Foreword
Before you start up the unit, thoroughly wash the tank and the baskets, operating as follows :
- Fill up the tank to level with water and detergent, switch on the heating and bring to boiling point for a few minutes, drain
the water through the drain tap and thoroughly rinse the tank with clean water.
- If you use fat for frying, do not place it in the tank unless it is in a liquid state.
- During usage, we recommend not to cover the tank or put salt or spices into it.
- Never switch on the unit before you have filled the tank with oil. Non-compliance with this rules would cause serious
damage due to overheating at tank base.
FILLING IN THE TANK (Fig. 9)
Make sure the drain tap is closed, then pour oil into the tank to reach the MIN. Mark, and anyway not beyond the MAX . mark.
See Technical Data Tables 1.1S,1.1B for tank capacity.
FILLING IN THE BASKET
The quantity of food to be placed into the basket depends on how you wish to cook it. On dipping it into the oil, you should
avoid a sudden drop in oil temperature, in any case preventing its dropping below 160°C.
Small bits of food cooked for the right length of time are actually better than a big chunk to be cooked for a longer period.
