•
A significant amount of steam will be released: this is com-
pletely normal.
•
When the set cooking time has elapsed, lift the basket (Q) and
check that the food has been cooked to the required colour.
•
If the food is completely cooked, turn the appliance off by
moving the thermostat dial (A) to the " •" position.
•
Unplug from the mains socket.
•
Allow the excess oil to drain by hooking the basket (Q) onto
the support (G) on the bowl.
Please note: To cook more than one batch of food, wait un-
til the green light comes on, indicating that the oil is again at
the set temperature.
Then slowly place the basket (Q) in the oil a second time.
hoW long the oil or fat lasts
The level of oil or fat must never fall below the minimum.
Every now and then it must be completely changed.
The life of the oil or fat depends on what foods are being fried.
Food coated in breadcrumbs, for example, dirties the oil more than
simple frying.
As for any deep fryer, the oil deteriorates after being heated a
number of times! Therefore, even if used correctly, it should be
completely changed on a regular basis.
frying non-froZen fooD
Never overfill the basket, as this may cause a sudden drop in the
temperature of the oil and thus result in greasier and less uniform
frying. Check that the food is sliced into thin, even pieces.
If the slices are too thick, the food will not be well cooked inside,
despite its appearance, while even slices will be perfectly cooked
at the same time.
Carefully dry the food before immersing it in the oil or fat, to avoid
oil being sprayed; furthermore, wet food will be less crisp after co-
oking (especially potatoes).
Foods with a high water content (fish, meat, vegetables) should be
crumbed or battered before frying, making sure the excess flour or
breadcrumbs are removed before immersing the food in the oil.
When cooking food in batter, you should first immerse the basket
empty.
Then, when the set temperature has been reached, immerse the
food directly in the hot oil to avoid the batter sticking to the basket.
When referring to the following table, please keep in mind that
the cooking times and temperatures are approximate, and must be
adjusted according to the quantity of food and personal tastes.

Frozen foods are stored at very low temperatures. Consequently,
they significantly lower the temperature of the liquid used for coo-
king. For optimum results, do not overfill the basket.
Frozen foods are often covered with a layer of ice; this ice should be
removed before cooking. Immerse the basket in the oil very slowly
to prevent the oil from boiling over.
The cooking times are approximate and must be adjusted accor-
ding to the initial temperature of the food being fried and the tem-
peratures indicated on the packaging of the food.
