Bravetti EP85 manual At The End Of The Cooking, Filling the Frying Basket, Frying Food

Fig. 12

Filling the Frying Basket

•Make sure that the basket is raised to the up position by turning the basket lifting knob counter-clockwise.

•Place the food in the frying basket. Do not overfill it and never exceed the maximum quantities. For optimum results and shorter frying time, basket should be only 1/2 to 3/4 full.

•The basket has approximately 2 Lbs. food capacity. It will hold 4-5 average size pieces of chicken.

•Do not fill the basket more than 1/2 to 3/4 full with frozen food.

IMPORTANT: When frying frozen foods such as french fries, you should not exceed 1.25 Lbs.

(625 gr.). For healthy, crisp results limit quantity to 1 Lb. (500 gr.) or less.

•Damp food must be dried thoroughly before frying.

•Remove any loose ice from frozen foods before frying.

•Follow instructions on frozen food packages to determine whether to cook food frozen or thawed.

Frying Food

Warning: Do not touch any metal parts on the deep fryer because they may be hot.

•Always use the frying basket to fry food.

•Always close the lid during frying.

•When oil is pre-heated, yellow light will go off to indicate desired temperature is reached.

•Slowly turn the basket lifting knob clockwise to lower the basket into the hot oil. Lowering the basket too quickly can result in the oil overflowing and splashing.

•Slowly close the lid.

•It is normal for steam to escape through the sides of the lid while frying. Avoid standing too close to the deep fryer while it is working.

Warning: When opening the lid after frying, first release the lid by pressing the lid opening latch, then wait to allow steam to escape before opening the lid completely.

•Set timer for desired frying time. Frying time varies with the amount, type and thickness of the food to be fried. See table for guidance (section 5). However, please note that experience is ultimately the best guide. We therefore recommend carefully opening the lid and raising the basket from time to time to check the progress.

•If the food is fried to your satisfaction before the pre-set period elapses, you can switch off the timer by turning the timer setting dial (#8) to the left. You can add a few minutes to the pre-set time by turning the timer setting dial (#8) to the right.

4. AT THE END OF THE COOKING

Warning: When you have finished frying, always turn timer setting dial to “0” and temperature setting dial to lowest position and unplug the deep fryer. Do not touch any metal surfaces as they may be hot.

•Set temperature setting dial (#7) to lowest position, (turn fully counter- clockwise).

•Set timer dial (#8) to “0” (turn counter-clockwise).

•Unplug the main cord from the wall socket.

•Release the lid (#12) by pressing on the lid opening latch (#10) Fig. 12, then wait to allow steam to escape before opening the lid completely.

•Turn the basket lifting knob (#9) to raise the frying basket and allow the food to drain for a minute.

• Remove the basket handle (#2) from storage place and attach securely to the frying basket, then

lift the frying basket and remove the food. Make sure the basket handle is securely attached to the frying basket before lifting.

Warning: Always let the deep fryer cool completely (approximately 2 hours) before cleaning or storing. Never carry or move the deep fryer with hot oil inside.

•Wind main cord around holder in the back before storing.
