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.

ONCE YOU HAVE FINISHED USING THE
APPLIANCE:
- Select the minimum position (MIN) using the
thermostat control.
- Unplug the appliance from the mains.
- Put the cable back in the cable housing.
- The cable housing means you can remove and
have available the required length of cable for
working with the appliance, preventing accident
risk situations.
- Close the lid.
CABLE COMPARTMENT
- This appliance has a cable compartment situat-
ed on its posterior.
CARRY HANDLE/S:
- This appliance has a handle on the upper
part of the body, which facilitates comfortable
transportation.
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 con-
sists 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

button, situated at the back of the electrical
circuit, with the tip of a pen or similar in order to
reactivate the appliance (Fig.?).
