OPERATION
• Before you use the fryer for the first time we recommend you to wash the
basket (10) and the vat (8). To do so, take the basket (10) out of the vat, lift
out the control panel (3) and take out the vat (8). You can wash the basket
and the vat either using soapy water or by putting them into the dish-
washer. Never wet the control panel (3). For operation, put all the elements
back in their place in reverse order, making sure that the panel guides match
the body guides.
• Place the appliance on a horizontal, flat, stable surface away from the
edges and do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of the table or work
surface or to come into contact with a hot surface.
• Pour the oil or liquid fat into the deep fryer and remember that the oil
level must be above the minimum and below the maximum. These levels
are indicated inside the vat.
• Place the basket handle (11) in the vertical position and squeeze the metal
rods into the basket support holes (fig. A). Next place the handle in the
horizontal position until it fits into the basket support.
• Plug in the fryer and press the I/O switch (5) to the "I" position. At this mo-
ment the orange pilot light (6) will come on. Turn the temperature control
regulator and select the desired temperature, depending on the food to be
fried. When the oil reaches the selected temperature, the green pilot light
(7) will come on, and the orange pilot light (6) will remain lit.
• Place the food in the basket (10) while the basket is out of the fryer.
• Gently put the basket into the fryer and place it in its frying position (fig.
b). When the food is placed inside the fryer the green pilot light (7) will
switch off, since the food causes the oil to cool due to the temperature dif-
ference, and it will come on again when the oil reaches the temperature
indicated on the temperature regulating control.
• The food should always be covered by the oil.
• Close the lid (1) over the fryer.
• After frying the food, open the deep fryer lid, lift out the basket and shake
it gently. Next, hook it into the draining position (fig. C) for the food to drain
off as much oil as possible.
• Once the food is drained, take the basket out of the deep fryer and empty
it.
• Place the temperature control at the minimum position and press the I/O
switch (5) to the "O" position. Then unplug the appliance.
• When the oil is cold, place the basket inside the fryer and turn the handle
towards the inside. If you were using solid fat, leave it to solidify in the vat
and store the deep fryer with the fat in it.
USE WITH SOLID FAT
If you use solid fat for frying (when not previously used), you must take the
following precautions:
