To protect against electric shock do not immerse cord, plug and fryer in water or other liquid. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. [. . . ] · It is completely normal for a considerable amount of very hot steam to rise out of filter cover "F" immediately after this. · At the start of cooking, immediately after the food has been immersed in the oil, the internal wall of viewing window "E" (where present) will steam up, before progressively clearing. · It is normal for drops of condensation to form around the basket handle while the appliance is working. IN THE MODELS FITTED WITH THE ELECTRONIC MINUTE TIMER Set the cooking time by pressing key "O"; display "N" will show the minutes set. The figures will begin flashing immediately afterwards, signifying that the cooking time has started. The last minute will be visualised in seconds. 8 GB 30-01-2002 8:57 Pagina 9 In the event of error, the new cooking time can be set by keeping the key pressed down for more than 2 seconds. The display will reset itself, then repeat the process again. The minute timer will show the end of the cooking time with two series of beeps at an interval of about 20 seconds. In order to switch off the audible alarm you only need press minute timer button "O". The minute timer can be attached to clothing by the clip. WARNING: the minute timer does not switch the appliance off. Replacing the minute timer battery · Remove the minute timer from its compartment (fig. · Remove the back cover by screw driver (fig. 7) placed on the back in an anticlockwise direction until it is released. · Replace the battery with another of the same type. 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. AFTER FRYING When the cooking time runs out raise the basket and check if the food has reached the required golden colour. In the models fitted with a viewing window this check can be carried out by looking through the window without opening the lid. If you consider the cooking to be finished, switch off the appliance by turning the thermostat knob to the "OFF" position until you hear the click of the internal switch. Allow the excess oil to drip off by leaving the basket in the deep fryer in the raised position. Note: If the cooking needs to be done in two phases (e. g. potatoes) raise the basket at the end of the first phase and wait for the signal lamp to switch off again. Then immerse the basket back in the oil for a second time (see enclosed tables). FILTERING THE OIL OR FAT We recommend that you carry out this procedure each time you have finished frying especially when the food has been breaded or floured. [. . . ] It is naturally possible to fry a larger amount of chips, but you should bear in mind that in this case they will end up being a little greasier because of the sudden drop in the oil temperature at the time of immersion. OPERATING FAULTS FAULT Bad smell CAUSE The anti-odour filter is saturated. The oil has deteriorated and causes too much foam. You have immersed food which is not sufficiently dry in the hot oil. The basket has been immersed too quickly. [. . . ]
