User manual DELONGHI ELECTRIC DEEP FRYER F27201

[. . . ] Never use the deep fryer with the oil below the "min" level as this could cause the thermal cutout to trip. To replace it, contact an authorised service centre. If you are using solid fat, cut into small pieces to avoid the deep fryer heating up without liquid for the first few minutes. The temperature must be set to 150°C until the fat has melted completely. You can then set the required temperature. Starting frying Plug into the mains socket and turn the pointer to the required temperature. When the thermostat light goes out, lower the basket (containing the food) into the oil and close the lid. [. . . ] As with any deep fryer, the oil deteriorates after being heated a number of times!Even if used and filtered correctly, it should therefore be changed completely on a regular basis. You should ideally change the oil completely after frying for 5/8 times and always in the event of: Unpleasant smell; smoke during frying; the oil becomes dark. Before cleaning or maintenance, turn the appliance off and allow to cool down. You should filter the oil or fat each time you fry, especially if you cook food in breadcrumbs or flour. Food particles left in the liquid tend to burn and may cause the oil or fat to deteriorate more rapidly. Make sure the oil is sufficiently cold (wait about two hours). Cleaning Before cleaning, always unplug from the mains socket. Never immerse the deep fryer in water and never place it under running tap water. To remove the lid, push backwards and at the same time lift upwards. Wash the bowl in hot water and washing up liquid. For models with non-stick bowl, never use abrasive objects or detergents to clean the bowl. Clean with a soft cloth and neutral detergent only. 5 Electric deep fryer F27series Safety warnings · Before using the appliance, check that the voltage of the mains power supply corresponds to the value indicated on the appliance rating plate. · Connect the appliance to an earthed power supply and sockets with a minimum current rating of 10 A only.
