Instructions for use Before use: - 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 lid by pressing the opening button. -Remove the basket by pulling it upward. -Pour oil up to the mark indicating the MAXIMUM level on the bowl. - The appliance must not be used with less oil than that indicated by Manual prisma.indb 15 14/05/12 10:25the MINIMAL mark. Use: - Connect the appliance to the mains. - The pilot light comes on. - Select the desired frying temperatu- re using the thermostat control. The indicator light will turn on, 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 ¾ 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. Fry with the lid open or closed, as required. - When the food has been fried suffi- ciently, lift the basket and position it in the support in order to allow the excess oil to drain from the food (Fig. 3) - Empty the basket. - Change the oil approximately every 15 or 20 frying operations, or every 5 – 6 months if not used frequently. - In order to minimize the genera- tion of acrilamida during the frying process, avoid to reach dark brown colours on the fried food, remove any burnt leftovers from the oil container, food rich in starch (such as potatoes or corns) should not be fried at tem- peratures higher to 170ºC.

Carry handles: - This appliance has a handle on the side of the body, which facilitates comfortable transport (Fig. 4). Practical recommendations: - Fry a few pieces of bread to remove the smell of used oil. - For food with 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: - The appliance has a safety device, which protects the appliance from overheating. - If the appliance turns itself off and does not switch itself on again, dis- Manual prisma.indb 16 14/05/12 10:25connect it from the mains supply, and wait for approximately 15 minutes before reconnecting.
