4. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

• We recommend that you use vegetable
oil suitable for frying at high
temperatures. You can also use liquid or
solid fat. If you use solid fat, take the
necessary precautions to prevent the
element from overheating (see 'Using
with solid fat').
• Do not use the fryer with too little oil/fat or
with no oil/fat. The oil/fat level should be
between the minimum and maximum
marks indicated on the pan (5). Before
switching the fryer on, make sure the oil
level is correct.
5. USING WITH SOLID FAT
If you use solid fat for frying, make sure you
take the following precautions:
• Melt the fat in a pan over a low heat.
• Carefully pour the melted fat into the
fryer, taking care not to exceed the MAX
level mark.
• See 'Instructions for use'.
• If you are going to use the solid fat left
over in the fryer from earlier cooking
operations, make several holes in it
using a fork.
• Next, set the thermostat (6) to 160º,
leave to heat for a minute and then
return the thermostat to '0'. Repeat this
operation at intervals of various minutes,
until the fat has melted completely.
6. BEFORE USING FOR
THE FIRST TIME
• Remove the basket (4) and place the
handle (3) in its working position (Fig. 2).
To do so, press the handle and insert it
into its housing (Fig. 2)
• Remove all packaging material from
inside the pan.
Clean the basket and pan with soapy water.
Rinse and dry well before reassembling
(See the section entitled 'Cleaning'). DO
NOT IMMERSE THE FRYER IN WATER.
