Special Safety Advice for this Device

• The device should only be touched using the handles

• Do not move the device when the fat is liquid/hot.

• When the device is being used as a deep-fat fryer the

lid should be kept tightly closed.

• Please  ll the basket outside the deep-fat dryer in

order to prevent splashes.

• Please always use the frying basket for deep-frying.

Never mix fats and oils, as the deep fat fryer could

spill over. Even the mixing of various types of oil

and fat with one another is dangerous!

• If the deep fat fryer should catch  re, do not under

any circumstances attempt to extinguish the  ames

with water. Instead, replace the lid and su ocate the

 ames with a damp cloth.

The deep fryer is equipped with an adjustable thermo-

stat, so that the temperature can be adapted to the food

The fryer must be connected to a properly installed

230 V, 50 Hz socket with earthing protection.

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

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  t 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° C (or possibly

175° C). Furthermore, the frying time should be kept

as short as possible and the food only fried until it

turns golden yellow.

3. 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

grease is still hot.

a piece of the food to be fried into the hot oil. If

bubbles are formed, the frying fat has reached the
