The cooking temperature is not being
reached.
The control unit is not correctly
positioned.
The safety cut-off is activated.
The basket was lowered too quickly.
Cooking freshly made fries at
356°F/374°F -180°C/190°C for the first
fry.
The « MAX » marker for filling the bowl
has been exceeded.
The frying basket has been overfilled
with food.

water (frozen food).
Pieces are too thick and contain water.
Too much food is being cooked at the
same time and the cooking oil is not at
the right temperature.
The temperature of the frying oil may
not be high enough: the temperature is
set incorrectly.
Unwashed food immersed in hot oil.

vegetable oil.
Remove as much ice from the
frozen food as possible before
frying.
Experiment by lengthening the
cooking time or by slicing food
smaller and thinner.
Fry food in small quantities
(especially when frozen).
Set the thermostat control to the
recommended temperature.
