Warning: Make absolutely sure that when dissolving the fat, the heating element does not become red hot because the fat could catch fire. Important: - Never switch the fryer on with the heating element raised. If this happens by accident, never put the heating element into the oil or fat before it has cooled down. TIPS FOR CORRECT FRYING - Each food has a recommended frying temperature which should be respected, because if the temperature is too low, the frying will result oily, while if the temperature is too high, the food will be too crispy on the outside and raw inside. - Put the basket with the food to be fried into the oil only when the oil is at the correct temperature (after the temperature indicator light has gone out): - Do not overfill the basket otherwise the oil temperature will drop suddenly and the frying will be greasy and uneven. - Preferably use food of the same thickness. If the food is too thick it cooks badly in the middle, even if it looks good. - Large items of food (chicken, whole fish, etc. ) must be turned half-way through cooking. - Fish, meat, vegetables and any food containing a lot of water should be coated with bread crumbs or flour. Make sure to shake off the excess of bread crumbs or flour. - At the end of frying, remove the food from the basket: the fatty vapours given off make the fried food soft. - After cooking, filter the oil or fat for a few times and change it frequently.

EMPTYING THE TRAY • Empty the tray when the oil has cooled down. [. . . ] 3 Important: before installing the fryer, remove any plastic protection film applied.
