Preparation
Before using for the first time
• Remove the filter cover then the filter - fig 1 . Do not wash or wet the anti-odor filter.
• Press on the lid opening button and remove the lid from the fryer.
• Lift the basket handle horizontally until you hear a « click » as it locks, then
remove the basket -
fig 2 .
• The basket can be washed in the dishwasher - fig 3 or with a sponge and soapy water.
• Clean the lid and the bowl with a sponge and soapy water.
• Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly.
• Place the lid back on the fryer.
• Put the anti-odor filter and the filter cover into place.
Filling the bowl
• Fill the bowl with oil - fig 4 .
• Never exceed the maximum level indicated in the bowl.
• Use oil recommended for deep frying: vegetable oil, corn oil, canola oil, etc.
• If you use solid vegetable shortening, cut it into pieces and melt it in a separate
pan then pour it inside the fryer (do not melt the blocks of shortening in the bas-
ket, nor in the bowl).
• Never exceed 150°C / 302°F to melt the vegetable shortening, always follow the
cooking instructions (see cooking tables
p. 5 and p.6).
• Animal dripping should NOT be used under any circumstances and may cause
overflowing, smoking or risk of fire.
Preheating
• After the bowl has been filled with oil, close the lid and plug in the appliance
without the frying basket.
• Set the thermostat according to the food you are frying (see cooking tables p. 5
and p.6) - fig 5 .
• The fryer heats up and the temperature indicator light comes on.
Loading the basket
• Remove excess moisture (water and ice) from the food.
• Fill the basket away from the deep fryer.
• Do not overfill the basket.
• Reduce the quantity for frozen food.
• After the light goes off, place the basket in position on the edge of the bowl and
leave the handle in the horizontal position.
• Close the lid.
• Cooking tip: Cut food into similar-sized pieces so that they cook evenly. Avoid
using pieces that are too thick.
Never immerse the appliance
in water.
Never wash the lid in the
dishwasher.
Always remove the anti-odor
filter prior to washing the lid.
Place the fryer:
- on a flat, stable, heat-
resistant surface,
- away from water splashes
or heat sources,
- out of the reach of children.
Never operate your fryer
without any oil.
Do not mix different types of oil
as this may cause the oil to
overflow.
The oil level must always be
between the min. and max.
markers, stamped inside the
bowl – fig. 4. Check this each
time prior to cooking and add
some of the same type of oil if
necessary.
Never exceed the maximum
capacity.
Food must be dried thoroughly
before frying. This will prevent
the oil from splattering and/or
overflowing and will extend the
life of the oil.
