● Check that the tension in force in the country where you are, corresponds to that
indicated on the apparatus.
● Connect the apparatus in a socket-outlet in good state, and connected to the
ground, to avoid any danger.

● Stand the appliance on a table or flat surface.
● Do not use or keep this product outside when it is raining.
● Certain parts of the appliance can get hot. Do not touch them, as you may burn
yourself.
● Never modify the appliance in anyway.
1. Make sure that the appliance is unplugged and switched off.
2. Take the lid off the deep fryer.
3. Remove the frying basket and fill the container with oil.
4. Put the lid back on.
If you use fat, divide it up into small pieces and place it on the floor of the deep frying
vessel.
Under no circumstances, you should place the fat in the deep frying basket!
5. Insert the plug into a 220-240V~ 50 Hz power socket. The red control lamp (3)
lights up. Set the thermostat (2) by turning it to the desired temperature.
6. Both control lamps are now on. Once the set temperature has been reached the
green control lamp goes off. The red control lamp remains on and indicates the
machine is working.
7. Take the lid off and put the frying basket with the food to be fried carefully into the
hot oil.
8. The green control lamp switches on and off several times during frying. This is
normal and it indicates that the temperature is controlled by the thermostat and is
being maintained. At the end of the frying time (the frying time is specified on the
package of the food or in the recipe) open carefully the lid (Warning! Hot steam may
be released!). Remove the frying basket.
9. Let the oil drip from the food being fried.
10. In order to switch off the machine, please turn the temperature regulator to OFF
and remove the plug from the socket.
Useful hints for use
1. Always remove the food remaining in the oil (e.g. pieces of French fries).
Change the oil after using it 8-10 times.
2. Deep frying fat must be capable of being heated to high temperatures. Use high
quality frying oil or frying grease. Do not use margarine, olive oil or butter: they are
not fit for frying, because they start to smoke already at low temperatures. In order to
reduce the acrylamide content of food containing starch (potatoes, cereals) the
temperature during deep-fat frying should not exceed 170° C (or possibly 175° C).
10

Furthermore, the frying time should be kept as short as possible and the food only
fried until it turns golden yellow.
Remove the frying basket and fill each tank, oil or fat. (3 litters maximum)
Notes : The filling level must be between the Min and Max marks.
If the electrical resistance is not positioned correctly, the fryer will not work
because it has a security system.
3. If necessary insert the control element into the guide mechanism so that it is fixed
firmly in place.
4. Choose the right frying temperature and check the conditions of the food to be
fried.
Note : A rule of thumb is that pre-fried foods require a higher temperature than raw
foods.
5. Do not carry or move the deep fryer if the oil or grease is still hot.
6. When frying dough-like foods scrape off the excess dough and put the pieces
carefully into the oil.
7. Please ensure that the handle on the deep-frying basket is locked in place. Do not
overfill the frying basket.
8. Rub dry humid foods with a cloth before frying. large amounts of foam may form,
which under certain circumstances may cause the oil to overflow.
9. After use, unplug the deep fryer.
NOTE : If you inadvertently turn on the fryer without has no oil or fat, inside, after a
few moments, the Anti-overheat safety will automatically fire and deep fryer
goes off. Wait for complete cooling of the unit before pressing the red reset
button "Restart", refill oil or grease before using the appliance again.
