Instructions for use

Before use:

-Make sure that all the product’s packaging has been removed.

-Before using the product for the first time, clean the parts that will come into contact with food in the manner described in the cleaning section.

Oil filling:

-Open the cover

-Ensure that the electrical equipment is appropriately positioned.

-Pour oil up to the mark indicating the MAXIMUM level on the bowl (Fig.1).

-The appliance must not be used with less oil than that indicated by the MINIMAL mark.

Use:

-Unroll the cable completely before plugging it in.

-Connect the appliance to the mains.

-Turn the appliance on using thermostat adjustment control

-The power on indicator light comes on.

-Select the desired frying temperature using the thermostat control. The heating indicator light will turn red, 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

beforehand. 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 heating indicator light has gone out which will indicate that the appliance has reached an adequate temperature.

-During the appliance’s use the heating indicator light will come on and off automatically, indicating the heating elements are working, and therefore maintaining the desired temperature.

-Slowly place the basket in the bowl to avoid overflowing and splashing. Fry with the lid open or closed, as required.

-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 (Fig. 3)

-Empty the basket.

-Change the oil approximately every 15 or 20 frying operations, or every 5 – 6 months if not used frequently.

Once you have finished using the appliance:

-Select the minimum position (MIN) using the thermostat control.

-Unplug the appliance from the mains.

-Close the lid.

-Clean the appliance.

Practical recommendations:
