"OIL COUNTER" FUNCTION
This function monitors the length of time the oil has been used and automatically indicates when it should be
replaced. After about 5 hours of operation, "
tent message is displayed at three minute intervals.
Replace the oil and reset the device by holding the "counter reset" button (G) down for at least 3 seconds.
When the appliance is reset, it emits a beep.
The appliance is now ready for the new oil countdown.
N.B.:
OIL
• When " " is displayed, this does not prevent normal operation of the appliance.
• The life of the oil depends on what foods are being fried. For example, coating with breadcrumbs acce-
lerates deterioration of the frying oil. In this case, you are recommended to replace it before "
displayed and the appliance emits a beep.
• Use of the Lard Function automatically resets the oil counter.
LARD FUNCTION
This function is useful when you want to use lard instead of oil.
• Before pouring the oil, make sure that the oil drain tap (Q) is well-shut.
• Cut the lard into pieces and place them directly in the bowl (K).
You are recommended to use the following quantities: MIN 7.7 lb (3500 g); MAX 5 lb (2300 g).
• Set the required temperature and cooking time, then press the button (G). "LF" appears on the display
and the deep fryer starts melting the fat and bringing it to a temperature of 284°F (140°C). After about
15 minutes, the lard will be completely melted.
• The temperature now rises to the level set previously.
• As soon as the green light (F) comes on, lower the basket (I) into the melted fat very slowly to avoid it
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 temperature
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.
• During frying, it is normal for steam to escape from the cover and condensate to drip from the edge.
• 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.
N.B.: Use of the "lard function" automatically resets the oil counter
HOW LONG THE OIL OR FAT LASTS
The level of oil or fat must never fall below the minimum. Every now and then it must be completely changed.
The life of the oil or fat depends on what foods are being fried. Food coated in breadcrumbs, for example,
dirties the oil more than simple frying. As with any deep fryer, the oil or fat deteriorates after being heated
a number of times! Therefore, even if used correctly, it should be completely changed on a regular basis.
FRYING NON-FROZEN FOOD
Never overfill the basket, as this may cause a sudden drop in the temperature of the oil and thus greasier
and less uniform frying. Check that the food is sliced into thin, even pieces. If the slices are too thick, the food
will not be well cooked inside, despite its appearance, while even slices will be perfectly cooked at the same
