Correct temperature The correct temperature is very important for

achieving the desired deep frying result:

• temperature too low: The food is fried too slowly

and absorbs too much oil or fat.

• temperature too high: The food is browned too

quickly and remains raw on the inside.

Suitable food for deep frying Nearly all foodstuffs are suitable for deep frying, e.g.:

poultry, fish, meat, vegetables, fruit, potatoes.

Foods with a high water content are less suitable.

Before lowering food into the frying fat, dry carefully,

shake off any surplus flour, and firmly press on the

Frozen food Remove ice from deep frozen foodstuffs. Fill the

basket outside the deep fryer.

Moist or frozen food leads to violent foaming of the

fat when it is inserted. Slowly lower the filled basket

several times. This prevents overflowing of the fat.

Deep frying large amounts If you wish to fry a large amount of food at once, we

recommend that you remove the basket after

1-2 minutes and place it in the hanger rack to enable

the oil or fat to reach its original temperature more

quickly. This makes the fried food more crispy.

Deep frying fat or oil After every use of the deep fryer, remove any

remainders of food from the oil or fat. Line a metal

sieve with kitchen paper and filter the lukewarm oil or

fat through the paper.

If the deep fried food no longer becomes the usual

crispy brown despite the correct temperature setting

or if the oil or fat turns slightly brown you have to

Cleaning the deep fryer After draining the oil, remove coarse soiling in the

warm water and added detergent. Clean the frying

basin and the heating element using a soft brush.

Avoid scratching or scrubbing as this could cause

permanent scratches.

Tilt up the heating element so that it clicks into the

bracket. Then you can clean the bottom of the frying

basin under the heating element.
