OIL FIRE
– IMPORTANT: If the oil catches fire suffocate the flames
immediately using the fryer cover.
– Never use water, because this would cause the flames to
become worse.
USE OF THE COVER
– Wait for the oil to cool down before covering the fryer with the
cover.
To position the cover correctly fold the basket handle inwards
(fig. 1.9 and 1.10 - arrow "A').

CHANGING THE FRYING OIL
– Keep an eye on the oil level, which must never drop below
the minimum.
– The oil should be changed regularly.
– The length of time the frying oil lasts depends on the type of
food to be fried; as compared with normal frying, if the food
is floured, for example, there will be more deposits in the oil
and it should therefore be changed more frequently.
– If during cooking the oil smokes or smells bad it should be
changed completely.
EMPTYING THE TRAY
– The try is emptied when the oil is cold.
– To take out the tray raise the heating element and lift the tray
by pressing with the fingers inside where studs are provided.
– For easier oil emptying hold the tray tightly and tip the oil out
at one corner.
If you use frying fats which solidify raise the heating
element before the fat solidifies.
Look out for drops of hot oil when raising the heating
element and dry them off immediately.

CLEANING THE FRYER
– Before cleaning the fryer switch it off and wait for it to cool
down.
– Clean the outside with a cloth wetted with hot water and soap
or water and liquid detergent, being careful not to dirty the tray
oil. To make cleaning operations easier remove the oil tray.
– Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned with special products
available on the market.
– All the enamelled parts must be cleaned with a sponge and
soapy water only or other non-abrasive products.
– Do not use steel pads or products which are abrasive, corro-
sive or chlorine based.
– Do not leave acid or alkaline substances (vinegar, salt, lemon
juice etc.) on the fryer surfaces.
– The oil tray and the basket can be washed in the sink, but they
are better washed in the dishwasher.
– Clean the heating element very carefully using a dry cloth or a
cloth damped just with water. Be very careful not to move the
temperature probe.
– Be very careful that no water penetrates inside the appliance.
Do not use steam jet cleaners because the humidity could
infiltrate into the appliance making it dangerous.
