plate at the base of the Versalio. If this is
not the case, turn the removable bowl
through a half-turn (the pouring lip of the
removable bowl should be at the back).
• Remove the appliance from its packa-
ging and unpack all the accessories.
• Turn the basket handle so that it locks
into the upright position - Fig. 1
• Remove the basket from the removable
bowl.
• Take out the documents and the protec-
tive film.
• Take out the removable bowl.
• Check that there is nothing (packing,
paper, etc.) stuck between the remo-
vable bowl and the body of the ap-

Fill the bowl of your fryer with oil/fat
• The 0.5 mark on the removable bowl
corresponds to a volume of 0.5 l.
• The 1 mark on the removable bowl cor-
responds to a volume of 1 l.
• For 1.5 l, fill to halfway between the
1 and 2 marks.
• Never fill beyond the 2 mark inside the
removable bowl.
• Fill the removable bowl with the appro-
priate quantity of oil for the selected re-
cipe, following the table below.
• Always put solid fat directly into the re-
movable bowl: never into the frying
basket.
• Use a vegetable oil or solid vegetable
fat (sunflower, groundnut, olive or pip
of grape oil.
• If you use solid vegetable fat, cut it into
small pieces before putting it into the
bowl. Then melt it by plugging in the
appliance and setting the thermostat on
position 1 (Simmer).
• Never mix solid and liquid fats or diffe-
rent brands.
• Do not mix old and new oil together as
this will only spoil the new oil in a short
time."
• Check the oil level before each use.

Fill the frying basket
• For a light, crisp result, we recommend
that you do not put too much food into
the basket.
Caution: never fill beyond the maximum
level marked on the basket.
Choosing the correct cooking time
• During cooking, the indicator light goes
on and off. It only stays lit when the
Versalio is heating the oil to reach or
maintain the correct temperature.
• Refer to the table below and to the re-
cipe book supplied with each appliance
for cooking times and temperatures.
These are, of course, given as an indi-
cation only: you can modify and adapt
them to suit your taste.
To fry in deep oil and semi-deep oil
Preparation of the frying bowl
• After putting the oil into the removable
bowl, unwind the cord completely and
plug in.
• For models with a removable cord:
plug the cord into the appliance and
then into the mains socket.
• Set the switch to “1” (on). The indica-
tor lights up.
• Remove the lid
• Set the thermostat according to the
food you wish to fry - Fig. 6 See the
table below for settings.
• Put the lid on.
• Pre-heat the oil. During pre-heating, the
indicator light may go out and come on
again several times. After approxima-
tely 15 minutes, the bowl will have rea-
ched the correct temperature and better
results will be obtained.
CAUTION
Only use the basket
when cooking with a
large amount of oil
(at least level 1),
otherwise you risk da-
maging the appliance.

Preparation of frozen food
• Un-breaded fish fillets, whole fish,
brains, etc.: leave to thaw, then pre-
pare as for fresh products.
• Pre-cooked chips, breaded fish, etc.:
cook straightaway without thawing.
Caution: defrost frozen foods according
to the manufacturers instructions before
frying.
• Wipe and shake frozen food well to re-
move any small pieces of ice before
putting it in the basket.
• Set the thermostat to the position indi-
cated in the tables.
• Reduce quantities by comparison with
fresh products. Do not exceed 3/4 of

Putting the food into the oil.
• Wait until the 15 minute pre-heating
time is up before submerging the bas-
ket in the oil.
• Remove the lid.
• Place the food to be fried in the basket.
• Put the basket into the oil gradually,
pausing once or twice in the process.
• Put the lid back on.
Removing the food from the oil
When the selected cooking time is up:
• Remove the lid to prevent the food get-
ting soggy.
• Lift the basket and hang on the edge of
the removable bowl - Fig. 7
• Allow to drain before removing the food
onto a plate.
CAUTION
Burnt deposits cause
the oil to deteriorate
faster, and are a fire
risk in the long term.
Our chef’s recommendations
Don’t forget that preheating the oil bowl
(about 15 minutes) is essential for suc-
cessful results.
• To cook several consecutive batches of
the same food, increase the cooking
time slightly after the first batch.
• In between each cooking operation,
check that the oil level is between the
minimum and maximum marks.
• Cut food for frying into small regularly
shaped pieces so that they cook
evenly.
• Season food after cooking and away
from the Versalio to conserve the oil.
• Avoid trying to cook pieces which are
too thick and difficult to cook through.
• Dry damp food carefully, especially
fresh potatoes, for a crisp result.
Cleaning the frying bowl
• The lightness, nutritional value and
quality of taste of your fried food de-
pends on the good quality of the oil
bowl.
• Clean the oil bowl after every cooking
session to conserve its qualities, essen-
tial to the health of gourmets, as long as
possible.
Remove deposits
• After each cooking session, use a skim-
ming ladle to remove large deposits and
small pieces of food from the oil.
Draining off the oil
To drain off the oil, wait until it has cooled,
then remove the removable bowl from the
body of the appliance. Tip the removable
bowl so that the oil is poured from the lip
of the removable bowl.
• Place a sheet of filter paper at the bot-
tom of the basket.
• Hook the basket on the edge of the re-
movable bowl and carefully pour the oil
onto the filter paper.
Setting the timer and stoping the timer
beep
(see page 30)
End of cooking
• Once the last frying operation is com-
plete, turn the switch to position “0”
(off), unplug the appliance and leave
the oil to cool before putting away.
• Unplug the fryer.
7
Store the oil
• In a container away from the light.
• In the Versalio itself.
Changing the oil
• Manufacturers of oil for frying recom-
mend that it should be changed after
every 8 to 12 times used. Comply with
their instructions.
• Do not throw used oil down the sink.
• Let it cool and throw it away with hou-
sehold waste or in containers provided
for the purpose.

To simmer and sauté
• In addition to its function as a fryer,
Versalio can be used to cook by other
methods. By resetting the thermostat,
you can cook in the same way as with
a frying removable bowl or sauté remo-
vable bowl.
• Simply note that when you lower the
thermostat setting, you must take into
account a small delay in the reduction
in temperature, due to the thickness of
the base of the removable bowl.
• You can cook with or without the lid, as
you wish.
• Without the lid, cooking times should
be increased slightly.
• In position 1, or on the “Keep hot” set-
ting, the fat may bubble for short per-
iods occasionally.
Preparation for cooking
• After putting the oil into the removable
bowl, unwind the cord completely and
plug in.
• Remove the lid
• Set the thermostat to the appropriate
setting for the food you wish to cook.
• If using oil, pre-heat in accordance with
instructions in the recipe book.
Important:
To use a lesser quantity of oil than that
corresponding to level 0.5, leave the ther-
mostat on setting 2 for at least 3 minutes,
then increase the temperature.
• Only use the basket when cooking with
a large amount of oil (at least level 1),
otherwise you risk damaging the ap-
pliance.
Choosing the correct cooking time
• During cooking, the indicator light goes
on and off. It only stays lit when the re-
movable bowl is being heated.
• Refer to the table below and to the re-
cipe book supplied with each appliance
for cooking times and temperatures.
These are, of course, given as an indi-
cation only: you can modify and adapt
them to suit your taste.

Practical tips
• After being washed in the dishwasher
several times, white marks may appear
on the outside surface of the removable
bowl. These do not affect the normal
functioning of the appliance. To prevent
them, wipe the outside of the remo-
vable bowl with a dry cloth every time
it is washed.
• To maintain the non-stick qualities of the
coating for as long as possible, never cut
directly in the removable bowl.
• Replace the removable bowl in its cor-
rect position in the appliance.
Precautions
• After cleaning, the ends of the heating
element under the removable bowl
must be carefully dried - Fig. 8
• Do not clean the watertight silicone
plugs at the end of the element: these
are sensitive to cuts and abrasions, and
the electrical insulation of the appliance
could be damaged - Fig. 9
• Do not try to remove any marks on these
plugs: their efficiency is not affected.
• Do not use an abrasive scourer on the
metal ends of the element. Dry them
with a soft cloth.
• Avoid knocking the removable bowl
whilst cleaning it. It will become unu-
sable if the terminals on the heating ele-
ment or one of the feet are damaged.
In this case we suggest you replace it.
For this, contact your nearest service
centre.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning the removable bowl
• Only the removable bowl may be im-
mersed. To clean the removable bowl,
use warm water, liquid detergent and a
sponge. Never use scouring powder
or a scourer. If food has been burnt,
leave the removable bowl to soak for a
little while before washing it.
• Versalio is fitted with a removable bowl
with non-stick coating, which can be wa-
shed in a dishwasher. In this case, follow
the recommendations below carefully.
• Take care not to damage the interior
coating on the prongs inside the dish-
washer when putting in position.
• After being washed in the dishwasher
several times, we recommend that you
wipe the inside of the removable bowl
all over with a lightly oiled cloth, to
refresh the coating.
Important remarks:
The interior can become brown and scrat-
ched after the appliance has been used re-
gularly for a long time. This is quite normal
and has no unpleasant consequences.
TEFAL guarantees that the anti-adhesive
surface of this appliance complies with
the regulations in force concerning all ma-
terials which are in contact with food.

Cleaning other parts of the appliance.
Important: Do not forget to remove the
timer and filter before washing the lid by
hand or in the dishwasher.
• Clean the outside and the cord with a
damp cloth, then dry. Do not use strong
or abrasive cleaning products.
• Do not clean the inside of the appliance
with water.
• Remove the basket and clean with hot
water and washing up liquid.
Note: over a period of time, the inside of
the lid may become slightly yellow. This
will not affect the correct functioning of
your appliance.
• Never plunge the appliance into water,
nor in the dish washer. Only the bowl
can be immersed.
Replacement of the anti-odour filter
- Fig. 10 (depending on model)
• The strength of the active carbon filter
diminishes gradually, depending on the
nature of food fried and frequency of
use. We advise you to change this filter
after 10 times of use.
• Remove the Versalio lid.
• Unclip the filter cap.
• Remove the filter, throw it away and
clean the inside of the lid and deflector.
• Put the new filter in position, rounded
side outwards.
• Replace the filter cap.
Caution: Failure to change the filter could
result in an overflow of oil.
• The anti-odour filter, ref. 794428 is
available from approved Service
Centres and in the shops.

Protect the environment
Your appliance is designed for many years
use. However, when you decide to replace
your deep fryer, do not forget that you can
contribute towards protecting the environ-
ment.
Before throwing your deep fryer away, the
battery should be removed from the timer
and taken to a specialized collection centre
or an approved service centre.
The approved service centres will take your
worn appliances so as to destroy them in ac-
cordance with the environmental rules.

• When an electrical heating appliance
is used, high temperatures are produ-
ced which could cause burns. Despite
the high level of thermal protection of
the body of the appliance, do not
touch any visible metal parts of the
bowl.
• The metal handles of the bowl must
only be held once the appliance has
completely cooled down.
• Do not place your hand directly above
the cover of the filter compartment
whilst the appliance is in use: the steam
escaping is very hot.
• Unplug the appliance if there are any
signs of not working properly, after use,
and before cleaning or maintenance.
• The oil must be filtered regularly .
Pieces of food which break away tend
to burn, causing the oil to deteriorate
faster. In the long term they may be a
fire risk.
• Renew the oil in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
• If the oil does burst into flames, close
the lid to extinguish the fire.
• Never try to extinguish the flames with
water ! Smother with damp cloth !
• Never immerse the body of the ap-
pliance in water: the bowl only may be
immersed.

- the appliance or the cord is damaged
- the appliance has been dropped or
fallen and appears damaged or does
not work properly.
In these cases, the appliance must be
sent to the nearest approved after-sales

necessary to make any repairs.
• This appliance is designed for domes-
tic use only. In the case of professional
use, inappropriate use or failure to
comply with the instructions, the ma-
nufacturer takes no responsibility and
the guarantee does not apply.
• Unplug the appliance before removing
the bowl and do not pug it in again until
the bowl has been replaced.
• Never move the appliance with a large
amount of hot oil in it (levels 1 and 2).
