OPERATION + Before using the deep fat fryer for the first time, we recommend cleaning the vat Fig. 1 (5) and the basket Fig. 1 (6) using a damp cloth and drying them well. «Place the appliance on a horizontal, flat, stable surface away from the edges and do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of the table or work surface or to come into contact with a hot surface. + Open the lid (Fig.1) (1). - Attach the handle Fig.1 (7) to the basket Fig.1 (6). To do so, insert the ends of the handle in the basket until they are in the position shown in figure Fig. 2 + Pour the oil or liquid fat into the deep fat fryer and remember that the oil level must be above the minimum and below the maximum. These levels are indicated inside the vat. + Plug the deep fat fryer into the mains. When the temperature regulating control Fig. 1 (3) is off (0), the pilot light Fig. 1 (4) will also be off. Turn the temperature regulating control Fig. 1 (3) and select the desired temperature, depending on the food you want to fry. Next, the red pilot light Fig. 1 (4) will be lit, indicating that the deep fat fryer is heating the oil. The pilot light Fig. 1 (4) will turn off when the oil or liquid grease reaches the temperature selected. During the cooking time, the temperature pilot light will flash on and off, indicating that the thermostat is functioning and is constantly regulating the correct temperature. + During the cooking time, the pilot will flash on and off when the resistance is working to regulate the temperature. - Place the food in the basket Fig. 1 (6) while it is outside the deep fat fryer. When the heating pilot light Fig. 1 (4) switches off, gently place the basket in the deep fat fryer in the frying position Fig. 1 (8a). The food should always be covered by the oil. + Lower the lid Fig. 1(1) to prevent smoke and smells. Thus, the basket must be placed correctly, so that the handle fits inside the space on the cover. Fig. 3 «When you finish frying the food, turn the temperature regulating control Fig. 1 (3) to the off position (0). Open the lid with the use of the handle (Fig.

1) (11). Place the basket on the draining position Fig. 1 (8b) to drain the oil

from the food. + Once the food is drained, take the basket out of the deep fat fryer and empty it. Next, unplug the deep fat fryer. + When the oil is cold, place the basket inside the deep fat fryer and put the handle (11) inside. If you were using solid fat, leave it to solidify in the vat and store the deep fat fryer with the fat in it. - The basket handle has two different positions to make its use more comfort- able: - When you use the basket, press the metal rods of the handle towards the interior and move the plastic piece towards the exterior, to obtain a major length of the handle; it will be more comfortable to use. (Fig. 4a) - If you want to place the basket handle inside the oil tank, press again the rods and move the plastic piece towards the basket, (Fig.4b), to shorten the handle and allow you to close the lid of the deep fryer.

If you use solid fat for frying (when not previously used), you must take the following precautions: - Melt the pieces of new solid frying fat in a pan at a low heat. Watch over the pan at all times and keep it out of the reach of children. - Turn off the heat as soon as the fat has melted. Place the deep fat fryer in the kitchen sink and very carefully pour the melted fat into the vat. - Remember not to go over the maximum level indicated in the vat. +If you are going to use fat that is in the deep fat fryer, left over from a previous frying session, make holes in the fat with the help of a fork. Close the deep fat fryer cover to avoid spatters and turn the temperature regulat- ing control Fig. 1 (3) to 160° so that the fat slowly softens. If you wish, you can increase the temperature once the fat has melted.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

+ Wait until the oil has completely cooled before proceeding to clean your deep fat fryer. Unplug the deep fat fryer. + The basket and the cover can be washed with hot soapy water. To dismantle the cover, put it in a vertical position and pull it out. Clean the outside cas- ing with a damp cloth. + Empty the oil from the vat, through the oil draining area Fig. 1 (9). + When you change the oil, take advantage to also clean the inside of the vat using à cloth dampened with hot soapy water. Then dry it with a cloth and make sure it is completely dry before using the deep fat fryer again. + IMPORTANT: Never submerge the deep fat fryer in water. Freidora FL 6405 11 & 15/11/06, 10:43:42

PRACTICAL HINTS + Food items must be completely dry before you place them in oil or fat. +In order to prevent potatoes from sticking together, wash them before you fry them. “If the fryer is not going to be used continuously, it is best for the oil or liquid fat to be kept in the refrigerator or in a cool place in tightly closed containers. Beforehand, using a strainer, remove all the loose particles that the fried food may have released into the oil. + Change the oil when it looks dark, smells bad or the food tastes bad. Never add fresh oil or fat to used oil or fat. + Do not leave oil/fat at a high temperature for longer than necessary. + Always store the fryer with its lid closed to prevent dust or other products from deteriorating the oil or fat. «The discarded oil or fat must not be thrown down the WC or the sink. Put them into a closed container and take them to an appropriate rubbish con- tainer. Freidora FL 6405 12 & 15/11/06, 10:43:43
