1. Read all instructions before using this product for the first time.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Always use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plug or
fryer in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when the fryer is used by or near
children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow
to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning
the fryer.
6. Do not operate the fryer with a damaged cord or plug or after
the fryer malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner.
Return the fryer to the nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the fryer
manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.

Polarization instructions
If this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other), it is to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the
plug in any way.
Short Cord instructions
Do not use with an extension cord. A short power supply cord is
provided to reduce the risks resulting from being tangled in, or
tripping over, a long cord.
Magnetic connector
The cord is equipped with a detachable magnetic connector. The
magnetic connector should be attached directly to the fryer. THIS
SHOULD BE DONE PRIOR TO PLUGGING THE CORD INTO THE WALL
OUTLET.
Environment protection first!
Your appliance contains valuable materials which can be recovered.
Leave it at a local civic waste collection location.

PREPARATION
Before first use
Remove all packaging and stickers from the product.
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 fig 6.
Place the basket inside the fryer.
Replace the fryer lid.
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.
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 overflowing/smoking/risk of fire are: ground nut oil, soya oil, olive oil, lard or dripping.
NEVER use animal fat such as lard or dripping as this could cause overflowing, smoke or a fire
hazard.
Never mix different types of oil because this could cause the fryer to overflow.
The oil 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 as required.
Pre-heating
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) - fig 9.
After filling the bowl with the oil, close the lid and plug in your fryer without the basket.
The indicator will light up after plug in.
Adjust the thermostat - fig 8 depending on the food to be fried.
When the oil ready indicator switches on, press the lid unlock button to open the lid and allow the
steam to escape.
Oil
Max. 5 cups / 1.2L
Min. 3.5 cups / 0.83L

COOKING
Lowering the basket
After the oil ready indicator light turns on, very gently lower the basket into the oil - fig 10. Lowering
it too quickly could cause the fryer to overflow - Wait for one minute with the lid open - fig 11 then
close the lid - fig 11a.
During cooking, it is normal for the oil ready light to switch on and off.
Do not place your hand above the filter system - fig 12, or over the viewing window.
The steam and the glass will be hot. Do not touch the fryer walls which may also be hot.
At the end of cooking
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 13.
Raise the basket and hook it onto the edge of the bowl. Leave to drain for 30 seconds - fig 14.
Close the lid when the fryer is not in use.
To cook more food, add oil as required, set the thermostat to the required temperature, wait until
the oil ready light comes on before placing the new food in the oil.
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.
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.
Never exceed the maximum safety limit – fresh products 200 g / 7 oz, frozen 300 g / 10 ½ oz. To
avoid overflowing and extend the life of the oil, dry the food carefully before cooking it. There is
a MAX plate on wall of basket, never exceed the line.
CLEANING
Filtering and Storing the oil
You may store the oil in the fryer, or in a separate airtight container.
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.
Leave the fryer with the oil in the bowl to cool completely before filtering the oil (2 hours).
Changing the oil
Do not pour used oil into the sink. Allow it to cool, and throw it away with household waste-
according to the local community regulations - fig 16 and fig 16a.
We recommend changing the oil after a maximum of 8 uses. - fig 15.

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 dishwashing 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 temperature 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.
The lid is fitted with a permanent metallic filter, you don’t need to change it.
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.
