FRYING FROZEN FOOD
Frozen foods are stored at very low temperatures.
Consequently, they signicantly lower the temperature of the
liquid used for cooking.
For optimum results, do not overll the basket.
Frozen foods are often covered with a layer of ice; this ice should
be removed before cooking.
Immerse the basket in the oil very slowly to prevent the oil from
boiling over.
The cooking times are approximate and must be adjusted ac-
cording to the initial temperature of the food being fried and the
temperatures indicated on the packaging of the food.

MODELS FITTED WITH OIL DRAIN TAP
CAUTION: to avoid the risk of burns, do not drain the oil or fat
while hot.
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the basket.
2. Open the cover (R).
3. Open the tap (Q) by turning it anticlockwise.
4. Run the liquid into a container (see the gure below), mak-
ing sure it doesn’t overow.
5. Remove any deposits form the bowl using a sponge or tis-
sue paper.
6. Close the tap by turning it clockwise.
7. Close the cover (R). It is good practice to separate the oil or
fat used for frying sh from that used for frying other food.
8. If lard or fat is used, make sure it does not cool down too
much, otherwise it will solidify.
N.B.: the bowl is tted with a removable lter (Z) which retains
coarse frying residues. After emptying the oil from the bowl
completely, remove the lter by pulling as shown in the gure
