Shake frozen food to remove excess pieces of ice away from the deep fryer. For crispier frozen chips, wash them in cold water and dry them carefully.
•Place the frying basket on the edge of the bowl and leave the handle in the horizontal position.
•Put the lid back on the fryer.
Cooking
Lowering the basket
•When the oil has reached the correct temperature, the ready light (green) comes on and the control unit beeps.
•Press the handle unlocking button and fold the handle very slowly into its housing to lower the basket into the oil - fig.10. Plunging the basket too rapidly in the oil may cause it to overflow.
•Press the CONFIRM button. The timer will start to count down.
•You can modify the cooking time during the cooking by pressing the + or – buttons.
•During cooking, it is normal for the temperature light to go on and off.
For your security, if no food is put into the oil after the ready light has come on, the control unit will turn off the appliance after 30 minutes. Regardless of the recipe, food must be dried thoroughly before frying. This will prevent the oil from splattering and/or overflowing and will extend the life of the oil.
When the fryer is in use, some parts will be extremely hot and can cause severe burns. Steam coming from the filter is also extremely hot - fig.11. Only touch the knobs and handles of the fryer for your safety.
For crispy fried food, remove the lid as soon as you have finished cooking to prevent steam.
At the end of cooking time
Frying is complete when:
•The timer sounds, indicating the cooking time has elapsed and the food is the desired colour and texture.
•If you wish to continue cooking after the time has elapsed, add some cooking time by pressing the + button. The timer starts to count down.
•At the end of cooking time, switch off the fryer by pressing the CANCEL button.
•Lift the handle horizontally to raise the basket until you hear a "click" as it locks. Allow excess oil to drain by letting the basket remain on the hook for a moment.
•Remove the lid.
•Remove the basket.
•Serve the food.
•Put the lid on the fryer when it is not in use.
•To use a second time, correct the oil level if necessary, then follow the instructions from the beginning.
Switching off the deep fryer
•When you have finished frying, unplug the fryer.
•Allow the oil to cool completely in the fryer (approx. 3 hours).
•Move the fryer using the carrying handles.
Never move the fryer while the oil or fat is still hot.
