AVVERTENZE GENERALI

LEGGERE QUESTE ISTRUZIONI PRIMA DI USARE L'APPARECCHIO.

Please read the instructions for use carefully before using your fryer for the first time.

Never leave the fryer (whether or not it is in use) within reach of children without supervision. Never allow children to use the fryer on their own. The use of this appliance by disabled persons must be made under supervision.

Check that the voltage rating of your fryer corresponds to that of your electrical system, and that your electricity supply can support at least 10 amps.

Any connection error will render the guarantee null and void.

It is essential that your fryer is connected by means of an earthed plug. Non compliance with this obligation can cause an electric shock and may lead to serious injury. It is vital for your own safety that the earth plug corresponds to the electrical installation standards in force in your country. If your wiring system does not include an earthed socket, it is vital that you call in a qualified electrician before plugging in the appliance, in order to bring your electrical system up to standard.

Never use your fryer if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged.

Any intervention other than cleaning intended exclusively for domestic use and within the home.

Unplug your fryer once you have stopped using it and when you are cleaning it.

Never put the fryer, the power cable or the plug into water or any other liquid.

Never allow the power cable to hang down within reach of children. Always keep the fryer well away from children.

The power cable must never be close to or touching the hot parts of the appliance, near a source of heat or rest on a sharp edge.

If the power cable or the plug are damaged, do not use the fryer. To avoid any risk, these must be replaced by an approved service centre.

Install your fryer on a worktop well away from any source of heat and from any risk of water splashes. A safety cut-out switch prevents the fryer from working if the removable tank, the external casing or the control panel are not in place.

Never operate your fryer without putting in the removable tank filled with oil.

Check that the oil level is above the "min" indicated in the tank.

Oil and fat are flammable products. If the oil or fat catches fire, unplug the fryer, cover it with its own lid or a plate to stifle the flame, but never use water.

The fryer is protected by a thermostat and an overheating safety appliance which automatically cuts off the electrical power in the event of accidental over-heating. However, if the appliance is used incorrectly (no oil, or insufficient oil, or failure to comply with the instructions for melting fat), it is possible to reset the safety switch. If the safety switch cuts off the power for other reasons, it is vital that you consult your retailer or an approved service centre.

Always observe the mini/maxi levels indicated inside the removable tank.

Never move your fryer while it is in use or while the oil is still hot. Hot oil can cause very serious burns.

It is essential that you wait until the oil has cooled down before removing the tank.

THERMAL SAFETY SWITCH

A thermal safety switch automatically cuts off the electrical power to the appliance in case of accidental overheating as the result of incorrect use of the appliance (no oil, or insufficient oil or failure to comply with the instructions for melting fat), or as the result of some kind of functional failure of the appliance (for example: defective thermostat).

If the appliance is used incorrectly, and after allowing the appliance to cool down, using a toothpick or similar object, all you need to do is press gently on the reset button behind the control panel.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Unpack your fryer and read the instructions for use carefully.

Open the lid

Fold down the handle until it locks.

1-Remove the basket by lifting the handle
2-Remove the control panel and the removable bowl by lifting them vertically.

Wash the oil container and the basket with hot water and washing up liquid, rinse and dry carefully.

Replace the oil container

USING THE FRYER

1. Adding oil or fat

Open the lid

Remove the basket by raising the handle. If you are using oil, pour the oil into the removable oil container up to the «Maxi» level never exceed the «Maxi» level indicated in the removable bowl, as you run the risk of the oil overflowing during frying.

If you are using blocks of fat, cut them into pieces, melt them in a container and pour the melted fat into the container. Never melt the blocks of fat in the basket or on the element.

Now you can start cooking.

Note: When the level of fat in its solid state falls below the "mini" level, add 250 g.

1. Frying food

Set the thermostat to the required setting, then set the timer to the required setting. The control light comes on. When the oil has reached the required temperature, the control light goes out.

Open the lid by lifting it with the handle.

Place the food in the basket.

Slowly lower the basket into the oil from the draining position.

Close the lid

When the cooking is finished, open the lid, raise the basket and place it in the draining position.

Do not forget to turn off your fryer.

Notes:

If you need to fry several batches of food in succession, wait each time until the indicator light has gone out before putting food into the oil.

PRACTICAL TIPS

1. Oil or fat

Never operate your fryer without oil.

Always use an oil which can withstand high temperatures.

Do not mix oils of different qualities.

Change the oil when it becomes brown after cooking (after 10 to

20 uses, depending on the type of cooking done).

Important: Before each use, make holes in the solid fat with a non-metallic spatula to the bottom of the tank, in order to allow any water trapped under the fat to escape in the form of steam.

In order to preserve your oil or fat for longer, the small particles of food will fall into a cool zone which is located at the bottom of the tank beneath the heating element.

Preparing foods for frying

No matter what the recipe, food must be perfectly dry to prevent overflowing and to extend the life of the oil.

1-When dishes include raw potatoes (chips, crisps and potato straws), wash them in cold water to get rid of the starch after chopping them. Dry them carefully, and this will prevent them from sticking together.

2-When preparing frozen foods, remove any ice crystals before cooking by shaking the basket over the sink.

Cooking

Do not overfill the basket, or you will cause the temperature in the fryer to drop, and this will make the food too greasy. The safety capacity of your fryer (provided that you slowly lower the basket into the oil to prevent any risk of overflowing) and the optimum cooking capacity are limited to:

For fresh or frozen chips Do not leave your fryer heating unnecessarily: your oil will last longer. Set the temperature selector to the "low" setting while waiting between two batches of frying. Do not leave your fried preparations in the basket in the draining position for too long, as the steam may soften them and take away their crispness.

COOKING CHARTS

Cooking times are given by way of indication.

You can adjust them according to your own tastes and the quantities.
