Preparation

Before first use

• Press the button to unlock the lid and the lid will open.

• Remove the lid , the basket and the basket handle from

the fryer - fig 1.

• Wash the basket and the basket handle in the dishwasher

- fig 2.

• Wash the bowl and the lid with a sponge , warm water

and a little dishwashing liquid.

• Carefully rinse and dry all items.

• Fit the handle to the basket, by squeezing the handle

together and fitting it into the notches on the basket.

Then release pressure on the handle and pull it back up

so it clicks in place - fig 5 and 6.

• Place the basket inside the fryer.

• Replace the fryer lid.

Filling the bowl

• Be sure the fryer is not plugged in before filling the bowl.

• Fill the bowl with oil.

• Never fill the bowl above the maximum level shown on

the bowl - fig 7.

• Use an oil recommended for frying: blended vegetable

oil or sunflower oil. If using sunflower oil ensure the oil

is changed after every 5 uses. Oil which should not be

used under any circumstances and may cause overflo-

wing/smoking/risk of fire are: ground nut oil, soya oil,

olive oil, lard or dripping.

Oil

Solid vegetable fat

Max. 7 cups / 1.8 L 3.5 lbs / 1600 g

Min. 6 cups / 1.6 L 3 lbs / 1400 g

Never immerse this

appliance or the lid in

water - fig 3.

Never put the

appliance body or the

lid in the dishwasher -

fig 4.

Your fryer should

always be used indoors.

Never mix different

types of oil or fat

because this could

cause the fryer to

overflow.

The oil/fat level should

always be between the

Min. and Max. levels

shown inside the bowl.

- fig. 7.

Check this before each

use and add the same

type of oil/fat as

required.

• If you use solid fat, chop it into pieces and then melt it

in a separate pan before pouring it into the bowl (never

melt solid fat in the basket or in the bowl).

• Never exceed 302°F/150°C to melt the fat that has so-

lidified in the bowl. For the cooking temperature follow

the instructions (see cooking charts p.20).

• NEVER use animal fat such as lard or dripping as this

could cause overflowing, smoke or a fire hazard.

Pre-heating

• After filling the bowl with the fat, close the lid and plug

in your fryer without the basket.

• The indicator will light up - fig 9.

• Adjust the thermostat - fig 8 depending on the food to

be fried (see cooking charts p. 20).

• When the temperature indicator switches off, press

the lid unlock button to open the lid and allow the

steam to escape.

Loading the basket

• Dry the food to remove any excess water or ice.

• Fill the basket before placing it in the fryer.

• Do not overfill the basket.

• Reduce quantities for frozen food.

• Tip: Cut food to the same sized pieces so that it cooks

evenly. Avoid pieces that are too thick.

Cooking

Lowering the basket

• After the temperature indicator light goes out, very

gently lower the basket into the oil - fig 11. Lowering it

too quickly could cause the fryer to overflow - Wait for

one minute with the lid open - fig 12 then close the lid

- fig 12a.

Place the fryer:

- on a secure surface

- out of the reach of

children

- away from any

sources of water,

splashes or heat.

Never plug the fryer in

when it is empty

(without any oil or fat)

- fig 10.

Never exceed the

maximum safety limit

– fresh products 800 g,

frozen 750 g. To avoid

overflowing and extend

the life of the oil, dry

the food carefully

before cooking it.

• Set the cooking time (depending on model): for models

with timer, press the button to adjust the time minute

by minute. The selected time is displayed and the

countdown begins - fig 14 to fig 18.

• You can stop the countdown, during the cooking by

pressing the timer button for 3 seconds.

• During cooking, it is normal for the temperature light

to switch on and off.

At the end of cooking

• The timer emits a sound (depending on model), indicating

that the programmed cooking time has ended. To stop

the timer alarm, press the button.

• Set the thermostat to the minimum position.

• Unplug your fryer.

• Press the lid unlock button to open and allow the steam

to escape for around 30 seconds - fig 19. Open the lid.

• Raise the basket and hook it onto the edge of the bowl.

Leave to drain for 30 seconds - fig 20.

• Close the lid when the fryer is not in use.

• To cook more food, add oil/fat as required, set the ther-

mostat to the required temperature, plug in the fryer

and then wait until the temperature light comes on

before placing the new food in the oil.

Table of cooking times

• The cooking times are a guide only; they may vary

depending on the size of the food and the amount of

food and individual preferences. Thicker food may

require turning halfway through frying to ensure even

cooking on both sides.

• Cooking tips: For best results, use the traditional French

method of frying homemade chips:

- first frying at 338 °F/170°C

- second frying at 374 °F/190°C

• When cooking battered food and doughnuts, remove

the wire basket to prevent food sticking to it and use

tongs to slowly lower the food into the hot oil.

Do not place your hand

above the filter system -

fig. 13, or over the

viewing window.

The steam and the glass

will be hot. Do not touch

the fryer walls which

may also be hot.

The timer (depending

on model) signals the

end of the cooking

time, but does not stop

the appliance.

For crispy fried food,

open the lid as soon as

you have finished

cooking to prevent

steam from softening

the food.

The lid cannot be

closed while the basket

is hooked on the edge

of the bowl.

When cooking battered

food and doughnuts,

take great care when

handling the food and

use tongs. Gradually

place the food into the

hot oil, submerging it

an inch at a time to

prevent it from sinking

immediately.

Cleaning

Filtering and Storing the oil

• You may store the oil in the fryer, or in a separate airtight

container.

• If you use solid vegetable fat, we advise you to store it

separately from the fryer.

• Crumbs that break away from foods tend to burn and

alter the quality of the oil more rapidly. Over time, this

increases the risk of catching fire. For this reason, filter

the oil regularly.

• To be sure to get good oil after filtering, it is recommended

not to filter all the oil contained in the bowl, but to throw

away all the crumbs that have stagnate at the bottom

of the bowl. 

Changing the oil

• Do not pour used oil/fat into the sink. Allow it to cool,

and throw it away with household waste-according to

the local community regulations - fig 22 and fig 22a.

Cleaning the fryer

• Always unplug your fryer and leave it to cool completely

before cleaning it (approx. 2 hours).

• Remove the lid and the basket.

• Put the basket and basket handle in the dishwasher or

wash them with a sponge, warm water and a little

dishwashing liquid.

• Do not immerse the lid in water, instead wipe the lid

with a sponge soaked in warm water and a little dis-

hwashing liquid. We recommend cleaning the viewing

window after each use by wiping it with a sponge and

fresh lemon juice. Allow the window to dry at room tem-

perature or dry with a clean cotton cloth.

• Dry all items carefully before replacing them.

• Put the lid back on the fryer for storage.

• If you do not keep the oil in your fryer, you can store the

basket and the basket handle inside the fryer.

You cannot remove the

metallic filter located in

the lid when washing

the lid.

Never immerse your

appliance or the lid in

water and never wash it

under running water.

Never wash the

appliance body in the

dishwasher.

Do not use aggressive or

abrasive cleaning

products.

Do not store your deep

fryer outside, store it in

a dry and well-ventilated

area.

Leave the fryer with the

oil in the bowl to cool

completely before

filtering the oil (2 hours).

We recommend changing

the oil/fat after a maxi-

mum of 8 uses. - fig.21.
