Preheating
• After the bowl has been filled with oil, put the lid on the fryer and plug in the
appliance without the frying basket.
• Turn the fryer on by pressing the On/Off switch and adjust the temperature to
the required setting (see the cooking tables p. 5) - fig.7.
• Turn the timer knob clockwise and set it to 20 minutes - fig.8.
• The fryer will begin to heat up the oil and the indicator light will turn to red.
• Note: The temperature indicator light will turn to green when the temperature
has been reached.
Loading the basket
• Remove excess water, ice or frost from food.
• Fill the basket before placing it in the deep fryer. Do not overfill the basket.
Reduce the quantities for frozen foods -
fig.9.
• Remove the lid.
• Place the frying basket on the edge of the bowl and leave the handle in the
horizontal position.
• Put the lid back on the fryer.
Cooking
Lowering the basket
• When the oil has reached the correct temperature, the light turns to green.
• Note: the light is green when the preset temperature has been reached ONLY
IF the timer is set to a time and not to “0”.
• Press the handle unlocking button and fold the handle very slowly into its
housing to lower the basket into the oil - fig.10. Plunging the basket too
rapidly in the oil may cause it to overflow.
• Turn timer knob to desired time.
• During cooking, it is normal for the temperature light to alternate between red
and green.
At the end of cooking time
Frying is complete when:
• The timer sounds, indicating the cooking time has elapsed.
• The food is of the desired colour and texture.
• Lift the handle horizontally to raise the basket until you hear a "click" as it locks.
• Allow excess oil to drain by letting the basket remain on the hook for a
moment.
• Remove the lid.
• Remove the basket.
• Serve the food.
• Put the lid on the fryer when it is not in use.
• To use a second time, correct the oil level if necessary, then turn the timer knob
to the desired time and wait for the temperature indicator light to turn to green
again before lowering food into oil.
Cut food into similar-sized
pieces so that they cook
evenly. Avoid using pieces
that are too thick. Shake
frozen food to remove
excess pieces of ice away
from the deep fryer.
For crispier frozen fries,
wash them in cold water
and dry them carefully.
When the fryer is in use,
some parts will be
extremely hot and can
cause severe burns. Steam
coming from the filter is
also extremely hot - fig.11.
Only touch the knobs and
handles of the fryer for your
safety.
The timer signals the end of
cooking and automatically
turns the appliance off.
For crispy fried food, remove
the lid as soon as you have
finished cooking to prevent
steam.
Place the fryer:
- on a steady surface
- out of the reach of
children
- away from water or heat
sources.
The timer knob must be
set to a time otherwise the
oil will not heat up and
remain hot while cooking.
Never operate your fryer
without any oil or fat in
the bowl.
Regardless of the recipe,
food must be dried
thoroughly before frying.
This will prevent the oil
from splattering and/or
overflowing and will
extend the life of the oil.
