Instructions for use
Before use:
- Make sure that all the product's packaging has been removed.
- Before using the product for the first time, clean the parts that will come into
contact with food in the manner described in the cleaning section.
Oil filling:
- Open the cover.
- Ensure that the electrical equipment is appropriately positioned.
- Pour oil into the tank up to the mark indicating the MAXIMUM level (Fig. 1)
- The appliance must not be used with less oil than that indicated by the
MINIMAL mark.
Use:
- Take the length of cable required out of the housing.
- Connect the appliance to the mains.
- Remove the lid. This fryer is not designed to fry with the lid on.
- Remove the basket and attach the handle by pivoting until the rods engage
in the housing.
-Start the appliance by operating the selector control.
- The pilot light will come on
- Select the desired frying temperature using the thermostat control. The indica-
tor light will turn red, indicating that the oil is being heated.
- Prepare the food to be fried and place it in the basket, making sure that it
does not rise above ¾ of its capacity. Allow the food to drain before placing it
in the basket.
- Frozen food must be allowed for thaw beforehand. The placing of frozen food
or food with high water content in the basket may cause the oil to suddenly spit
after a few seconds.
- Wait until the pilot light (10) has gone out which will indicate that the appliance
has reached an adequate temperature.
- Slowly place the basket in the bowl to avoid overflowing and splashing.
- During use the pilot blue light will automatically flash on and off, thus indicating
that the heating elements are operating in order to maintain the desired
temperature.
- When the food has been fried sufficiently, lift the basket and position it in the
support in order to allow the excess oil to drain from the food.
- Empty the basket.
- Change the oil approximately every 15 or 20 frying operations, or every 5 – 6
months if not used frequently.
- In order to minimize the generation of acrylamide during the frying process,

avoid reaching dark brown colours on the fried food, remove any burnt leftovers
from the oil container, food rich in scratch (such as potatoes or corns) should
not be fried at temperatures lower than 170ºC.
Oil Control function:
-This fryer has an oil control system. When putting in oil for the first time or
whenever you change it, press the red Reset button in the control panel.
The BLUE pilot light will come on, indicating that the oil control function is con-
nected. When the temperature exceeds 150º, the BLUE pilot light will flash.
When the GREEN pilot light comes on, this indicates that the oil is ready for
frying.
After a while the AMBER pilot light will come on to indicate that the oil is finis-
hing its frying cycle. When the RED pilot light finally comes on, we recommend
changing the oil.
As indicated above, when you refill the oil tank, press the RESET OIL CON-
TROL button so that the oil status measuring cycle can be repeated.
Caution: the speed of the oil deterioration will depend on the food, as well as
the type of oil used for frying.
Once you have finished using the appliance:
- Select the minimum position (MIN) using the thermostat control.

Carry handle/s:
- The device has a handle on the upper part so it can be transported easily and
comfortably.
Practical recommendations:
- Fry a few pieces of bread to remove the smell of used oil.
- For food with a high water content, it is better and quicker to fry in two lots with
less food than in just one. This will reduce the risk of splashes and spillage.
- This will reduce the risk of splashes and spillage. This system consists of first
frying the food until it is reasonably well done and then frying again using very
hot oil to brown the food.
- Olive oil with a minimum acidity level is recommendable for frying.
- Do not mix different oils.
- Wash potatoes before frying to stop them from sticking.
