INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
FILLING WITH OIL OR FAT
• Raisethebasket“F”tothehighestpositionbypullingthe
special“A”handleupwards(g.1).
The lid should ALWAYS be closed when the basket is raised
and lowered.
• Openlid“C”bypressingbutton“O”(g.2).
• Removethebasketbypullingitupwards(g.3).
• Pourintothecontainer1.2litres/33oz.ofoil(or1kg./2.2lb
of fat).
WARNING: The level must always be between the maximum
and minimum levels indicated.
Neverusethedeepfryerwhentheoilisbelowthe“min”levelas
it could cause the thermal safety device to come into operation;
to replace it you need to contact one of our service centres.
Best results are obtained by using a good peanut oil. Avoid mi-
xing dierent types of oil. If you use lumps of solid fat, cut them
into small pieces so that the deep fryer does not heat up in the
rst few minutes without a covering of fat. The temperature
must be set to 150°C / 300°F until the fat has melted complete-
ly.The required temperature can then be set.
STARTING TO FRY
1. Put the food which is to be fried into the basket, without
everoverllingit(max.1kg./2.2lboffreshpotatoes).
In order to obtain a more even frying, we recommend con-
centrating the food especially around the perimeter of the
basket., leaving the central part more sparingly lled.
2. Put the basket into the boiler pan in a raised position
(g.3)andclosethelidbypressinglightlydownuponit
until the hooks click. Always close the lid before lowering
the basket in order to avoid hot oil from splashing out.
3. Plugintothemainssocketandsetthermostatknob“N”to

the oil, lowering the handle slowly after sliding the han-

IMPORTANT: the minute timer does not turn the appliance o.
REPLACING THE MINUTE TIMER BATTERY FIG. 5
• Removetheminutetimer fromitshousing byprisingit
fromthelowerside(seeg.5A).
• Turn the battery cover on the back of the battery anti-
clockwise(g.5B)untilitcomesfree.
• Replace the battery with another of the same type
(L1131).
When replacing or disposing of the appliance, the battery must
be removed and disposed of according to current legislation as
it represents a hazard to the environment.
AFTER FRYING
When the cooking time runs out raise the basket and check if
the food has reached the required golden colour. In the models
tted with a viewing window this check can be carried out by
looking through the window without opening the lid.
If cooking is complete, turn o the appliance by turning the
thermostatknob tothe“O”positionuntiltheinternalswitch
clicks. Drain excess oil by leaving the basket inside the deep
fryer for a while in the high position.
FILTERING THE OIL OR FAT
We recommend that you carry out this procedure each time you
have nished frying as, especially when the food has been bre-
aded or oured, the food particles tend to burn if they remain
in the liquid thus causing much quicker deterioration in the oil
or fat.
Checkthattheoiliscoolenough(waitingabout2hours).
1. Removethelid(g.6)andtheremovablepan“P”,holding
itbythehandle“Q”(g.7).Emptythepan(g.8).
2. Remove any residues from the pan using a sponge or ab-
sorbentpaper.Puttheremovable pan“P”back intothe
pan housing.
3. Place the basket in the high position and put the lter in
thebottom(g.9).Filterscanbeobtainedfromyourdea-
ler or an authorised service centre.
4. Pour the oil or fat into the deep fryer very slowly to avoid
thelteroverowing(g.10).
IMPORTANT: Once the oil has been ltered, it can be kept inside
the deep fryer. However, if the deep fryer is not to be used again
for some time, you are recommended to keep the oil in a closed
container to avoid it deteriorating. It is good practice to keep oil
used to fry sh separately from oil used to fry other foods.When
using fat, do not allow it to cool excessively or it will solidify.
MAINTENANCE OF THE ANTIODOUR FILTER
Removable lter: over time, the anti-odour lter inside the lid
loses its eciency.You are therefore recommended to replace it
after every 10/15 frying sessions. To replace, remove the plastic
ltergrille(g.11/12).
CLEANING
Before cleaning, always remove the plug from the electrical
socket. Never immerse the deep fryer in water or hold it under
the tap.
By getting inside the water would cause short circuiting.
Checkthattheoilissucientlycold(waitabout2hours),then
empty outthe oilorfat aspreviouslydescribed inthe paragraph
headed“lteringtheoilorfat”.
Remove the lid as shown in g. 13.
The lid is removable, to take it o, proceed as follows: push the
lidback(seearrow“1”g.13)andatthesametime,liftitup
(seearrow“2”g.13).
Always remove the lter before immersing the lid in water.
Tocleantheremovablepan“P”,proceedasfollows:
• Removeitfromthepanhousingandwashwithhotwater
and washing up liquid or in a dish washer, use a soft cloth
with a neutral detergent, never use objects or abrasive de-
tergents.
• Rinseanddrythoroughly.Ifwashedinadishwasher,make
sure it is positioned in such a way as to avoid scratching
the non-stick coating.

• Afterremovingtheremovablepan“P”,drytheinsideof

soft damp cloth to eliminate any splashes or drips of oil or
condensation.
• Cleananddrythesealtoavoiditstickingtothepanwhile
the appliance is not in use. If it does become stuck, to open
the lid, just raise it with the hand while at the same time
holding down the open button.
COOKING HINTS
HOW LONG THE OIL OR FAT LASTS
The oil or fat must never go below the minimum level. From
time to time it is necessary to renew it completely.
The length of time the oil or fat lasts depends on what is fried.
Breading, for example, dirties the oil more than simple frying.
As for all types of deep fryer, the oil deteriorates if it is reheated
several times!Therefore, even if it is used and ltered correctly,
we recommend replacing it completely fairly often.
Since the deep fryer works with little oil, due to its rotating ba-
sket, there is the considerable advantage that you only have to
get rid of about half the amount of oil that you would with the
other deep fryers on the market.
HOW TO FRY CORRECTLY
• Itisimportanttofollowtherecommendedtemperature
for every recipe. If the temperature is too low, the fried
food absorbs oil. If the temperature is too high a crust
quickly forms on the outside while the inside remains un-
cooked.
• Thefoodwhichistobefriedmustonlybeimmersedwhen
the oil has reached the right temperature, i.e. when the
signal lamp goes o.
• Donotoverllthebasket.Thiswouldcausethetempe-
rature of the oil to drop suddenly, resulting in fried food
which is too greasy and not uniformly fried.
• Whenfryingsmallquantitiesoffood,thetemperatureof
the oil must be set lower than the temperature indicated
to avoid the oil boiling too violently.
• Checkthatthefoodisthinlyslicedandofeventhickness,
as food which is too thick cooks badly on the inside, despi-
te looking nice, while food of an even thickness reaches
the ideal cooking point all at the same time.
• Drythefoodcompletelybeforeimmersingitintheoilor
fat,aswetfoodbecomessoggyaftercooking(especially
potatoes). It is advisable to bread or our food which has a
highwatercontent(sh,meat,vegetables),beingcareful
to remove the excess bread or our before immersing it in
the oil.
