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. The temperature must be set to 150°C/300°F until the fat has melted completely. The required temperature can then be set. 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 (P) (fig. 3) 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 (G) 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. For models with viewing window, grease the glass door with a little oil before cooking to reduce the accumulation of condensate and thereby improve visibility. • Never move the appliance while the oil is still hot. •To move the appliance, use the special lifting handles (L). (Never lift by the basket handle). IN THE MODELS FITTED WITH THE ELECTRONIC MINUTE TIMER 1. Set the cooking time by pressing key “N”; display “M” will show the minutes set. 2. The figures will begin flashing immediately afterwards, signifying that the cooking time has started. The last minute will be visualised in seconds. 3. In the event of error, the new cooking time can be set by keeping the button pressed down for more than 2 seconds. The display will reset itself, then repeat as for point 1 (above). 4. The minute timer will show the end of the cooking time with two series of beeps at an interval of about 20 seconds. In order to switch off the audible alarm you only need press minute timer key “N”. WARNING: the minute timer does not switch the appliance off. Replacing the minute timer battery (fig.4) • Remove the minute timer from its compartment by prying it from the upper side (see fig. 4A). •Turn the battery cover (fig. 4B) placed on the back in an anticlockwise direction until it is released. • Replace the battery with another of the same type. • Remember to dispose of the battery in accordance with the laws currently in force regarding the disposal of toxic products. 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” 6 D6 16-01-2003 16:07 Pagina 7 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. For two-stage frying (e.g. potatoes), lift the basket at the end of the first stage, wait for the indicator light to go off and then lower the basket into the oil a second time (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. Raise the lid of the fryer and remove the basket. Check that the oil is sufficiently cool (about 2 hours). 2. Open the panel (Q) and remove the drainage tube (R)as shown in fig. 5. 3. Remove the cap (fig. 6). Take care to pinch the end of the tube with two fingers so that the oil does not drain until the tube has been placed in a receptacle. 4. Drain the oil into a suitable receptacle (fig. 6) 5. Use a sponge or a paper kitchen towel to remove any deposits from the bowl. 6. Replace the drainage tube in its compartment. Do not forget to replace the cap. 7. Place the filter supplied with the appliance in the bottom of the basket (fig. 7). Spare filters can be obtained from your dealer or from our service centres. 8. Pour the oil very slowly into the basket, ensuring that it does not overflow from the filter (fig. 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, n...
