Frequently Asked Questions - AR1K30 - 8004032110517 ARDES

How to use the deep fryer for the first time?

Before first use, clean the basket and tank with hot water and dish soap, then dry them. Make sure the tank is properly inserted, set the temperature and timer as indicated in the cooking chart. Preheat the appliance for 3 minutes before adding food.

Can I use oil in this deep fryer?

Yes, but only in a limited way: add half a spoonful of olive oil in a bowl with the food, mix and remove the excess before placing them in the basket. Never pour oil directly into the tank or basket.

Why are my fries not cooked?

This may be due to too much food in the basket or too low temperature. Reduce the quantity and increase the temperature. Refer to the cooking chart for optimal settings.

What to do in case of white smoke?

White smoke may come from greasy residues in the tank or overly fatty foods. Clean the tank and basket thoroughly after each use and avoid cooking very fatty foods like sausages.

How to clean the deep fryer?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool down. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. The basket and tank can be washed in the dishwasher. Use a brush or dry cloth to clean the heating element. Never immerse the appliance in water.

Are the basket and tank dishwasher safe?

Yes, the basket and tank are dishwasher safe. Use a gentle cycle and avoid abrasive detergents. Dry them well before reusing.

How to set the temperature and time?

Turn the thermostat knob (8) to the desired temperature (see cooking chart) and the timer knob (7) to the desired cooking time. The timer emits a beep when cooking is finished.

Can I cook frozen foods?

Yes, the deep fryer is suitable for frozen foods like fries, nuggets, or fish sticks. Refer to the cooking chart for recommended times and temperatures. It is often advised to preheat the appliance and shake halfway through.

How to prevent food from sticking?

The non-stick coating makes removal easier. Be careful not to use metal utensils that could scratch the surface. If necessary, add a little oil by mixing the food in a bowl before cooking.

What if the appliance does not turn on?

Check that the timer is set: the appliance only turns on if the timer is set. If the problem persists, check the plug and power outlet. If the appliance remains unresponsive, contact authorized customer service.
