Installation

GB
All the operations relating to the installation (electrical
connection) must be carried out by qualified personnel
according to the regulations in force.
Use (Fig.1)
The apparatus is switched on by turning the control knob
on the front that allows a temperature to be set from 40 to
200 °C.
A signal light comes on to show that the resistance is
operating, and when it goes off it shows that it has reached
the required temperature.
A second (general) light always stays on when the
apparatus is operating. The fryer is equipped with a
thermostat that constantly maintains the temperature of
the oil bath. Furthermore, a safety thermostat automatically
goes into operation in case of faulty working of the main
thermostat, preventing the oil from reaching too high a
temperature, about 220 °C.
The use of this equipment is very simple, however, to
obtain the best results, it is advisable to follow these
instructions:
- before putting oil in for the first time, carefully clean the
steel parts and the resistance, so as to remove any
residue left from manufacture.
- Never turn on the apparatus with the resistance turned
out of the bowl.
- Never turn on the apparatus unless there is oil in the bowl.
- Always use vegetable oil suitable for frying: we do not
recommend oil from assorted seeds or sunflower.
- The quantity of oil contained in the bowl varies from a
minimum of 2 litres to a maximum of 2,7 litres. If, during
use, the oil level should drop below the minimum, fresh
oil must be added.
It is advisable to add oil of the same type. The minimum
and maximum levels are shown by two marks cut into
the vertical side of the bowl.
- The oil can be used several times, but we recommend
4
it is filtered between one cooking and the next, so as to
eliminate deposits which can occur.
- It is best to change the oil very often, however,
because, even if it is well filtered, small residual
particles can catch fire during cooking.
- Before putting the food into the fryer, check that
is perfectly dry. Wait until the oil has reached the
required temperature.
- For frozen food, it is advisable to defrost it at a low
temperature and then fry it at high temperature.
- In preparing certain dishes (fried potatoes) you will
get the best results by precooking at a temperature of
160 °C, and then subsequently cooking at 180 °C.
- During cooking, it is often necessary to add salt or
flavourings. Avoid, if at all possible, doing this directly
into the fryer, because salt, by falling into the oil, has
its quality reduced.
- In the case of a breakdown, before calling a technician,
try resetting the safety thermostat, by pressing the
button visible, after having removed the oil bowl and
unscrewed the safety plug on the front, interior side.

Maintenance

Before doing any operation, cut off the electricity from
the apparatus.
In order to give your equipment a long life, it is vital to thoroughly
clean it all over, remembering the following points:
- the steel and/or painted parts must be cleaned using
suitable products (available on the market) which are
not abrasive or corrosive. Avoid products based on
chlorine (bleach, etc);
- avoid leaving acids or alkalis on the work surface
(vinegar, salt, lemon-juice, etc.)
