The flexible mains lead is supplied

connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug

having a fuse of 13 amp capacity.

Should this plug not fit the socket outlets in

your home, it should be cut off and replaced

with a suitable plug, following the

procedure outlined below.

Note: Such a plug cannot be used for any

other appliance and should therefore be

properly disposed of and not left where

children might find it and plug it into a supply

socket - with the obvious consequent danger.

N.B. We recommend the use of good

quality plugs and wall sockets that can be

switched off when the machine is not in use.

IMPORTANT: the wires in the mains lead

fitted to this appliance are coloured in

accordance with the following code:

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead

of this appliance may not correspond with

the coloured markings identifying the

terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured green and

yellow must be connected to the terminal in

the plug which is marked with the letter E or

by the earth symbol or coloured green

or green and yellow.

The wire which is coloured blue must be

connected to the terminal which is marked

with the letter Nor coloured black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be

connected to the terminal which is marked

with the letter Lor coloured red.

When wiring the plug, ensure that all

strands of wire are securely retained in

each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the

mains lead clamp on the plug. If your

electricity supply point has only two pin

socket outlets, or if you are in doubt, consult

a qualified electrician.

Should the mains lead ever require

replacement, it is essential that this

operation be carried out by a qualified

electrician and should only be replaced

with a flexible cord of the same size.

After replacement of a fuse in the plug, the fuse

cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost,

the plug must not be used until a replacement

cover is obtained. The colour of the correct

replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured

insert in the base of the fuse recess or

elsewhere on the plug. Always state this colour

when ordering a replacement fuse cover.

Only 13amp replacement fuses which are

ASTA approved to B.S. 1362 should be fitted.

This appliance conforms to the Norms EN

55014 regarding the suppression of radio

interference.

Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage indicated on the product

corresponds with the main voltage in your home, if you are in any doubt

about your supply contact your local electricity company.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Before use, check that the mains power supply

corresponds to the power supply indicated on the

appliance.

• Before use, wash the bowl and the basket using hot water

then carefully dry the bowl.

• Never switch on the fryer before adding oil or fat. If the

fryer is operated without oil or fat, a thermostatically

operated safety device interrupts the operation of the

appliance. In this case, it is necessary to contact one of our

authorized service centres before re-using the appliance.

Filling with oil or fat

• Remove the appliance from the package and open the lid

by pulling on the relevant handle (fig. 1) then take the

accessories out.

• Pour about 1.3 lt of oil, circa into bowl (or 1.2 kg. fat).

For best results, use good-quality sunflower oil.

AVOID MIXING DIFFERENT TYPES OF OIL.

If using blocks of solid fat, cut into small pieces to avoid

fryer heating dry in the first few minutes; it is also

advisable to place thermostat on the 150°C position during

initial heating-up phase.

Melt solid fat directly in pot. Only when completely melted,

Pre-heating

Set the sliding thermostat control (N) (fig. 2) to the desired

temperature (see enclosed table). When the selected

temperature is reached, the pilot lamp will switch off.

Frying

1. As soon as the light goes off, lower the basket (A)

into the oil by inserting the basket handle (B) in the basket

(as shown in fig. 3) and locking it securely in place.

Always ensure that the handle lock is in place

when lifting the basket in or out of the oil

Remove the handle and close the lid.

•It is normal for a notable quantity of hot vapour

to escape from the filter cover immediately

following the above mentioned process.

• It is also normal for drops of condensation to fall from the lid

onto the metal or plastic sides of the appliance while in use.

Read this instruction booklet carefully before using your machine. In this way, you will

obtain the best possible results and maximum operating safety.

End of frying time

When the selected frying time is completed, hook the basket

to the bowl’s rim (fig.5) and check that food is golden brown

as desired. If more cooking is needed, lower the basket and

keep on frying.

When the food is cooked, switch the appliance off by setting

the thermostat control to “OFF” until the switch is heard to click

off. Leave the contents to drip for a moment.

If frying is to be done in two phases (e.g. potatoes),

open the lid; hook the basket to the bowl, lower the

lid without closing it wait for the indicator light to go

off and lower basket again (see enclosed table).

Filtering of oil or fat

It is advisable to filter the oil or fat after frying in order to

remove any food particles, especially if the food is coated in

breadcrumbs or flour. Food particles remaining in the oil tend

to burn, which causes the oil to deteriorate more quickly.

For models fitted with a drainage tube

Proceed as follows:

1. Raise the lid of the fryer and remove the basket. Check that

the oil is sufficiently cool (about 2 hours).

2. Open the panel (L) as shown in fig. 4 and remove the

drainage tube (M)

3. Remove the cap (fig. 6). Take care to pinch the end of the

tube with two fingers so that the oil does not drain until the

tube has been placed in a receptacle.

2. Models with an electronic timer (E), may be set to whatever cooking time you

desire. If the timer comes with a battery protection tab (H), pull the tab out slightly and

then proceed as follows:

• Press the ON/START push-button (G): the timer will come on and the figures will start to

flash;

• Press the “+min” button (F) until the desired setting is obtained;

• By pressing the “ON/START” (G) button, the timer will start the count displayed. The

figures will stop flashing and the decimal point will start to flash instead.

• If an error is made, the count is cancelled by pressing push-buttons F and G

simultaneously: in this way the timer is reset at zero.

• Once the cooking time is completed, an acoustic signal is

given (to stop the signal, simply press one of the two push

buttons).

The acoustic signal indicates that the programmed cooking

time is over, but the appliance is still operating.

• The timer switches off automatically 20 seconds after the

audible signal has been given.

The electronic timer may be removed from the equipment

for your easy use (see fig. 4).

f 270 UK 30-11-2000 16:11 Pagina 6

4. Drain the oil into a suitable

receptacle (fig. 7)

5. Use a sponge or a paper

kitchen towel to remove any

deposits from the bowl.

6. Replace the drainage tube in

its compartment. Do not

forget to replace the

cap.

7. Hook the basket to the bowl

and place the filter supplied

with the appliance in the bottom of the basket (fig. 8).

Spare filters can be obtained from your dealer or from our

service centres.

8. Pour the oil very slowly into the basket, ensuring that it

does not overflow from the filter (fig. 9).

9. Check the drainage tube frequently for signs of wear and

tear. If in doubt contact your nearest service centre.

Note: After filtering the oil, it can be left in the fryer. However,

should a long period of time pass between one frying

and the next, it is advisable to store the oil in a closed

container, not exposed to direct light in order to avoid

its deterioration.

To drain the oil into the container, remove the drainage

tube and proceed as shown in fig. 10.

Oil used for frying fish should be stored separately

from oil used for other foods.

If fat is used for frying, this should not be

allowed to cool too much, otherwise it may

f 270 UK 30-11-2000 16:11 Pagina 7

solidify.

CHANGING THE ANTI-ODOUR FILTERS

After a while, the anti-odour filters fitted to the lid tend to lose

their effectiveness. They should be changed after

approximately 20 frying operations. To replace the filters,

remove the screws from the inner lid as shown in fig. 11.

Replace the filters.

Refit the lid by fastening the three screws.

N.B:The black filter must be fitted by laying it on the plastic

surface (see fig.11) while the white filter must rest over it.

CLEANING

Before cleaning, ensure the appliance is unplugged.

Never immerse the fryer in water or place under a

tap, as water in contact with electrical components

may cause electric shocks.

Always remove the filters before immersing the lid in water.

Proceed as follows to clean the bowl:

•Allow the oil to cool for about two hours, then

drain the bowl as described in “drainage of oil”.

• Remove any deposit from the bottom of the bowl using a

sponge or a paper towel.

• Wash the bowl with hot water and washing-up liquid. Rinse

and dry carefully.

• Use the special cleaning brush supplied with the appliance

to clean the oil drainage tube (fig. 12).

• Clean the basket regularly, taking care to remove any

particles .

• The basket can be washed in a dishwasher.

• After frying, wipe the outside of the fryer with a soft damp

cloth in order to remove any oil smears and condensation.

• If your appliance is equipped with a sealing gasket, clean

and dry it in order to prevent it sticking to the bowl when

the fryer is not in use.

Replacing the timer battery

(for those models so equipped)

• Remove the timer from its housing (see fig. 5)

• Turn the battery cover on the back of the timer in an anti-

clockwise direction until it comes off (fig.13).

• Replace the battery.

If the appliance is to be replaced or thrown away, the battery

must be removed and disposed of in accordance with the

current laws as it represents an environmental hazard.

COOKING SUGGESTIONS

Changing the oil or fat

When oil goes below minimum level mark,

add new oil. It is advisable to change the oil

from time to time to maintain the quality

and taste of your fried food.

The number of times the oil can be used

depends on the type of food you fry. For

example, the oil must be changed more often if

food coated in breadcrumbs is fried frequently.

We advise that the oil be completely changed

every 5/8 times or it should be completely

changed in the following circumstances:

• unpleasant odour

• smoke when frying

• becomes dark in colour.

For perfect frying

• The recommended temperature should

be selected for each recipe. If the

temperature is too low, the food

will absorb oil. If the

temperature is too high, the food

will crisp too quickly, leaving the

inside underdone.

• The food to be fried should not

be lowered into the oil until the

correct temperature has been

reached (i.e. when the pilot lamp

switches off).

• Do not overfill the basket. Too much

food in the basket lowers the

temperature of the oil suddenly, with the

result that the food will be greasy and

unevenly-fried.

• Check that the food is sliced thinly and

evenly. Thick slices will not be fried

throughout, although they may look

cooked on the outside. If the food is

evenly sliced, each slice will be perfectly

fried at the same time.

• Be sure to dry the food carefully before

frying. Damp foods - especially potatoes

- tend to soggy after frying. Foods with

a high water content (e.g. fish, meat

and vegetables) should be dipped in

breadcrumbs or flour. Remember to

shake off any excess flour or

breadcrumbs before frying.

The cooking times shown in this table are approximate, and may vary according to the initial temperature

of the food and to the cooking temperature recommended on the packet.

Frying frozen foods

1. Due to their extremely low temperature,

frozen foods inevitably lower the

temperature of the oil. For good results

each time you fry, we recommend you

don’t exceed the maximum quantities set

out in the following table.

2. Frozen foods are frequently

covered with a coating of ice

crystals, which must be removed

before frying. Lower the basket very

slowly into the oil in order to ensure that

the oil does not boil over.

Make certain that the lid is tightly

closed after the basket has been

placed inside the fryer.

WARNING: Before lowering the basket into the oil, ensure that the lid is securely closed.

*This is the recommended quantity for excellent results. Naturally a larger quantity of frozen potatoes can

be fried, taking into consideration that they will be a little more greasy due to the sudden drop in the

temperature of the oil, upon immersion.
