Instructions for use Before use: -Make sure that all the product’s packaging has been removed. -Before using the product for the first time, clean the parts that will come into contact with food in the manner described in the cleaning section. Oil filling: -Open the cover -Ensure that the electrical equipment is appropriately positioned. -Pour oil up to the mark indicating the MAXIMUM level on the bowl (Fig.3). -The appliance must not be used with less oil than that indicated by the MINIMAL mark. Use: -Remove the lid. This fryer is not designed to fry with the lid on. -Take out the basket and attach the handle (Fig. 7) -Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the basket and the oil container with soap and water, rinsing well to eliminate any soap residue and then drying. -Take the length of cable required out of the housing. -Connect the appliance to the mains. -Select the desired frying temperature using the thermostat control. The indicator light will turn red, indicating that the oil is being heated (close the lid to save energy). -Prepare the food to be fried and place it in the basket, making sure that it does not rise above 3/4 of its capacity. Allow the food to drain before placing it in the basket. -Frozen food must be allowed for thaw beforehand. The placing of frozen food or food with high water content in the basket may cause the oil to suddenly spit after a few seconds. -Wait until the pilot light has gone out which will indicate that the appliance has reached an adequate temperature. -Slowly place the basket in the bowl to avoid overflowing and splashing.

The basket handle can be left attached or can be turned toward the inside of the basket by pressing sidewise on the rods and rotating (Fig.

-Close the lid. Practical recommendations: -Fry a few pieces of bread to remove the smell of used oil. -For food with a high water content, it is better and quicker to fry in two lots with less food than in just one. This will reduce the risk of splashes and spillage. -The “two-stage frying method” can be used for an even and crispy coating. This system consists of first frying the food until it is reasonably well done and then frying again using very hot oil to brown the food. -Olive oil with a minimum acidity level is recommendable for frying. -Do not mix different oils. -Wash potatoes before frying to stop them from sticking Safety thermal protector: -In the event of overheating, the thermal safety mechanism will be activated and the appliance will stop operating. When this occurs the appliance should be disconnected from the mains and left to cool. Then press the rearming button, situated at the back of the electrical circuit, with the tip of a pen or similar in order to reactivate the appliance (Fig. 2).
