Fig. 1.2

FILLING WITH OIL

• Remove the pan cover and basket.
• Fill the tray with about 2 litres of oil or fat for frying, already partly melted. The level must be between the minimum and maximum marks printed on the tray.
• Make sure that the heating element is completely lowered.

IMPORTANT: The heating element must never be switched on when it is out of the oil.

COLD AREA

The appliance is so constructed as to allow an ample cold area under the heating element for the solid particles to settle. This helps the oil to last longer and improves the frying which will appear uniform, without burnt spots.

SAFETY THERMOSTAT

The appliance has a manually reset safety thermostat which turns the appliance off when the temperature, because of a fault, exceeds the set temperature.

If this happens call the After-Sales Service.

MAX MIN

Fig. 1.3

USING THE FRYER

• Check the level of oil or fat, it must be between the minimum and maximum mark.
• Make sure that the heating element is completely lowered.
• Move the basket handle outwards (fig. 1.7) and hook it (fig 1.8).
• Turn the changeover switch knob to the ON position (①) the power indicator light comes on.
• Turn the thermostat knob to the temperature required; the temperature indicator light comes on.
• When the temperature indicator light goes out, the oil or fat have reached the set temperature and the appliance is ready for cooking. This indicator will come on and go out intermittently during cooking.
• Before putting food into the basket dry it thoroughly because the contact between the water and the hot oil can lead to very dangerous splashes.
• Fill the basket with the food to be fried and lower it slowly into the oil.

WARNING: If the food is too wet there will be violent and dangerous foaming.

• As soon as the food is cooked, take out the basket and rest it on the support until all the excess oil has drained off (fig. 1.6).
• Always dry off any overflows.

IMPORTANT:

• While using the fryer the pan cover must always be removed.
• Never switch the fryer on with the heating element raised. If this happens by accident, never put the heating element into the oil or fat before it has cooled down.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING SOLID FAT

Some frying fats solidify when they cool. Melt them as follows:

• Make a hole in the fat down to the heating element.
• Switch the fryer on at 160^ for about a minute, then turn it off by turning the thermostat knob to 0.
• Repeat this operation until the fat is completely melted.

WARNING: Make absolutely sure that when dissolving the fat the heating element does not become red hot because the fat could catch fire.

TIPS FOR CORRECT FRYING

– Each food has a recommended frying temperature which should be respected, because if the temperature is too low the frying will be oily, while if it is too high the food will be too crispy on the outside and raw inside.
- Use a good special oil for frying.
- Put the basket with the food to be fried into the oil only when the oil is at the correct temperature (after the temperature indicator light has gone out).
- Do not overfill the basket otherwise the oil temperature will drop suddenly and the frying will be greasy and uneven.
- If possible the food should be of the same thickness and not too thick.
- When the food is cut too thick it cooks badly in the middle, even if it looks good. If it is of the same thickness cooking will be ideal and uniform.
– Large items of food (chicken, whole fish, etc.) which remain partly uncovered must be turned half way through cooking.
- Before putting the food into the basket dry itthoroughly, otherwise the food, especially potatoes, will be soft after cooking.
- Fish, meat, vegetables and all other food which contains a lot of water should be coated with breadcrumbs or flour. Make sure to shake off the excess of breadcrumbs or flour.
- Never salt the food in the fryer.
- At the end of frying do not leave the food in the basket inside the fryer: the fatty vapours given off in fact made the fried food soft, so that it loses that crispiness which is the sign of good frying.
- For best results filter the oil after cooking a few times and change it frequently.

OIL FIRE

• IMPORTANT: If the oil catches fire suffocate the flames immediately using the fryer cover.
• Never use water, because this would cause the flames to become worse.

CHANGING THE FRYING OIL

• Keep an eye on the oil level, which must never drop below the minimum.
• The oil should be changed regularly.
• The length of time the frying oil lasts depends on the type of food to be fried; as compared with normal frying, if the food is floured, for example, there will be more deposits in the oil and it should therefore be changed more frequently.
• If during cooking the oil smokes or smells bad it should be changed completely.

Fig. 1.10

USE OF THE COVER

- Wait for the oil to cool down before covering the fryer with the cover. To position the cover correctly fold the basket handle inwards (fig. 1.10 and 1.11 - arrow "A").

EMPTYING THE TRAY

• The try is emptied when the oil is cold.
• To take out the tray raise the heating element and lift the tray by pressing with the fingers inside where studs are provided.
• For easier oil emptying hold the tray tightly and tip the oil out at one corner.

If you use frying fats which solidify raise the heating element before the fat solidifies.

Look out for drops of hot oil when raising the heating element and dry them off immediately.

TIPS FOR GRILLING:

• Preheat the radiant zone sufficiently to obtain quick and uniform cooking.
• Do not pour water on the cooking surface when it is switched on or still hot.
• If cooking very fatty foods, leave the griddle switched on for a few minutes after cooking is finished, to burn off the fatty residues.

Caution!

The griddle becomes very hot during use and remains very hot even after it is switched off.

Keep children well out of reach.

ADVICE FOR THE SAFE USE OF CERAMIC GRIDDLE

• Do not lean on the cooking zones when they are switched on.
• Do not put aluminium foil or plastic objects on the cooking zones when they are hot.
• Do not leave objects of any type on the surfaces made of ceramic, glass or similar fragile material.
• Remember that the cooking zones remain hot for some time after they are switched off (about 30 min.).
  – Follow the cleaning instructions carefully.
• If you note a crack in the cooktop, switch the appliance off immediately and call the After-Sales Service.

Do not scratch the cooktop with cutting or sharp objects.

Do not use the cooktop as a work surface.

CLEANING THE CERAMIC GRIDDLE

Make sure that the cooktop is switched off before cleaning it.

• Remove any encrustation.
• Remove dust with a damp cloth.
  – Detergents can be used, but they must not be abrasive or corrosive.
• Any remaining detergent must be completely removed with a damp cloth.
• Do not put any objects on the cooktop which can melt with heat, such as plastic objects, aluminium foil, sugar or sugar products.
• If any object melts on the cooktop, remove it immediately (while the cooktop is still hot) using a speaal scraper, to prevent any irreversible damage to the glass ceramic surface.
• Do not use knives or sharp objects which could damage the cooktop surface.
• Do not use abrasive sponges or pads which could irreversibly damage the glass ceramic surface.

GENERAL ADVICE

√ Before you begin cleaning you must ensure that the hob is switched off.
It is advisable to clean when the appliance is cold and especially when cleaning the enamelled parts.
√ All enamelled surfaces have to be washed with soapy water or some other non-abrasive product with a sponge and are to be dried preferably with a soft cloth.
√ Avoid leaving alkaline or acid substances (lemon juice, vinegar etc.) on the surfaces.

ENAMELLED PARTS

√ All the enamelled parts must be cleaned with a sponge and soapy water only or other non-abrasive products.
√ Dry preferably with a chamois leather. If acid substances such as lemon juice, tomato conserve, vinegar etc. are left on the enamel for a long time they will etch it, making it opaque.

STAINLESS STEEL ELEMENTS

√ Stainless steel parts must be rinsed with water and dried with a soft and clean cloth or with a chamois leather.
√ For persistent dirt, use specific non-abrasive products available commercially or a little hot vinegar.

CAUTION: Any abrasive substances and non-neutral detergents are absolutely not to be used as these can cause permanent damage to these elements.

Do not use steam jet cleaners because the humidity could infiltrate into the appliance making it dangerous.

√ The power supply cord must not touch against any hot surfaces and must be placed so that its temperature does not exceed 75^ C at any point along its length.

√ After having installed the appliance, the power switch or power plug must always be in a accessible position.

N.B. For connections to the mains power supply, never use adapters, reductions or multiple power points as these may overheat and catch fire.

In the event that installation should require modifications to the mains supply wiring system or if the power plug is not suitable for the type of power point available, it is recommended that a qualified technician be called to carry out substitution.

The technician will also have to verify that the cross-section of the electric cables on the power point match the appliance's power rating.

Before carrying out any work on the electrical section of the appliance, it must be disconnected from the mains.

If the power supply cable is damaged it must be substituted by a suitable cable available in the after sales service.

Connection to a good earth wiring system is absolutely essential.

The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any inconvenience caused by failure to comply with this rule.
