[. . . ] Put the basket into the fryer bowl in a raised position (fig. 3) and close the lid by pressing lightly down upon it until the hooks click. Always close the lid before lowering the basket in order to avoid hot oil from splashing out. Set thermostat knob "Q" to the required temperature (fig. 4). When the temperature set has been reached, signal lamp "P" will switch off. Never touch the viewing window when frying as it becomes very hot. As soon as the signal lamp switches off, immerse the basket in the oil, lowering the handle slowly after sliding the handle's slider back (C). · 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 "N"; display "M" 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.

[. . . ] The food which is to be fried must only be immersed when the oil has reached the right temperature, i. e. This would cause the temperature of the oil to drop suddenly, resulting in fried food which is too greasy and not uniformly fried. Check that the food is thinly sliced and of even thickness, as food which is too thick cooks badly on the inside, despite looking cooked, while food of an even thickness reaches the ideal cooking point all at the same time. Dry the food completely before immersing it in the oil or fat, as wet food becomes soggy after cooking (especially potatoes). [. . . ]
