Thank you for choosing this electric fryer.To get the best

results from your deep fryer it is advisable to read these

instructions before using the appliance. This is the only way

to ensure optimum results and maximum safety.

Installation

•Before use, check that the mains power supply corresponds to

the voltage supply indicated on the appliance.

•Before use, wash the bowl, the lid (remove filters) and the bas-

ket using hot water and washing up liquid then carefully dry

the bowl.

•Never switch on the fryer before adding oil or fat. If the fryer

is operated without oil or fat, a thermal safety device is activat-

ed and will stop the fryer from working. In this case, it is nec-

essary to contact one of our authorised service centres before

re-using the appliance. Do not turn the appliance on unless the

oil drain tube is in place with the cap inserted.

Using the fryer

•Open lid by pressing button (fig.1).

•Remove the basket from the fryer. Raise the handle as shown

in fig. 2.

•Hook the handle to the basket by pulling it until it locks into

place as shown in fig. 3.

•To insert or remove the basket, push it forwards slightly as

shown in fig. 4.

The basket has two different positions:

the lower position to fry the food and the raised position to

drain the food at the end of the cooking time.

To lock the basket in position, raise it and push it inwards

(fig.5).

Filling with oil or fat

•Remove the basket by pulling it upwards.

•Pour into the container 2 litres of oil (or 1,8 kg. of fat).

For best results use a good quality oil. Avoid mixing different types

of oil. If you use lumps of solid fat, cut them into small pieces so

that the deep fryer does not heat up in the first few minutes with-

out an even covering of fat.The temperature must be set to 150°C

until the fat has melted completely.The required temperature can

then be set.

Warning

The level of oil must always be between the maximum and

minimum levels indicated inside the bowl.

Never use the deep fryer when the oil is below the “min”

level as it could cause the thermal safety device to be acti-

vated; to replace it you will need to contact one of our serv-

ice centres.

Frying

1. Put the food to be fried into the basket, without overfilling

(max. 1 kg. of fresh potatoes). Ensure the food is evenly distrib-

uted in the basket.

If cooking food from frozen, make sure very little ice crystals

are included (see frying frozen food, page 10).

2. Put the basket into the fryer bowl in a raised position (fig. 5)

and close the lid by pressing lightly down upon it until the

hooks click. Always close the lid before lowering the basket to

avoid hot oil from splashing out.

3. Set thermostat knob to the required temperature (fig. 6).

When the temperature set has been reached, the indicator

light will switch off.

4. As soon as the indicator light switches off, very slowly immerse

the basket into the oil.

•It is completely normal for a considerable amount of hot steam

to be released from the filter cover immediately after the bas-

ket is immersed.

•At the start of cooking, immediately after the food has been

immersed in the oil, the internal wall of the viewing window

(where present) will steam up, before clearing.

•It is normal for drops of condensation to form around the bas-

ket handle while the appliance is working.

•Never touch the viewing window (where present) when frying

as it becomes very hot.

Models fitted with the timer

To set the cooking time press the button on the timer to the num-

ber of minutes required, the display will show the minutes set.

The figures will flash immediately signifying that the cooking time

has started.The last minute will be displayed in seconds.

To r e-set press the button down for more than 2 seconds, and

repeat the process again.

The timer will show the end of the cooking time with two series

of beeps at an interval of about 20 seconds.To switch off the audi-

ble alarm press the timer button.The timer is removable and can

be attached to your clothing enabling you to move around. An

audiable signal will advise you when the preset time has elapsed.

WARNING: the timer does not switch the appliance off.

Replacing the timer battery

•Remove the timer from its compartment (fig. 7).

•Remove the screw from the back cover (fig. 8).

•Turn the battery cover (fig. 9) on the back in an anticlockwise

direction until it is released.

•Replace the battery.

•Reassemble.

If the appliance is to be replaced or thrown away, the bat-

tery must be removed and disposed of in accordance with

current laws as it represents an environmental hazard.

After frying

When the cooking time has finished raise the basket and check the

food is cooked as required. In models fitted with a viewing win-

dow the food can be checked by looking through the window

without opening the lid.

When cooking is completed switch the appliance off by turning the

thermostat knob to the “OFF” position until you hear the click of

the internal switch.

Allow excess oil to drip off by leaving the basket in the raised posi-

tion.

Note: when cooking in two phases (e.g. potatoes) raise the basket

at the end of the first phase and wait for the indicator light to

switch off again.Then immerse the basket slowly back in the oil for

a second time (see enclosed tables).

Filtering the oil or fat

Before performing cleaning or maintenance operations, turn the

machine off, allow it to cool down and unplug from the mains soc-

ket.

This procedure should be carried out each time you have finished

frying, especially when the food has been coated in crumbs or

flour.The food particles tend to burn if they remain in the liquid,

thus causing much quicker deterioration of the oil or fat.

Check that the oil is cool enough (wait around two hours).

Move the deep fryer towards the edge of the work surface (Fig.

10).To prevent the appliance from falling while filtering the oil, make

sure that the feet always remain on the work surface (Fig. 10).

Oil drain tube

Proceed as follows:

1. Open the lid of the fryer and remove the basket.

2. Open the panel (as shown in Fig. 11) and take out the oil drain

hose.

3. Remove the cap (as shown in Fig. 11) and at the same time

hold the hose between two fingers to prevent the liquid from

being released until the end of the tube has been placed in a

container.

4. Let the liquid flow out into a container (Fig. 12), ensuring that

it does not spill. Never empty the deep fryer by tilting it or

turning it upside down (Fig. 13).

5. Remove any deposits from the bowl using a sponge or absorbent

paper or wash the bowl as described in the section "Cleaning".

6. Put the hose back in the compartment, after replacing the cap,

and then close the panel.

7. Put the basket back in the high position and place the filter

into the bottom of the basket (fig. 14).You can obtain the fil-

ters from your retailer or one of our service centres.

8. Pour the oil or fat very slowly into the basket ensuring that it

does not overflow from the filter.After use throw the filter

away (fig. 15).

N.B:The filtered oil can be stored inside the deep fryer. If a long

period elapses between cooking, the oil should be stored in a

sealed container, to prevent it from deteriorating.

Ideally oil used to fry fish should be kept separate.

If lard or fat is used, make sure it does not cool down too much,

otherwise it will solidify.

It is advisable to check the drainage tube frequently for wear and

tear. If in doubt contact your nearest serice centre.

Replacing the anti-odour filters

With time the anti-odour filters inside the lid lose their effective-

ness. A change of colour in the filter, visible through hole “A” of

fig.16 on the inside cover, show that the filter needs to be changed.

To r eplace it, remove plastic filter cover (fig.17) by pressing the fil-

ter cover release in the direction of arrow 1,then raise it in the

direction of arrow 2.Replace the filters.

N.B: The white filter must rest on the metal part (fig.18) and the

coloured area must face upwards (towards the black filter).

Reassemble the filter cover, being careful to insert the front hooks

correctly (as shown in fig.18).

Do not use the appliance with over used filters as this

could cause bad odours and obstruct the steam.

Cleaning

Before cleaning, always unplug the appliance from the electrical

socket.

*Never immerse the deep fryer in water or hold it under

the tap.The infiltration of water may cause short-circui-

ting and electric shocks.

After allowing the oil to cool for about 2 hours, empty out the oil

or fat as previously described in the paragraph “filtering the oil or

fat”.

Remove the lid by lifting it carefully (Fig. 16).

Do not wash the lid before removing the filters.

To clean the bowl, proceed as follows:

•Place the fryer on the draining surface of the sink and remove

the oil drain hose (see previous paragraph ‘oil drain hose’). Let

the hose hang over the sink. Using a jug of warm soapy water

and a soft brush gently clean the inside of the bowl, the dirty

water will flow directly into the sink (fig. 19).

•Aplastic pipe cleaner is supplied with the product for use in

cleaning the oil drainage hose (Fig. 20). It is essential that no

alternative pipe cleaners are used as DAMAGE may occur to

the hose. Never use the hose brush before extracting the drai-

nage hose.

•Regular examination of the oil drainage hose should be carried

out. If the hose appear damaged it should only be replaced by a

De’Longhi appointed service agent, contact De’Longhi custo-

mer services for your local agent address.

•The basket should be cleaned regularly, with care being taken

to remove any deposits.The basket and its handle can be was-

hed in the dishwasher.

•Dry the outside of the deep fryer using a soft, damp cloth, to

remove any splashes and drops of oil or condensation.

•After washing, dry thoroughly. Remove any residual

water from the bottom of the bowl and, above all, from

inside the oil drain hose.This will prevent dangerous

splashes of hot oil during operation.

Model with non-stick bowl

To clean the bowl use a soft cloth with a neutral detergent, never use

abrasive detergents.

Cooking hints

Changing the oil or fat

The oil or fat must never fall below the minimum level, when this

occurs top up with new oil. It is advisable to change the oil regu-

larly to maintain the quality and taste of the food. The length of

time the oil or fat last depends on what is fried.

For example, the oil must be changed more often if food coated

in breadcrumbs is fried frequently.

Oil deteriorates if constantly reheated, we advise that the oil be

completely changed after every 5/8 uses or it should be complete-

ly changed in the following circumstances:

•unpleasant odour

•smoke when frying

•oil becomes dark in colour

How to fry correctly

•It is important to follow the recommended temperature for

every recipe. If the temperature is too low, the food absorbs

oil. If the temperature is too high a crust quickly forms on the

outside while the inside remains uncooked.

•The food being fried must only be immersed when the oil has

reached the right temperature, i.e. when the indicator light

switches off.

•When frying small quantities of food, the temperature of the

oil must be set lower than the temperature indicated to avoid

the oil boiling too violently.

•Do not overfill the basket.This would cause the temperature

of the oil to drop suddenly, resulting in fried food which is too

greasy and not evenly fried.

•Check that the food is sliced thinly or of even thickness, food

which is too thick cooks badly on the inside, despite looking

cooked, while food of an even thickness reaches the ideal

cooking point at the same time.

•Dry the food completely before immersing it in the oil

or fat, as damp food becomes soggy after cooking (especially

potatoes).

Food with a high water content (fish, meat, vegetables) should

be coated in crumbs or flour, being careful to remove the

excess breadcrumbs or flour before immersing it in the oil.

Frying frozen food

•Due to their extremely low temperature, frozen foods inevitably lower the

temperature of the oil. For good results each time you fry, we recommend you

do not exceed the maximum quantities set out in the following table.

•Frozen foods are frequently covered with a coating of ice crystals

which must be removed before cooking.This can be done by shaking

the basket. Lower the basket very slowly into the oil, to ensure that the oil

does not boil over. Close the fryer lid after the basket has been placed inside

the fryer.

The cooking times are approximate and must be varied according to the initial

temperature of the food which is to be fried and according to the temperature

recommended by the frozen food producer.

WARNING: Before immersing the basket, check that the lid is firmly closed.

(*) This is the recommended quantity for excellent results. Naturally a larger quan-

tity of frozen potatoes can be fried, taking into consideration that they will be a

little more greasy due to the sudden drop in the temperature of the oil upon

immersion.
