!The steam coming from the lid, the glass and metallic parts are extremely hot.

•Lift the handle horizontally to raise the basket until you hear a “click” as it locks (fig. 6).

•Open the lid (fig. 7).

•Drain the food.

•Remove the basket, making sure that the rod comes completely out of the bowl (fig. 8).

•Close the fryer lid cover and then serve the prepa- red food.

To prepare for use a second time: - wait for the temperature indica- tor light to go out before lowering food into oil.

-adjust the oil level according to the quantity of food to be fried.
