Filtration, drainage and automatic storage of oil/shortening • Your fryer is fitted with an exclusive and patented system for filtration and automatic drainage, suitable for most types of oils and shortenings used for cooking. • The drainage of oil is completely automatic and safe. • The automatic patented filtration system ensures your oil/ shortening stays clean and lasts longer for healthier frying.

Table of cooking times • The cooking times are a guide only, they may vary depending on the size of the food, the amount of the food, individual preferences and the voltage. • Cooking tips: For the best results, use the traditional French method of frying homemade French fries : - first frying at 320°F - second frying at 374°F. • When cooking battered food and doughnuts, remove the wire basket to prevent food from sticking to it and use tongs to slowly lower the food into the hot oil.
Cleaning and Maintenance • For your safety, the appliance automatically drains all kinds of oils (or solid shortenings) when it is cool enough (approximately 2 hours after the last cooking). • When finished cooking, turn the Oil box control button on the Automatic oil filtration position – fig.11-12. • Once the filtration is finished, you can store the container : - In the appliance: Turn the Oil box control button on Fry position.
