IMPORTANT NOTES
• Read through the instructions carefully before
using the appliance for the first time. Safeguard
them for future reference.
• Before plugging the appliance into the mains,
check that the voltage corresponds to that sta-
ted on the characteristics plate. Use an electrical
socket with an earth connection
• Never immerse the electrical parts in water or
any other liquid.
• Before filling the fryer with oil or fat make sure
that all of the pieces are completely dry and that
there is no water in the pan or on the heating
element.
• Never switch the fryer on before it has been
filled with oil or fat. The amount of fat or oil used
should always be between the minimum and
maximum marks. Check that there is still enough
oil or fat in the pan before any further frying.
• Only use oils and fats recommended for
fryers. When fresh fat/lard in blocks or pieces
is being used, melt it down in a saucepan be-
forehand and then pour it into the fryer before
switching it on.
• Do not overfill the basket as this may cause the
hot oil or fat to spill over the top of the fryer.
• Keep the fryer out of children's reach. Never
leave it unattended.
• The steam given off during frying is very hot.
Keep a safe distance away from this steam.
• Avoid moving the fryer while it is operating.
• Do not touch the hot surfaces. Use the handles
or controls.
• After use put the switch to the "O" position,
unplug the fryer from the mains and leave it until
it is cool enough to be moved.
• Always unplug the fryer when it is not in use
and before cleaning it.
• Never unplug it by tugging on the mains cable.
Never leave the mains cable hanging freely.
• Keep the fryer and the cable away from hot
surfaces.
• Never use the fryer for purposes other than
those stated in this manual.
• Do not use the fryer appliance if either the
cable or plug are damaged. Cable repairs and
replacements must be carried out exclusively by
an Authorised Technical Service Centre.
• NEVER USE THE FRYER WITH THE FRYER LID
FITTED ON.
• This appliance has been designed exclusively
for domestic use.

SAFETY
The fryer is equipped with a safety thermostat
that switches off the electric supply should it
become too hot. If this happens:
Leave the fryer to cool down
Carefully push the reset button back in with
the help of a small rod. This button, marked
"Restart", is found at the back of the control
panel, figure 1.
To prevent the plug from being damaged, store
the mains cable in the cable compartment.
The fryer is also equipped with a safety tri p
switch that stops the heating element from
working if the control module is not fitted into
its housing correctly.
Always keep children away from fryers when
they are switched on.
USE
Before using the fryer for the first time, wash the
basket, pan and lid in hot soapy water and then
rinse and dry them.
1. Always place the fryer on a flat, stable surfa-
ce. Uncoil the mains cable completely and make
sure that it does not come into contact with any
nearby sources of heat.
2. Use the plastic handle to lift off the lid.
3. Remove the basket.
4. Fill the pan with oil. The oil or fat level must
always be between the MIN (2 litres) and MAX
(2.5 litres) marks on the inside of the pan.
5. Plug the appliance in and press the ON switch
The ON lamp will light up, figure 2.
6. Select the correct temperature for the food to
be fried. When the thermostat pilot lamp comes
on, figure 3, this means that the oil has reached
the selected temperature.
7. Place the basket into the drain-off position, fi-
gure 4. Place the food to be fried into the basket.
Do not overfill the basket.
Slowly lower the basket with the food into the
oil, figure 5, NEVER PUT THE LID ON THE FRYER
WHEN FRYING.
8. After frying, switch the fryer off ("0") and
unplug the fryer from the mains supply.
9. Place the basket in the drain-off position.
Note: If various foodstuffs are to be fried, wait
for the oil to reach the set temperature between
fries. Always check the immersion level before
each use. The ideal oil level is somewhere bet-
ween the MIN and MAX limits marked on the
side of the frying pan.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Ufesa recommends the use of oil instead of fat
when using this appliance. Solid fat can also be
used but special precautions should be taken to
stop it from splashing when it is melting.
Do the following when using solid fat for frying:
1. Before the first fry, melt the fat for the fryer in a
separate saucepan on a low heat.
2. Pour the liquid fat into the fryer's pan. Avoid
splashing it.
3. Check that the liquid fat covers the minimum
level mark. Switch the fryer on and carry out
the frying.
When solid fat which has been used for frying
has solidified in the fryer, proceed in the follo-
wing fashion:
