To prevent the element from overheating, it is imperative that the
oil level reaches the MIN marker and covers the element.
* Remove mains cord from its storage area, unwind it fully and
plug it in.
* Switch fryer on by turning button to position 'l'.
* Turn thermostat (clockwise) to required temperature. The red
indicator light comes on. The light goes off when the oil/fat reaches
the required temperature. Your fryer is ready to cook.
NB: if you use a solid fat instead of oil, our recommendations are as
follows.
When the fat is used for the first time, first melt it in a saucepan and
then pour the melted fat into the fryer. This is necessary because if fat
is solid it will not be in direct contact with the thermostat. This in turn
creates a risk of the element overheating and the thermal cut-out
triggering.
For subsequent uses, make a few holes in the re-solidified fat
(down as far as the element), set the thermostat to 150°C, leave it to
heat up (1 minute only), then leave it for a few minutes to cool down.
Repeat until the fat liquefies.
3 Thermal Cut-Out
Your LAGRANGE fryer is fitted with a thermal cut-out which prevents
any abnormal rise in temperature.
When the thermal cut-out is triggered, the fryer will no longer operate.
To use your fryer again, you must wait until the element cools down
then re-set the thermal fuse by pushing the RESET button.
This is situated at the rear of the control box, in the area
provided for stowing the cord under the upper surface.

4 Use
* Place the food (already wiped) in the basket.
* Preferably do not fill basket more than 2/3 full. This means that all
the food can be properly immersed in the oil and it also prevents
splattering.
Maximum recommended capacity:
1kg (Super PRO® model)
700g (Compact PRO® model)
* Lower basket into oil slowly to allow any
water present in the food to evaporate.
* Remove basket when cooking is finished.
* Place basket in draining position.
* Remove basket completely and turn food out onto serving dish.
Tips for use
_____________________________________________________________________
This appliance is designed mainly for cooking potatoes but you can
also use it to cook fritters, fish, etc.
Chef's secret:
Cook your chips the professional way – without the lid.
They will be crisper!
* For frozen foods, we recommend that they are cooked from frozen.
Use smaller quantities. Remove as much excess ice as possible.
* For fresh chips, it is better to rinse them in hot water to remove any
starch and dry them well before cooking.
* To avoid oil deteriorating too quickly, do not add salt to food while
it is cooking or when basket is over the bowl.
* Use a specialist deep-frying oil – it is designed to resist high
temperatures without deteriorating.
