the MINIMAL mark.
Use:
- Connect the appliance to the mains.
- The pilot light comes on.
- Select the desired frying temperatu-
re using the thermostat control. The
indicator light will turn on, indicating
that the oil is being heated (close the
lid to save energy).
- Prepare the food to be fried and
place it in the basket, making sure
that it does not rise above ¾ of its
capacity. Allow the food to drain
before placing it in the basket.
- Frozen food must be allowed for
thaw beforehand. The placing of
frozen food or food with high water
content in the basket may cause
the oil to suddenly spit after a few
seconds.
- Wait until the pilot light has gone
out which will indicate that the
appliance has reached an adequate
temperature.
- Slowly place the basket in the bowl
to avoid overflowing and splashing.
Fry with the lid open or closed, as
required.
- When the food has been fried suffi-
ciently, lift the basket and position
it in the support in order to allow
the excess oil to drain from the food
(Fig. 3)
- Empty the basket.
- Change the oil approximately every
15 or 20 frying operations, or every 5
– 6 months if not used frequently.
- In order to minimize the genera-
tion of acrilamida during the frying
process, avoid to reach dark brown
colours on the fried food, remove any

Practical recommendations:
- Fry a few pieces of bread to remove
the smell of used oil.
- For food with high water content, it
is better and quicker to fry in two lots
with less food than in just one. This
will reduce the risk of splashes and
spillage.
- The "two-stage frying method"
can be used for an even and crispy
coating. This system consists of first
frying the food until it is reasonably
well done and then frying again using
very hot oil to brown the food.
- Olive oil with a minimum acidity
level is recommendable for frying.
- Do not mix different oils.
- Wash potatoes before frying to stop
them from sticking
