OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Remove the appliance from the packaging.
• Before use, check that the power supply voltage corresponds to the value shown on the appliance rating plate.
• Before use, wash the bowl, the lid (remove filters) and the basket in hot water, then carefully dry the bowl.
• Never switch on the fryer before adding oil or fat. If the fryer is operated without oil or fat, a thermal safety device stops the operation of the appliance. In this case, contact one of our authorized service centres before re-using the appliance.

FILLING WITH OIL OR FAT

• Open the lid "L", lifting it by the handle "I" in the direction of arrow 1, then lift it in the direction of arrow 2 (see Fig. 1) and remove the accessories.
• Pour 1.3 litres of oil into the container (or 1.2kg of fat).

WARNING

The level of oil must always be between the maximum and minimum limits indicated on the bowl.

Do not use the deep fryer when the level of oil is below the "min" mark: the thermal safety device may trip; to replace it, contact one of our service centres.

For best results, use good quality oil. Avoid mixing different types of oil. If using lumps of solid fat, cut them into small pieces so that the deep fryer does not heat up in the first few minutes without a uniform covering of fat. The temperature must be set to 150^ until the fat has melted completely. The required temperature can then be set.

STARTING FRYING

1. Place the food to be fried in the basket, without overfilling it (max 0.7 kg of fresh potatoes). For more uniform frying, the food should be concentrated above all around the perimeter of

the basket, leaving less food in the centre. Remove the ice from frozen foods (see: frying frozen foods).

1. Close the lid by pressing it lightly downwards until it "clicks" into place.

2. Set the thermostat knob "T" to the desired temperature (Fig. 2). When the set temperature has been reached, the signal lamp "S" will switch off,

3. As soon as the signal lamp switches off, lower the basket slowly into the oil

Proceed as follows for models supplied with:

Metal handle basket

• Make sure the handle "lock" slide is in the rear position
• Fit the handle "B" to the basket "A" (Fig. 3) and move the handle "lock" slide as far forwards as possible (Fig. 4).
  Before lowering the basket into the oil or lifting it, always check that the handle slide is in the forward position.
• Then close the lid, after having removed the handle from the basket.

Folding plastic basket handle

• Unfold the handle on the basket "E" until it locks into place (pos. 2, Fig. 5).
• Turn the handle on the basket "E" upwards until the handle slide "F" clicks into place (pos. 3, Fig. 6).
• Then close the lid. To lower the handle, move the slide "F" backwards and turn it downwards. It is normal for drops of condensate to form around the handle of the basket when the appliance is operating.
• It is completely normal for a significant quantity of hot steam to be released from the filter cover "H" immediately after this operation.

IN THE MODELS FITTED WITH THE ELECTRONIC MINUTE TIMER

Set the cooking time by pressing the button "O"; the display "N" will show the minutes set.

The figures will begin flashing immediately afterwards, signifying that the cooking time has started. The last minute will be displayed in seconds.

In the event of errors, a new cooking time can be set by keeping the button pressed for more than 2 seconds. The display will be reset; then repeat the process again.

The minute timer will indicate the end of the cooking time by two series of beeps at an interval of around 20 seconds.

To switch off the audible signal, press the minute timer button "O".

WARNING: the minute timer does not switch the appliance off.

Replacing the minute timer batteries

• Remove the minute timer from its compartment (Fig. 7).
• Turn the battery cover (Fig. 8) anticlockwise until it is released.
• Replace the battery with another of the same type.
  Reassemble the minute timer.

If the appliance is to be replaced or thrown away, the battery must be removed and disposed of in accordance with the current laws, as it represents an environmental hazard.

AFTER FRYING

When the set cooking time has elapsed, lift the basket and check that the food has been cooked to the desired colour. For the models supplied with a metal handle, fit the handle to the basket (Fig. 3) and move the handle "lock" slide "C" forwards.

If the food is completely cooked, turn the appliance off by moving the thermostat knob to "OFF",

until the switch " clicks"

Allow the excess oil to drain by leaving the basket in the deep fryer, in the raised position.

Note: when cooking in two phases (e.g.: potatoes), lift the basket at the end of the first phase, wait for the signal lamp to switch off again, then lower the basket back into the oil (see the tables further on).

FILTERING THE OIL OR FAT

This procedure should be carried out each time you have finished frying, especially when the food has been coated in crumbs or flour. The food particles tend to burn if they remain in the liquid, thus causing much quicker deterioration of the oil or fat.

Check that the oil is cool enough (wait around two hours).

Move the deep fryer towards the edge of the work surface (Fig. 9). To prevent the appliance from falling while filtering the oil, make sure that the feet "U" always remain on the work surface (Fig. 9).

MODELS SUPPLIED WITH OIL DRAIN TUBE

Proceed as follows:

1. Remove the basket.
2. Open the hatch "P" (as shown in Fig. 10) and take out the oil drain tube "Q".
3. Remove the cap "R" (as shown in Fig. 10) and at the same time choke the tube between two fingers to prevent the liquid from being released until the end of the tube has been placed in a container.
4. Let the liquid flow out into a container (Fig. 11), ensuring that it does not spill. Never empty the deep fryer by tilting it or turning it upside down (Fig. 12).
5. Remove any deposits from the bowl using a sponge or absorbent paper.
6. Put the tube back in its compartment, after having replaced the cap, and then close the hatch.
7. Hook the basket to the edge of the bowl and place the filter supplied in the bottom of the basket (Fig. 13). The filters are available from your reseller or our Service Centre.
8. Then pour the oil and fat very slowly into the deep fryer, until it flows over the filter (Fig. 14).
   N.B: The filtered oil can be stored inside the deep fryer. Nonetheless, if a long period elapses between cooking, the oil should be stored in a sealed container, so as to prevent it from deteriorating.

It is a good idea to keep the oil used to fry fish separate from that used to fry other food. If lard or fat is used, make sure it does not cool down too much, otherwise it will solidify.

MODELS WITHOUT OIL DRAIN TUBE

Proceed as follows:

1. After having removed the lid (Fig. 15), empty the bowl as shown in Fig. 16.
2. Hook the basket to the edge of the bowl and place the filter supplied in the bottom of the basket (Fig. 13). The filters are available from your reseller or our service centre.
3. Then pour the oil and fat very slowly into the deep fryer, until it flows over the filter (Fig. 14).
   N.B: The filtered oil can be stored inside the deep fryer. Nonetheless, if a long period elapses between cooking, the oil should be stored in a sealed container, so as to prevent it from deteriorating. It is a good idea to keep the oil used to fry fish separate from that used to fry other food.

If lard or fat is used, make sure it does not cool down too much, otherwise it will solidify.

REPLACING THE ANTI-ODOUR FILTERS

Con l'andar del tempo i filtri antidore alloggiati all'interno del coperchio perdono la loro efficacia. Un cambiamento di colore del filtr, visibile atraverso il foro "A" di fig. 17 sul lato interno del coperchio, indica che il filtr va sostituito. Per sostiturlo, rimuovere il copri filtr in plastica "H" (fig. 18) premendo il gancio "G" in direzione della freccia 1, quando sollevarlo in direzione della freccia 2. Sostiturre i filtri.

N.B: The white filter must rest on the metal part (Fig. 19) and the coloured area must face upwards (towards the black filter).

Reassemble the filter cover, being careful to insert the front hooks correctly (as shown in Fig. 15).

Do not run the appliance with depleted filters, as this could cause bad odours and obstruct the steam.

CLEANING

Before cleaning, always unplug the appliance from the electrical socket.

• Never immerse the deep fryer in water or hold it under the tap. The infiltration of water may cause short-circuiting and electric shocks.

After having allowed the oil to cool for about 2 hours, empty out the oil or fat as previously described in the paragraph "filtering the oil or fat".

Remove the lid by lifting it carefully (Fig. 15).

Do not immerse the lid in water before having removed the filters.

To clean the bowl, proceed as follows:

• Wash the bowl in warm water and dishwashing detergent, then carefully rinse and dry. For the models fitted with an oil drain tube, it may be useful to place the deep fryer on the draining surface of the sink, with the oil drain tube inside the sink. In this position, a jug of warm soapy water and a soft brush can be used to clean the deep fryer bowl: the dirty water will flow directly into the sink (Fig. 20).
• To clean the inside of the oil drain tube, use the brush supplied (Fig. 21). Do not use the brush before having taken out the tube.
• The basket should be cleaned regularly, with care being taken to remove any deposits.
• Dry the outside of the deep fryer using a soft, damp cloth, to remove any splashes and drops of oil or condensate.
• Clean and dry the seal, to prevent it from sticking to the deep fryer bowl when the appliance is not in use.
• After washing, dry thoroughly. Remove any residual water from the bottom of the bowl and, above all, from inside the oil drain tube. This will prevent dangerous splashes of hot oil during operation.
• The basket and its handles can be washed in the dishwasher.

MODEL WITH NON-STICK BOWL

To clean the non-stick bowl, use a soft cloth and neutral detergent; never use abrasive detergents.

COOKING HINTS

HOW LONG THE OIL OR FAT LASTS

The oil or fat must never fall below the minimum level. From time to time it must be replaced completely. The length of time the oil or fat lasts depends on what is fried.

Food in breadcrumbs, for example, dirties the oil more than simple frying.

As for all types of deep fryer, the oil deteriorates if it is reheated several times! Therefore, even if it is used and filtered correctly, it should be replaced completely quite often.

The oil should be completely changed every 5/8 uses, or in the following circumstances:

• unpleasant odours
• smoke when frying
  the oil becomes dark in colour

HOW TO FRY CORRECTLY

• It is important to follow the recommended temperature for every recipe. If the temperature is too low, the fried food absorbs oil. If the temperature is too high, a crust quickly forms on the outside while the inside remains uncooked.
• The food being fried must only be immersed when the oil has reached the right temperature, i.e. when the signal lamp switches off.
• Do not overfill the basket. This would cause the temperature of the oil to drop suddenly, resulting in fried food which is too greasy and not uniformly fried.
• When frying small quantities of food, the temperature of the oil must be set lower than the temperature indicated to avoid the oil boiling too violently.
• Check that the food is thinly sliced and of even thickness, as food which is too thick cooks badly on the inside, despite looking cooked, while food of an even thickness reaches the ideal cooking point all at the same time.
• Dry the food completely before immersing it in the oil or fat, as wet food becomes soggy after cooking (especially potatoes). Food with a high water content (fish, meat, vegetables) should be coated in crumbs or flour, being careful to remove the excess breadcrumbs or flour before immersing it in the oil.

Please remember that the cooking times and temperatures are approximate, and must be adjusted according to the quantity of food and personal tastes.

FRYING FROZEN FOODS

• Frozen foods have very low temperatures. As a result, they inevitably cause a considerable drop in the temperature of the oil or fat. For best results, do not exceed the quantities recommended in the following table.

• Frozen foods are often covered in ice crystals which must be removed before cooking. This can be done by shaking the basket. Then lower the basket very slowly into the frying oil, to prevent the oil from reboiling.

The cooking times are approximate and must be varied according to the initial temperature of the food being fried and according to the temperature recommended by the frozen food producer.

Food		Maximum quantity	Temperature °C	Time in minutes
CHIPS		200 (*)	190	1stphase 2-4
				2ndphase 1-2
POTATO CROQUETTES		350	190	6-7
FISH	Cod fingers (6)	150	190	4-5
	Shrimps	150	190	4-5
MEAT	Chicken cutlets (n. 1)	120	190	3-5

(*) This is the recommended quantity to achieve excellent frying. It is naturally possible to fry a larger amount of chips, yet you should bear in mind that in this case they will end up being a little greasier because of the sudden drop in the oil temperature at the time of immersion.

OPERATING FAULTS

FAULT	CAUSE	REMEDY
Bad smell	The anti- odour filter is saturated. The oil has deteriorated. The cooking liquid is unsuitable.	Replace the filters. Replace the oil or fat. Use good quality sunflower or vegetable oil.
The oil overflows	The oil has deteriorated and causes too much foam. You have immersed food which is not sufficiently dry in the hot oil. The basket has been immersed too quickly. The oil level in the deep fryer is over the maximum limit.	Replace the oil or fat. Dry the food well. Immerse slowly. Reduce the amount of oil in the bowl.
Food does not brown during cooking	The oil temperature is too low. The basket is overloaded.	Set a higher temperature. Reduce the amount of food.
The oil does not heat up	The deep fryer has been used without oil in the bowl, tripping the thermal safety device.	Contact the Service Centre (the device should be replaced).
