THERMAL SAFETY DEVICE

The appliance is fitted with a thermal safety device that stops the appliance from heating in the event of incorrect use or irregular operation. Once the appliance has cooled, using a toothpick or similar, delicately press the safety device reset button (W) marked RESET (see Fig. 1). If the appliance does not start operating again, contact a service centre authorised by the manufacturer.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before using the deep fryer for the first time, carefully clean, using warm water and dishwashing detergent, the basket, the bowl and the cover. The control unit, power cable and heating element may be cleaned using a damp cloth. Check that water does not enter into the control unit and that there is no residual water in the bottom of the removable bowl. Carefully dry all the parts.

Check that the control unit is properly fastened to the deep fryer body. The safety micro-switch (H) will prevent the appliance from operating unless the control unit is correctly positioned (N).

FILLING WITH OIL OR FAT

• Turn the folding handle of the basket until it locks into place (pos. 2, Fig. 2). Remove the basket (I) by lifting it upwards.
• If oil is used, pour it into the bowl (K) until reaching the maximum level indicated (see Fig. 4). Never exceed this limit, as oil may overflow from the container. The level of oil must always be between the maximum and minimum limits (L). For best results, use good quality peanut oil.

PREHEATING

• Place the food to be fried in the basket (I), without exceeding the maximum level indicated on the basket (fig. 7). Check that the handle of the basket is correctly positioned (pos. 2 in Fig. 2).
• Connect to the mains supply. Both lights (E) and (F) come on.

PROGRAMMING THE DEEP FRYER

Use the “-/+” buttons (B) to set the temperature from 120°C a 190°C.

Pressing the button once increases or decreases the temperature by 5^ C.

Use the MODE (C) button to access the temperature or time settings.

Use the “-/+” buttons (B) to adjust cooking time from 0 to 60 minutes. Pressing the button once increases or decreases time by 30 seconds. After setting the temperature and time, press the ON/OFF button (D) (if the time has not been set, the deep fryer will not begin the heating process). The deep fryer begins the heating process. The red light (E) comes on. During this process, you can still modify temperature and cooking time using the “-/+” buttons (B) and the MODE (C) button to modify the selection.

When the appliance reaches the set temperature, the green light (F) comes on and the deep fryer emits two "beeps".

STARTING FRYING

• As soon as the green indicator light (F) comes on, lower the basket (I) into the oil very slowly to avoid the hot oil splashing or overflowing.
• Close the cover.
• Press the ON/OFF button (D). The display (A) shows a countdown of the remaining cooking time.

During this process, you can still modify temperature and cooking time using the “-/+” buttons (B) and the MODE (C) button.

At the end of the countdown the deep fryer emits three beeps. Lights (E) and (F) go off. The temperature goes back to 320^ F. The temperature returns to the value set previously. If the ON/OFF button (D) is not pressed, the appliance does not begin the countdown and after 30 minutes the preset settings are restored.

• A significant amount of steam will be released. This is completely normal.
• It is normal for steam to be given off from the cover and condensation to drip from the edge of the cover.
• To avoid burns, never put your hands above the cover filter or deep fryer itself while in use. Before opening the cover, lift it slightly to allow steam to escape from one side.

END OF FRYING

• At the end of the cooking time, the deep fryer emits three "beeps". Lift the basket (I) and check that the food has been cooked to the required colour.
• Unplug from the outlet:
• Drain excess oil by hooking the basket (I) to the support (M) on the bowl.
• Note: If cooking requires two phases or more than one cooking cycle is to be performed, at the end of the first phase, hook the basket (I) to the support on the bowl (M) and wait for the light to go out. Then slowly lower the basket (I) into the oil again.

LARD FUNCTION

This function is useful when you want to use lard instead of oil.

• Cut the lard into pieces and place them directly in the bowl (K).
  You are recommended to use the following quantities: MIN 1750 g; MAX 2750 g.
• Set the required temperature and cooking time, then press the button (G). "LF" appears on the display and the deep fryer starts melting the fat and bringing it to a temperature of 140°C. After about 15 minutes, the lard will be completely melted.
• The temperature now rises to the level set previously.
• As soon as the green light (F) comes on, lower the basket (I) into the melted fat very slowly to avoid it splashing or overflowing.
• Close the cover.
• Press the ON/OFF button (D). The display (A) shows a countdown of the remaining cooking time.

During this process, you can still modify temperature and cooking time using the “-/+” buttons (B) and the MODE (C) button.

At the end of the countdown the deep fryer emits three beeps. Lights (E) and (F) go off. The temperature returns to the value set previously. If the ON/OFF button (D) is not pressed, the appliance does not begin the countdown and after 30 minutes the preset settings are restored.

• A significant amount of steam will be released. This is completely normal.
• During frying, it is normal for steam to escape from the cover and condensate to drip from the edge.
• To avoid burns, never put your hands above the cover filter or deep fryer itself while in use. Before opening the cover, lift it slightly to allow steam to escape from one side.

HOW LONG THE OIL OR FAT LASTS

The level of oil or fat must never fall below the minimum. Every now and then it must be completely changed. The life of the oil or fat depends on what foods are being fried. Food coated in breadcrumbs, for example, dirties the oil more than simple frying. As for any deep fryer, the oil deteriorates after being heated a number of times! Therefore, even if used correctly, it should be completely changed on a regular basis.

FRYING NON-FROZEN FOOD

Never overfill the basket, as this may cause a sudden drop in the temperature of the oil and thus greasier and less uniform frying. Check that the food is sliced into thin, even pieces. If the slices are too thick, the food will not be well cooked inside, despite its appearance, while even slices will be perfectly cooked at the same time. Carefully dry the food before immersing it in the oil or fat, to avoid oil being sprayed; furthermore, wet food will be less crisp after cooking (especially potatoes).

Foods with a high water content (fish, meat, vegetables) should be crumbed before frying, making sure the excess flour or breadcrumbs are removed before immersing the food in the oil.

When cooking food in batter, you should first immerse the basket empty. Then, when the set temperature has been reached, immerse the food directly in the hot oil to avoid the batter sticking to the basket.

When referring to the following table, please keep in mind that the cooking times and temperatures are approximate, and must be adjusted according to the quantity of food and personal tastes.

Food		Temperature (°C)	Time (minutes)
Fresh potato chips full portion		170°	11-15
Fish	Calamari	140°	9-13
	Canestrelli	140°	10-14
	Sardines	140°	10-14
	Prawns	140°	8-12
	Tongue-fish	140°	6-10
Meat	Pork cutlets	160°	8-12
	Chicken cutlets	160°	9-13
	Meatballs	160°	9-13
Vegetables	Artichokes	150°	13-18
	Cauliflower	150°	10-14
	Mushrooms	150°	8-12
	Aubergines	150°	9-13
	Courgettes	150°	13-18

FRYING FROZEN FOODS

Frozen foods are stored at very low temperatures. Consequently, they significantly lower the temperature of the liquid used for cooking. For optimum results, do not overfill the basket.

Frozen foods are often covered with a layer of ice; this ice should be removed before cooking. Immerse the basket in the oil very slowly to prevent the oil from boiling over.

The cooking times are approximate and must be adjusted according to the initial temperature of the food being fried and the temperatures indicated on the packaging of the food.

Food	Temperature (°C)	Time (minutes)
Pre-cooked frozen potato chips	190°	10-14
Potato croquettes	180°	7-10
Fish Fish-fingers	180°	3-6
Fish fillets	180°	2-5
Meat Chicken cutlets	180°	3-6

MODELS FITTED WITH OIL DRAIN TAP

CAUTION: to avoid the risk of burns, do not drain the oil or fat while hot.

Proceed as follows:

1. Remove the basket.
2. Open the cover (R).
3. Open the tap (Q) by turning it anticlockwise.
4. Run the liquid into a container (see the figure below), making sure it doesn't overflow.
5. Remove any deposits form the bowl using a sponge or tissue paper.
6. Close the tap by turning it clockwise.
7. Close the cover (R).
   It is good practice to separate the oil or fat used for frying fish from that used for frying other food.
8. If lard or fat is used, make sure it does not cool down too much, otherwise it will solidify.

CLEANING

Before cleaning, make sure that the power plug is disconnected.

Never immerse the deep fryer in water and never place it under running tap water (see Fig. 5). The infiltration of water into the control unit may cause electrocution. Check that the oil has cooled down, and then remove the control unit and drain the oil. Remove the deposits from the bowl using a sponge or absorbent paper.

Except for the control unit, power cable and heating element, all the other parts can be cleaned with warm water and dishwashing detergent (see Fig. 6). Never use abrasive sponges, to avoid damaging the deep fryer.

When this procedure has been completed, carefully dry all parts, to prevent hot oil from spraying out during operation.
