INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
FILLING WITH OIL OR FAT
•Raise the basket to the highest position by pulling the special “B” handle upwards (fig.1).
The lid should ALWAYS be closed when the basket is raised and lowered.
•Open lid “D” by pressing button “V” (fig.2).
•Remove the basket by pulling it upwards (fig.3).
•Pour into the container 1.2 litres of oil (or 1 kg. of fat).
WARNING
The level must always be between the maximum and minimum levels indicated.
Never use the deep fryer when the oil is below the “min” level as it could cause the thermal safety device to come into operation; to replace it you need to con- tact one of our service centres.
Best results are obtained by using a good peanut oil. Avoid mixing different types of oil. If you use lumps of solid fat, cut them into small pieces so that the deep fryer does not heat up in the first few minutes without a covering of fat. The temperature must be set to 150°C until the fat has melted completely. The required tem- perature can then be set.
STARTING TO FRY
1.Put the food which is to be fried into the basket, without ever overfilling it (max. 2,2 lb. of fresh pota- toes).
In order to obtain a more even frying, we recom- mend concentrating the food especially around the perimeter of the basket., leaving the central part more sparingly filled.
2.Put the basket into the bowl in a raised position (fig.3) and close the lid by pressing lightly down upon it until the latchs click.
3.Set thermostat knob “U” to the required temperature (fig.4). When the temperature set has been reached, signal lamp “T” will go off.
4.As soon as the signal lamp goes off, immerse the basket in the oil, lowering the handle slowly after sliding the handle’s “C” slider back.
•It is completely normal for a considerable amount of very hot steam to pour out of filter cover “F” imme- diately after this.
•At the start of cooking, immediately after the food has been immersed in the oil, the internal wall of viewing window “E” (where present) will steam up, before progressively clearing.
•It is normal for drops of condensation to form around the basket handle while the appliance is working.
In the models fitted with the electronic minute timer
1.Set the cooking time by pressing key “O”; display “N” will show the minutes set.
2.The figures will begin flashing immediately after- wards, signifying that the cooking time has started. The last minute will be visualised in seconds.
3.In the event of error, the new cooking time can be set by keeping the button pressed down for more than 2 seconds. The display will reset itself, then repeat as for point 1 (above).
4.The minute timer will show the end of the cooking time with two series of beeps at an interval of about 20 seconds. In order to switch off the audible alarm you only need press minute timer key “O”.
WARNING: the minute timer does not switch the appli- ance off.
Replacing the minute timer battery (fig.5)
•Remove the minute timer from its compartment by prying it from the right side (see fig.5A).
•Turn the battery cover (fig.5B) placed on the back in an anticlockwise direction until it is released.
•Replace the battery with another of the same type.
