III. USE

1. Fill the bowl with oil or fat between the min MIN and MAX level.

! NEVER warm up the deep fryer without oil or with insufficient oil. If you do so, the deep fryer may get damaged permanently.

NEVER switch the deep fryer on before it is filled with enough oil or fat. NEVER leave water in the stainless steel bowl when filling it with oil or fat. The oil must always be between MIN and MAX, otherwise the safety thermostat switches off.

We advise the use of frying oil. Should you nevertheless want to use fat, note this has some risks and you need to act cautiously!

First use

First melt the fat in a separate pan. When all the fat has melted, pour it into the fryer. Only then the fryer may be switched on. Turn the thermostat knob on the desired temperature. When the control lamp switches off, the desired temperature is reached and the fryer is ready for use.

Following uses

A layer of fat covers the heating element in the bowl. Pierce the fat layer with the back of a spoon until you reach the heating element or the bottom of the bowl.

Gently turn the thermostat knob until you hear a 'click' and the control lamp switches on. When the control lamp switches off again, turn the thermostat knob until you hear a 'click'.

When the fat has completely melted, you can turn the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.

1. Before inserting the plug into the socket, first fold out the basket handle and suspend the basket on the hook.
2. Now turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the desired temperature. The heating control lamp lights up. As soon as the selected temperature is reached, the heating control lamp goes out and the fryer is ready for frying. When the oil temperature drops, the heater and the control lamp will switch back on and will go out as soon as the selected temperature has been reached again.

3. Put the previously dried food in the basket (max. two third full). For an optimal frying result, we advise the following quantities:

4. Frozen French fries : Fill the basket max. 2/3

5. Fresh French fries : max. 150 gr./litre oil or per 900 gr. solid fat
6. Delicate dishes like croquettes, fish, ...: only cover the bottom of the bowl.

! Always remove all redundant icing-up in advance, again to avoid oil splashes.

! NEVER hang the basket, filled with frozen products above the oil as long as 130^ C is not reached. This causes dangerous splashes of the oil/fat.

1. Immerse the basket gently in the oil or fat to allow the water contained in the food to evaporate.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the oil, NEVER add salt or spices during the frying. It's better not to thaw out frozen portions, this way the quality will be much better.

1. Deep fryer with antidust lid: NEVER warm the deep fryer with the lid on and NEVER fry with the lid on

Deep fryer with filter lid: frying with the lid on the fryer is allowed

1. After frying pull the basket up and suspend it on the hook.

2. Bring the thermostat knob back to the position of the lowest temperature and disconnect the plug. Allow complete cooling before emptying and cleaning the deep fryer. Only fold in the basket handle when the oil has completely cooled off. Put the cord into the cord case.

IV. MAINTENANCE

1. Remove the plug before disassembling the deep fryer. First remove the basket, then the control panel with heating element and the bowl. The microswitch automatically switches off the deep fryer when removing the control panel.
2. -NEVER immerse the control panel in water or any other liquid. Only clean it with a damp cloth.

-Stainless steel housing, stainless steel lid and stainless steel bowl can be cleaned in the dishwasher or in hot water with detergent. Nevertheless, we recommend to clean the stainless steel parts in hot water with detergent, considering the aggressive detergents used in the dishwasher may affect the shine of the stainless steel.

-Clean the basket in hot water with detergent with a washing-up brush. NEVER let the basket soak in the water to avoid rusting.

1. If you want to clean your deep fryer quickly, easily and safely, we advise you to use the FRITEL cleaner for fryers. Thanks to the FRITEL cleaner for fryers, this will all be done in no time. Fill the bowl of the deep fryer with warm water at +40°C and add about 10 caps of FRITEL cleaner for fryers. The product must soak in for +/- 20 minutes, then empty the bowl. Rinse thoroughly and wipe with a soft towel. The FRITEL cleaner for fryers contains natural enzymes. So it's environment-friendly, biodegradable and non-toxic.
