•Frozen foods have very low temperatures.
As a result they inevitably cause a
considerable drop in the temperature of the
oil or fat. To achieve a good result, we
advise you not to exceed the quantities
recommended in the following table.
• Frozen foods are often covered in ice
crystals which must be removed before
cooking. This can be done by shaking the
basket. Then immerse the basket very
slowly into the frying oil to avoid the oil
reboiling.
The cooking times are approximate and must be varied according to the initial temperature of
the food which is to be fried and according to the temperature recommended by the frozen food
producer.

overflows
Food does not
brown during
cooking
The oil does
not heat up
CAUSE
The anti-odour filter is saturated.
The oil has deteriorated.
The cooking liquid is unsuitable.
The oil has deteriorated and causes too
much foam.
You have immersed food which is not
sufficiently dry in the hot oil.
The basket has been immersed too
quickly. The oil level in the deep fryer is
over the maximum limit.
Oil temperature is too low.
The basket is over loaded
The deep fryer has previously been used
without oil in the fryer bowl, causing the
thermal safety device to break.
REMEDY
Replace the filters.
Replace the oil or fat.
Use a good quality sunflower or
vegetable oil oil.
Replace the oil or fat.
Dry the food well.
Immerse it slowly.
Reduce the amount of oil in the
fryer bowl.
Select a higher temperature.
Reduce a food quantity.
Contact the Service Centre (the
device must be replaced).
WARNING: Before immersing the basket, check that the lid is firmly closed.
(*) This is the recommended quantity to achieve excellent frying. It is naturally possible to fry a larger amount
of chips, but you should bear in mind that in this case they will end up being a little greasier because
of the sudden drop in the oil temperature at the time of immersion.
