and all foods should be fried max to a gold colour:

170°C for all potatoes, breaded food and all other starch containing products

190°C for meat and poultry with no breading

In opposite to the tips on the packaging of frozen food we advise to defrost the food short before

frying to avoid any ice inside the fryer.

Remaining of breading or other food should be removed from the oil regularly.

• The fat should be cooled down after frying. Them the fat should be poured into a bowl. After

that the fryer and the basket should be cleaned. Put a coffee filter paper into the basket and

put the basket into the fryer and pour the fat slowly into the filter.

• At fish or meat the oil can be used 5-10times. When potatoes are used the fat can be used

longer.Attention: Old or dirty fat can be inflamed when it is overheated, therefore it must be exchanged

on time. In case of fire, pull the plug out of the socket and extinguish the fire by closing the

lid. Never use water to extinguish the fire!
