FRYER
To set the cooking temperature, turn the knob clockwise, up to a
max. setting of 200°C. (fig. 13)
When the heating element comes on, two lights, one green and one red, light up. The red light
goes out when the selected temperature is reached.
ADVICE AND WARNINGS:
- before filling with oil for the first time, clean the steel parts and the heating element thoroughly to
eliminate any manufacturing residues.
- pour the frying oil into the container provided before switching on the heating element.
- never switch on the appliance with the heating elements turned out of the container;
- never switch on the appliance unless there is oil in the container.
- always use vegetable oils of a type suitable for frying; mixed seed oils and sunflower seed oil are
not recommended.
- the amount of oil in the container varies from a minimum of 2 litres to a maximum of 2.7. If the oil
level drops below the minimum during use, it must be topped up with fresh oil.
When topping up, use oil of the same type. The maximum and minimum levels are marked by two
lines cut into the vertical side of the container.
- the oil can be reused several times but should be filtered after each use to remove any deposits
which may form.
- however, the oil should be changed very often because even if it is filtered carefully, small residual
particles may catch fire during cooking.
- before placing foods in the fryer, check that they are perfectly dry. Wait for the oil to reach the
required temperature.
- frozen foods should be thawed at low temperature and then fried at high temperature.
- when cooking some foods (chips) the best results are obtained by pre-cooking at 160°C followed by
cooking at 180°C.
- salt or flavourings often have to be added during cooking; if possible, do not add these directly to the
fryer because salt reduces the quality of the frying oil.
- after cooking, wait for the oil to cool before emptying the container.
After cooking, turn knobs back to the "0" setting.
Fig. 22 shows how the fryer basket should be positioned when cooking is over.
If the regulator thermostat fails, a thermostat with manual reset will be activated; this must be
reactivated by a skilled engineer.
MAINTENANCE :
All adjustment, servicing etc. procedures MUST be carried out with the
appliance disconnected from the electricity supply.
