DeLonghi F28313 Instructions Manual page 9

• The food which is to be fried must only be immersed when
the oil has reached the right temperature, i.e. when the
indicator light goes off.
• Do not overfill the basket. This would cause the temperature
of the oil to drop suddenly, resulting in fried food which is too
greasy and not uniformly fried.
• When frying small quantities of food, the temperature of the
oil must be set lower than the temperature indicated to avoid
the oil boiling too violently.
• Check that the food is thinly sliced and of even thickness, as
food which is too thick cooks badly on the inside, despite
looking nice, while food of an even thickness reaches the ideal
cooking point all at the same time.
• Dry the food completely before immersing it in the oil or fat, as
wet food becomes soggy after cooking (especially potatoes). It
is advisable to bread or flour food which has a high water
content (fish, meat, vegetables), being careful to remove the
excess bread or flour before immersing it in the oil.
