If you use lumps of solid fat, cut them into small pieces so that the deep fryer does not heat up in the first few minutes 8 GB 4-12-2000 12:23 Pagina 9 STARTING TO FRY 1. Put the food which is to be fried into the basket, without ever overfilling it (max. In order to obtain a more even frying, we recommend concentrating the food especially around the perimeter of the basket. , leaving the central part more sparingly filled. Put the basket into the bowl in a raised position (fig. 3) and close the lid by pressing lightly down upon it until the latchs click. Set thermostat knob "U" to the required temperature (fig. 4). When the temperature set has been reached, signal lamp "T" will go off. As soon as the signal lamp goes off, immerse the basket in the oil, lowering the handle slowly after sliding the handle's "C" slider back. · It is completely normal for a considerable amount of very hot steam to pour 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 ELECTRONIC MINUTE TIMER WITH THE 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 high position. 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 go 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 as, especially when the food has been breaded or floured, the food particles tend to burn if they remain in the liquid thus causing much quicker deterioration in the oil or fat. Check that the oil is cool enough, waiting about 2 hours. Bring the front part of the deep fryer to the edge of the work surface, being careful that feet "M" are always inside the area of the work surface (fig. Pull tray "R" outwards (as in fig. 7) 2. Place oil container "Q" without the "J" lid in the special compartment (fig. 8).
