COOKING
Lowering the basket
• After the oil ready indicator light turns on, very gently lower the basket into the oil - fig 10. Lowering
it too quickly could cause the fryer to overflow - Wait for one minute with the lid open - fig 11 then
close the lid - fig 11a.
• During cooking, it is normal for the oil ready light to switch on and off.
Do not place your hand above the filter system - fig 12, or over the viewing window.
The steam and the glass will be hot. Do not touch the fryer walls which may also be hot.
At the end of cooking
• Set the thermostat to the minimum position.
• Unplug your fryer.
• Press the lid unlock button to open and allow the steam to escape for around 30 seconds - fig 13.
• Raise the basket and hook it onto the edge of the bowl. Leave to drain for 30 seconds - fig 14.
• Close the lid when the fryer is not in use.
• To cook more food, add oil as required, set the thermostat to the required temperature, wait until
the oil ready light comes on before placing the new food in the oil.
For crispy fried food, open the lid as soon as you have finished cooking to prevent steam from
softening the food.
The lid cannot be closed while the basket is hooked on the edge of the bowl.
Loading the basket
• Dry the food to remove any excess water or ice.
• Fill the basket before placing it in the fryer.
• Do not overfill the basket.
• Reduce quantities for frozen food.
• Tip: Cut food to the same sized pieces so that it cooks evenly. Avoid pieces that are too thick.
Never exceed the maximum safety limit – fresh products 200 g / 7 oz, frozen 300 g / 10 ½ oz. To
avoid overflowing and extend the life of the oil, dry the food carefully before cooking it. There is
a MAX plate on wall of basket, never exceed the line.
CLEANING
Filtering and Storing the oil
• You may store the oil in the fryer, or in a separate airtight container.
• Crumbs that break away from foods tend to burn and alter the quality of the oil more rapidly. Over
time, this increases the risk of catching fire. For this reason, filter the oil regularly.
• To be sure to get good oil after filtering, it is recommended not to filter all the oil contained in the
bowl, but to throw away all the crumbs that have stagnate at the bottom of the bowl.
Leave the fryer with the oil in the bowl to cool completely before filtering the oil (2 hours).
Changing the oil
• Do not pour used oil into the sink. Allow it to cool, and throw it away with household waste-
according to the local community regulations - fig 16 and fig 16a.
We recommend changing the oil after a maximum of 8 uses. - fig 15.
