Filtration, drainage and automatic storage of oil/fat
Your fryer is fitted with an exclusive and patented system for filtration
and automatic drainage, suitable for most types of oils and fats used
for cooking.
• The drainage of oil is completely automatic and safe.
• The automatic patented filtration system ensures your oil/fat stays
clean and lasts longer for healthier frying.
• The Oil box container enables you to store your oil or fat and keep it
until you next want to use it and to avoid any transfer of flavours.
Ultra easy cleaning
Your fryer is easy to handle and to dismantle.
• All the parts (except the electrical control unit) are dishwasher safe.
• Thanks to the patented automatic filtration and oil storage system,
some parts of 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. Fig. 1
• Fry Position: to fry. Fig. 2
• Automatic Oil Filtration Position: to drain and filter the oil into the
oil box. Fig. 3
• Oil box Position: to allow for removal of the oil box container. Fig. 4
BEFORE FIRST USE
IMPORTANT
Do not immerse the control unit with the heating element in
water.
• To reset the fryer, push the RESET button (found
on the back of the control unit) with a toothpick or
similar non-metallic object after the bowl has been
filled with oil.
• If the overheating security feature is activated
several times, please contact the TEFAL Consumer
Service Department for assistance.

PREPARING THE FRYER
The fryer can be completely dismantled. Fig. 5
• 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. 9
• 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
• Clean the control unit separately with a damp cloth.
• Dry thoroughly.
• After cleaning, press on the 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
IMPORTANT
Check that the valve has been reset to its initial position.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the control unit is correctly positioned otherwise
the fryer cannot function.
• Ensure that the oil box is in place and empty.
• Place the Oil box control button on the Fry position. Fig. 2
• 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.

EN
IMPORTANT
Never melt the fat in the bowl or in the frying basket, otherwise
the safety cut-out will be activated.
Press the “reset” button, which is located at the back of the fryer.
FRYING PROCESS
Types of Oil to use:
• For best results we recommend using a good quality blended
vegetable oil. If using sunflower oil ensure the oil is changed every
5 uses. Oils which should NOT be used under any circumstances and
may cause overflowing/smoking/risk of fire are: ground nut oil, soya
oil, olive oil, lard or dripping.
• Follow the manufacturer’s cooking recommendations.
• If you use solid vegetable fat (not recommended): Cut it into small
pieces, melt it in a separate pan then pour the melted fat into the
fryer bowl.
• 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).
IMPORTANT
Do not plug in the fryer without oil.
IMPORTANT
Never use different types of oil at the same time as this may
cause the oil to overflow.
Oil Solid vegetable fat
(not recommended)
Max. 14 cups / 3.5 L 6.55 lbs / 2970 g
Min. 12 cups / 2.8 L 5.55 lbs / 2520 g

• Place the basket on a work surface and fill the basket with food,
without overfilling. Do not exceed 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.
• Set the cooking time (depending on model): for models with timer,
press the button to adjust the time minute by minute. Release. The
selected time is displayed and the countdown begins.
• Frying is complete when the cooking time has elapsed and food is
the desired colour and texture.

Maximum
capacity
2.65 lbs / 1.2 kg
(in 2 batches) 2 lbs / 900g

• The fryer will now start to heat the oil.
• Note : the temperature indicator light will switch off when the
desired temperature is reached.
IMPORTANT
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.

COOKING TABLES
The cooking times and temperatures are a guide only. They could vary
depending on quantity, taste, electricity supply etc...
• It is important to fry hand made chips 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 chips.
• Never pour frozen food directly from the packet into the basket or
over the oil box.
• Large pieces of chicken or large chips need a longer cooking time.
• Set the temperature thermostat according to the table below, or
follow the instructions on food packaging.
• Cooking tip: When cooking battered food and doughnuts, remove
the wire basket to prevent food sticking to it and use tongs to slowly
lower the food into the hot oil. Gradually place the food into the
hot oil, submerging it an inch at a time to prevent it from sinking
straight away.
• For models with timer :
• Remove the lid carefully to avoid any oil splashes, never let
condensation drops from the lid fall 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.
IMPORTANT
The timer (depending on model) signals the end of the cooking
time, but does not stop the appliance.

at a time.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
For your safety, the appliance automatically drains all kinds of oils
(or fats) (in filtering position) when it is cool enough (approximately
3 hours after the last cooking).

19
EN
When finished cooking, turn the Oil box control 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. Fig. 14 . Transport it with care.
• 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. Fig. 15.
• We recommend changing the oil/fat after a maximum of 10 to 12
uses.
• If using sunflower oil, ensure the oil is changed after every 5 uses.
IMPORTANT
To carry your deep fryer, use the handles - Marker 8. Do not use
the vents at the bottom of the housing.
IMPORTANT
Carry the container with both hands.
Store it in a cool dry place away from the light and especially
from humidity.
Never put the Oil box in the microwave oven.
Do not pour used oil in the sink. Leave it to cool, and throw it
away with household waste-according to the local community
regulations.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the oil container is empty before draining the fryer.
