Before using for the first time The fryer can be completely dismantled. Remove the lid, the basket and handle. Fig.1-2 Make sure the basket handle is well inserted in the basket notches. Fig.3. Put the basket handle in place. Fig.4 Remove the control unit and heating element. Fig.5 Remove the bowl. Fig.6 Clean the bowl and the basket with a sponge and soapy water or put them in the dishwasher . Fig.7 Clean the lid and the heating element with a sponge and soapy water. Fig.8 Dry all components thoroughly. Place the bowl and the heating element in position. Fig.9. Make sure it is well inserted into the corresponding slots. Fig.10 Important : –Do not immerse the control unit in water. –Never wash the lid and the heating element in the dishwasher. –Make sure that the control unit is correctly positioned otherwise the fryer cannot function (you hear a « click » sound). Filling the bowl Fill the bowl with oil until the MAX level. Fig.11 Never exceed the maximum level indicated in the bowl and never go below the MIN level. Oil Vegetable fat Min. 8

cups / 2.5 L 5.95 lbs / 2700 g4 For best results, use oil recommended for deep frying: vegetable oil, corn oil, canola oil, etc. If using sunower oil ensure the oil is changed every 5 uses. Oils which should NOT be used under any circumstances and may cause overowing/smoking/risk of re are: ground nut oil, soya oil, olive oil, lard or drippings. If you use solid vegetable oil, cut it into small pieces and melt it in a separate pan. Pour the melted oil into the fryer bowl. Never melt solid fat on the heating element or in the frying basket. Never put solid shortening directly into the deep fryer pot or basket, as this will lead to deterioration of the fryer. Important : –Do not mix different types of oil or fat as this may cause the oil to overow. Fig.12 –The oil/fat level must always be between the min. and max. markers, stamped inside the bowl. –Check this each time prior to cooking and add some of the same type of oil if necessary. Loading the basket Remove excess water, ice or frost from food. Fill the basket before placing it in the deep fryer (see the cooking tables page 5). Do not overll the basket. Fig.13. Reduce the quantities for frozen foods. Cooking tips: cut food into similar-sized pieces so that they cook evenly. Avoid using pieces that are too thick. For crispier frozen fries, wash them in cold water and dry them carefully. Not all frozen foods are ready to use, check the manufacturer’s instructions. Important : –Never exceed the maximum capacity. Shake frozen food to remove excess pieces of ice away from the deep fryer. No matter what the recipe, food must be dried thoroughly before frying. This will prevent the oil from overowing and extend the life of the oil. Preheating Place the fryer : –on a at, horizontal, stable and heat resistant surface. Do not place it close to an external heat source (gas stove, hot plate etc.). –out of the reach of children –away from water or heat sources. After the bowl has been lled with oil, plug in the fryer. Fig.14 Put the lid on. Fig.15 Turn the thermostat knob to the desired temperature without the frying basket. The power indicator light will come on and the fryer will begin to heat up. Fig.16 Important : –Never operate your fryer without any oil or fat in the bowl.5 ENGLISH COOKING Lowering the basket When the power indicator light is off, remove the lid. Put the ingredients in the basket, and put down the basket onto the bowl slowly (approx. 30 seconds). Fig.17 (plunging the basket too rapidly in the oil may cause it to overow). Before putting the lid on, wait for 1 minute. Fig.18 During cooking, it is normal for the ready light to go on and off. Important: –Never touch the appliance during cooking, it is hot ! –When the fryer is in use, some parts will be extremely hot and can cause severe burns. –Only touch the knobs and handles of the fryer for your safety. Using the snack accessory This accessory is used for frying delicate food such as sh sticks, or breaded food. You can cook food on 2 levels : place a rst layer of ingredients in the basket, then add the snack accessory onto the basket with other ingredients. Then put the basket into oil. Fig.19 This process will prevent ingredients to stick. The accessory will be hot after cooking, please use gloves for removing it. At the end of cooking time Frying is complete when the cooking time has elapsed and food is of the desired color and texture. Allow excess oil to drain by hooking the basket on the support on the inner bowl and leave for 30 seconds. Fig. 20-21 Serve. To use a second time, correct the oil level if necessary, then wait for the ready light to turn on again for preheating. Then follow the steps mentionned previously. Switching off the deep fryer When you have nished frying, turn the thermostat down to the lowest setting. Fig.22. Then unplug the deep fryer. Fig.23 Allow the oil to cool completely in the fryer (approx. 2 hours). Move the fryer using the carrying handles.

We recommend changing the oil/fat after a maximum of 8 to 10 uses. If using sunower oil, ensure the oil is changed after every 5 uses. If you hear clapping sounds during the heating of the oil, it means that water is in the oil. Remove it and pour new oil. You may store the oil in the fryer, or in a separate airtight container. Do not pour used oil/fat into the sink. Leave it to cool, and throw it away with household waste-according to the local community regulations. If you use solid shortening, we advise you to store it separately from the fryer. Crumbs that break away from foods tend to burn and alter the quality of the oil more rapidly. Over time, this increases the risk of catching re. For this reason, lter the oil regularly. Cleaning the fryer Always unplug your fryer and leave it to cool completely before cleaning it (approx. 2 hours). The bowl and the frying basket are dishwasher safe or can be immersed in soapy water. Clean the lid, the housing, the control unit and the heating element with a damp cloth. Ensure all components are dry before placing them back inside the fryer. Put the lid on the fryer for clean storage. Never immerse the control unit in water and never wash it under running water. Never wash the lid, the housing and the control unit in the dishwasher. Do not store your deep fryer outside. Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning products. Reset function Your appliance is equipped with an overheating security feature located in the back of the control unit. If you use your fryer without oil the safety cut-off is activated and the appliance will shut off automatically. In this case, unplug the appliance and let it cool. After the bowl has been lled with oil, plug the appliance in. Then press the safety cut-off RESET button with a toothpick or similar non-metallic object. If the problem with the safety cut-off persists, please contact our Helpline (see details on page 10).8

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION

The fryer is not heating The appliance is not plugged in. Plug-in the appliance and check the connection The cooking temperature is not being reached. Set the thermostat control to the required temperature. The control unit is not correctly positioned. To prevent this, use the guide slots to correctly position the control unit. The safety cut-off is activated. Check the oil level, let it cool and press the RESET button, which is located on the back of the control unit of the fryer. Oil overows The basket was lowered too quickly. Lower the basket slowly and keep a close eye on the oil level. Cooking freshly made fries at 356°F/374°F -180°C/190°C for the rst fry. It is important to double-fry freshly made fries and to respect the recommended cooking temperature (see page 6). The « MAX » marker for lling the bowl has been exceeded. Check the level « MAX » and remove the excess. The frying basket has been overlled with food. Check that the basket is not too full. Fig.13 Food is wet or contains too much water (frozen food). Remove any ice and dry the food thoroughly. Lower the basket slowly. Wrong oil or different types of oil/fat have been mixed. Empty and clean the bowl. Rell the bowl with one type of oil (see recommedations of what oil to use page 4) Emits unpleasant smells Snapping sounds during oil heating The fat/oil has deteriorated Replace the frying oil (after 10 uses max. and 5 for sunower oil) more frequently depending on the oil. The fat/oil is unsuitable Use a good quality blended vegetable oil. Food does not become golden, and remains soft Food is moist and contains too much water (frozen food). Remove as much ice from the frozen food as possible before frying. Pieces are too thick and contain water. Experiment by lengthening the cooking time or by slicing food smaller and thinner. Too much food is being cooked at the same time and the cooking oil is not at the right temperature. Fry food in small quantities (especially when frozen). The temperature of the frying oil may not be high enough: the temperature is set incorrectly. Set the thermostat control to the recommended temperature. French Fries stick together Unwashed food immersed in hot oil. Wash potatoes well and dry them thoroughly. TROUBLESHOOTING9 ENGLISH
