If lard is being used, you must always activate the "Lard Function". [. . . ] Check that water does not enter into the control unit and that there is no residual water in the bottom of the removable bowl. Check that the control unit is properly fastened to the deep fryer body. The safety micro-switch (H) will prevent the appliance from operating unless the control unit is correctly positioned (N). FILLING WITH OIL OR FAT · Turn the folding handle of the basket until it locks into place (pos. · If oil is used, pour it into the bowl (K) until reaching the maximum level indicated (see Fig. The level of oil must always be between the maximum and minimum limits (L).

Both lights (E) and (F) come on. PROGRAMMING THE DEEP FRYER Use the "-/+" buttons (B) to set the temperature from 120°C a 190°C. Pressing the button once increases or decreases the temperature by 5°C. Use the "-/+" buttons (B) to adjust cooking time from 0 to 60 minutes. After setting the temperature and time, press the ON/OFF button (D) (if the time has not been set, the deep fryer will not begin the heating process). During this process, you can still modify temperature and cooking time using the "-/+" buttons (B) and the MODE (C) button to modify the selection. When the appliance reaches the set temperature, the green light (F) comes on and the deep fryer emits two "beeps". 10 STARTING FRYING · As soon as the green indicator light (F) comes on, lower the basket (I) into the oil very slowly to avoid the hot oil splashing or overflowing. During this process, you can still modify temperature and cooking time using the "-/+" buttons (B) and the MODE (C) button. If the ON/OFF button (D) is not pressed, the appliance does not begin the countdown and after 30 minutes the preset settings are restored. · It is normal for steam to be given off from the cover and condensation to drip from the edge of the cover. · To avoid burns, never put your hands above the cover filter or deep fryer itself while in use.

Lift the basket (I) and check that the food has been cooked to the required colour. · Unplug from the outlet: · Drain excess oil by hooking the basket (I) to the support (M) on the bowl. · Note: If cooking requires two phases or more than one cooking cycle is to be performed, at the end of the first phase, hook the basket (I) to the support on the bowl (M) and wait for the light to go out. Then slowly lower the basket (I) into the oil again. LARD FUNCTION This function is useful when you want to use lard instead of oil. · Cut the lard into pieces and place them directly in the bowl (K). [. . . ] Foods with a high water content (fish, meat, vegetables) should be crumbed before frying, making sure the excess flour or breadcrumbs are removed before immersing the food in the oil. When cooking food in batter, you should first immerse the basket empty. Then, when the set temperature has been reached, immerse the food directly in the hot oil to avoid the batter sticking to the basket.
