Informaon on the operaon of VITO
4.2 Safety instrucons
• VITO is NOT approved for ltraon of liquids other than frying oil.
• DO NOT use or store VITO outdoors! Damage due to rain or moisture.
• VITO is NOT designed for connuous operaon! (Risk of overheang/re).
• Children are strictly prohibited from using VITO!
• DO not cover the venlaon slots (12)!
• DO NOT touch the power cord (10) and control unit (8) with wet hands!
• DO NOT pinch or bend the power cord (10)!
• Avoid the power cord (10) to come into contact with hot oil or other hot objects.
• Operate VITO only on protecon class I connecons (with protecve earth contact).
• Clean VITO before inial use (see chapter 10 Cleaning).
• The local voltage must match the voltage on the type plate (16).
• The maximum operang temperature is 200°C / 392°F (recommended frying temperature 175°C / 347°F).
• DO NOT run the pump-lter unit (11) while dry!

• Observe the safety instrucons. Filtraon is only possible when the oil is liquid.
• VITO should only be used by appropriately trained personnel.
• VITO is only designed for intermient operaon.
No liability will be accepted for improper use!
5. Safety funcons
5.1 Tilt and vibraon protecon
If VITO is placed inclined more than 17°, lts or vibrates too much due to a defect or incorrect placement, VITO will immediately
stops o the ltraon. The power indicator (1) and the lter indicator (2) ash and a repeang acousc signal sounds.
5.2 Acousc signal
Aer the boot-up, a short acousc signal sounds. VITO is then ready for operaon. At the end of each ltraon cycle, an acousc
signal sounds for 5 seconds. The acousc signal can be deacvated (see chapter 6 Geng started).
5.3 Overtemperature
In case of overheang (control unit >75°C / 167°F), VITO stops the ltraon process.
The power indicator (1) ashes and VITO emits an acousc signal.
Remove VITO from the fryer and store it (see chapter 8 Storage / cooling me).
6. Geng started
6.1 Filtraon me
The factory seng of the ltraon me is 4 min. 30 sec. Up to 16 ltraon cycles are possible directly one aer the other.
6.2 Checking the factory sengs
1. Press and hold the Start / Stop buon (5).
2. Plug in the power cord (10). Meanwhile, hold the Start / Stop buon (5).
3. Hold the Start / Stop buon (5) for 5 seconds. VITO emits an acousc signal and lter indicator (2) lights up briey.
4. Release the Start /Stop buon (5).
5. The programmed ltraon cycle me is indicated by the ashing of the LEDs.
6. The power indicator (1) shows 1 minute per ash
7. The lter indicator (2) shows 30 seconds per ash
e.g.: 4x red = 4 min.
1x green = 30 sec.
= ltraon me: 4 min. 30 sec.
6.3 Oine programming
6.3.1 Adjusng the ltraon me

2. Press Start / Stop buon (5) to extend the ltraon me by 30 seconds (starts at 0 sec.).
(e.g. press 3x for 1 min 30 sec. etc.)
3. When the desired ltraon cycle me has been set, wait unl the lter indicator (2) lights up briey and an acousc signal
sounds.
4. Unplug the power cord (10).
6.3.2 Turning the acousc signal on/o
To adjust the volume of the signal, follow the instrucons in chapter 6.2 Checking the factory sengs, then:
1. Wait unl the lter indicator (2) lights up briey and a short acousc signal sounds
2. Press Start / Stop buon (5) to adjust the signal.
3. The LEDs show the status:
Power indicator (1) = Sound o
Power indicator (1) + lter indicator (2) = Sound on
4. When the desired seng has been made, wait unl the lter indicator (2) lights up briey and a acousc signal is audible.
5. Unplug the power cord (10).
