FILLING WITH OIL OR FAT
• Hook the handle as shown in fig. 10. Be carefull to fix well the handle with the basket.
• Turn the folding handle of the basket until it locks into place (pos. 2, Fig. 2). Remove the basket (I) by lif-
ting it upwards.
• Before pouring the oil, make sure that the oil drain tap (Q) is well-shut.
• If oil is used, pour it into the bowl (K) until reaching the maximum level indicated (see fig. 3). Never
exceed this limit, as oil may overflow from the container. The level of oil must always be between the maxi-
mum and minimum limits (L). For best results, use good quality peanut oil.
PREHEATING
• Place the food to be fried in the basket (I), without exceeding the maximum level indicated on the basket
(fig. 6). Check that the handle of the basket is correctly positioned (pos. 2 in Fig. 2).
• Connect to the mains supply. Both lights (E) and (F) come on.
PROGRAMMING THE DEEP FRYER
Use the "-/+" buttons (B) to set the temperature from 248°F to 374°F (120°C to 190°C).
Pressing the button once increases or decreases the temperature by 41°F (5°C).
Use the MODE (C) button to access the temperature or time settings.
Use the "-/+" buttons (B) to adjust cooking time from 0 to 60 minutes. Pressing the button once increases or
decreases time by 30 seconds. After setting the temperature and time, press the START/STOP button (D) (if
the time has not been set, the deep fryer will not begin the heating process). The deep fryer begins the hea-
ting process. The red light (E) comes on. During this process, you can still modify temperature and cooking
time using the "-/+" buttons (B) and the MODE (C) button to modify the selection.
When the appliance reaches the set temperature, the green light (F) comes on and the deep fryer emits two
"beeps".
STARTING FRYING
• As soon as the green indicator light (F) comes on, lower the basket (I) into the oil very slowly to avoid the
hot oil splashing or overflowing.
• Close the cover.
• Press the START/STOP button (D). The display (A) shows a countdown of the remaining cooking time.
During this process, you can still modify temperature and cooking time using the "-/+" buttons (B) and
the MODE (C) button.
At the end of the countdown the deep fryer emits three beeps. Lights (E) and (F) go off. The temperatu-
re returns to the value set previously. If the START/STOP button (D) is not pressed, the appliance does not
begin the countdown and after 30 minutes the preset settings are restored.
• A significant amount of steam will be released. This is completely normal.
• It is normal for steam to be given off from the cover and condensation to drip from the edge of the cover.
• To avoid burns, never put your hands above the cover filter or deep fryer itself while in use. Before ope-
ning the cover, lift it slightly to allow steam to escape from one side.
END OF FRYING
• At the end of the cooking time, the deep fryer emits three "beeps". Lift the basket (I) and check that the
food has been cooked to the required colour.
• Unplug from the outlet:
• Drain excess oil by hooking the basket (I) to the support (M) on the bowl.
• Note: If cooking requires two phases or more than one cooking cycle is to be performed, at the end of
the first phase, hook the basket (I) to the support on the bowl (M) and wait for the light to go out. Then
slowly lower the basket (I) into the oil again.
