If you make an error, reset the timer to
"00" by holding down the button for a
few seconds, and start again.
When the cooking time is up, a timer will
beep. To stop it, press the button.
Note: The timer signals the end of the
cooking time but does not turn off the
fryer.
The timer display switches off automatically.
When the cooking is finished, raise the
basket and place it in the draining position.
Don’t forget to switch off your fryer, by
returning the selector to “■” then by
pressing the On/Off switch
Open the lid and serve the food.
Notes:
If you need to fry several lots of food in
succession, wait until the temperature
regulator light (H) has gone out before
putting the next batch of food into the oil.
To avoid any risk of burns, never put your
hands above the odour filtration zone (A2).
DEALING WITH ODOURS
The activated carbon anti-odour
cartridge (models AKE3 - AKE4 -
AKE5) is highly effective against odours
and grease. Depending on the type and
weight of foods being fried, it will remain
effective for 30 to 40 uses.
When the saturation indicator, turns from
pink to light grey, change the filter.
The anti-odour filter (models AKE1 -
AKE2) remains effective for 10 to 15 uses.
When the saturation indicator, turns red,
change the filter.
Changing the filter
Wait until the fryer has cooled down.
Take out the “Clean Express” drawer (A5),
and turn it upside down while holding it
over the bin: the filter will fall out.
Place the new filter into the drawer with
the black side facing upwards.
Changing the oil
Unplug the fryer.
Wait until the oil is lukewarm.
Remove the lid of the fryer.
Hold the bowl and empty the oil into a
large container.
Filtering the oil:- Remove small pieces of
food with a non-metallic skimmer. You
may store the oil or fat in the fryer, or in
a separate airtight container.
Filter the oil after each use with a filter
paper (available from approved service
centres). Crumbs that break away from
foods tend to burn and alter the quality
of the oil more rapidly. Over time this
increases the risk of catching fire. For
this reason, filter the oil regularly.
Keep warm function (according to
model)
The dish (K1) is designed so that food
which has just been fried can be kept
warm prior to serving (for example:
chicken nuggets and chips) or two
helpings of chips.
When the first fry is done.
Remove the dish from its housing (K2).
Empty the contents of the basket (B) into
the dish (K1) and distribute it evenly.
Important: Never use paper kitchen
towel to line the bottom of the dish.
Put the dish back into place (K2).
Fry the second portion of food.
When the food is ready, serve
everything at the same time.
We advise you to prepare fresh chips last.
Caution: Never put your hand into the
dish housing (K2), specially when
moving the fryer, you might get burnt.
Practical tips
1. Oil or fat
Never operate your fryer without oil.
Always use a good quality vegetable oil
which can withstand high temperatures.
Do not mix different types of oils.
Change the oil when it becomes brown
(every 8 to 12 uses, depending on the
cooking done). If using sunflower oil
ensure the oil is changed after every
5 uses.
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.
2. 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. This will stop them from sticking
together. Dry them carefully and
