• The oil and fat are inflammable; if these substances catch fire, immediately disconnect the appliance from
the power point and dampen the fire using the lid or a blanket. Never use water to extinguish the flames.
• When removing the bowl, always wait for the oil or fat to cool completely.
• Materials and accessories coming into contact with food conform to EC regulation 1935/2004.
• When opening the lid, take great care to avoid hot steam and splashes of boiling oil.
• Appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control
system.
• Keep these instructions.
THERMAL SAFETY DEVICE
The appliance is fitted with a thermal safety device that stops the appliance from heating in the event of incor-
rect use or irregular operation. Once the appliance has cooled, using a toothpick or similar, delicately press
the safety device reset button (Z) 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 (D) will pre-
vent the appliance from operating unless the control unit (U) 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 (S) by lif-
ting it upwards.
• If oil is used, pour it into the bowl (R) until reaching the maximum level indicated (see Fig. 3). Never
exceed this limit, as oil may overflow from the container. The level of oil must always be between the maxi-
mum and minimum limits (F). For best results, use good quality peanut oil.
• If lumps of fat are used, cut the lumps into pieces and melt them in another container, then pour the lique-
fied fat into the deep fryer bowl. Never melt the fat in the basket or on the deep fryer heating element
(see Fig. 4).
PREHEATING
• Place the food to be fried in the basket (S), without exceeding the maximum level indicated on the basket
(fig. 8). Check that the handle of the basket is correctly positioned (pos. 2 in Fig. 2).
• Connect to the mains supply. Both lights (B) and (C) come on.
• Move the thermostat knob (A) (see fig. 5) to the required temperature (see cooking table), the oil tem-
perature light (green) (C) comes off.
• When the set temperature is reached, the green light (C) comes on.
FRYING
• As soon as light (C) comes on, lower the basket (S) into the oil very slowly to avoid the hot oil splashing
or overflowing.
• A significant amount of steam will be released: this is completely normal.
• When the set cooking time has elapsed, lift the basket (S) and check that the food has been cooked to the
required colour.
• If the food is completely cooked, turn the appliance off by moving the thermostat knob (A) to the “•” posi-
