• Ensure the machine is always kept out of the reach of children.

• Ensure that a child cannot pull down or tip the appliance onto himself or herself.

• Ensure that the packing foil does not become a deadly trap for a child. Packing film is not a toy.

4.7 Protection against scalds and burns

Warning! As the appliance operates at high temperatures, please observe the following safety information so that you do not burn or scald yourself.

• All parts must be completely dry before you pour oil or liquid fat into the deep- fat fryer. Otherwise the heated fat could spit badly.

• You should ideally use frying oil or liquid frying fat. RP87713 Friteuse LB1 Seite 64 Mittwoch, 10. April 2013 2:56 14SKF 2800 A1 65

• If you use solid frying fat, you should first melt the blocks of fat slowly in a normal pan in order to avoid overheating and the fat spitting. Then pour the melted fat carefully into the deep-fat fryer before switching the fryer on.

• You must only use oils or fats that do not foam and that are suitable for frying. Please refer to the packaging or label for further information.

• Hot steam is released during the frying process. Maintain an adequate distance from the steam.

• The fat may start spitting when melted again if it is too cold! Avoid this by mak- ing some holes with a fork in the re-solid- ified fat. Be careful not to damage the heating element 15 while doing so.

• If you wish to move the appliance, switch it off, pull out the plug and wait until the appliance has cooled down.

4.8 Handling batteries

Warning! To prevent a risk of explosion, normal batteries must not be charged, heated or disposed of by burning.

• Never try to open the batteries. To prevent injury if battery acid has leaked out, avoid contact with the skin, eyes and mucous membranes. In the event of contact with the acid, rinse the affected areas immediately with plenty of clean water and contact a doctor at once. Caution! To avoid damaging the appliance and to ensure it functions correctly, please note:

• Only use type AG13 batteries.

Tip 1: How to avoid the excess formation of acrylamide Acrylamide is a chemical substance that is formed whenever foods containing starch or a certain protein compound at prepared at temperatures over 100 °C.

• Wherever possible, you should avoid excess browning, high temperatures for baking or frying or fierce frying.

• You should not eat burnt food at all.

• When deep-frying, you should avoid temperatures of over 170 °C.

• Make sure that the colour of the fried items is “golden yellow” rather than brown or dark. Browning may develop very quickly. Use the viewing window to observe the browning level of the fried items. Tip 2: How to fry frozen items perfectly every time Caution!

• Preferably, thaw out frozen food at room temperature before frying. Remove as much ice and water as possible before placing the items in the fryer. Add the food as slowly and carefully as possible to the fryer because frozen food can abruptly and quickly cause the hot oil or fat to bubble.

• Frozen food (-16 to -18° C) greatly cools down oil or fat, therefore it fries more slowly and may absorb too much oil or fat. You can prevent this as follows: Never fry large quantities at the same time.

1. Heat the oil for at least 15 minutes prior

2. Set the temperature control device 10 to

the temperature stated on the pack of the frozen food. Tip 3: How to get rid of undesired aftertastes Some foodstuffs, such as fish, leach liquid during frying. It collects in the frying oil or fat and thus impairs the smell and taste of the fried food. To have neutral tasting oil or fat again, proceed as follows:

1. Heat the oil or fat to 160 ° C.

2. Place two thin slices of bread or a few

sprigs of parsley in the stainless steel fryer.

3. Wait until the oil or fat no longer

4. Remove the bread or the parsley with a

slotted spoon. The oil or fat has a neutral taste again.
