Once the appliance has cooled, using a toothpick or similar, delicately press the safety device reset button "U" marked RESET (see Fig. 1). If the appliance does not start operating again, contact a service centre authorised by the manufacturer. STARTING FRYING · As soon as the light goes off, place the basket "Q" into the oil, lowering it very slowly to prevent the hot oil from spraying or overflowing. · A significant amount of steam will be released: this is completely normal. · It is normal during frying for steam to be released from the cover and condensate to drip form the edge of the cover. · To avoid the risk of burns, never place your hands above the filter on the cover or above the deep fryer when frying. Before opening the cover completely, open it slowly to release the steam from the side. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Before using the deep fryer for the first time, carefully clean, using warm water and dishwashing detergent, the basket, the bowl and the cover. The control unit, power cable and heating element may be cleaned using a damp cloth. Check that water does not enter into the control unit and that there is no residual water in the bottom of the removable bowl. Carefully dry all the parts. Check that the control unit is properly fastened to the deep fryer body. The safety micro-switch "C" will not allow the appliance to be operated if the control unit "Z" is not correctly positioned in the casing "L". The deep fryer is now ready for use. SETTING THE TIMER (if featured) Press the button "G"; the display will show "OO". Keep the button "G" pressed until the required time is shown on the display. The set time can range from 01 to 99 minutes. Once the required time has been set, release the button "G". The display will start counting down: · from 99 to 01 minutes, the display will count down minute by minute; · from 01 minutes on, the countdown will be in seconds. An audible signal will indicate the end of the set time; to switch off the audible signal, simply press the timer button "G". To change the setting of the timer, reset it by holding the button "G" for a number of seconds. The timer signals the end of the set time, but does not stop the appliance. To replace the battery, access the inside of the casing "L", proceeding as follows: · Remove all the deep fryer components; · Unscrew the two screws that support the timer; · Remove the timer being careful not to let go of the button; · Turn the battery cover in an anticlockwise direction until it is released. · Replace the battery with another of the same type; To re-insert the timer, perform the same operations in reverse. When either replacing or disposing of the appliance, the battery must be removed and disposed according to the laws in force, in that it may damage the environment. FILLING WITH OIL OR FAT · Remove the cover "O" by lifting it by the handle. Turn the folding handle of the basket until it locks into place (pos. 2, Fig. 2). Remove the basket "Q" by lifting it upwards. · Remove the length of cable required to connect the appliance to the mains, from the cable compartment "S" (see Fig. 3). · If oil is used, pour it into the bowl "P" until reaching the maximum level indicated (see Fig. 4). Never exceed this limit, as oil may overflow from the container. The level of oil must always be between the maximum and minimum limits, "D" (max. 4 lt. - min. 2,850 lt.). For best results, use good quality peanut oil. · If lumps of fat are used, cut the lumps into pieces and melt them in another container, then pour the liquefied fat into the deep fryer bowl. Never melt the fat in the basket or on the deep fryer heating element (see Fig. 5). · Close the cover "O". PREHEATING · Move the switch "V" to position 1 (see Fig. 6). The light on the switch will turn on. · Place the food to be fried in the basket "Q", without overfilling (max 1.3 kg of fresh potatoes). Check that the handle of the basket is correctly positioned (pos. 2 in Fig. 2). · Move the thermostat knob "A" (see Fig. 7) to the required temperature (see cooking table). · When the set temperature is reached, the light "B" will turn off. 10 I-GB-F-D-NL-E-P-GR 26-09-2003 15:54 Pagina 11 END OF FRYING TIME · At the end of cooking, open the cover slowly to allow steam to escape from one side. Lift the basket "Q" and make sure the food has reached the required colour. · If the food is completely cooked, turn the appliance off by moving the thermostat knob "A" to the "MIN" position, until it clicks. · Turn off the switch "V". The light on the switch will go off. · Allow the excess oil to drain by hooking the basket "Q" onto the support "E" on the bowl. · N.B. When cooking in two phases or if more food needs to be cooked, at the end of the first phase hook the basket "Q" onto the basket support "E" and wait for the light to go off again. Then slowly place the basket "Q" in the oil a second time. CORRECT FRYING The recommended temperature should be followed for all recipes. If the temperature is too low, the oil will be absorbed. If the temperature is too high, a crust will form immediately and the inside of the food will not be cooked. The food being fried must only be immersed in the oil when the oil has reached the correct temperature, that is when the light "B" has turned off. Never overfill the basket, as this may cause a sudden drop in the temperature of the oil and thus greasier and less uniform frying. Check that the food is sliced into thin, even pieces. If the slices are too thick, the food will not be well cooked inside, despite its appearance, while even slices will be perfectly cooked at the same time. Carefully dry the food before immersing it in the oil or fat, to avoid oil being sprayed; furthermore, wet food will be less crisp after cooking (especially potatoes). Foods with a high water content (fish, meat, vegetables) should be crumbed before frying, making sure the excess flour or breadcrumbs are removed before immersing the food in the oil. Never fry more than three batches of potatoes consecutively. COOKING HINTS: HOW LONG THE OIL OR FAT LASTS The level of oil or fat must never fall below the minimum. Every now and then it must be completely changed. The life of the oil or fat depends on what foods are being ...
