click!

very serious burns. - It is essential that you wait until the oil has cooled down before emptying the oil from the fryer. - Never obstruct the odour filtration zone (A1) located on the lid with your hand or any other object whatsoever (cloth, dish, plate, etc.), as you run the risk of being burnt. Check that the level of the oil is above the min level indicated in the bowl (D1) but does not exceed the "max" level. - Oil and fat are flammable products. If the oil or fat catches fire, unplug the appliance, cover it with its own lid or a damp cloth to stifle the flame, but never use water.

Before first use

Unpack your fryer and remove all packaging (stickers,papers, plastic bags) before use. Keep your proof of purchase, then read the instructions for use carefully. 1 Open the lid (A) by pressing on the release button (B). 2 Remove the basket (C) Wash the basket and the bowl (D) with hot water and washing up liquid, rinse and dry carefully.

Using the appliance

ADDING OIL OR FAT Open the lid by pushing on the lid release button. Remove the basket. If you are using oil, pour the oil into the removable bowl up to the Maxi level, which is about 2.2 litres. 3 Never exceed the "maxi" level indicated in the bowl. If you use solid vegetable fat, take 1800 g of fat, cut into pieces and melt it in a separate pan then pour it into the bowl. Never melt the blocks of fat in the basket, nor in the bowl. 4 Close the lid until you hear a click. 5 Plug in the fryer. FRYING FOOD 6 Lift the On/Off switch (F). 7 Set the temperature selector (E) to the required setting (see cooking charts). When the temperature regulator light

goes off, open the lid by pushing on the opening button. 8 Place the basket in the draining position. 9 Close the lid. Slowly lower the basket into the oil from the draining position. 10 Press the handle unlocking buttons (C1) to fold back fully into its housing on the outside of the fryer. 11 When the cooking is finished, lift the handle (C2) horizontally, until you hear a click as it locks. Place the basket on the edge of the bowl with basket hanging clips. Open the lid and let the food drain. Remove the basket. Serve the food. Close the lid when the fryer is not in use. To use a second time wait for the temperature indicator light to go out before frying. To avoid any risk of burns, never put your hands above the odour filtration zone. FILTERING THE OIL Remove small pieces of food with a non-metallic skimmer. You may store the oil or fat in the fryer, or in a separate airtight container. Filter the oil after each use with a filter paper (available from approved service centres). Crumbs that break away from food tend to burn and alter the quality of the oil more quickly. Over time this increases the risk of the fryer catching fire. For this reason, filter the oil regularly. CHANGING THE OIL Unplug the fryer. Wait until the oil is lukewarm. Remove the lid. Empty the oil or fat into a large container and put it in the waste disposal.

Practical tips

OIL OR FAT Never operate your fryer without oil. Always use a good quality blended vegetable oil which can withstand high temperatures. Do not mix different types of oils. Change the oil when it becomes brown (every 8 to 12 uses, depending on the amount of cooking done). If using sunflower oil, groundnut oil and soya oil ensure the oil is changed after every 5
uses. Never use lard or dripping as this may cause overflowing, smoking or risk of fire. Important: Before each use, make holes in the solid fat with a non-metallic spatula in the bottom of the bowl, in order to allow any water trapped under the fat to escape in the form of steam. Set the temperature selector to position 150C to melt the fat. PREPARING FOODS FOR FRYING No matter what the recipe, food must be perfectly dry : this will prevent overflowing and extend the life of the oil. When dishes include raw potatoes (chips, crisps and potato straws), wash them in cold water to get rid of the starch. This will stop them from sticking together. Dry them carefully and thoroughly with paper kitchen towel. When preparing frozen foods, before cooking, remove any ice crystals on the food by placing the frozen food in the basket and gently shaking the basket over the sink. COOKING Do not overfill the basket, or you will cause the temperature of the hot oil to drop too much, and this will make the food greasy and soggy. The capacity of your fryer is limited to: - 1 kg of fresh chips - 750 g of frozen chips For best results, we advise that you use: - 600 g of fresh chips - 375 g of frozen chips Do not leave your fryer heating unnecessarily: your oil will last longer this way. Do not leave your cooked food in the basket in the draining position for too long, as the steam may soften them and make them soggy.

Remove the lid. Wash the lid with hot water with washing up liquid, rinse and dry. Never wash the lid in the dishwasher. Wash the basket in the dishwasher or in hot water with washing up liquid, rinse and dry. When you change the oil, take the opportunity to clean your removable bowl in the dishwasher or in hot water with washing up liquid. Rinse and dry. Never use a scouring pad, any metallic object or scouring powder. You will risk damaging the non-stick coating of the bowl. Damage to the bowl by not following these guidelines is not covered in the guarantee. Scratches inside the removable bowl or brown marks on the exterior may appear naturally if you use the appliance frequently.

Useful Cooks Tips for Deep Fat Frying
For the best results when frying chips cut from fresh potatoes, you can cook them in 2 stages. For 1000 g chips : - a first frying at 160 C for 7 - 9 min then - a second frying at 190 C for 6 - 9 min. For 600 g chips : - a first frying at 160 C for 6 - 8 min then - a second frying at 190 C for 5 - 8 min. For the crispiest results, dry food items thoroughly before frying, especially freshly made chipped potatoes. Large pieces of chicken or large chips need a longer cooking time. Set the temperature control according to the table above, or follow the instructions of food packaging. When cooking battered food and doughnuts, remove the wire basket to prevent food sticking to it. Take great care when handling the food and use tongs. Gradually place the food in the hot oil, submerging it an inch at a time to prevent it from sinking straight away.
What to do if your appliance does not work?
First, check the connection. Then check whether one of the causes listed in the following table might be the reason. Practical advice
Problems Excessive odour. Causes The oil has deteriorated. The fat is not appropriate for this type of cooking. The lid is not closed properly. The gasket is faulty.
