- 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 before-
hand. 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.
- Wait until the pilot light (D) has gone out which
will indicate that the appliance has reached an
adequate temperature.
- Slowly place the basket in the bowl to avoid
overflowing and splashing.
- 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 5 – 6 months if not
used frequently.
- In order to minimize the generation of acryla-
mide during the frying process, avoid reaching
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
be fried at temperatures lower than 170ºC.
ONCE YOU HAVE FINISHED USING THE
APPLIANCE:
- Select the minimum position (MIN) using the
thermostat control.
- Unplug the appliance from the mains.

CORD HOUSING
- This appliance has a cable compartment situa-
ted on its posterior.
CARRY HANDLE/S:
- The device has a handle on the upper part so it
can be transported easily and comfortably.
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.
- This will reduce the risk of splashes and spilla-
ge. 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 recom-
mendable 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 applian-
ce will stop operating. When this occurs the
appliance should be disconnected from the
mains and left to cool. Then press the rearming
button, situated at the back of the electrical
circuit, with the tip of a pen or similar in order to
reactivate the appliance (Fig.1)
