If the screen is not visible, the timer battery
may need replaced. To do so, remove
the cover from the battery compartment
which can be found on the bottom part
of the control panel (fig. 2) and install a
new battery with the same specifications.
Replace the battery compartment cover by
moving it back.
USING WITH SOLID FAT
If you use solid fat for frying, make sure you
take the following precautions:
• Melt the fat in a pan over a low heat.
• Carefully pour the melted fat into the
fryer, taking care not to exceed the MAX
level mark.
• See ‘Instructions for use’.
• If you are going to use the solid fat left
over in the fryer from earlier cooking
operations, make several holes in it
using a fork.
• Next, set the thermostat (6) to 160º,
leave to heat for a minute and then
return the thermostat to ‘0’. Repeat this
operation at intervals of various minutes,
until the fat has melted completely.
AFTER FRYING:
• Rotate the basket handle to raise it (fig.
3) and drain the oil.
• Open the cover and put the food on a
platter with a sheet of absorbent paper.
While doing this, the oil will have time to
regain a temperature suitable for frying
again (when the indicator light starts to
turn off).
• With the help of a sieve, remove the
loose particles which may have come off
the fried food and are in the oil. If left to
toast they will have an adverse effect on
the quality of the oil.
• When frying has finished, rotate the
thermostat (6) to the "0" position and
unplug the fryer.
• Wait until the oil is completely cold
before starting to dismount and clean
the fryer.
• If the fryer is not going to be used
frequently, store the oil or the liquid fat
in a tightly closed container in the fridge
or in a cool place. Fill the container by
passing the liquid oil or fat through a fine
sieve to eliminate the food particles.
• If solid fat is being used, leave it to
solidify in the well and store the fryer
with the fat inside (see section "Using
Solid Fat").
7. CLEANING
• Before cleaning, unplug the fryer and
wait until it cools.
• Rotate the basket handle upwards and
push the Locking button, until fixed in
the horizontal position. Open the cover
(1), remove the basket and start to
clean.
• Remove the control panel and the
resistance and if necessary, clean with a
damp cloth.
Do not submerge in water or
any other liquid or put it under the tap.
• Remove the well (3) and pour the oil
from the well into the appropriate
container holding down the edge of the
same. If solid fat is being used, wait until
it solidifies and then empty the well with
the help of a spatula.
• Clean the cover, the basket and the
well with hot soapy water or in the
dishwasher. Then rinse and dry carefully
• Never use solvents, abrasive detergents,
metal scourers or sharp objects for
cleaning the fryer.
• Clean the outside of the fryer with a
damp cloth.
• Wind the cable on the bottom part and
then assemble the fryer again in the
following order: Well, control panels +
resistance, basket and closing lid.
• Store the appliance with the cover
closed to protect the inside of the fryer
from dust and dirt.
8. PRACTICAL ADVICE
Oils and fats
• Always use oils/fats appropriate for frying
at a high temperature. In other words,
use oils that contain polyunsaturated
acids or vegetable margarines.
• Replace the oil or fat regularly. Never
add new oil to used oil.
