- The deep fryer should only be operated on a stable, flat, non-slip, dry and non-flammable work surface, in order to prevent it from tipping over or slipping away.

DANGER! Risk of injury through burning

Hot fat and oil results in serious burns because it is significantly hotter than boiling water.

- If water drips into hot fat or oil, then this will lead to explosive deflagrations.

- Avoid any contact with hot fat/oil or splashes of fat or oil.

- Never move or transport the deep fryer when containing hot fat/oil.

- Never let water drip into the hot fat/oil.

- The frying basket and the food to be fried must be dry when they are put into the hot fat/oil. In particular in the case of deep-frozen food, any ice or melt water should be removed.

- The deep fryer should only be operated with dry hands.

- The frying basket and the lid should not be immersed in water or any other liquids before use.

- Make sure that all parts of the deep fryer are absolutely dry before they are used. In combination with the heated fat/oil, even small amounts of residual water may lead to explosive deflagra-tions.

- The lid should be kept closed during heating up and frying.

- Hot steam escapes from the oil filter during frying. Be careful not to put your hands into the steam.

- Do not touch the hot parts of the device, e.g. the openings in the lid. The frying basket should only be touched at the handle.

- After frying, the deep fryer should cool down for at least 1 to 2 hours before you empty the oil container and clean the device.

DANGER of slipping

- Avoid any splashes of oil/fat on the floor. There is a danger of slipping!

DANGER! Risk of electric shock due to moisture

- Protect the device from moisture, water drops and water splashes.

- Do not use the device in the open air or near vessels filled with water, e.g. sinks.

DANGER from the battery

• Be sure to observe the correct polarity when inserting the battery. Replace only with the same or an equivalent type.
• Batteries can be life-threatening if swallowed. Therefore you should store batteries out of the reach of young children. If a battery has been swallowed, medical assistance must be sought immediately.
• DANGER OF EXPLOSION! Batteries must not be charged or reactivated by other means, nor must they be dismantled, thrown into a fire or short-circuited.
• Always remove a used battery immediately from the device as it may leak and cause damage.
• Remove the battery from the device if you intend not to use it for an extended period of time. The battery may leak and damage the device.
• Do not subject batteries to extreme conditions, place them on radiators or expose them to direct sunlight. Otherwise, there is an increased danger of batteries leaking.
• If battery acid has leaked, avoid contact with the skin, eyes and mucous membranes. In case of contact with the acid, rinse the affected area at once with plenty of clean water and seek medical assistance immediately.
• Batteries must be properly disposed of after use.

WARNING! Risk of material damage

• Only use original accessories.
• Always use a frying basket when frying.
• The device is fitted with non-slip plastic feet. As furniture is coated with a variety of different varnishes and acrylics, and treated with different cleaning agents, it cannot be completely ruled out that components are contained in some of

these substances that could damage and soften the plastic feet. If necessary, place a non-slip mat under the device.

• Splashes of fat may occur during operation. You should therefore place the device on a surface that is resistant to both heat and grease.
• Frying oil and fat should not be disposed of into drains or the toilet! The oil or fat solidifies and can block the drains.
• Make sure that the surface under the device is dry.
• Never place the device on hot surfaces (e.g. hot plates) or near to heat sources or open fire.
• Do not clean using sharp objects or abrasive cleaning agents.

1 deep fryer 9 including lid 1 and electrical unit 10
1 frying basket 3
1 copy of the user instructions

5. The basics of frying

Preparation of the food

• All food must be as dry as possible when used for frying, because water will deflagrate explosively if it comes into contact with hot oil. Dry the food to be fried and remove any ice from frozen food.
• Deep-frozen food should be partially thawed before frying so that the food absorbs less oil. Remove as much water and ice as possible before you put the food into the deep fryer.
• Meat, fish, and vegetables should be cut into small pieces.
• In case of breaded food, please make sure that the breading sticks as tightly as possible to the food to be fried. Any breading falling off the food during frying contaminates the oil.

Frying time and frying temperature

• For a tasty and healthy result, the information on the packaging should be observed very carefully when selecting the temperature and the frying time.
• Only small quantities should be fried at a time.
• The frying basket 3 must not be filled more than up to the MAX marking 2. If more food to be fried is put into the basket, the temperature of the fat will drop too much, the frying process will take longer, and more fat will be absorbed by the food to be fried.
• Acrylamide can form when frying foods that contain starch (e.g. potato and cereal products). Acrylamide may be carcinogenic. In order to reduce the formation of acrylamide as much as possible, both high temperatures (of more than 170 °C) and browning the food too much should be avoided. With temperatures of more than 175 °C, significantly more acrylamide will be formed.

Which types of oil and fat are suitable?

There is a wide range of different types of oil. But not all types of fat and oil are suitable for frying.

• Figure C: for this deep fryer, we recommend using liquid frying oil. If you would like to use solid frying fat, you should first melt it slowly in a pan at a lower temperature and then pour it into the deep fryer. By doing so, you prevent the device from overheating and the fat from splashing.
• The fat or oil needs to tolerate high temperatures during frying. Be careful that the fat/oil may be heated at least up to 200 °C.

• The fats should only have a very low water content. The water evaporates when heated, and the fat starts spattering.

• Oils that are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids are very healthy when used in salads, but they are not suitable for frying, because they do not have the thermal stability required.

• Butter, margarine, and olive oil are not suitable.
• Rapeseed oil and sunflower oil for example are highly suitable.
• Different types of fat or oil should never be mixed!

Storage of used oil

• Contamination of the oil caused by frying reduces its useful life. In order to remove any coarse dirt, pour the melted fat through a sieve covered with a paper towel after each frying process before storing the oil.
• Light and oxygen damage the oil. It should therefore be stored in a tightly closed container in a dark, cool, and dry place.
• Under proper conditions, the fat can be stored for a few weeks.

Getting rid of unwanted flavours from the oil/fat

Some food, e.g. fish, loses liquid during frying. This gets into the oil/fat and alters its smell and flavour. This flavour is then passed on to the next food that gets fried in this oil/fat.

With a simple trick, you can reduce or even completely remove such unwanted flavours.

1. Heat the oil/fat to a temperature of approx. 150° C.
2. Put 2 thin slices of bread or a bit of parsley into the frying basket.
3. Put the frying basket 3 into the deep fryer and close the lid 1.
4. Wait until the oil/fat no longer stops spitting, and then take out the frying basket. The oil/fat should now have its own flavour again.

How to recognise bad oil

• If you identify one of the following features in the oil you are using, you should replace it completely:
• pungent, bad smell;
• fried food tastes bad;
• brown, hard deposits;
• foam formation during heating;
• thick smoke formation even at low temperatures.

What to do with the old oil?

WARNING! Risk of material damage!

- Frying oil and fat should not be disposed of into drains or the toilet! The oil or fat solidifies and can block the drains.

- Fat and oil can be disposed of as household waste in the customary household quantities.

• Do not put the fat/oil directly into the wheelie bin, but first place it into the original packaging or a plastic bag.
• You can also take the fat/oil to a designated collection point for used oil.

6. How to use

• Remove all packing material.
• Remove the protective film from the display 25.

• Remove the battery contact strip from the timer 26.

• Pry up the timer 26 at the recess and remove it from the electrical unit 10.

• Remove the battery contact strip.
• Insert the timer 26 into the electrical unit 10.

- Check that all accessories are present and undamaged.

- Clean the device prior to first use! (see "Cleaning and storage" on page 54).

- Place the device on a dry, level, non-slip surface. This surface should also be heat-resistant and not be damaged by splashes of hot fat.

NOTE: when in operation for the first time, some smoke and odour may be generated by the device. This is due to the assembly materials used for the heating element and is not a fault in the product. Ensure adequate ventilation.
