Thank you for choosing a Franke product. Before using the appliance, please read all the instructions and

advice contained in this manual. In this way you will be able to make best use of the appliance and also ensure

its lasting efficiency. Keep this booklet for further reference.

Switching on the first time

Before using the fryer carefully wash the basket, oil tank and the heating element part to be placed in the oil

with hot water and dish washing soap, then dry thoroughly. It is advisable to repeat this operation at least

every oil change (the basket can also be put in a dishwasher). After carrying out these operations, put all the

parts back in their original seats.

Heating element activation

Before switching the fryer on, it is essential pour enough oil in the special tank to reach the min. level (approx.

3 litres) indicated on it. To avoid spilling or spattering of boiling oil, do not exceed the max. level indicated on

the tank (approx. 4 litres).

Turn the knob clockwise (gradually increasing fryer power), setting the required temperature.

The On light (C) remains on during fryer operation, whereas the heating indicator (D) remains on only during

This fryer is equipped with a manual-reset safety thermostat that switches off the power to the appliance.

The device intervenes in case of overheating due to a technical malfunction and to prevent risks due to use of

the fryer with low oil level.

To reactivate the fryer, proceed as follows

- turn the knob to “0”

- wait until the oil has cooled

- remove the control box after removing the basket (fig. 1)

- unscrew the cap at the bottom, push the pin all the way and retighten the protection cap (fig. 2).

In these cases it is advisable to also change all the oil

At the end of cooking make sure the knob is set to 0, to avoid pointless waste of electricity and possible

Never leave the fryer unattended when switched on.

- Remove basket from the tank and place it on a dry worktop. Place food in

the basket until about half full.

- Select the required frying temperature by turning the knob (H).

- At the end of cooking, the food can be drained by positioning the basket in

the special hooking (see figure)

To obtain best cooking results the food should be completely immersed in

the oil. It takes about 5 minutes to reach the optimum temperature of

approx. 180°C, keeping the steel lid on the tank. During frying it is advisable

for the glass cover (optional to remain open.

Make sure the oil has reached the set temperature (the heating D indicator goes off) before placing food in it.

When the fryer is not operating, the basket handle can be closed forwards in order to be covered.

The part of the heating element near the control box is cold: the hot part of the heating element is only the

part placed in the oil.

This fryer has a thermostat which prevents the oil from overheating, therefore repeated frying with the same

Each time after cooking always make sure that the oil has not fallen below the min. level; top-up if necessary.

Make sure there is not an excessive amount of food residuals on the bottom of the tank: if necessary, filter or

b) both are easily accessible and positioned so that no live part can be accessed when inserting or removing

c) the plug can be inserted without difficulty and is accessible with the appliance installed

d) that when the plug is inserted, the fryer is not resting on it when installed in the cabinet

e) the terminals of two appliances are not connected to the same plug

H05VV-F type cable is used when replacing the power cable.

g) to respect the polarities of the free terminals (Brown=Live Blue=Neutral
