4.2.4 Frying
Prior to frying, remove as much moisture as possible from the foodstuffs with a twofold
purpose: to prevent oil from overflowing due to foam build-up and to avoid excessive hot
oil splashes. Total weight of product to be cooked should not exceed 1.5 kg in 10-litre
tanks (models 73) and 2.5 kg in 15-litre tanks (models 72 and 74).
• Use the thermostat to set the desired cooking temperature; the ideal temperature is
180°C (356°F).
• Place the products into the basket; fill the basket to 1/3 or 1/2 (maximum load) of
its full capacity.
• Shake frozen products well before dipping them into the oil.
• Lower the basket into the oil.
• When product is ready, lift the basket and hang it from the basket support to allow
excess oil to drip away.
Always monitor oil quality during operation. Overused oil can be recognized by its typical
dark colour, viscosity and tendency to smoke even at low temperatures.
Never leave the appliance unattended while in use.
4.2.5 Switching off the appliance
