[. . . ] - Never leave the appliance (whether or not it is in use) within reach of children without supervision. The use of this appliance by disabled persons must only occur under supervision. - Check that the voltage rating of your appliance corresponds to that of your household electrical supply. This appliance is manufactured to conform with current safety regulations and requirements as well as directives: - 72/23/CEE modified by 93/68/CC, - 89/336/CEE modified by 93/68/CEE. [. . . ] - Never obstruct the odour filtration zone (A2) located on the lid with your hand or any other object whatsoever (cloth, dish, plate, etc. Check that the level of the oil is above the "min" level indicated in the bowl (C1). If the oil or fat catches fire, unplug the appliance, cover it with its own lid or a damp cloth to stifle the flame, but never use water. If you are using oil, pour the oil into the removable bowl (C) up to the Maxi level, which is about 1. Never exceed the "maxi" level indicated in the removable bowl. If you use solid vegetable fat, take 1575 g - 1750 g of fat, cut into pieces and melt it in a separate pan then pour it in the bowl. The oil level must always be between the "mini" and "maxi" levels. Raise the basket (B) using the handle (B1) and place it in the draining position. When the oil has reached the correct temperature, slowly lower the basket into the oil from the draining position If your fryer is fitted with a timer: Press the button and the display "00" will light up (J1). continue to press the button until the required time appears (see cooking charts). Once you let go of the button the count down will commence (the display will flash). Always use a good quality vegetable oil which can withstand high temperatures. Change the oil when it becomes brown (every 8 to 12 uses, depending on the cooking done). Important: if using solid fat, before each use, make holes in the solid fat with a non-metallic spatula in the bottom of the bowl, in order to allow any water trapped under the fat to escape in the form of steam. Preparing foods for frying No matter what the recipe, food must be perfectly dry: this will prevent overflowing and extend the life of the oil. When dishes include raw potatoes (chips, crisps and potato straws), wash them in cold water to get rid of the starch. When preparing frozen foods, before cooking, remove any ice crystals on the food by shaking the basket of food to be fried over the sink. Cooking Do not overfill the basket, or you will cause the temperature of the hot oil to drop too much, and this will make the food greasy and soggy. The capacity of your fryer is limited to: - 1 kg of fresh chips - 750 g of frozen chips For best results, we advise that you use: - 550 g of fresh chips - 400 g of frozen chips Do not leave your fryer heating unnecessarily: your oil will last longer. Do not leave your cooked foods in the basket in the draining position for too long, as the steam may soften them and make them soggy.
