Frequently Asked Questions - FR 2786 CLATRONIC

How to use the FR 2786 deep fryer?

Make sure the appliance is unplugged. Remove the lid, take out the basket and fill the tank with oil between the Min and Max marks. Place the lid, plug in the appliance, set the temperature with the TEMP buttons, then press START/STOP. Once the temperature is reached (beep), remove the lid, place the basket with food into the oil, set the timer (TIME buttons) and close the lid. When done, open carefully, remove the basket, drain, then turn off with START/STOP and unplug.

What oil to use in the deep fryer?

Use a good quality oil or fat that can withstand high temperatures. Avoid margarine, olive oil or butter as they smoke at low temperatures. To reduce acrylamide, do not exceed 170°C (175°C max) for starchy foods.

How to clean the FR 2786 deep fryer?

Unplug and wait for the appliance to cool down for 1 to 2 hours. Unlock the oil tank, discard the oil. Clean the lid and walls with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The basket and tank are dishwasher safe. Never immerse the appliance in water. Do not use abrasives.

How often to change the frying oil?

Change the oil after 8 to 10 uses. Regularly remove suspended frying residues to extend its life.

What to do if the appliance does not turn on?

Check that the outlet works and the cable is properly plugged. If the appliance heated empty, the overheat protection has triggered. Unplug, let it cool, then press the red Restart button on the back.

How much oil to put in the tank?

Fill the tank between the Min and Max marks. The maximum capacity is 3 liters. Do not exceed the Max level to avoid overflow.

How to use the timer?

Set the cooking time (max 30 minutes) with the TIME + or - buttons. The countdown starts automatically after setting. A beep indicates the end. You can reprogram if necessary.

Can I fry frozen foods?

Yes, but dry them first with a towel to prevent excessive foaming. Very wet foods (frozen fries) may cause overflow. Do not overfill the basket.

Putting into use

Before using for the first time

1. Remove the packaging. Then take the lid off the deep fat fryer. In the deep fat fryer you will find a frying basket. Take all objects out of the fryer
2. It is highly recommended to clean the lid, casing (5), container (7) and frying basket as described in CLEANING.

Useful hints for use

1. Always remove the food remaining in the oil (e.g. pieces of French fries). Change the oil after using it 8-10 times.
2. Deep frying fat must be capable of being heated to high temperatures. Use high quality frying oil or frying grease. Do not use margarine, olive oil or butter: they are not fit for frying, because they start to smoke already at low temperatures. In order to reduce the acrylamide content of food containing starch (potatoes, cereals) the temperature during deep-fat frying should not exceed 170^ (or possibly 175^ ). Furthermore, the frying time should be kept as short as possible and the food only fried until it turns golden yellow.
3. If necessary insert the control element (1) into the guide mechanism so that it is fixed firmly in place.
4. Choose the right frying temperature and check the conditions of the food to be fried. A rule of thumb is that pre-fried foods require a higher temperature than raw foods.
5. Do not carry or move the deep fryer if the oil or grease is still hot.
6. When frying dough-like foods scrape off the excess dough and put the pieces carefully into the oil.
7. Please ensure that the handle on the deep frying basket is locked in place. Do not overfill the frying basket.
8. Rub dry humid foods with a cloth before frying.
   Caution: In the case of foodstuffs which are too moist (e.g. frozen chips etc.)
