tions for use renders the guarantee and the
manufacturer's liability null and void.
ASSEMBLING THE BASKET:
- Remove the basket and attach the handle by
pivoting until the rods engage in the housing.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
BEFORE USE:
- Make sure that all the product's packaging has
been removed.
- Before using the product for the first time, clean
the parts that will come into contact with food in
the manner described in the cleaning section.
OIL FILLING:
- Open the cover.
- Ensure that the electrical equipment is appro-
priately positioned.
- Pour oil into the tank up to the mark indicating
the MAXIMUM level.
- The appliance must not be used with less oil
than that indicated by the MINIMAL mark.
USE:
- Unroll the cable completely before plugging it in.
- Connect the appliance to the mains.
- Open the lid
- Start the appliance by turning on the speed
regulator.
- The pilot light (G) comes on.
- Select the desired frying temperature using the
thermostat control. The indicator light will turn
red, indicating that the oil is being heated.
- Prepare the food to be fried and place it in the
basket, making sure that it does not rise above
¾ of its capacity. Allow the food to drain before
placing it in the basket.
- Frozen food must be allowed for thaw before-
hand. The placing of frozen food or food with
high water content in the basket may cause the
oil to suddenly spit after a few seconds.
- Wait until the pilot light (G) has gone out which
will indicate that the appliance has reached an
adequate temperature.
- During use the pilot blue light will automatically
flash on and off, thus indicating that the heating
elements are operating in order to maintain the
desired temperature.
- Slowly place the basket in the bowl to avoid
overflowing and splashing. Depending on the
criterion, fry with the lid open or closed.
- When the food has been fried sufficiently, lift the
basket and position it in the support in order to
allow the excess oil to drain from the food.
- Empty the basket.
- Change the oil approximately every 15 or 20
frying operations, or every 5 – 6 months if not
used frequently.
- In order to minimize the generation of acryla-
mide during the frying process, avoid reaching
dark brown colours on the fried food, remove
any burnt leftovers from the oil container, food
rich in starch (such as potatoes or corns) should
be fried at temperatures lower than 170ºC.
ONCE YOU HAVE FINISHED USING THE
APPLIANCE:
- Select the minimum position (MIN) using the
thermostat control.
- Unplug the appliance from the mains.
- Close the lid.
- Clean the appliance
CARRY HANDLE/S:
- The device has a handle on the upper part so it
can be transported easily and comfortably.
PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS:
- Fry a few pieces of bread to remove the smell
of used oil.
- For food with a high water content, it is better
and quicker to fry in two lots with less food than
in just one. This will reduce the risk of splashes
and spillage.
- This will reduce the risk of splashes and spilla-
ge. This system consists of first frying the food
until it is reasonably well done and then frying
again using very hot oil to brown the food.
- Olive oil with a minimum acidity level is recom-
mendable for frying.
- Do not mix different oils.
- Wash potatoes before frying to stop them from
sticking.
CLEANING:
- Disconnect the appliance from the mains and let
it cool before undertaking any cleaning task.
- Dismantle the appliance as follows:
• Take off the lid
• Remove the basket
• Carefully pour the used oil from the bowl
