Taurus FRY 3 Mode D'emploi page 8

- REMOVE the lid. This fryer is not designed to
fry with the lid on.
- Remove the basket and attach the handle by
pivoting until the rods engage in the housing.
- The pilot light (D) comes on.
- Select the desired frying temperature using the
thermostat control. The indicator light (E) will
turn on, indicating that the oil is being heated
(close the lid to save energy).
- Prepare the food to be fried and place it in the
basket, making sure that it does not rise above
¾ of its capacity. Allow the food to drain before
placing it in the basket.
- Frozen food must be allowed for thaw before-
hand. The placing of frozen food or food with
high water content in the basket may cause the
oil to suddenly spit after a few seconds.
- Wait until the pilot light (E) has gone out which
will indicate that the appliance has reached an
adequate temperature.
- Slowly place the basket in the bowl to avoid
overflowing and splashing.
- When the food has been fried sufficiently, lift
the basket and position it in the support in
order to allow the excess oil to drain from the
food.
- Empty the basket.
- Change the oil approximately every 15 or 20
frying operations, or every 5 – 6 months if not
used frequently.
- In order to minimize the generation of acryla-
mide during the frying process, avoid to reach
dark brown colours on the fried food, remove
any burnt leftovers from the oil container,
food rich in starch (such as potatoes or corns)
should not be fried at temperatures higher to
170ºC.
OIL DRANING POSITION
- When the food has been fried sufficiently,
remove the lid, lift the basket and hang it with
the hook in the tank in order to allow draining
the excess of oil from the food.
ONCE YOU HAVE FINISHED USING THE
APPLIANCE:
- Select the minimum position (MIN) using the
thermostat control.
- Unplug the appliance from the mains.
- Clean the appliance.
- Close the lid.
CARRY HANDLE/S:
- This appliance has a handle on the upper
part of the body, which facilitates comfortable
transportation.
PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS:
- Fry a few pieces of bread to remove the smell
of used oil.
- For food with a high-water content, it is better
and quicker to fry in two lots with less food than
in just one. This will reduce the risk of splashes
and spillage.
- The "two-stage frying method" can be used for
an even and crispy coating. This system con-
sists of first frying the food until it is reasonably
well done and then frying again using very hot
oil to brown the food.
- Olive oil with a minimum acidity level is recom-
mendable for frying.
- Do not mix different oils.
- Wash potatoes before frying to stop them from
sticking

- In the event of overheating, the thermal safety
mechanism will be activated and the appliance
will stop operating. When this occurs, the

button, situated at the back of the electrical
circuit, with the tip of a pen or similar in order to
reactivate the appliance (Fig.1).
