2. BEFORE USE

• Carefully unpack the appliance and remove all packaging materials. Check the contents to make sure that all the parts and accessories are present and in good condition.
• Attach the handle of the basket in its place. Note that the handle folds back and locks for storage.
• Wash the lid, basket, filter, and tank by hand with hot soapy water.
• Wipe the control panel with a damp cloth and/or kitchen paper.

IMPORTANT: do not immerse the control panel in water.

- Dry all parts of the fryer thoroughly and place the tank, filter, control panel, basket, and lid back in place. Make sure the tank is in its correct position and aligned correctly, the max/min marks should be placed to the right.

3. OPERATION

- Remove the lid and take out the frying basket.

- Recommended types of oil: olive, corn, groundnut, or vegetable oil. Do not use margarine or butter.

NOTE: do not plug the appliance into the mains supply without oil in the tank.

NOTE: the lid must not be closed while the fryer is being used.

A. Remove the lid and plug the fryer into the mains supply. Turn the temperature dial to the desired heat setting.
B. When the oil reaches the desired temperature, the green light will turn off (do not add food until the selected temperature has been reached). The green light will light up again when food is placed in the oil, but will turn off when the oil reaches the selected temperature again.
C. Hang the basket on the side of the tank (make sure the handle is locked into place and dry).

E. Carefully lower the frying basket into the hot oil (the oil may spit as it fries the foodstuffs).
F. When the foodstuffs are ready, raise and place the basket in its resting position on the side of the tank. Let it drain the foodstuffs.
G. Turn the temperature dial off and unplug the fryer. Allow it to cool down for at least 2-3 hours before moving or cleaning it.
H. Place the foodstuffs in a dish covered with kitchen paper to remove any excess oil.

It is important not to close the lid while the fryer is being used.

The following frying times and temperatures are intended as a guide and should be adjusted to suit different quantities or thickness after your own taste.

FOOD WEIGHT TEMPERATURE TIME
Fresh chips 800 g 190 °C 10-12 min
Frozen chips 800 g 190 °C 10 min
Frozen scampi To cover the basket 170 °C 3-5 min
Fresh battered fish 150 g 190 °C 5-10 min
Frozen battered fish 150 g 170 °C	10-15 min
Small portions of battered chicken	150 g 170 °C 15-20 min
Large portions of battered chicken	150 g	190 °C	20-30 min
Fresh battered chicken drumsticks	2 o 3	170 °C	15 min
Beef burgers (100% meat)	250 g	170 °C 2-3 min

Chicken and beef burgers can taint the oil, leaving some taste that you may not want when frying other foodstuffs.

Home battered food

Take into account that if wet batter is placed in the basket prior to cooking, the food may stick to the metal.

This method requires extreme care:

1. Remove the lid and plug the fryer into the mains supply. Turn the temperature dial to the desired heat setting.
2. When the oil reaches the desired temperature, the green light will turn off (do not add food until the selected temperature has been reached). The green light will light up again when food is placed in the oil, but will turn off when the oil reaches the selected temperature again.
3. Coat the food in wet batter and shake it slightly to remove the excess of batter.
4. Carefully lower the frying basket into the hot oil.
5. Using tongs, lower the battered foodstuffs slowly into the oil.

WARNING: the oil may spit as food is added into it. Once ready, take the foodstuffs out using the frying basket.

• The fryer has a safety thermostat that switches the fryer off in case of overheating. This may happen if there is not enough oil in the tank.
• Do not overload the basket, as it may cause a drop in the temperature of the oil that may leave the food greasy or undercooked.
• The fryer will always be ready to use if it is stored with cooled and filtered oil inside, and the lid in place.
• When storing your fryer with oil inside, remove the handle and store it separately.
• Cook your food thoroughly. Remember that food may start to turn golden brown before it has been completely cooked.
• Select your cooking utensils with care. Do not use utensils that may melt. Metal utensils become hot and should have insulated handles.

IMPORTANT: When using metal utensils, take care not to damage the heating element.

• Your fryer has a maximum capacity for food of 800 g. This depends on food type (see the table above for more information). Do not fill more than half of the frying basket.
• Avoid draining food too long in the basket, as it may become soft and lose its crispness.
• Change the oil when it becomes brown or milky.
• If there are water droplets on the base of the Tank, the oil should be changed.
• Change the oil in your appliance after approximately 15 uses.
• All food items, particularly frozen food and potatoes, contain moisture. When lowered into the hot oil, the water in the food turns to steam and escapes.
  • Take into account the food to be cooked before selecting the frying temperature.
• As a general guide, pre-cooked food needs a higher cooking temperature than raw food.

4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Remove the lid (1), control panel (3), frying basket (4), filter (15) and tank (7).
• Pour out the oil in the tank through fine muslin or absorbent paper placed over a funnel into a suitable container.
• Wash the lid, filter, frying basket, and tank by hand with hot soapy water.
• The tank is dishwasher safe. Take it out of the dishwasher as soon as possible and dry it thoroughly.
• Clean the control panel with a damp cloth and/or kitchen paper.

IMPORTANT: do not immerse the control panel in water.

IMPORTANT: make sure the wires connected to the heating element are not damaged while cleaning.

- Dry all parts of your fryer thoroughly and place the tank, control panel, frying basket, and lid

back in place. When placing the tank, make sure it is placed correctly, with the max/min marks to the right.

- You may keep oil in the fryer if you make sure that the lid is properly closed.

Regular cleaning of the oil with the OilCleaner filter.

Use the OilCleaner filter to clean the oil and the fryer easily. The remainders from the foodstuffs will sink when the oil cools down. If you use the filter, you will be able to remove the remainders, keeping the oil clean longer and minimising the appearance of undesired flavours. Note: wait until the oil and the heating element are completely cold before proceeding as follows:

1. Unplug the fryer, remove the lid and the frying basket, and clean their

2. Remove the heating element raising it carefully to prevent the oil from overflowing.

3. Separate the OilCleaner filter from the heating element.

4. Clean filter with hot water and soap and dry it.

5. Attach the OilCleaner filter to the heating element, sliding it in the opposite direction.

6. Put the heating element with the OilCleaner filter in the fryer.
