Lowering the basket
• When the oil has reached the correct temperature, the temperature light goes out.
• Press the handle unlocking button and fold the handle very slowly into its housing
to lower the basket into the oil –
may cause it to overflow.

For models with a timer, press on the timer button to set the time minute by minute.
Release the button. The selected time is displayed and the countdown starts.
During cooking, it is normal for the temperature light to cycle on and off.
The timer (depending on
model) signals the end of the
cooking time, but does not
stop the appliance.
For crispy fried food, open
the lid as soon as you have
finished cooking to prevent
steam from softening the
food.

• Unplug the deep fryer.
• When you have finished frying, move the thermostat down to the Off setting

"O/I" - .
• Allow the oil to cool completely in the fryer (2 to 3 hours).
• Move the fryer using the carrying handles.
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 immediately.

Cooking tips: For best results, use the traditional French method of frying homemade
French fries:
- first frying at 160°C / 320°F
- second frying at 190°C / 374°F

sticking to it and use tongs to slowly lower the food into the hot oil.
