INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Before use:

Make sure that all the product’s packaging has been removed.
Before using the product for the first time, clean the parts that will come into contact with food in the manner described in the cleaning section.

Oil filling:

Open the cover
Ensure that the electrical equipment is appropriately positioned.
Pour oil up to the mark indicating the MAXIMUM level on the bowl.
The appliance must not be used with less oil than that indicated by the MINIMUM mark.

Use:

Extend the cable completely before plugging it in.
Connect the appliance to the mains.
Remove the basket and assemble the handle, making it pivot until the rods enter their housing.
Select the desired frying temperature using the thermostat control. The indicator light will turn red, indicating that the oil is being heated (close the lid to save energy).
Prepare the food to be fried and place it in the basket, making sure that it does not rise above ¾ of its capacity. Allow the food to drain before placing it in the basket.
Frozen food must be allowed for thaw beforehand. The placing of frozen food or food with high water content in the basket may cause the oil to suddenly spit after a few seconds.
During the appliance’s use the pilot light will come on and off automatically, indicating the heating elements are working, and therefore maintaining the desired temperature.
Slowly place the basket in the bowl to avoid overflowing and splashing. Fry with the lid open or closed, as required.
When the food has been fried sufficiently, lift the basket and position it in the support in order to allow the excess oil to drain from the food
Empty the basket.
Change the oil approximately every 15 or 20 frying operations, or every 1 – 2 months if not used frequently.
In order to minimize the generation of acrylamide during the frying process, avoid to reach dark brown colours on the fried food, remove any burnt leftovers from the oil container, food rich in starch (such as potatoes or corns) should not be fried at temperatures higher to 170ºC.

Once you have finished using the appliance:

Select the minimum position (MIN) using the thermostat control.
Unplug the appliance from the mains.
Close the lid.
Let the appliance cooldown.
Clean the appliance.

Carry handle/s:
♦ This appliance has a handle on the side of the body, which facilitates comfortable transport.
Practical recommendations:

Fry a few pieces of bread to remove the smell of used oil.
For food with a high-water content, it is better and quicker to fry in two lots with less food than in just one. This will reduce the risk of splashes and spillage.
The “two-stage frying method” can be used for an even and crispy coating. This system consists of first frying the food until it is reasonably well done and then frying again using very hot oil to brown the food.
Olive oil with a minimum acidity level is recommendable for frying.
Do not mix different oils.
Wash potatoes before frying to stop them from sticking

Safety thermal protector:
♦ In the event of overheating, the thermal safety mechanism will be activated and the appliance will stop operating. When this occurs, the appliance should be disconnected from the mains and left to cool. Then press the reset button (F), with the tip of a pen or similar in order to reactivate the appliance.
