Thank you for choosing this electric deep fryer.To get the best results from
your deep fryer it is advisable to read these instructions before using the
appliance. This is the only way to ensure optimum results and maximum
safety.
Operating instructions
Pour the oil into the bowl: 2 litres maximum capacity (1.8 kg of fat).
WARNING:The level of oil should always be between the maximum and
minimum marks.
Never use the deep fryer with the oil below the "min" level as this could
cause the thermal cutout to trip.To replace it, contact an authorised ser-
vice centre.
For best results, use good quality peanut oil.
If you are using solid fat, cut into small pieces to avoid the deep fryer heating up
without liquid for the first few minutes.
The temperature must be set to 150°C until the fat has melted completely.You can
then set the required temperature.
Starting frying
Plug into the mains socket and turn the pointer to the required temperature.
When the thermostat light goes out, lower the basket (containing the food) into
the oil and close the lid. Do not overfill (1 kg max. of fresh potatoes). Immediately
after the basket has been lowered, it is normal for a considerable quantity of very
hot steam to be given off from the filter and drops of condensation to form near
the basket handgrip.
At the end of the cooking time, raise the basket and check the degree of cooking.
Frying non-frozen food
• The food being fried must not be immersed in the oil until the oil has
reached the correct temperature and the light has gone off.
• Never over fill the basket This could cause a sudden drop in the temperature
of the oil and therefore greasier and less uniform frying.
• Check that the food is cut into thin, even pieces. If the food is too thick, it will
not be well cooked inside.
• When cooking food in batter, you should first immerse the basket empty.Then,
when the set temperature has been reached (the light goes out), immerse the
food directly in the hot oil to avoid the batter sticking to the basket.
• Dry the food thoroughly before immersing it in the oil or fat as moist
foods will be less crispy after cooking (especially potatoes). Foods with a high
water content (fish, meat, vegetables) should ideally be coated in breadcrumbs
or flour before frying. Make sure to remove excess flour or breadcrumbs befo-
re immersing the food in the oil.
