Electric deep fryer FRP 4Starting to fry1. Put the food which is to be fried into the basket, without everoverfilling it (max. 1 kg. of fresh potatoes). In order to obtain amore even frying, we recommend concentrating the food espe-cially around the perimeter of the basket., leaving the centralpart more sparingly filled.2. Put the basket into the boiler pan in a raised position (fig.3)and close the lid by pressing lightly down upon it until thehooks click. Always close the lid before lowering the basket inorder to avoid hot oil from splashing out.3. Set thermostat knob to the required temperature (fig.4).When the temperature set has been reached, signal lamp willgo off.4. As soon as the signal lamp goes off, immerse the basket in the oil,lowering the handle slowly after sliding the handle’s slider back.• It is completely normal for a considerable amount of very hotsteam to pour out of filter cover immediately after this.• At the start of cooking, immediately after the food has beenimmersed in the oil, the internal wall of viewing window(where present) will steam up, before progressively clearing.• It is normal for drops of condensation to form around the baskethandle while the appliance is working.After fryingWhen the cooking time runs out raise the basket and check if thefood has reached the required golden colour. In the models fittedwith a viewing window this check can be carried out by lookingthrough the window without opening the lid.If you consider the cooking to be finished, switch off the applianceby turning the thermostat knob to the “O” position until you hearthe click off the internal switch. Allow the excess oil to drip off byleaving the basket in the deep fryer in the high position.P.S. If the cooking needs to be done in two phases (e.g.potatoes) raise the basket at the end of the first phase andwait for the signal lamp to go off again.Then immerse thebasket back in the oil for a second time (see enclosedtables).Filtering the oil or fatWe recommend that you carry out this procedure each time youhave finished frying as, especially when the food has been breadedor floured, the food particles tend to burn if they remain in theliquid thus causing much quicker deterioration in the oil or fat.Check that the oil is cool enough (waiting about 2 hours).1.
