Use:

♦ Connect the appliance to the mains.
♦ Remove the basket and assemble the handle, making it

♦ Prepare the food to be fried and place it in the basket,
making sure that it does not rise above ¾ of its capacity.

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 oper-
ations, or every 1 – 2 months if not used frequently.

the frying process, avoid to reach dark brown colours on
