[. . . ] Do not leave the cable hanging from the edge of the surface the deep fryer rests on, where it may be within the reach of a child or represent an obstacle to the user. · During operation the appliance is hot; as a consequence, only use the handles and knobs. · Do not move the deep fryer when the oil is hot, as this risks causing serious burns. · The deep fryer must be operated only after having correctly filled it with oil or liquefied fat; if heated when empty, a thermal safety device is activated to stop operation. [. . . ] Check that water does not enter into the control unit and that there is no residual water in the bottom of the removable bowl. Check that the control unit is properly fastened to the deep fryer body. The safety micro-switch (D) will prevent the appliance from operating unless the control unit (U) is correctly positioned (N). FILLING WITH OIL OR FAT · Turn the folding handle of the basket until it locks into place (pos. · If oil is used, pour it into the bowl (R) until reaching the maximum level indicated (see Fig. The level of oil must always be between the maximum and minimum limits (F). · If lumps of fat are used, cut the lumps into pieces and melt them in another container, then pour the liquefied fat into the deep fryer bowl. Never melt the fat in the basket or on the deep fryer heating element (see Fig. 4). PREHEATING · Place the food to be fried in the basket (S), without exceeding the maximum level indicated on the basket (fig. 5) to the required temperature (see cooking table), the oil temperature light (green) (C) comes off. · When the set temperature is reached, the green light (C) comes on. FRYING · As soon as light (C) comes on, lower the basket (S) into the oil very slowly to avoid the hot oil splashing or overflowing. · A significant amount of steam will be released: this is completely normal. · When the set cooking time has elapsed, lift the basket (S) and check that the food has been cooked to the required colour. · If the food is completely cooked, turn the appliance off by moving the thermostat knob (A) to the "·" posi9 tion. To cook more than one batch of food, wait until the green light comes on, indicating that the oil is again at the set temperature. Then slowly place the basket (S) in the oil a second time. HOW LONG THE OIL OR FAT LASTS The level of oil or fat must never fall below the minimum. Food coated in breadcrumbs, for example, dirties the oil more than simple frying. As for any deep fryer, the oil deteriorates after being heated a number of times!Therefore, even if used correctly, it should be completely changed on a regular basis. FRYING NON-FROZEN FOOD Never overfill the basket, as this may cause a sudden drop in the temperature of the oil and thus greasier and less uniform frying. If the slices are too thick, the food will not be well cooked inside, despite its appearance, while even slices will be perfectly cooked at the same time. Carefully dry the food before immersing it in the oil or fat, to avoid oil being sprayed; furthermore, wet food will be less crisp after cooking (especially potatoes). Foods with a high water content (fish, meat, vegetables) should be crumbed before frying, making sure the excess flour or breadcrumbs are removed before immersing the food in the oil. When cooking food in batter, you should first immerse the basket empty. [. . . ] Never immerse the deep fryer in water and never place it under running tap water (see Fig. The infiltration of water into the control unit may cause electrocution. Check that the oil has cooled down, and then remove the control unit and drain the oil. Except for the control unit, power cable and heating element, all the other parts can be cleaned with warm water and dishwashing detergent (see Fig. [. . . ]
