The times given are only a guide and may vary depending on

quantities and personal taste. Thicker foods may require turning

halfway through frying to ensure even cooking on both sides.

We recommend you to:

- Limit the cooking temperature at 170°C, especially for potatoes.

- Control the cooking: do not eat very brown or burnt food, but golden food.

- Clean your oil after each use to avoid burnt crumbs and change it regularly.

- Eat a balanced and varied diet which includes plenty of fruits and vegetables.

For a good and fast cooking, limit the quantity of chips to 1/2 basket per frying.

Chips 600g 170°C 11-16 min.

Fried onion rings 12 180g 190°C 3-4 min.

Cooks tip: When cooking battered foods or doughnuts, remove the wire basket to prevent

food sticking to it. Take great care when handling the food and use tongs. Gradually place

the food in the hot oil, submerging it an inch at a time to prevent it from sinking straight

away.ENG Switching off the fryer •When you have finished frying, press the switch to the 0position.• Unplug the fryer.• Leave the fryer (and the oil inside) to cool completely (approx.4 hours).• Store the plug.• Move the fryer using the carrying handles.Never move the fryer while the oil or fat is still hot.

Youmay store the oil or fat in the fryer, or in separate airtightcontainer.Filter the oil after each use with filter paper (available fromapproved Service Centres) or a filter pot.
