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 “V”
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”, 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 contai-
ner. The level of oil must always be between the maxi-
mum and minimum limits, “D” (3 or 4 litres max.
depending on version). 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
• Place the food to be fried in the basket “Q”, without
overfilling (1 kg max. for the 3 litre version and 1.3
kg for the 4 litre version). Check that the handle of the
basket is correctly positioned (pos. 2 in Fig. 2).
•Move the thermostat knob “A” (see Fig. 6) to the
required temperature (see cooking table). The indica-
tor light "B" changes from green to red.
• When the set temperature is reached, the indicator
light "B" becomes green.
STARTING FRYING
• As soon as the indicator light "B" is green, lower the
basket "Q" 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.
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 envi-
ronment.
END OF FRYING TIME
• When the set cooking time has elapsed, lift the basket
“Q” 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 “•”
position. The indicator light is green.
• Unplug from the mains socket.
• Allow the excess oil to drain by hooking the basket
“Q” onto the support “E” on the bowl.
• N.B. 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 "Q" to the basket support "E"
and wait until the light becomes green, indicating that
the oil is again at the set temperature. Then slowly
place the basket “Q” in the oil a second time.
