- It is strongly recommended to wear appropriate clothing when using the device (avoid short sleeves!).

Maintenance and cleaning

- Before cleaning ensure that the power cable for the machine is unplugged. Allow the machine to cool before cleaning.

- If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid danger. This product is guaranteed by your distributor. For more details please refer to the guarantee conditions provided by the distributor.

- To protect yourself from the risk of electric shock, do not in any circumstances immerse the base of the machine in water or other liquids.

• Do not use chemical products, steel wool or abrasive cleaners to clean the outside of the machine. This risks damaging it.

b) Before Using for the First Time

• Unpack the machine and remove all the paper and plastic. Make sure no pieces of packaging remain inside or outside the machine.
• Then clean the lid and the pot in the dishwasher. Clean the frying basket with soap and hot water.
• Only wipe the machine, the control unit and the body with a damp tea towel.
  • Always use your machine on a stable, safe, dry, horizontal surface.
• Arrange sufficient space above and around all the sides for the circulation of air.
• Do not leave the machine in contact with flammable surfaces when in use (such as curtains and wallpaper).
• Be very vigilant when using the machine on surfaces which could be damaged by heat. The use of insulated protection is recommended.

a) Use of the machine

• For frying only use good quality vegetable oil. Do not use SOLID FAT, vegetable fat for frying, beef fat, horse fat, butter, margarine or olive oil.
  • Fill the fryer pot with oil to between the MIN and MAX level indicated.
• Plug in the machine.
• Turn the temperature setting button clockwise to increase the temperature. The indicator light comes on showing that the machine is heating up to the required temperature.
• Once this temperature is reached the indicator light goes out. You can then put your food in the oil.
• In order not to alter the taste of the food, it is advisable to periodically renew the oil bath after cooking.

Caution: do not put your food in the oil until it is hot.

• Once you have finished using the fryer unplug it.
• Put the lid back on and leave the oil in the fryer to cool completely before moving or cleaning the machine. Always use the handles to move the machine. Never try to move the deep fryer holding it by its lid or the pot.

We recommend removing the oil from the fryer once it has cooled completely and cleaning the machine before putting it away.

b) Cooking Guide

The table below provides guidelines for cooking food that is normally fried. All the food is fried with the oil at MAX level.

The maximum capacity of the basket is 1 kg but for excellent results we recommend that you do not exceed the weight recommended in the table below.

INGREDIENTS	Weight/Quantities	Temperature	Approx. cooking time (minutes)	Comments
Frozen chips 800 g	190°C 8-10			Move the basket from side to side once or twice during cooking to ensure cooking is optimal
Frozen cod or battered haddock	2-4 portions approx. 100 g each and 1.5 cm thick	160°C 8-9		Thick portions may take longer to cook in the middle. Turn the fish in the oil occasionally using tongs
Breaded frozen scampi	340 g packet	180°C 3-4		The scampi will have a deepgolden colour when cooked
Fresh and breaded prawns	140 g packet	180°C	1-2	Follow the manufacturer's instructions
Cod fillet fingers	10 fingers (300 g per packet)	160°C	4-5	Move the fillet in the oil occasionally for optimum cooking
Frozen chicken - Breaded fillet	2 portions approx. 100 g each	160°C – 170°C	9-10	The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink in the centre.Ensure that the food is boiling hot throughout.

It is important to take into account which food you want to fry in order to determine the appropriate temperature. Use the guideline information in the table below, the advice of the manufacturer and your own decision to guide you.

Do not overload the basket. This will reduce the oil temperature and your food will be greasier and less crunchy.

In addition, if you fill the basket the food will not cook evenly because all the oil cannot reach all the food. It is therefore preferable to cook in batches. Make sure the food is cooked in the centre. If the oil temperature is too high the food at the extremities will brown quickly whilst the centre will not be cooked.

c) Recommendations for Use

1. Frying

• Small food items will cook faster than big items. It may be necessary to cook chicken and frozen food for longer and at a lower temperature to avoid the surfaces cooking before the inside.
• Delicate food like prawns, or indeed diced vegetables, requires cooking at a higher temperature for less time.
  • Before using the fryer always fill it above the minimum level. Avoid filling the basket too full.
• Do not expose face or hands to steam or contact with boiling oil.
• For even cooking stir or turn the food with suitable utensils, or move the basket gently during cooking.

2. Checking that the food is hot.

Take a knife and insert it into the food. Hold it there for several seconds before taking it out. If the knife is hot when you touch it your dish is hot in the middle.

You can also use a food thermometer. The chicken is cooked when its juice runs clear and the meat is no longer pink in the middle.

3. Utensils

• Choose your kitchen utensils with care. Do not use utensils that might melt (e.g. plastic).
• Be careful not to damage your machine when you use metal utensils.
• Use suitable gloves or utensils with insulated handles.
• Suitable utensils are those in metal or heat-resistant plastic, skimmers and tongs.
• Unsuitable utensils are those in wood, plastic that is not resistant to heat, knives or other sharp tools.

4. Oil

Oils recommended for use in the fryer

Sunflower Vegetable Peanut Rapeseed Corn

Oils and fats that are not recommended

Very oily Olive oil (all types)

Quantity of oil:

Always use the quantity of oil recommended for frying. Never exceed this volume and never use the fryer without oil. Always fill the fryer with oil above the MIN before using it.

4) LOOKING AFTER AND CLEANING YOUR MACHINE

Always unplug your fryer and leave the oil and your fryer to empty completely before cleaning or dismantling it.

Never soak the control unit, the power supply lead or the plug in water or any other liquid. Never use abrasive cleaning products.

a) Dismantling the Deep Fryer before Cleaning it

• Remove the fryer lid and basket.
• Carefully remove the control unit and the element in the body. To do this hold the control unit with one hand whilst holding the body firmly with the other. Just lift the control unit upwards until it detaches from the body.

- Remove the frying pot. Grip the edge of the bowl with two hands and remove it from the body.

b) Cleaning the Deep Fryer

Always unplug your fryer and leave the oil and your fryer to empty completely before cleaning it.

Never soak the control unit, the power supply lead or the plug in water or any other liquid.

A B

Never use abrasive cleaning products.

Cleaning the removable tank and the frying basket:

Remove all the food residues from the tank and basket using kitchen towel then put the elements into the dishwasher.

Cleaning the control unit, lid and body: These parts are not dishwasher-proof.

Wipe the surplus oil off the heating element with kitchen towel (take care not to damage the electric wires connected to the heating element). Wipe the control unit, lid and body with a clean and slightly damp cloth.

c) Reassembling after Cleaning

- Place the machine body on a stable, safe, dry, horizontal surface.

- Hold the edge of the pot on both sides to lower it into the fryer.

- Reconnect the control unit to the body. The control unit has two rails into which the corresponding parts should be inserted in the body of the fryer.

- Slide the setting panel downwards into the rails (Figure B) until the elements are correctly assembled and inserted into the slits.

Note: The fryer will not work if the control unit is not attached to the body.

• To store the fryer, replace the basket, fold back the handle and close the lid.

d) Troubleshooting

The appliance does not heat up; no indicator light comes on (only the timer works)

Check that the wall socket is workingCheck that the circuit breaker on the fuse box in your house has not trippedCheck that the control unit is correctly inserted into the housing of the appliance.Check that the temperature safety mechanism has not been triggered (see below)

SAFETY: Your appliance is fitted with a temperature safety mechanism.

The temperature safety mechanism may turn off the appliance automatically if it overheats (use when empty, insufficient oil level, used for too long).

If the temperature safety mechanism triggers:

1- Disconnect your appliance and allow it to cool for 30 minutes
2- Take the control unit out of its housing and reset the temperature safety mechanism by using a rod to press the "RESTART" button located on the case of the unit (see the image below for the location of the button)
