Using The Deep Fryer; Before Switching On The Deep Fryer; How To Fry - Lancellotti Maestro Série Manuel D'utilisation

7. Using the deep fryer

During normal operations, the surface of the deep fryer heats up considerably. Do not allow
children to approach the deep fryer. Do not leave the deep fryer unattended while it is on. Oil or
fat in bad condition may burst into flames.
Before using the hob burners, always remove the safety cover A from its seat (only available on
some models), to prevent the steel blackening irreversibly over time. The function of this cover is
not to cover food while cooking. If the hob burners are already switched on: remove and
handle the cover while wearing oven gloves.

How to fry

pour 3 litres of oil into the deep fryer vat. It is also possible to fry with fat: in this case, chop up
approximately 3.5 kg of frying fat.
Switch on the heating element (see below for relative instructions).
If using fat, leave it to melt slowly in the deep fryer vat.
Heat the oil or fat to a maximum of 190°C. This temperature should not be exceeded,
otherwise the oil or fat would overheat and change consistency.
use the thermostat knob to set the required degree of heating: the deep fryer starts to operate
and the green and orange lights switch on;
wait until the orange light switches off, which means that the frying liquid has reached the
preset temperature;
place the food to be fried in the basket and lower it very slowly into the frying vat;
