Filtration, drainage and automatic
storage of oil/shortening
Your fryer is fitted with an exclusive and patented system
for filtration and automatic drainage, suitable for most
types of oils and shortenings used for cooking.
• The drainage of oil is completely automatic and safe.
• The automatic patented filtration system ensures your
oil/shortening stays clean and lasts longer for healthier
frying.
• The Oil box container enables you to store your oil and
keep it until next use and to avoid any transfer of
flavors.
Ultra easy cleaning
Your fryer is easy to handle and to dismantle.
• All the parts (except the control unit) are dishwasher
safe.
• Thanks to the patented automatic filtration and oil
storage system, your fryer can go into the dishwasher
after each use, making it clean as new after each use.
Using the Oil box container
control button
The Oil box control button has 3 positions.
•Fry Position: to fry.
•Automatic Oil Filtration Position: to drain and filter
the oil into the oil box.
•Oil box Position: to allow for removal of the oil box
container.
Before first use
The fryer can be completely dismantled (apart from
the control unit).
• Remove the lid. Remove the frying basket, the
control unit and the bowl. Remove the oil box by
positioning the Oil box control button on the Oil
box position. Fig. 5
• Clean the lid, the bowl, the housing, the frying
basket and the Oil box with soap and water or put
them in the dishwasher. Fig. 6
Do not immerse
the control unit
with the heating
element in water.

• Clean the control unit separately with a sponge.
• Dry thoroughly.
• After cleaning, press on the filtration valve under
the fryer to release any water in the bowl. Fig. 7
• Position the bowl and the control unit. Fig. 8
• Place the Oil box control button on the Oil box
position and insert the empty Oil box into the fryer.
Fig. 9
• Turn the control button to the Fry position. Fig. 13.
• Completely unfold the basket handle; a “click”
indicates that it is correctly positioned. Fig. 10
Preparing the fryer
• Ensure that the oil box is in place and empty.
• Place the Oil box control button on the Fry
position.
• Fill the bowl with oil. We recommend that you use
oil.
• The oil level should always be between the MIN
and MAX level of the bowl. Fig. 11.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line as boiling oil
may overflow during frying and can cause severe
burns.
• For best results we recommend vegetable oil.
• If you use solid vegetable shortening (not
recommended): Cut it into small pieces, melt it in
a separate pan then pour the melted shortening
into the fryer bowl.
Oil Solid vegetable fat
Max. 14 cups / 3.5 L 6.55 lbs / 2970 g
Min. 12 cups / 2.8 L 5.55 lbs / 2520 g
Check that the
filtration valve has
been reset to its
initial position.
Make sure that the
control unit is cor-
rectly positioned
otherwise the fryer
cannot function.
Never use different
types of oil at the
same time as this
may cause the oil
to overflow.
Never melt the
shortening on the
heating element
or in the frying
basket. However,
we do not recom-
mend the use of
solid vegetable fat.
If you melt the
shortening on the
heating element
or in the frying
basket, the safety
cut-out would be
activated. Press
the “reset” button,
which is located at
the back of the
fryer.

Frying process
• Ensure that the oil box control button is set to the
Fry position Fig. 2.
• After the bowl has been filled with oil, plug in the
fryer without the frying basket. Set the On/Off
switch button to position 1 and the temperature
indicator light will switch on. Turn the adjustable
thermostat to the desired temperature (see
cooking tables).
• The fryer will now start to heat the oil.
• Note : the temperature indicator light will switch
off when the desired temperature is reached.
• Place food in the basket without overfilling. Notice
the MAX food level marking on the basket.
Reduce the quantities for frozen foods.
• After the temperature light has turned off, place
and lower the basket slowly into the frying oil.
Plunging the basket too rapidly in the oil may
cause it to overflow.
• Put the lid on the fryer.
• Frying is complete when the cooking time has
elapsed and food is the desired color and texture.
• Remove the lid carefully to avoid condensation
(drops of water) dripping into the oil.
• Allow excess oil to drain by hooking the basket on
the support on the inner bowl, (Marker 6).
• Do not cover the basket with the lid.
• Serve.
• When you have finished frying foods, set the
On/Off switch on the O position.
• Unplug the appliance and let it cool for about 3
hours. For filtering and draining the oil, see the
section on Cleaning and Maintenance.

Maximum safety
capacity 2.65 lbs / 1.2 kg (in 2 batches) 2 lbs / 900g
Recommended
capacity 1.3 lbs / 600 g 1 lb / 450g
No matter what
the recipe, food
must be dried
thoroughly before
frying. This will
prevent the oil
from overflowing
and extend the life
of the oil.
During cooking, it
is normal for the
temperature light
to go on and off.
Do not touch the
fryer when it is in
use as it will be
extremely hot and
can cause severe
burns.
Steam coming
from the filter is
also extremely hot.
Do not plug in the
fryer without oil.

Cooking tables
The cooking times are a guide only. They could vary
depending on quantity, taste, electricity supply etc...
• It is important to fry hand made French fries
twice for best results and to prevent the oil from
overflowing:
- a first cycle at 320 °F/160 °C
- a second cycle at 374 °F/190 °C
• For safety and for the crispiest results, dry food
items thoroughly before frying, especially frozen
foods and freshly made fries.
• Never pour frozen food directly from the packet
into the basket or over the oil box.
• Large pieces of chicken or large fries need a
longer cooking time.
• Set the temperature thermostat according to
the table below, or follow the instructions on
food packaging.
• Cooking tip: To prevent food from sticking
together, do not use the basket when cooking
battered foods or doughnuts.

We recommend that you:
- clean your oil after each use to avoid burnt crumbs
- change your oil regularly.
For quality and fast cooking, limit the quantity of French
fries to 1/2 a basket at a time.

all kinds of oils (or solid shortenings) (in filtering
position) when it is cool enough (approximately 3
hours after the last cooking).

lever to the Automatic oil filtration position. Fig.
12.
• Once the filtration is finished, you can store the
container :
- In the appliance: Turn the Oil box control lever
on Fry position. The appliance must be carried
and transported flat. Fig. 13.
- Out of the appliance : Turn the Oil box control
lever to the Oil box position and then remove
the container. Transport it with care. Fig. 14.
• Store oil in a cool dry place, ideally at room
temperature.
•To re-use the oil, remove the container with care.
• Unscrew the oil box cap and empty the oil in the
fryer bowl.
