[. . . ] Never use the deep fryer when the oil is below the "min" level as it could cause the thermal safety device to come into operation; to replace it you need to contact one of our service centres. If you use lumps of solid fat, cut them into small pieces so that the deep fryer does not heat up in the first few minutes without a covering of fat. The temperature must be set to 150°C until the fat has melted completely. The required temperature can then be set. Put the food which is to be fried into the basket, without ever overfilling it (max. 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. [. . . ] 8 How long the oil or fat lasts The oil or fat must never go below the minimum level. From time to time it is necessary to renew it completely. The length of time the oil or fat lasts depends on what is fried. As for all types of deep fryer, the oil deteriorates if it is reheated several times!Therefore, even if it is used and filtered correctly, we recommend replacing it completely fairly often. Since the deep fryer works with little oil, due to its rotating basket, there is the considerable advantage that you only have to get rid of about half the amount of oil that you would with the other deep fryers on the market. 1 2 fig 9 fig. 10 5 Electric deep fryer FRP Cleaning Before cleaning, always remove the plug from the electrical socket. Check that the oil is sufficiently cold (wait about 2 hours), then empty out the oil or fat as previously described in the paragraph headed "filtering the oil or fat". The lid is removable, to take it off, proceed as follows: push the lid back (see arrow "1" fig. Do not immerse the lid in water without having first removed the filters. To clean the boiler pan, proceed as follows: · Wash the tank with hot water and washing up liquid, then rinse and dry everything carefully. · We advise regular cleaning of the basket, with care being taken to eliminate any deposits which might have accumulated in the basket's wheel guide ring. · Dry the outside of the deep fryer with a soft, damp cloth in order to get rid of splashes and any little dribbles of oil or condensation. · Clean and dry the washer as well in order to avoid it sticking to the boiler pan when the boiler is not in use. (To open the lid in the event of sticking, you only need to raise the lid by hand while at the same time keeping the opening button pressed down). Model with non-stick boiler pan To clean the boiler pan use a soft cloth with a neutral detergent never using objects or abrasive detergents. How to fry correctly · It is important to follow the recommended temperature for every recipe. If the temperature is too high a crust quickly forms on the outside while the inside remains uncooked. The food which is to be fried must only be immersed when the oil has reached the right temperature, i. e. Do not overfill the basket. This would cause the temperature of the oil to drop suddenly, resulting in fried food which is too greasy and not uniformly fried. When frying small quantities of food, the temperature of the oil 6 · · · Electric deep fryer FRP · · must be set lower than the temperature indicated to avoid the oil boiling too violently. Check that the food is thinly sliced and of even thickness, as food which is too thick cooks badly on the inside, despite looking nice, while food of an even thickness reaches the ideal cooking point all at the same time. Dry the food completely before immersing it in the oil or fat, as wet food becomes soggy after cooking (especially potatoes). It is advisable to bread or flour food which has a high water content (fish, meat, vegetables), being careful to remove the excess bread or flour before immersing it in the oil.

[. . . ] The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely retained in each terminal. If your electricity supply point has only two pin socket outlets, or if you are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. [. . . ]
