the required temperature according to the food being fried, using the special selector dial (A). The temperature light (L) will switch on.
• When the oil reaches the correct temperature and it is ready for frying, the temperature light (L) will switch off.  The light may switch on and off during use to indicate that the fryer is maintaining the correct temperature.

• Remove the lid (F) using the special handgrip (G) and take out the basket (D), resting it on the edge of the appliance body (H) with the relevant hook (Fig. 7).

  

• Place the food for frying inside the basket (D) without overloading it and referring to the table below.  Lower the basket and close the lid (F) as described previously.
• Look at the cooking time, which varies according to the food, in the table on the appliance body. Always check the cooking through the viewing window (E) on the lid (F).
• When the food is cooked, move the temperature selector (A) to “0”, unplug the appliance from the mains power and repeat the steps described above to raise the basket (D). Leave the oil to drain into the tank (I) before taking out the fried food.

IMPORTANT 

• Before using the appliance, always make sure that all parts have been correctly assembled.
• Dry off any excessively wet foods before immersing them in the oil.  Remove any excess ice from frozen foods before immersing them in oil by tapping the basket (D) on a sink bowl.  Ice and/or water can cause boiling oil to splash.
• Take care not to come into contact with boiling oil.

CARING FOR YOUR APPLIANCE

Before removing the parts from the appliance for cleaning, switch off the appliance, unplug it from the mains power and wait for the oil inside it to cool down.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR USE

CHOICE AND DURATION OF FATS

• We recommend using oil or fat that is able to withstand high temperatures.
• The fat must never be below the “MIN” level.  If this happens while cooking, then top up with more.
• Filter the oil, when it is cold, after each use.
• The duration of the oil depends on its quality and on how often it is used.  Coated foods, for exam-ple, make the oil dirtier than plain foods do.
• Oil that has been heated and reheated will deteriorate and therefore, we recommend replacing it completely on a frequent basis.  Replace it if it smells unpleasant, if it gives off smoke when hot or when it is dark in colour.

THE RIGHT WAY TO FRY

• Cut foods into small pieces of the same size, so that they cook evenly.
• Dry foods perfectly.  This will prevent oil spillage as well as helping oil to last longer.
• Coat water-rich foods with breadcrumbs or flour, making sure to shake off any excess before add-ing the foods to the fryer.
• Rinse potatoes in cold water and dry thoroughly before frying.  This removes starch and prevents potatoes from sticking together while cooking.
• Drain any excess batter from coated foods before frying.
• Do not overfill the basket and if possible, fry half of the maximum recommended amount (see table below), otherwise the oil temperature will drop suddenly, making the foods very greasy.
• Fry foods at the right temperature (see table below).  If too low, the food will absorb the oil and if too high, it will burn on the outside and remain uncooked in the centre.
• Only immerse foods when the oil has reached the right temperature.
• Do not leave fried foods to drain for too long as the steam from the fryer will make them lose their crispness.
• Only add salt to fried foods just before serving.  Salt softens the outer coating.

Cooking times and temperatures are intended as a guide.  They will vary according to the amount of food and to personal taste.  For frozen foods, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
