THERMAL SAFETY DEVICE The appliance is fited with a thermal safety device that stops the appliance from heating in the event of incorrect use or irregular operation. Once the appliance has cooled, using a toothpick or similar, delicately press the safety devi- ce reset button (Z) marked RESET (see Fig. 1}. Ifthe appliance does not start operating again, contact a service cen- tre authorised by the manufacturer.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Before using the deep fryer for the first time, carefully clean, using warm water and dishwashing detergent, the

basket, the bowl and the cover. The control unit, power cable and heating element may be cleaned using a damp cloth. Check that water does not enter into the control unit and that there is no residual water in the bottom of the removable bowl. Carelully dry all the parts.

Check that the control unit is properly fastened to the deep fryer body. The safety micro-switch (D) will prevent the appliance from operating unless the control unit [U) is correcily positioned (N).

FILLING WITH OIL OR FAT e__ Turn the folding handle of the basket until it locks into place (pos. 2, Fig. 2). Remove the basket (S) by lifting it upwards.

e_ lFoil is used, pour it into the bowl [R] until reaching the maximum level indicated (see Fig. 4). Never exceed this limit, as oil may overflow from the container. The level of oil must always be between the maximum and mini- mum limits (F). For best results, use good quality peanut oil.

e_IFlumps of fat are used, cut the lumps into pieces and melt them in another container, then pour the liquefied fat into the deep fryer bowl. Never melt the fat in the basket or on the deep fryer heating element (see Fig. 5).

e_ Place the food to be fried in the basket (S), without exceeding the maximum level indicated on the basket (fig. 9). Check that the handle of the basket is correctly positioned (pos. 2 in Fig. 2).

Connect to the mains supply. Both lights (B) and (C} come on.

Move the thermostat knob (A) (see fig. 6) to the required temperature (see cooking table}, the oil temperature light (green) (C) comes off.

When the set temperature is reached, the green light (C) comes on.

FRYING As soon as light (C) comes on, lower the basket (S) into the oil very slowly to avoid the hot oil splashing or over- flowing.

°__A significant amount of steam will be released: this is completely normal.

When the set cooking time has elapsed, lift the basket (S) and check that the food has been cooked to the requi- red colour.

e__ lFthe food is completely cooked, turn the appliance off by moving the thermostat knob [A] to the “position.

e_ Unplug from the mains socket.

e__ Allow the excess oil to drain by hooking the basket “M” onto the support “E” on the bowl.

°__NLB. To cook more than one batch of food, wait until the green light comes on, indicating that the oil is again at the set temperature. Then slowly place the basket (S) in the oil a second time.

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 for any deep fryer, the oil 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. lFthe 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 time. Carefully dry the food before immersing it in the oil or fat, to avoid oil being sprayed; furthermore, wet food will be less crisp after cooking [especially potatoes).

Foods with a high water content (fish, meat, vegetables) should be crumbed before frying, making sure the excess flour or breadcrumbs are removed before immersing the food in the oil.

When cooking food in batter, you should first immerse the basket empty. Then, when the set temperature has

been reached, immerse the food directly in the hot oil to avoid the baïter sticking to the basket. When referring to the following table, please keep in mind that the cooking times and temperatures are approximate, and must be adjusted according to the quantity of food and personal tastes.

Food Temperature (°C) Time (minutes) Fresh potato chips full portion 170° 11-15 Fish Calamari 140° 9-13 Canestrelli 140° 10-14 Sardines 140° 10-14 Prawns 140° 8-12 Tongue-fish 140° 6-10 Meat Pork cutlets 160° 8-12 Chicken cutlets 160° 9-13 Meaiballs 160° 9-13 Vegetables Artichokes 150° 13-18 Cauliflower 150° 10-14 Mushrooms 150° 8-12 Aubergines 150° 9-13 Courgettes 150° 13-18

FRYING FROZEN FOODS Frozen foods are stored at very low temperatures. Consequently, they significantly lower the temperature of the liquid used for cooking. For optimum results, do not overfill the basket.

Frozen foodfs are often covered with a layer of ice; this ice should be removed before cooking. Immerse the basket in the oil very slowly to prevent the oil from boiling over.

The cooking times are approximate and must be adjusted according to the initial temperature of the food being fried and the temperatures indicated on the packaging of the food.

Food Temperature (°C) Time (minutes) Pre-cooked frozen potato chips 190° 10-14 Potato croquettes 180° 7-10 Fish Fish-fingers 180° 3-6 Fish filets 180° 2-5 Meat Chicken cuilets 180° 3-6

MODELS WITH ELECTRONIC TIMER

1. Set the cooking time by pressing the button [1]. The minutes set appear on the display (H).

2. Immediately afterwards, the numbers begin to flash. This means the cooking time has begun. The last minute is displayed in seconds.

3. you make a mistake, you can set the new cooking time by holding the button down for more than two seconds. When the display has reset, repeat the operation.

4. The timer indicates the end of cooking time with two series of “beeps” separated by a 20 second gap.To turn off the signal, just press the timer button (I).

IF the appliance is to be replaced or thrown away, the battery must be removed and disposed of in accor-

dance with current laws as it represents an environmental hazard.

IMPORTANT: the timer does not turn the appliance off

MODELS FITTED WITH OIL DRAIN TAP CAUTION!I To avoid getting burnt do not drain oil when oil is hot.

1. Remove the basket.

2. Open the cover (J).

3. Open the tap (K] by turning it anticlockwise.

4. Run the liquid into a container (see the figure below), making sure it doesn't overflow.

5. Remove any deposits form the bowl using a sponge or tissue paper.

6. Close the tap by turning it clockwise.

7. Close the cover (J). It is a good idea to keep the oil used to fry fish sepa- rate from that used to fry other food. If lard or fat is used, make sure it does not cool down too much, otherwise it will solidify.

CLEANING Before cleaning, make sure that the power plug is disconnected.

Never immerse the deep fryer in water and never place it under running tap water (see Fig. 7]. The infiltration of water into the control unit may cause electrocution. Check that the oil has cooled down, and then remove the con- trol unit and drain the oil. Remove the deposits from the bowl using a sponge or absorbent paper.

Except for the control unit, power cable and heating element, all the other parts can be cleaned with warm water and dishwashing detergent (see Fig. 8). Never use abrasive sponges, to avoid damaging the deep fryer.

When this procedure has been completed, carefully dry all parts, to prevent hot oil from spraying out during operation.
