• If fat is used instead of oil, melt first in a separate recipient.
• If fat has hardened in the tank, make a few holes in the solid fat in order to allow the water, which has been retained in the fat to be released as steam when heated at the minimum thermostat temperature.
• If, for some reason, the oil were to catch fire, disconnect the appliance from the mains and smother the fire using the lid, a cover or a large kitchen cloth.. NEVER WITH WATER.
• Turn the thermostat control to the minimum (MIN) setting. This does not mean that the iron is switched off permanently.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

BEFORE USE

• Make sure that all the product's packaging has been removed.
• Before using the product for the first time, clean the parts that will come into contact with food in the manner described in the cleaning section.

OIL FILLING

• Open the cover.
• Ensure that the electrical equipment is appropriately positioned.
• Pour oil up to the mark indicating the MAXIMUM level on the bowl.
• The appliance must not be used with less oil than that indicated by the MINIMAL mark.

USE

• Take the length of cable required out of the housing.
• Connect the appliance to the mains.

• Remove the basket and attach the handle by pivoting until the rods engage in the housing.
• The pilot light (D) comes on.
• Select the desired frying temperature using the thermostat control. The indicator light will turn red, indicating that the oil is being heated.
• Prepare the food to be fried and place it in the basket, making sure that it does not rise above ¾ of its capacity. Allow the food to drain before placing it in the basket.
• Frozen food must be allowed for thaw beforehand. The placing of frozen food or food with high water content in the basket may cause the oil to suddenly spit after a few seconds.
• Wait until the pilot light (D) has gone out which will indicate that the appliance has reached an adequate temperature.
• Slowly place the basket in the bowl to avoid overflowing and splashing.
• When the food has been fried sufficiently, remove the lid, lift the basket and hang it with the hook in the tank in order to allow draining the excess of oil from the food.
• Empty the basket.
• Change the oil approximately every 15 or 20 frying operations, or every 5 – 6 months if not used frequently.
• In order to minimize the generation of acrylamide during the frying process, avoid reaching dark brown colours on the fried food, remove any burnt leftovers from the oil container, food rich in starch (such as potatoes or corns) should be fried at temperatures lower than 170ºC.

OIL DRAINING POSITION

• When the food has been fried sufficiently, remove the lid, lift the basket and hang it with the hook in the tank in order to allow draining the excess of oil from the food.

CARRY HANDLE/S

PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS

• Fry a few pieces of bread to remove the smell of used oil.
• For food with a high water content, it is better and quicker to fry in two lots with less food than in just one. This will reduce the risk of splashes and spillage.
• This will reduce the risk of splashes and spillage. This system consists of first frying the food until it is reasonably well done and then frying again using very hot oil to brown the food.
• Olive oil with a minimum acidity level is recommendable for frying.
• Do not mix different oils.
• Wash potatoes before frying to stop them from sticking.
