• Do not close the lid of the deep fat fryer during operation, as the oil might overow and cause a re. The lid should only be used for protection during storage after the oil has cooled down.

• Never add water to the oil!

• Oils and fats may burn when overheated. Please be ca- reful! Do not forget to switch the device off after use! First turn the thermostat to the lowest position and then remove the mains plug. CAUTION:

OVERHEATING OF THE HEATING ELEMENT

Please note this important information if you would like to use fat in the deep fat fryer! The fat has to be melted slowly so that it can enclose the heating element. When fat is placed in the deep fat fryer for the first time or melted again, there is a danger of overheating if the selected temperature is too high! Placing fat in the deep fat fryer for the first time

Do not heat the fat above 50°C in order to prevent injury when transferring it from the vessel to the deep fat fryer.

• Transfer the liqueed fat to the frying fat container.

• Once the required oil level has been reached you can set the desired temperature on the thermostat. Reheating hardened fat in the deep fat fryer If the fat in the deep fat fryer has become hard, it is difficult to know how much it has already melted down at the heating element.

• Turn the thermostat slowly up until the control lamp shows that the heating is working. STOP! Do not turn any further! The heating will now slowly heat up the fat.

• A short time later the heating switches off again.

• Turn the heating on again by readjusting the thermostat.

• Repeat the process until the fat has melted.

• Please do not operate the device with an external timer or a separate remote control system.ENGLISH

It is intended exclusively for this purpose and may only be used as such. It may only be used in the manner described in these instructions for use. The device must not be used for commer- cial purposes. Any other use of this device is considered to be contrary to the intended use and may result in damage to materials or even personal injury. The rm ETV - Elektro-Technische Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH does not accept any liability for damage caused as a result of the use of this device contrary to its intended use. 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, container

and frying basket as described in Cleaning.

3. Please pull the connecting cable out of the cable compart-

ment. Useful hints for use

1. Always remove the food remaining in the oil (e.g. pieces of

French fries). After the device has been used several times you should change the oil. Use high quality frying oil or frying grease.

2. Fats and oils must be heatable to high temperatures. Do not

use margarine, olive oil or butter: they are not fit for frying, because they start to smoke already at low temperatures. We recommend the use of liquid frying oil.

• It is essential to change the fat / oil regularly.

• Do not use any frozen food containing ice!

• If food containing too much moisture (e.g. chips containing a lot of ice etc.) is used, there is a strong tendency to form foam, which in the worst case may cause the hot fat / oil to overow and result in injuries.

3. In order to reduce the acrylamide content of food containing

starch (potatoes, cereals) the temperature during deep-fat frying should not exceed 170° C (or possibly 175° C). Fur- thermore, the frying time should be kept as short as possible and the food only fried until it turns golden yellow.

4. Please note that the safety switch (4) is operated when the

control element is inserted into the guide mechanism.

5. Choose the right frying temperature and check the condi-

tions of the food to be fried. A rule of thumb is that pre-fried foods require a higher temperature than raw foods.

6. Do not carry or move the deep fryer if the oil or grease is still hot.

7. When frying dough-like foods scrape off the excess dough

and put the pieces carefully into the oil.

8. Please ensure that the handle of the deep fat frying basket

has been correctly attached.

• Press the ends of the wire together at the free end of the handle.

• Insert the brackets into wire hoops inside the basket.

• The deep fat frying basket must not be more than 2/3 full. Do not overfill the frying basket.

9. 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 overow. 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 l). The lling level must be located between the minimum and the maximum level.

4. Insert the plug into a 230 V, 50 Hz power socket. The red

control lamp lights up. Set the desired temperature by turn- ing the temperature control (3).

5. The green control lamp lights up. Once the set temperature

has been reached the green control lamp goes off. Place the frying basket containing the items to be fried carefully into the hot fat.

6. The green 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. Once the frying time is over (the frying times are to be found on the packaging of the food or in the recipe), please take out the frying basket.

7. Let the oil drip from the food being fried.

8. In order to switch off the machine, please turn the tempera-

ture regulator to MIN and remove the plug from the socket. Wind the mains lead up in the form of a spiral in the cable compartment.ENGLISH

1. Make sure that the plug is pulled out.

2. Wait until the deep fryer is completely cool before cleaning.

Wait in any case for 1 to 2 hours after use before using again to avoid burns.

3. In order to change the oil, pull out the deep frying fat con-

tainer and pour the oil out at the side.

4. Please do not immerse the device in water.

5. Clean the deep frying fat container, the lid and the housing

with a damp clothand household detergent if necessary. Please do not immerse in water.

6. The deep frying basket can be cleaned in the usual way in

7. Avoid using abrasive materials or sharp objects. These may

damage the deep fryer! Troubleshooting Device is not working Troubleshooting:

• Check the mains connection.

• Check the position of the thermostat. Other possible causes: The device is fitted with a safety switch (4). This prevents the heater being switched on accidentally. Troubleshooting: Check that the control element is correctly in place. Overheating Protection

• 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.

• Only after the device has been left to cool down completely should the „RESTART“ button (5) on the rear of the control element be operated in order to use the deep fat fryer again. For this you should use a plastic or wooden object that is the least 4 cm long.
