Preparation
Before using for the first time
• The fryer can be completely dismantled –
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.
• Clean the lid, the bowl, the housing, the frying basket –
the Oil box with soap and water or put them in the dishwasher.
Clean the control unit and the heating element with a damp cloth.
Dry thoroughly.
• After cleaning, press on the button under the fryer to release any
water in the bowl.
• Place the bowl and the heating element in position.
• Place the Oil box control button on the Oil box position and insert
the empty Oil box into the fryer.
• Completely unfold the basket handle; a "click" indicates that it is
correctly positioned –
Do not mix different
types of oil or fat as this
may cause the oil to
overflow.
The oil/fat level must
always be between the
min. and max. markers,
stamped inside the bowl.
Check this each time prior
to cooking and add some
of the same type of oil if
necessary.
Loading the basket
• Remove excess water, ice or frost from food.
• Fill the basket before placing it in the deep fryer (see the cooking tables
page 9) –
frozen foods.
• Cooking tips : Cut food into similar-sized pieces so that they cook
evenly. Avoid using pieces that are too thick. For crispier frozen
fries, wash them in cold water and dry them carefully. Not all frozen

foods are ready to use, check the manufacturer's instructions.

• Fill the bowl with oil –
• Never exceed the maximum level indicated in the bowl –
Min.
Max.
• For best results use oil recommended for deep frying: vegetable
oil, corn oil, canola oil, etc. 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 drippings.
• If you use solid vegetable oil, cut it into small pieces and melt it
in a separate pan –
Never melt solid fat on the heating element or in the frying basket.
