Use
(Fig. 1)
The apparatus is switched on by turning the control knob
on the front that allows a temperature to be set from 40
to 200 °C.
A signal light comes on to show that the resistance
is operating, and when it goes off it shows that it has
reached the required temperature.
A second (general) light always stays on when the
apparatus is operating. The fryer is equipped with a
thermostat that constantly maintains the temperature
of the oil bath. Furthermore, a safety thermostat
automatically goes into operation in case of faulty working
of the main thermostat, preventing the oil from reaching
too high a temperature, about 220 °C.
The use of this equipment is very simple, however, to
obtain the best results, it is advisable to follow these
instructions:
- before putting oil in for the first time, carefully clean
the steel parts and the resistance, so as to remove
any residue left from manufacture.
- Never turn on the apparatus with the resistance
turned out of the bowl.
- Never turn on the apparatus unless there is oil in the
bowl.
- Always use vegetable oil suitable for frying: we do not
recommend oil from assorted seeds or sunflower.
- The quantity of oil contained in the bowl varies from
a minimum of 2 litres to a maximum of 2,7 litres.
If, during use, the oil level should drop below the
minimum, fresh oil must be added. It is advisable to
add oil of the same type. The minimum and maximum
levels are shown by two marks cut into the vertical
side of the bowl.
- The oil can be used several times, but we recommend
it is filtered between one cooking and the next, so as
to eliminate deposits which can occur.
- It is best to change the oil very often, however,
because, even if it is well filtered, small residual
particles can catch fire during cooking.
- Before putting the food into the fryer, check that
is perfectly dry. Wait until the oil has reached the
required temperature.
- For frozen food, it is advisable to defrost it at a low
temperature and then fry it at high temperature.
- In preparing certain dishes (fried potatoes) you will
get the best results by precooking at a temperature
of 160 °C, and then subsequently cooking at 180 °C.
- During cooking, it is often necessary to add salt or
flavourings. Avoid, if at all possible, doing this directly
into the fryer, because salt, by falling into the oil, has
its quality reduced.
- In the case of a breakdown, before calling a
technician, try resetting the safety thermostat, by
pressing the button visible, after having removed the
oil bowl and unscrewed the safety plug on the front,
interior side.

- During cooking, it is often necessary to add salt or
flavouring: to the extent possible, avoid doing this
directly in the fryer because salt falling in the oil
reduces its quality.
- If the fryer malfunctions, before asking for service, try
to reset the thermostat by pressing the little button
that you can see on the inside of the front wall, after
you remove the oil tub and unscrew the protection
plug.
Maintenance
Unplug the appliance before performing any maintenance.
To increase the life of the appliance, it is essential to
periodically perform a general cleaning, keeping the
following in mind:
- the steel parts must be cleaned with a suitable product
(available in stores) that is not abrasive or corrosive.
Avoid products that contain chlorine (bleach, etc.);
- avoid leaving acid or alkaline substances on the work
surface (vinegar, salt, lemon juice, etc.).
