Frequently Asked Questions - BTDF900 Bellini

How to clean the deep fryer after use?

Allow the oil to cool completely, then remove the basket and lid. Wash them in warm soapy water or in the dishwasher. Wipe the interior bowl with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base in water. Regularly clean the permanent metal mesh filter with a brush.

What type of oil is recommended for this fryer?

Use high-smoke-point oils such as canola, peanut, sunflower, or vegetable oil. Avoid olive oil or butter as they burn easily. Do not mix different types of oil.

How do I set the temperature correctly?

Turn the thermostat dial to the desired temperature, typically between 130°C and 190°C. Refer to your recipe for exact settings. The indicator light will turn off when the oil reaches the set temperature.

Why does the deep fryer turn off during use?

This may be due to the overheat protection or a tripped safety switch. Ensure the oil level is not too low and the fryer is not covered. If it persists, let it cool and check for blockages in the air vents.

Can I wash the frying basket in the dishwasher?

Yes, both the basket and the lid are dishwasher safe. For best results, place them on the top rack. Hand washing is also fine.

How often should I replace the filter?

The permanent metal mesh filter does not need replacement, but clean it after every few uses. Remove it, rinse under hot water, and scrub with a soft brush to remove residues.

What should I do if the deep fryer does not heat up?

First, ensure it is plugged in and the power outlet is working. Check that the thermostat is set above zero. If the safety reset button (if available) has tripped, press it. If still not heating, contact Bellini support.

Is it safe to leave the deep fryer unattended while cooking?

No, never leave the deep fryer unattended when in use. Hot oil can catch fire quickly. Always stay nearby and keep children and pets away. Use the auto shut-off feature only as a safety backup, not as a timer.

How much oil should I fill in the deep fryer?

Fill oil to between the MIN and MAX marks inside the bowl. Overfilling can cause overflow when food is added. Typically, 1.5 L is the maximum capacity.

Can I cook frozen foods directly in this fryer?

Yes, but shake off excess ice first to minimize splattering. Lower the basket slowly into the heated oil. The temperature will drop briefly, so adjust cooking time accordingly. For best results, thaw foods beforehand.
