6.6 Frier
The frying temperature is selected by turning the
knob to a setting between 1, 2 and 3. The following
table summarises the type of frying operation
suitable for the various settings.
The green light comes on to indicate that the
appliance is powered up (even when it is not in
operation).
The orange light comes on to indicate that the heating element is heating
up. This light goes out when the set power level is reached.
When it flashes at regular intervals, the barbeque power level is being kept
constantly at the set level.
The table below shows the power values which can be set, with the
relative type of food alongside. The values may vary depending on the
amount of food and personal taste.

6.6.1 Practical advice for succesful frying
The oil level in the well must always be between 3 litres (minimum level
marked inside the well) and 3.5 litres (maximum level marked inside the
well). The heating element must always be submerged in oil or fat before it
can operate.
Never place solid animal or vegetable fat in the well. It must be melted
before it is placed in the frying well.
WARNING: before raising the heating element, make sure it is cold. Risk
of burns!
