INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Before using your Magimix deep fryer, rinse out the oil container (7) and the
basket (3) with warm water and detergent. Dry carefully. Clean the electric element
with a dramp cloth, but importantly, do not use detergent.
2. Fill the oil container (7) with oil that is suitable for deep frying to the right level,
which is between the maximum and minimum marks. (The quantity will vary by
model).

3. Once the appliance is connected, turn the thermostat knob (4) clockwise to
choose the required temperature. The red pilot light (6) will come on and remain
on until the fryer reaches the required temperature : it will then go out. Your fryer
is then read to use.
4. To avoid steam and spitting, ensure that the food to be fried is dry. Do not fill
the basket more than two thirds full. Slowly lower the basket into the oil to allow
any water that the food may contain to evaporate.
5. To fry chips, first blanch them (4 to 6 minutes) at 170°C then increase the
temperature to 180°C and lower the basket into the oil and continue to fry until
the chips are brown (approximately 2 minutes).
6. Meat, fish and pieces of poultry can be placed directly into the oil without using
the basket.
7. When cooking deep-frozen food, only fry small quantities at a time. The sudden
evaporation of the water contained in frozen food might make the oil boil over.
8. In order to keep your oil clean for as long as possible, do not add salt or spices directly
into the oil during cooking.
