Operating features
Lid
The lid may be removed for cleaning by first
pulling it up into a vertical position, then
closing it slightly and pulling it out.
Inspection window
The inspection window is helpful when
monitoring the frying process. To prevent
condensation from water vapour, a little oil
should be applied to the inside of the
window.
Frying container
Fill level:
During the pre-heating phase, the oil level
must be between the minimum and
maximum marks, which can be found inside
the container.
The maximum capacity of the container is
approx. 1.2–1.5 litres.
Before filling the container with the required
quantity of oil, the frying basket should be
removed.
Types of oil or fat to be used:
We recommend the use of vegetable oil or
fat specifically intended for deep-frying
which may be safely heated to a temperature
of 220º C and has a neutral taste.
Do not mix different kinds of oil or fat.
Frying basket
The basket is designed to hold the food to be
fried.
Always fit the handle to the basket before
use. To attach the handle, press the two
together and insert the angled pieces into the
corresponding openings (diagram I). Then
press the rods together again to lock them
behind the tabs (diagram II).
Indicator lights
The red main indicator light remains lit as
long as the appliance is connected to the
mains.
The green light comes on once the pre-set
temperature level has been reached.
As soon as the temperature falls below a
certain level, heating will resume and the
green indicator light will go out.
Temperature control
The temperature control knob sets the
temperature to the desired level.
Before using for the first time
Before the appliance is connected to the
mains, it should be cleaned as follows:
The frying container and the inside of the lid
should be wiped with a damp cloth. Remove
the frying basket and wash it thoroughly in
hot water. To prevent any water from
mixing with the oil, all parts must be
thoroughly dried.
Fill the container with approx 1.5 litres of
vegetable oil/fat.
