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 “U” marked RESET (see Fig.
1). If the appliance does not start operating again, con-
tact 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 bot-
tom 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 “C” will not
allow the appliance to be operated if the control unit “Z”
is not correctly positioned in the casing “L”.
The deep fryer is now ready for use.
FILLING WITH OIL OR FAT
• Remove the cover "O" by lifting it by the handle. Turn
the folding handle of the basket until it locks into place
(pos. 2, Fig. 2). Remove the basket “Q” by lifting it
upwards.
• Remove the length of cable required to connect the
appliance to the mains, from the cable compartment
“S” (see Fig. 3).
• If oil is used, pour it into the bowl “P” 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, “D” (max. 4 lt. - min. 2,850 lt.). 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. 5).
• Close the cover “O”.
PREHEATING
• Move the switch “V” to position 1 (see Fig. 6). The
light on the switch will turn on.
• Place the food to be fried in the basket “Q”, without
overfilling (max 1.3 kg of fresh potatoes). Check that
the handle of the basket is correctly positioned (pos.
2 in Fig. 2).
•Move the thermostat knob “A” (see Fig. 7) to the
required temperature (see cooking table).
• When the set temperature is reached, the light “B” will
turn off.
STARTING FRYING
• As soon as the light goes off, place the basket “Q”
into the oil, lowering it very slowly to prevent the hot
oil from spraying or overflowing.
•A significant amount of steam will be released: this is
completely normal.
• It is normal during frying for steam to be released
from the cover and condensate to drip form the edge
of the cover.
• To avoid the risk of burns, never place your hands
above the filter on the cover or above the deep fryer
when frying. Before opening the cover completely,
open it slowly to release the steam from the side.
SETTING THE TIMER (if featured)
Press the button “G”; the display will show “OO”. Keep
the button “G” pressed until the required time is shown
on the display. The set time can range from 01 to 99
minutes.
Once the required time has been set, release the button
“G”. The display will start counting down:
•from 99 to 01 minutes, the display will count down
minute by minute;
•from 01 minutes on, the countdown will be in
seconds.
An audible signal will indicate the end of the set time; to
switch off the audible signal, simply press the timer but-
ton “G”.
To change the setting of the timer, reset it by holding the
button “G” for a number of seconds.
The timer signals the end of the set time, but does not
stop the appliance.
To replace the battery, access the inside of the casing
“L”, proceeding as follows:
• Remove all the deep fryer components;
• Unscrew the two screws that support the timer;
• Remove the timer being careful not to let go of the but-
ton;
•Turn the battery cover in an anticlockwise direction
until it is released.
• Replace the battery with another of the same type;
To re-insert the timer, perform the same operations in
reverse.
When either replacing or disposing of the appliance,
the battery must be removed and disposed according to
the laws in force, in that it may damage the environ-
ment.
