PREHEATING

When the appliance has been plugged in, set the thermostat on the desired temperature and set the timer (between 0 and 30 minutes).

To reach a stable and correct temperature for use, it is necessary to wait 10 to 15 minutes.

During this time, the temperature control light will go on and off several times.

A good preheating will allow you to have browned and crispy fries.

USE

• Plug in the appliance.
• Set the thermostat to the desired temperature. Then set the timer (between 0 and 30 minutes). The pilot lamps light up. As soon as the desired temperature is reached, the pilot light will go out. When the temperature falls, the thermostat will be activated again, and the pilot light will illuminate. It will go out again as soon as the temperature is reached. This cycle will go on during use.

CAUTION: THE APPLIANCE WILL SWITCH OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE COOKING TIME SET WITH THE TIMER HAS ELAPSED.

• When the fryer has reached the desired temperature and the pilot light has gone out, take the handle and remove the bowl with the basket from the body of the appliance and put them on a stable and heat-resistant surface.

REMARK: When doing this, do not press the basket release button. The release button is only for when you want to separate the basket from the bowl (for cleaning...)

• Place the food into the basket and put the basket into the body of the appliance. Do not overfill the basket (do not exceed the MAX level).
  For a homogeneous cooking, you can open the appliance during the cooking process to mix the food.

CAUTION WHEN OPENING THE BOWL: VERY HOT STEAM MIGHT ESCAPE. TAKE CARE TO AVOID BURNS.

• At the end of the cooking time, the timer emits a beep. Hold the handle and remove the bowl from the body of the appliance. Ensure the food is thoroughly cooked inside and out. Empty the basket on a plate.
  After use, put the thermostat on "MIN/0" position and the timer on "OFF/0", unplug the fryer and let it open a little for faster cooling.

FOR BEST RESULTS

• Food for frying should be roughly of the same size to ensure the food cooks evenly and thoroughly.
• Do not overfill the basket.

ATTENTION: Your appliance is equipped with a safety system that switches off the appliance when you open/remove the bowl.

If you open the appliance to add or remove food, it is switched off automatically and it will only be operational again when the bowl is put back in place correctly.

As long as the appliance has not cooled down completely, do not put your hands at the space that is foreseen for the bowl as you might get burnt.
