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, lift the
basket and position it in the support in order to
allow the excess oil to drain 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 acrylami-
de during the frying process, avoid to reach 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 not be
fried at temperatures higher to 170ºC.
OIL DRANING POSITION
- When the food has been fried sufficiently, re-
move 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.
ONCE YOU HAVE FINISHED USING THE
APPLIANCE:
- Select the minimum position (MIN) using the
thermostat control.
- Unplug the appliance from the mains.
- Clean the appliance.
- Close the lid.
CARRY HANDLE/S:
- This appliance has a handle on the upper part
of the body, which facilitates comfortable trans-
portation.
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.
- The "two-stage frying method" can be used for
an even and crispy coating. This system con-
sists 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 recom-
mendable for frying.
- Do not mix different oils.
- Wash potatoes before frying to stop them from
sticking
SAFETY THERMAL PROTECTOR:
- In the event of overheating, the thermal safety
mechanism will be activated and the applian-
ce will stop operating. When this occurs, the
appliance should be disconnected from the
mains and left to cool. Then press the rearming
button with the tip of a pen or similar in order to
reactivate the appliance (Fig.1).
