IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

NOTE

•Do not use the fryer without oil. The

fryer will be severly damaged if heated dry.

• This fryer has a thermal cut-out, thus

preventing overheating.

• Plug cord into a 120 volt AC outlet.

• If your product is provided with a polarized

alternating current plug (a plug having one

blade wider than the other), this plug will fit

into the power outlet only one way. This is a

safety feature. If you are unable to insert the

plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the

plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact

your electrician to replace your obsolete

outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of

the polarized plug.

• Before using the fryer for the first time, wash

the aluminum pot and basket thoroughly with

hot soapy water, carefully dry the aluminum

pot to maintain its attractive finish.

• Should the fryer leak, contact your nearest

Service Center or authorized Dealer for

qualified assistance.

• To assure safe operation, oversized foods or

utensils must not be inserted into the fryer.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce

the risks resulting from being entangled in or

tripping over a longer cord.

573653 GB 5-12-2000 09:37 Pagina 6

FILLING THE BOWL

• Raise the basket into its upper position by

lifting upwards on the handle (Fig. 1).

• Push down on the Sbutton (Fig. 2) and open

the lid.

• Remove the basket by pulling it up (Fig. 3).

The cover must ALWAYS be closed

whenever the basket is raised or

lowered.

• Pour 2 lt. (1,8 qt.) of oil into the bowl (or

approx.1,8 kg./3,6 lb fat).

The level of oil in the bowl must

always be between the minimum and

maximum marks.

The maximum level mark should never

be exceeded.

For best results use a good peanut seed oil.

Olive oil is optimal due to its slower degradation,

but prolonged use accentuates its flavour. Above

all, avoid mixing different oils.

If using blocks of solid fat, cut into small pieces to

avoid fryer heating dry in the first few minutes. It is

also advisable to place thermostat on

150°C/300°F during initial heating-up phase.

Melt solid fat directly in pot. Only when

completely melted, should the basket be lowered.

PRE-HEATING

1. Place the food to be fried in the basket. Do not

overfill the basket (maximum 1 kg/2lb of fresh

potatoes).

2. Replace the basket in the bowl in the raised

position and close lid by lightly pushing down

until catch snaps shut.

3. Set the sliding thermostat control (R) (fig. 4) to

the desired temperature (see enclosed table).

When the selected temperature is reached, the

control light will switch off.

FRYING

1. As soon as the pilot lamp switches off,

move the handle slider in the handle (L)

backwards, then move the handle downwards

to lower the basket into the oil.

•A considerable quantity of steam

will escape from the filter cover,

when the basket is lowered into the

oil. This is perfectly normal.

•It is also normal for drops of

condensation to fall from the lid

onto the plastic sides and around

the basket handle while in use.

• When basket is lowered into the oil, the

inside of the inspection window (if

provided) will immediately become steam

up. This steam will disappear gradually as

the food is cooked.

Grease the glass door with a little oil before

cooking to reduce the accumulation of

condensate and thereby improve visibility.

2. With models having an electronic timer (F),

you may set whatever cooking time you

desire. If the timer comes with a battery

protection tab (I), pull the tab out slightly to

allow the equipment to operate and then

proceed as follows:

• Press the ON/START push-button (H): the

timer will come on and the figures will start

to flash;

• Press the +min button (G) until the desired

setting is obtained;

• By pressing the ON/START (H) button, the

timer will start the count displayed. The

figures will stop flashing and the decimal

point will start to flash instead.

• If an error is made, the count is cancelled

by pressing push-buttons Gand H

simultaneously: in this way the timer is reset

at zero.

• Once the cooking time has elapsed, an

audible signal is given (to stop the signal,

simply press one of the two pushbuttons).

The audible signal indicates that the

programmed cooking time is over, but

the appliance is still operating.

• The timer switches off automatically 20

seconds after the audible signal has been

given.

The electronic timer may be removed from the

equipment for your easy use (see fig. 16).

END OF FRYING TIME

When the selected frying time is elapsed, raise the

basket and check that food is golden brown as

desired. This can be done without opening the lid

in models with window.

When the food is completely cooked, switch the

appliance off by setting the thermostat control to

“Off” until the switch is heard to click off. Leave

the contents to drip for a moment and then open

the lid and remove the basket without shaking it

too vigorously.

If frying is to be done in two phases (e.g.

potatoes), do not open lid; wait for

indicator light to go off and lower basket

again (see enclosed table).

FILTERING OF OIL OR FAT

It is advisable to filter the oil or fat after frying in

order to remove any food particles, especially if

the food is coated in breadcrumbs or flour. Food

particles remaining in the oil tend to burn, which

causes the oil to deteriorate more quickly.

For models fitted with a drainage tube

Proceed as follows:

1. Place the appliance so that the drainage tube

is over a sink (fig. 7). For safety, do not place

the fryer near the edge of a counter top but

rather the edge of a sink.

2. Raise the lid of the fryer and remove the

basket. Check that the oil is sufficiently

cool (about 2 hours).

3. Open the panel (O) as shown in fig. 5.

4. Turn the internal safety panel as shown in fig.

6, and remove the drainage tube.

5. Pull the cap, allowing the oil to drain from the

aperture on the underside of the tube (fig. 7)

6. Drain the oil into a suitable receptacle (fig. 7).

7. Use a sponge or a paper kitchen towel to

remove any deposits from the bowl.

8. Push the cap back into position in order to

close the aperture on the underside of the

tube.

9. Replace the drainage tube in its compartment.

Do not forget to replace the cap.

10.Place one of the filters supplied with the

appliance in the bottom of the basket (fig. 8).

Spare filters can be obtained from your dealer

or from our Service Centres.

11.Pour the oil very slowly into the basket,

ensuring that it does not overflow from the

filter (fig. 9). Remove the paper filter and

dispose.

573653 GB 5-12-2000 09:37 Pagina 8

Note: After filtering the oil, it can be left in the

fryer. However, should a long period of

time pass between one frying and the next,

it is advisable to store the oil in a closed

container, not exposed to direct light in

order to avoid its deterioration.

To drain the oil into the receptacle, remove

the drainage tube and proceed as shown

in fig. 10.

Oil used for frying fish should be stored

separately from oil used for other foods.

If fat is used for frying, this should

not be allowed to cool too much,

otherwise it may solidify.

For models without the drainage tube:

Proceed as follows:

1. Remove the lid (fig. 12) and carefully pour oil

or fat into a container as shown in fig. 11.

2. Replace basket in highest position and place

one of the supplied paper filters in the bottom

of the basket (fig. 8). Spare filters can be

obtained from your dealer or from our service

centres.

3. Pour the oil very slowly into the basket,

ensuring that it does not overflow from the

filter (fig. 9).

Note: After filtering the oil, it can be left in the

fryer. However, should a long period of

time pass between one frying and the next,

it is advisable to store the oil in a closed

container, not exposed to direct light in

order to avoid its deterioration.

Oil used for frying fish should be stored

separately from oil used for other foods.

If fat is used for frying, this should

not be allowed to cool too much,

otherwise it may solidify.

CHANGING THE ANTI-ODOUR FILTERS

After a time, the anti-odour filters fitted to the lid

tend to lose their effectiveness. When the filter

changes colour, this indicates that it must be

replaced (the filter may be inspected through the

opening Ein the lid). To replace the filter, remove

the anti-odour filter cap B, pushing on the filter

cap fastening hook A, as showned by the arrows

1 and 2. (fig. 13).

Proceed as follows to change the filters:

N.B: The white filter must be fitted, resting on the

metal surface (see fig.14). The colored

section must face upwards (or face the black

filter).

Refit the cap B, making sure that the hook

fastenings at the back have been fitted correctly,

as shown in fig.14.

CLEANING

Before cleaning, ensure the appliance is

unplugged.

Never immerse the fryer in water or

place under a tap, as water in contact

with electrical components may cause

electric shocks.

Always remove the filters before immersing the lid

in water.

Proceed as follows to clean the bowl:

•Allow the oil to cool for about two

hours, then drain the bowl as described in

“drainage of oil”.

• Remove any deposit from the bottom of the

bowl using a sponge or a paper towel.

• Wash the bowl with hot water and liquid

detergent. Rinse and dry carefully.

• Use the special cleaning brush supplied with

the appliance to clean the oil drainage tube (if

fitted) (fig. 15).

• Clean the basket regularly, taking care to

remove any particles that might have been

accumulated.

• The basket can be washed in a dishwasher.

• After frying, wipe the outside of the fryer with

a soft damp cloth in order to remove any oil

smears and condensation.

• Also, clean and dry the sealing gasket in order

to prevent it sticking to the bowl when the fryer

is not in use. (If the gasket sticks to the bowl,

open the cover with one hand while pressing

the aperture button with the other).

• Abrasive sponges or alcohol should not be

used to clean the small window (if fitted).

• Wash the moisture absorber (U) with warm

water at least every 5-6 times the fryer is used

If the fryer is not used for some time, make

sure that the sponge is clean before the

appliance is stored away, thereby avoiding

unpleasant odours.

REPLACING THE TIMER BATTERY (fig. 16)

(for those models so equipped)

• Remove the timer from its housing by pressing

firmly on the left side (1).

• Turn the battery cover on the back of the timer (2)

in an anti-clockwise direction until it comes off.

• Replace the battery.

Duration of oil or fat

When the oil level falls below the minimum mark, add

fresh oil. However, from time to time the oil should be

changed completely. The number of times the oil can

be used depends on the type of food you fry.

For example, the oil must be changed more often

if food coated in breadcrumbs is fried frequently.

The oil must be changed when:

• there is unpleasant odour

• the oil smokes when frying

• the oil becomes dark in color

• the oil foams excessively when frying

For perfect frying

• The recommended temperature should be

selected for each recipe. If the temperature is

too low, the food will absorb oil. If the

temperature is too high, the food will crisp too

quickly, leaving the inside underdone.

• The food to be fried should not be

lowered into the oil until the correct

temperature has been reached (i.e.

when the pilot lamp switches off).

• Do not overfill the basket. Too much food in

the basket lowers the temperature of the oil

suddenly, with the result that the food will be

greasy and unevenly-fried.

• Check that the food is sliced thinly and evenly.

Thick slices will not be fried throughout,

although they will look very attractive on the

outside. If the food is evenly sliced, each slice

will be perfectly fried at the same time.

•Be sure to dry the food carefully before

frying. Damp foods - especially potatoes - remain

soggy after frying. Foods with a high water content

(e.g. fish, meat and vegetables) should be dipped

in breadcrumbs or flour. Remember to shake off

any excess flour or breadcrumbs before frying.

COOKING SUGGESTIONS

1. Choose a good quality cooking oil.

Not all types of fat can be used for deep frying, as it

must be resistant to high temperature. Butter burns

long before reaches the temperature required for

deep frying. Olive oil is generally considered to be

too strongly flavored. You will obtain the best results

by using a good quality corn oil or blended

vegetable oil, as they are bland and do not burn

easily. If you have a preference for cooking in a

solid vegetable fat, this should be melted before

placing food in the fryer.

2. Watch the oil level.

Each time you use the fryer, check the oil level

carefully and strictly maintain this level between

the maximum and minimum markers on the inside

of the fryer container.

3. Make sure that the foods to be fried

are not too thick and are of equal size

Cut food into even-sized pieces so that it all cooks

at the same speed. If the pieces are too thick, the

food does not cook properly on the inside even

though it may look attractively browned on the

outside.

4. Dry the surface of the food well.

If the food is left damp after preparing, it stays limp

and will not turn crisp (especially french fries). Food

containing large amounts of water (fish, meat,

vegetables) should be coated in seasoned flour or

breadcrumbs before deep-frying.

5. Deep-fry at the correct temperature.

Always wait until the pilot light goes out before

lowering the food into the oil. The cooking oil is then

at the correct temperature, never deep-fry too much

food at the same time (particularly if frozen), as the

temperature falls dramatically and the food is not

sealed.

6. Take care that the oil does not spill

over.

Never load the basket with too much food. Lower

the basket slowly into the oil. Do not drop - this

could cause the oil to spill over.

7. Drain the food while hot.

Once the food has been deep-fried, it must always

be carefully drained while it is still hot. Then place

the food absorbent paper towels to absorb as

much of the oil as possible.

8. Keep the cooking oil clean and change

when necessary.

Each time you use the fryer, remove any scraps of

food which flake off. (This is particularly necessary

when a breadcrumb coating has been used, because

crumbs detach and then burn and darken the oil.

Moreover, there is grater risk of the oil catching fire if

the scraps are allowed to accumulate. Filter the oil

carefully (see instructions on page 8) when necessary.

Change the oil after using the fryer 5 to 8 times, or as

soon as it begins to show signs of deterioration (e.g.

browning, smoke or a pronounced flavor).
