In order to obtain a more even frying, we recommend concentrating the food especially around the perimeter of the basket, leaving the central part more sparingly filled. Put the basket into the boiler pan in a raised position (fig. 3) and close the lid by pressing lightly down upon it until the hooks click. Plug into the mains socket, set temperature control dial to the required temperature (fig. 4). When the temperature set has been reached, the indicator light will go off. As soon as the indicator light goes off, immerse the basket in the oil, lowering the handle slowly after sliding the handle's slider back. · It is completely normal for a considerable amount of very hot steam to pour out of the filter cover immediately after this. · At the start of cooking, immediately after the food has been immersed in the oil, the internal wall of the viewing window (where present) will steam up, before progressively clearing. · It is normal for drops of condensation to form around the basket handle and lid while the appliance is working.
After frying
fig. 7 When the cooking time runs out raise the basket and check if the food has been cooked thoroughly as required. In the models fitted with a viewing window this check can be carried out by looking through the window without opening the lid. If cooking is complete, turn off the appliance by turning the thermostat dial to the "0" position until the internal switch clicks. Drain excess oil by leaving the basket inside the fryer for a while in the high position.
Filtering the oil or fat
We recommend that you carry out this procedure each time you have finished frying as, especially when the food has been breaded or floured, the food particles tend to burn if they remain in the liquid thus causing much quicker deterioration in the oil or fat. 8

WARNING: Before immersing the basket, check that the lid is firmly closed. It is naturally possible to fry a larger amount of frozen chips, but you should bear in mind that in this case they will end up being a little greasier because of the sudden drop in the oil temperature at the time of immersion.
