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 t for

frying, because they start to smoke already at low tempera-

We recommend the use of liquid frying oil.

Please note this important information if you intend

If you use fat, please divide it up into small pieces. Turn

the thermostat to a low temperature and add the pieces

slowly. Once the fat has melted and the correct oil level

is reached you can set the desired temperature on the

3. In order to reduce the acrylamide content of food contain-

ing 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.
