Introduction

The deep fryer is equipped with an adjustable thermostat, so that the temperature can be adapted to the food being fried.

The optimal and safe use of the deep fryer requires that the use instructions be read carefully.

Connection

The fryer must be connected to a properly installed 230V , 50Hz socket with earthing protection.

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 (8), container (6) and frying basket as described in „Cleaning".
3. Please pull the connecting cable out of the cable compartment (10).

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 of the deep fat frying basket has been correctly attached. Pass the ends of the handle through the holes if necessary, then press them together simultaneously and wedge them into the guide mechanism on the basket. The deep fat frying basket must not be more than 2/3 full. Do not overfill the frying basket (The maximum filling quantity for chips is 200g per litre of oil/fat).
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.) large amounts of foam may form, which under certain circumstances may cause the oil to overflow.

1. After use, unplug the deep fryer.
2. If you should accidentally switch on your deep fat fryer when there is no oil or fat in it the overheating protection is automatically turned on. The appliance is no longer ready to be used. Unplug the deep fryer.
3. Press the red „Restart" button (9) on the inside of the control element after the device has been allowed to cool down completely in order to use the deep fat fryer again.

Use

1. Make sure that the appliance is unplugged and switched off (The control lamps are off).
2. Take the lid off the deep fryer.
3. Remove the frying basket and fill the container with oil or grease (maximum 3.3 l). The filling level must be located between the minimum and the maximum level. Put the lid back on.

Please note the following important information!

If you use fat, divide it up into small pieces and place it on the floor of the deep frying vessel.

Under no circumstances should you place the fat in the deep frying basket!

1. Insert the plug into a 230V , 50Hz power socket. The green control lamp (4) lights up. Set the desired temperature by turning the temperature control (2).
2. The red control lamp (3) lights up and the green lamp goes off. Once the set temperature has been reached the red control lamp goes off and the green control lamp lights up again. Take the lid off and put the frying basket with the food to be fried carefully into the hot oil.
3. The red control lamp switches on and off several times during frying. This is normal and it indicates that the temperature is controlled by the thermostat and is being maintained. At the end of the frying time (the frying time is specified on the package of the food or in the recipe) open carefully the lid (Warning! Hot steam may be released!). Remove the frying basket.
