• Some models are equipped with a permanent metallic filter, which does not
need to be changed.
• No matter what the recipe, whether preparing fresh or frozen food, it must be
perfectly dry. Dry the food thoroughly with paper kitchen towel or a clean tea
towel before frying. This will prevent the oil from splattering and/or overflowing,
will extend the life of the oil and give crispier results.
• For frozen food, place the food into the basket and then shake the basket over
the sink to remove any excess ice crystals.
Recommendations
• Limit the cooking temperature to 190°C, especially for potatoes.
• Use the basket for chips.
• Check the cooking progress: Do not eat burnt food.
• Clean your oil after every use to avoid burnt crumbs and change it after every 8
to 10 uses (after every 5 uses if using Sunflower oil). Do not pour used oil/fat into
the sink.
• Leave it to cool and throw it away with household waste - according to the local
community regulations.
• Store your fresh potatoes in a room above 8°C.
• For best results and fast cooking, we recommend that you limit the quantity of
chips to 1/2 basket per frying.
• For larger quantities of food or potatoes the temperature of the oil drops very
fast just after having lowered the basket. This lowers the oil temperature
considerably and it is normal for the temperature to take a while to return to
190°C.
• Take great care when handling the food and use tongs.
• Gradually place the food in the hot oil, submerging it an inch at a time to prevent
it from sinking straightaway and any oil overflowing.
• For best results fry chips cut from fresh potatoes twice: A first fry at 170°C and a
second fry at 190°C.
