Lid Control panel Control for regulating the temperature Deep fryer ON pilot light (orange) Deep fryer Ready pilot light (green) Stainless steel vat Handles Basket Basket handle Draining stand Compartment for the cord Safety system button Before you use the fryer for the first time we recommend you to wash the basket (8) and the vat (6). To do so, take the basket (10) out of the vat, lift out the control panel (2) and take out the vat (6). You can wash the basket and the vat either using soapy water or by putting them into the dishwasher. [. . . ] ⷠThe food should always be covered by the oil. After frying the food, open the deep fryer lid, lift out the basket and shake it gently. Next, hook it into the draining position (fig. C) for the food to drain off as much oil as possible. ⷠOnce the food is drained, take the basket out of the deep fryer and empty it. When the oil is cold, place the basket inside the fryer and turn the handle towards the inside. If you were using solid fat, leave it to solidify in the vat and store the deep fryer with the fat in it. If you use solid fat for frying (when not previously used), you must take the following precautions: Melt the pieces of new solid frying fat in a pan at a low heat. Watch over the pan at all times and keep it out of the reach of children. ⷠTurn off the heat as soon as the fat has melted. Place the deep fryer in the kitchen sink and very carefully pour the melted fat into the vat. ⷠRemember not to go over the maximum level indicated in the vat. ⷠIf you are going to use fat that is in the deep fryer left over from a previous frying session, make holes in the fat with the help of a fork. When doing so, be careful not to harm the element. ⷠClose the deep fryer lid to avoid spatters and turn the temperature regulating control (3) to 150º so that the fat slowly softens. If you wish, you can increase the temperature once the fat has melted. Wait until the oil has completely cooled before proceeding to dismantle and clean the fryer. The fryer can be completely dismantled for cleaning as described in the "Operation" section. [. . . ] Always store the fryer with its lid closed to prevent dust or other products from deteriorating the oil or fat. ⷠThe discarded oil or fat must not be thrown down the WC or the sink. Put them into a closed container and take them to a suitable rubbish container. This deep fryer has a safety thermostat that cuts off the power in the event of abnormal overheating. [. . . ]
