Before the First Use

Before you use the deep fryer for the first time please clean all individual components thoroughly and carefully dry them (see Chapter "Cleaning").

Low-Acrylamide Cooking

Acrylamide is a possibly carcinogenic substance formed from a reaction with amino acids when frying foodstuffs with a high starch content (at temperatures of more than 180^ ).

Therefore, if avoidable, do not fry foodstuffs that have a high starch content, for example chips, at temperatures in excess of 170^ . The items to be cooked should be fried until they are golden yellow, instead of dark brown. Only in this way can you achieve a low acrylamide level.

Frying

We recommend frying oil or liquid frying fat for use in this deep fryer. You can also use solid cooking fats. For this, first read the chapter „Solid Cooking Fats".

Preparations

1. Place the appliance on a horizontal, level and stable surface.

① Note:

If you wish to place the deep fryer below the extraction fan of the cooker, ensure that the cooker is switched off.

1. Completely remove the power cable from the cable compartment 9.

2. Open the appliance lid 12, in that you press together the lid release button 8. The appliance lid 12 flips open.

3. Pull the handle ④ upwards until it audibly clicks in. Remove the frying basket ② .

4. Fill the dry and empty stainless steel container of the deep fryer with cooking oil or liquid or molten fat (ca. 3 l oil or ca. 2,5 kg solid fat) up to the MAX marking.

① Note:

When charging the stainless steel container with fat, NEVER fill it to above the MAX marking or to below the MIN marking.

NEVER mix different types of oil or fat! The deep fryer could froth.

1. Insert the power plug into the socket.

The power cable may not make contact with the hot areas of the deep fryer. Danger of electrical shock!

① Note:

Only use oils or fats which are expressly marked as non-foaming and are suitable for deep frying. This information is to be found on the packaging or the labelling.

1. Replace the frying basket ②
2. Close the appliance lid 12.

Frying foodstuffs

1. Slide the temperature controller ⑦ to the desired temperature. The whole of the control lamp ⑥ lights up. The oil or fat is heated to the desired temperature within 15 minutes. When the set temperature has been reached the control lamp ⑤ extinguishes, except for a part on the left edge, indicating the readiness of the deep fryer.

① Note:

The correct frying temperature is to be found either on the food packaging or from the table in these operating instructions.

1. Pull the handle ④ upwards until it audibly clicks in.
2. Open the appliance lid 12, in that you press together the lid release button 8.
3. Remove the frying basket 2 and place into it the food to be fried.
4. Carefully replace the frying basket ② into the deep fryer.
5. Close the appliance lid ②. This must click in audibly.
6. Slide the handle locking button 3 to the rear. The handle 4 now allows itself to be lowered. The frying basket 2 is at the same time lowered into the hot oil or fat.

① Note:

The frying process can be overseen through the viewing window 1 in the appliance lid 12.

Solid Cooking Fats

To avoid both a splattering of the fats and the appliance becoming too hot, please observe the following precautionary measures:

• If you are using fresh fats, first slowly melt the blocks of fat under low heat in a normal pan. Carefully pour the molten fat into the deep fryer. First then insert the power plug into a socket and switch the deep fryer on.
  After use, store the deep fryer with the solidified fat at room temperatures.

Should the fat become too cold, it could cause splattering on remelting! To avoid this, poke a few holes into the solidified fat with a wooden or plastic spatula. Ensure that no damage is caused to the heating element.

To melt the fat, slide the temperature controller 7 to 150^ . The control lamp 6 glows.
- Wait until all of the fat has melted. First then set the desired frying temperature.

After Frying

• When the food is ready, pull the handle ④ upwards until the handle locking button ③ clicks in.
• Leave the frying basket ② in this position to drip off.
• Slide the temperature controller ① all the way to the left (_OFF) . The deep fryer is now switched off. Remove the power plug from the wall socket.
• When the food has dripped off, open the appliance lid 12, in that you press together the lid release button 3.
• Carefully lift the frying basket ② out of the deep fryer. If necessary, shake off any excess oil or fat over the deep fryer.
• Tip the fried food into a bowl or a sieve (lined with absorbent kitchen paper!)

If you do not use the deep fryer regularly it is recommended that, after cooling, the oil or liquified fat is poured into a well sealed container and stored in the refrigerator or a cool storeroom. Fill the container through a sieve, in order to remove any food particles from the oil or fat.

Changing the frying oil or fat

Change the oil first when it has completely cooled down. Solid fats must still be in a liquid state so that they can be poured.

• Open the appliance lid 12.
• Remove the frying basket ②.
• Remove the control/heating element 5. Place the operating/heating element 5 at a clean and dry location.
• Carefully remove the stainless steel container 10 with the oil or fat from the deep fryer.
• Pour the oil or fat into suitable containers, for example bottles.

① Note:

Used fats or oil do not belong in the domestic refuse or on the compost heap. Make enquiries at your local community administration office about suitable collection dumps.

• Thoroughly clean all parts of the deep fryer, as described in the Chapter „Cleaning".
• Refill the deep fryer with fresh oil or fat, as described in the Chapter „Frying".

Cleaning

Danger!

Remove the power cable from the wall socket before cleaning.

Allow the deep fryer to cool down.

To simplify cleaning, completely dismantle the deep fryer:

1. Open the appliance lid 12 and remove it by pulling it upwards.
2. Pull the handle 4 upwards until it audibly clicks in. Remove the frying basket ②.
3. Pull the operating/heating element ⑤ upwards from guiding rails. Place the operating/heating element ⑤ at a clean and dry location.
4. Take out the stainless steel container 10 and remove the fat or oil.

NEVER submerse the control and heating element, the power cable and plug or the appliance housing under water and NEVER clean them under running water! If required, clean this element with a moist cloth.

• The appliance lid 12, the frying basket 2 and the stainless steel container 10 can be cleaned in the dishwasher. They are suitable for dish-washers.
• Clean the housing with a moist cloth. If required, use a mild detergent on the cloth.
• For cleaning the components do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents or materials such as scouring milk or steel wool.
• Reassemble the deep fryer in the reverse order.
• Roll the power cable together and place it, together with the power plug, into the cable compartment ⑨.
• Lift the appliance with the assistance of the lateral carrying recesses.
• Store the appliance with the appliance lid closed ⑫. This will keep the inside of the deep fryer clean and free of dust.

Tips

Home-made chips

Potatoes intended for frying should be faultless and not germinating.
- Use potato varieties suitable for frying, such as "King Edward", "Morris Piper", "Cara" etc.
After peeling, cut the potatoes according to the intended preparation (chips or slices).
- Soak the potatoes for ca. one hour before frying. This will help remove a portion of the sugar content, which is one of the constituent products for the formation of acrylamides.

• Carefully dry the potatoes.
  Always fry home-made chips twice:
  first for 10-12 minutes at 160^ then for 3-4 minutes at 170^, depending on the desired degree of browning.
• Deep frozen chips are pre-cooked and thus only need to be fried once. Comply with the instructions on the packaging.

Frozen Foods

Deep frozen foodstuffs (-16 to -18 °C) cool the oil or fat considerably, because of this do not cook fast enough and possibly soak up too much oil of fat. To avoid these things, proceed as follows:

• Do not fry large amounts at once (see Table).
• Heat the oil for at least 15 minutes before inserting the frozen foodstuffs.
• Adjust the temperature controller ⑦ to the temperature specified in these operating instructions or on the packaging of the foodstuff.
• Preferably, allow the deep frozen food to thaw at room temperature. Remove as much ice and water as possible before inserting the food into the deep fryer.

Attention!

Always close the appliance lid 12 before lowering the frying basket 2 into the hot oil or fat. There is a risk of fire caused by splashing fat!

Always insert the foodstuffs as slowly and carefully as possible into the deep fryer, as deep frozen foods can cause the oil or fat to bubble heftily and abruptly.

How to remove undesirable after-tastes

Some foodstuffs, especially fish, release fluids when being fried. These fluids collect in the oil or fat and can influence the smell and taste of fried foods that are later cooked in the same oil or fat.

Proceed as follows to again obtain a neutral tasting oil or fat:

• Heat the fat or oil to 160^ C and place two thin slices of bread or a couple of small sprigs of parsley into the frying basket ②.

Attention!

Absolutely close the appliance lid 12 before lowering the frying basket with the parsley or the bread into hot oil or fat. Splattering fats can lead to serious burns.
- Wait until the oil or fat is no longer bubbling and remove the bread or parsley with a skimmer. The oil or fat now has a neutral taste once again.

Healthy Nutrition

Nutritional experts recommend the use of vegetable oils and fats containing unsaturated fatty acids (e.g. Linol acid). However, these oils and fats lose their positive characteristics faster than other oils and must therefore be exchanged more frequently. Orientate yourself on the following guidelines:

• Exchange the oil or fat regularly. If you use the deep fryer mainly to prepare chips and strain the oil or fat after every use, it can be used 10 to 12 times.
  However, do not use an oil or fat for longer than six months. Always follow the instruction given on the packaging.

• As a general rule, oils and fats can be used for a lesser time if you mainly fry foods with lots of proteins, such as meat or fish.

• Do not mix fresh oil with old oil.
• Change the oil or fat if it foams on being heated, it develops a strong taste or odour, it becomes dark and/or it develops a syrupy consistency.

Overheat Protection

In a case of overheating, the heat protection function switches the appliance off. The control lamp 6 then glows only on the left side.

This can happen if there is no, or not sufficient, oil or fat in the deep fryer or when solid cooking fats are being molten in the appliance.

With solid cooking fats the heating element cannot disburse the heat created fast enough.

If the heat protection function has switched the appliance off, please proceed as follows:

• Allow the oil or fat to cool down.
• Carefully press the reset button 16 on the rear side of the operating element with a small pointed object. The appliance can now be used again.
