3. OPERATION

Fig. 2

1. Remove the lid and take out the frying basket.
2. Pour oil into the bowl up to the maximum mark.

Note:

• We recommend using olive oil, corn oil, peanut oil or vegetable oil. Do not use margarine or butter.
• Do not plug the appliance into the mains supply if there is no oil in the bowl.

• It is important not to place the lid on while the fryer is in operation.

• Plug the fryer into the mains supply. Turn the temperature knob to the desired setting.

• When the oil reaches the desired temperature, the green indicator light will turn off (do not add food until the oil has reached the selected temperature). The green indicator light will illuminate again when food is placed in the oil and will turn off once more when the oil returns to the selected temperature.

• Hook the basket onto the bowl rim (make sure the handle is properly fitted and dry).

• Place food in the basket (food items should be as dry as possible).

• Carefully lower the basket into the hot oil (oil may splutter when frying food).

• When the food is ready, lift the basket and hook it onto the bowl rim. Let the food drain excess oil. Fig. 3

• Turn the temperature knob off and unplug the fryer. Allow it to cool down for at least 2-3

hours before moving or cleaning it.

1. Transfer fried food to a plate lined with kitchen paper to remove excess oil.

The times and temperatures in the following table serve as a guide and should be adjusted according to quantity, thickness of food items and personal preference.

Food item	Weight	Temperature	Time
Fresh chips	800 g	190 °C	10-12 min
Frozen chips	800 g	190 °C	10 min
Frozen breaded prawns	Until the basket is covered	170 °C	3-5 min
Fresh battered fish	150 g	190 °C	5-10 min
Frozen battered fish	150 g	170 °C	10-15 min
Small pieces of breaded chicken	150 g	170 °C	15-20 min
Large pieces of breaded chicken	150 g	190 °C	20-30 min
Fresh breaded chicken drumsticks	2 or 3	170 °C	15 min
Fresh beef burgers	250 g	170 °C	2-3 min

Chicken or beef burgers may taint the oil and leave an unwanted flavour when frying other food items.

Homemade battered food

Please note that placing wet batter in the basket before lowering it into the oil may cause food to stick to the metal.

Tips:

• Using tongs, slowly lower battered food items into the oil.
• Oil may splutter when frying food. When cooked, remove food using the basket.
• The fryer has a safety thermostat that switches the fryer off in case of overheating. This may happen if there is not enough oil in the bowl.
• Do not overload the basket, as it may cause a drop in the temperature of the oil that may leave the food greasy or undercooked.
• The fryer will always be ready to use if it is stored with cooled and filtered oil inside, and the lid in place.

ENGLISH

• When storing your fryer with oil inside, remove the basket handle and store it separately.
• Cook your food thoroughly. Remember that food may start to turn golden brown before it has been completely cooked.
• Choose cooking utensils carefully. Do not use utensils that may melt. Metal utensils become hot and should have insulated handles.
• When using metal utensils, take care not to damage the heating element.
• Your fryer has a maximum capacity for food of 800 g. This depends on food type (see the table above for more information). Do not fill more than half of the frying basket.
• Avoid draining food too long in the frying basket, as it may become soft and loose its crispness.
• Change the oil when it becomes brown or milky.
• If there are water droplets on the base of the enamelled bowl, the oil should be changed. Change the oil in your appliance after approximately 15 uses.
• All food items, particularly frozen food and potatoes, contain moisture. When lowered into the hot oil, the water in the food turns to steam and escapes.
• Take into account the food to be cooked before selecting the frying temperature. As a general guide, pre-cooked food needs a higher cooking temperature than raw food.

4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Make sure the fryer is cool and unplugged from the mains before cleaning.

1. Remove the lid, control panel, frying basket, filter and bowl.
2. Pour out the oil in the bowl through fine muslin or absorbent paper placed over a funnel into a suitable container.
3. Wash the lid, frying basket, filter and bowl by hand using hot, soapy water. The basket is dishwasher safe. Take it out of the dishwasher as soon as possible and dry it thoroughly.
4. Wipe the control panel with a damp cloth and/or kitchen paper.

Warning

• Do not immerse the control panel in water.
• Make sure the wires connected to the heating element are not damaged while cleaning.
• Dry all parts of your fryer thoroughly and place the bowl, control panel, frying basket, and lid back in place. When placing the bowl, make sure it is placed correctly, with the "Max/Min" marks on the right side.
• You may keep oil in the fryer if you make sure that the lid is properly closed.

Regular cleaning of the oil with the OilCleaner filter

Use the OilCleaner filter to clean the oil and the fryer easily. The remainders from the

foodstuffs will sink when the oil cools down. If you use the filter, you will be able to remove the remainders, keeping the oil clean longer and minimising the appearance of undesired flavours.

Note:

Wait until the oil and the heating element are completely cold before proceeding as follows:

1. Unplug the fryer, remove the lid and the frying basket, and clean them separately.
2. Remove the heating element raising it carefully to prevent the oil from overflowing.
3. Separate the OilCleaner filter from the heating element. Fig. 4
4. Clean filter with hot water and soap and dry it.
5. Attach the OilCleaner filter to the heating element, sliding it in the opposite direction.
6. Put the heating element with the OilCleaner filter in the fryer. Ready to use.
