MELTING function (see fig. 14)
The Melting function allows the oil to warm up without
any abrupt temperature increases, making the fryer work
cyclically.
This function is used in the winter when the oil may solidify
or when vegetable grease is used for frying.
Since the fryer works cyclically, the fryer melts the grease
without risking to burn it.
To activate the melting function, press the "E" button down
for few seconds; the red "F" LED will start flashing and the
fryer will start working cyclically until the temperature
reaches 100°. After that, the fryer will automatically run in
the continuous operation, bringing the oil temperature to
the set value.
The Melting function can be enabled and disabled any
time by pressing down the "E" button for a few seconds.
If the Melting function is activated before the fryer
EN
is switched on, then the frying will raise the oil to a
temperature of 100° C and maintain this temperature.
To return to a continuous operation, press the "B" arrows
and the fryer will start warming up the oil up to the set
temperature.
APPLIANCE CARE
WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The oil level must always be kept between the levels of
minimum and maximum.
Never turn the fryer on if the oil level is not correct.
Change oil frequently: never continue to use oil when it is
brown and its viscosity increases.
Never fill the basket more than 50% of its capacity, so that
cooking will be fast and the use will be safe.
When the basket is placed in the tank, a rapid formation of
foam is visible, that is due to contact between hot oil and
the water in food. If foam is excessive, lift the basket up and
re-immerse it in order to make the foam disappear.
When food is fried, some particles can come off, the
largest particles deposit on the grid and the smallest go to
the bottom. To prevent the deposits from circulating and
burning, remove them periodically. The drain operation
must be carried out when oil is cold and after the residuals
have decanted.
WARNING FOR THE USE OF SOLID FATS (LARD)
In the event that lard is used, some dangerous situations
can be created due to lard and the fry tank overheating.
Therefore, melt lard gradually according to the following
methods:
remove the basket, the tank net and introduce the solid
lard.
Operate the unit at its maximum power for about 1 minute;
after this period, place the unit in the pilot position again.
When in contact with the hot flame tubes, lard will start
melting.
Wait for a few minutes so that the lard will melt gradually
without overheating. Put the unit back to the maximum
position for another minute and then come back to the
MOD.

liquefy and re-position the tank net and basket. Only when
lard is completely in a liquid state and in a correct amount
can the fryer be used.
WARNINGS ABOUT USING HOT OIL
The following are forbidden:
• Overheating the oil.
• Using the fryer improperly.
• Changing the oil when the fryer is hot.
• Using inflammable solvents for cleaning.
• Filling the tank incorrectly (above or below the levels)
• Putting damp, undrained food or water into the hot oil
REMOVAL OF DEPOSITS
After having decanted, and with cold oil, remove the net
by the handles and keep it horizontal, moving slowly so
that the largest residuals will stay in place.
a) For gas top fryers (fig.8) (GL 8B - GL 8+8B - GL 8M -
GL 8+8M - GL10B - GL 10+10B - GL 30B - GL 30M). Before
opening the draining tap (6), insert the tube(15) into the
hole (5) according to the figure. Then, position a tank or a
bucket with a capacity of at least 12 l under the drainage
tap, open the lever (6) after lifting up the pin (14).
After draining, close the tap by rotating the level (6) and
remove the tube (15); carry out the operations in the
reverse order.
b) For models with a cabinet (fig.9) Make sure that the
supplied bucket (9) is inserted under the drain (8) and turn
the drain butterfly valve in order to open the tap.
CLEANING
ATTENTION!
- Allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning
- Turn off the disconnecting switch in the event the
appliance is supplied by electricity.
Giving the appliance a thorough cleaning every day will
keep it in perfect working order and make it last longer.
All steel parts should be cleaned with a dish detergent
diluted in very hot water, using a soft cloth; to remove
stubborn dirt, use ethyl alcohol, varnish remover or another
non halogen solvent; do not use abrasive powder or
corroding detergents, such as hydrochloric/muriatic
or sulphuric acid. The use of acids can compromise the
functionality and safety of the appliance.
Do not use brushes, steel wool or abrasive pads made
with other metals or alloys that might leave traces of rust.
For the same reason, avoid touching the appliance with
anything made of iron.
Pay attention to use steel wool pads or stainless steel
brushes that do not cause rust but may cause damaging
scratches. If the appliance is extremely dirty, do not use
emery or sandpaper.
As an alternative, we recommend using a synthetic sponge
(for example, the Scotchbrite sponge).
Do not use substances used to clean silver and pay
attention to hydrochloric or sulphuric acid that might have
