7. Using the deep fryer
During normal operations, the surface of the deep fryer heats up considerably. Do not allow
children to approach the deep fryer. Do not leave the deep fryer unattended while it is on. Oil or
fat in bad condition may burst into flames.
7.1
Before switching on the deep fryer
The first time it is used, the deep fryer may develop an acrid or burnt smell caused by oily residue
from manufacturing that may give unpleasant odours or flavours to fried food. To eliminate this
problem, clean the vat, basket and heating element before use.
Proceed as follows:
x
wash the basket in warm water and detergent;
x
pour warm water into the deep fryer vat and add detergent for stainless steel surfaces;
x
carefully wash the vat and the heating element;
x
lift the heating element upwards, rinse and dry;
x
lock the heating element by moving the lock system
S
towards the left as shown in the figure;
x
remove the frying vat, rinse away the soapy water with
running water;
x
dry the vat and return it to its working position;
x
release the lock system
S
and lower the heating element
into the vat.

How to fry
Proceed as follows:
x
pour
3 litres
of oil into the deep fryer vat. It is also possible to fry with fat: in this case, chop up
approximately
3.5 kg
of frying fat.
x
Switch on the heating element (see below for relative instructions).
x
If using fat, leave it to melt slowly in the deep fryer vat.
To avoid abnormal overheating:
until the heating element is completely covered with melted fat,
we recommend switching the heating element on and off repeatedly by using the thermostat knob.
x
Heat the oil or fat to a maximum of
190°C
. This temperature should not be exceeded,
otherwise the oil or fat would overheat and change consistency.
The heating element should never be switched on unless the frying vat contains the above
mentioned quantity and type of oil or fat.
The appliance is now ready for frying.
Proceed as follows:
x
use the thermostat knob to set the required degree of heating: the deep fryer starts to operate
and the
red and orange lights
switch on;
x
wait until the
orange light
switches off, which means that the frying liquid has reached the
preset temperature;
x
place the food to be fried in the basket and lower it very slowly into the frying vat;
