User manual DELONGHI ELECTRIC DEEP FRYER F27

[. . . ] Never over fill the basket This could cause a sudden drop in the temperature of the oil and therefore greasier and less uniform frying. Check that the food is cut into thin, even pieces. If the food is too thick, it will not be well cooked inside. When cooking food in batter, you should first immerse the basket empty. Then, when the set temperature has been reached (the light goes out), immerse the food directly in the hot oil to avoid the batter sticking to the basket. [. . . ] Make sure the oil is sufficiently cold (wait about two hours). Cleaning Before cleaning, always unplug from the mains socket. Never immerse the deep fryer in water and never place it under running tap water. If water gets into the appliance, it could cause electric shock. To remove the lid, push backwards and at the same time lift upwards. Wash the bowl in hot water and washing up liquid. Rinse and dry thoroughly. The basket can be washed in a dishwasher. For models with non-stick bowl, never use abrasive objects or detergents to clean the bowl. Clean with a soft cloth and neutral detergent only. 5 Electric deep fryer F27series Safety warnings · Before using the appliance, check that the voltage of the mains power supply corresponds to the value indicated on the appliance rating plate. · Connect the appliance to an earthed power supply and sockets with a minimum current rating of 10 A only.
