  The appliance should be set up in a stable location using the handles to avoid spillage of hot liquids.
• Never lift the stainless steel container out of the housing during operation.
• Never use the closed lid to lift the stainless steel container out of the housing when it is filled with hot fat.

WARNING! RISK OF FIRE!

• Do not use an external timing switch or a separate remote control system to operate the appliance.
  NEVER melt solid fat (fat in blocks) in the deep fat fryer. The heating element may be damaged by the high temperature or there is a risk of fire! Melt the fat beforehand in a saucepan or similar.

WARNING! RISK OF FIRE!

• Do not use the appliance near hot surfaces.
• Never leave the appliance unattended while it is being used.

Caution! Hot surface!

NEVER use water to extinguish a fire in the deep fat fryer!

• Old or dirty fats and oils can spontaneously ignite if overheated. Change the oils or fats regularly. In the case of a fire, remove the plug from the mains power socket and smother the burning fat or oil with a damp towel or fire blanket.

CAUTION - APPLIANCE DAMAGE!

• When filling the stainless steel container with fat, NEVER fill it to above the MAX marking or to below the MIN marking. First ensure that there is sufficient oil or fat in the deep fat fryer every time you intend to switch the appliance on.
  NEVER switch the appliance on if there is no oil or liquid fat in it.
  This deep fat fryer is suitable only for frying foodstuff s. It is not designed for cooking liquids.

Before first use

1) Before you use the deep fat fryer for the first time please clean all individual components thoroughly and carefully dry them (see Chapter "Cleaning and Care").

Low-acrylamide cooking

Acrylamide is a possibly carcinogenic substance formed from a reaction with amino acids when frying foodstuff s with a high starch content. The formation of acrylamide increases rapidly at temperatures of more than 175^

You should therefore avoid frying foodstuff s with a high starch content, for example chips, at temperatures above 170^ . The foodstuff s should only be fried to golden-yellow, instead of dark or brown. This is the only way to achieve low-acrylamide cooking.

Deep frying

We recommend cooking oil or liquid cooking fat for use in this deep fat fryer. You can also use solid cooking fats. Read the chapter "Solid Cooking Fats" for more information.

Preparation

1) Place the appliance on a horizontal, level, stable and heat-resistant surface.

NOTE

If you wish to place the deep fat fryer below the cooker extraction hood, ensure that the cooker is switched off.

2) Pull the mains cable from the power cable retainer 1 on the rear of the control and heating element 0.
3) Press the lid release button ④ and lift the lid off at the same time.
4) Remove the frying basket 6 and attach the handle 14 to the frying basket 6:

• Press the rods of the handle together a little so that the holding pins can be inserted into the eyelets on the frying basket:

• Loosen your grip on the compressed rods on the handle 14 so that the rods move apart and the holding pins project into the holes:

• The handle is now sitting firmly on the frying basket.

TIPS

• Only use oils or fats which are specific cally labelled as non-foaming and are suitable for deep frying. This information is to be found on the packaging or the labelling.
  NEVER mix different types of oil or fat! The deep fat fryer could froth over.

5) Fill the dry and empty stainless steel container (with inserted control and heating element) with cooking oil, liquid or molten fat (about 3.2 litres of oil or about 2.5kg of solid fat).

NOTE

• When filling the stainless steel container ⑫ with oil or fat, NEVER fill it to above the MAX mark or to below the MIN mark.
  6) Insert the plug into the mains power socket.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

The power cable must not come into contact with the hot areas of the deep fat fryer. Risk of electric shock!

7) Replace the frying basket 6
8) Close the lid by pressing the lid release button 4 and putting the lid into place. Release the lid release button 4 so that the lid is secure.

Frying foods

1) Switch on the deep fat fryer using the on/off switch ⑦. The control lamp integrated in the on/off switch ⑧ lights up.
2) Turn the temperature controller to the desired temperature. The cooking oil or the fat is now heated up to the required temperature. When the required temperature has been reached, the green control lamp lights up.

NOTE

The correct frying temperature is to be found either on the food packaging or in the frying times table in these operating instructions. A rough guide as to which foods should be fried at what temperature is given by the pictures on the front of the deep fat fryer:

Symbol Food Temperature
Prawns 130°C
Chicken 150°C
Chips (fresh) 170°C
Fish 190°C

The values given are only for guidance. The temperature can vary depending on the properties of the foods and personal taste!

WARNING - RISK OF INJURY!

The lid and the deep fat fryer become extremely hot during the cooking process. For this reason, do not touch anything except the handle during frying! Risk of burning! We recommend the use of oven gloves.

3) Press the lid release button ④ and remove the lid.

4) Lift the frying basket ⑥ out of the deep fat fryer. Add the food to be fried. Do not fill the frying basket ⑥ to more than the max. fill level marked on the inside of the frying basket ⑥ . However, always take note of the frying quantity indicated on the packaging of the food being fried!
5) Carefully lower the frying basket 6 into the hot oil or fat.
6) Close the lid so that it is firmly in place.

NOTE

The frying process can be monitored through the viewing window 5 in the lid.

Solid cooking fats

To prevent fat from spraying and the appliance from becoming too hot, please take the following precautions when using solid frying fat:

When using fresh fat, start by melting the blocks of fat slowly, under low heat, in a separate pan. Then carefully pour the molten fat into the deep fat fryer. When this has been done, insert the plug into a mains power socket and switch the deep fat fryer on.
After use, store the deep fat fryer with the solidified fat at room temperatures.

If the fat gets too cold, it could cause splattering on remelting! To avoid this, poke a few holes into the solidifi ed fat with a wooden or plastic spatula. Ensure that you do not damage the operating/heating element 10.

To melt the fat, switch on the appliance using the on/off switch 7 and set the temperature control 9 to 130^ . The integrated control lamp in the on/off switch will light up.
Wait until all of the fat has melted. The green control lamp can come on and go out several times during this process. Do not set the desired frying temperature until all of the fat has melted.

Afterfrying

1) When the fried food is ready, press the lid release button 4 and remove the lid.
2) Lift the frying basket ⑥ and hook it onto the rim of the appliance so that excess fat can drip off.
3) Press the on/off switch ⑦. The deep fat fryer is now switched off. Remove the plug from the mains power socket.

GB IE

WARNING - RISK OF INJURY!

• Never touch the frying basket ⑥ directly after frying. It will be extremely hot! Lift the frying basket ⑥ out of the deep fat fryer only by the handle 14!

4) Once the fried food has dripped dry, carefully lift the frying basket ⑥ out of the deep fat fryer.

5) Tip the fried food into a bowl or a sieve (lined with absorbent kitchen paper!). If you do not use the deep fat fryer regularly, it is advisable to store the cooled oil in well-sealed bottles or other containers in the refrigerator or a similar cool storage location. Fill the container through a sieve, in order to remove any food particles from the oil.

Changing the cooking oil or fat

Do not change the oil until it has completely cooled down. Solid fats must still be in a slightly liquid state so that they can be poured.

1) Press the lid release button 4 and remove the lid.
2) Remove the frying basket 6.
3) Remove the control and heating element 10.
4) Place the control and heating element 10 in a clean and dry location.
5) Carefully remove the stainless steel container 12 with the oil or fat from the deep fat fryer. To do this, hold it by the side handles.
6) Pour the oil or fat into suitable containers, for example bottles. Use the pouring funnel at the corner of the stainless steel container 12.

NOTE

The disposal of cooking oils and fats is regulated differently in every community or town. Disposal of such oils or fats in the normal household refuse is often prohibited. Make enquiries at your local community administration office about suitable disposal sites.

7) Thoroughly clean all parts of the deep fat fryer as described in the Chapter "Cleaning and Care".
8) Refi II the deep fat fryer with fresh oil or fat as described in the Chapter "Frying".

3) Remove the frying basket 6.
4) Pull the control and heating element 10 upwards out of the guide rails. Place the control and heating element 10 in a clean and dry location.
5) Remove the stainless steel container 12 and pour out the cooled fat or oil.

The frying basket 6 and the stainless steel container 12 can be cleaned in the dishwasher. They are suitable for dishwashers.
Clean the housing with a moist cloth. If required, use a mild detergent on the cloth.
Clean the control and heating element with a moist cloth. If necessary, add a little mild detergent to the cloth. Wipe this off afterwards using a damp cloth so that all detergent residue is removed. Dry the control and heating element thoroughly.
Clean the permanent metal filter 2 in warm water containing a mild detergent.

GB IE

Clean the appliance lid in warm water containing a mild detergent. Rinse the appliance lid off with clear water. Dry the appliance lid well and then place it upright on its side so that any excess water still inside the lid can drain away. Be aware that the lid MUST be completely dry before re-use!

6) Dry all parts well before reassembly.
7) Reassemble the deep fat fryer in the reverse order.

Storage

1) Lift or carry the appliance using the side carrying handles on the housing 13.
2) Push the power cable into the power cable retainer 1 on the control and heating element 10.
3) Store the appliance with the appliance lid closed. This will keep the inside of the deep fat fryer clean and free of dust.

Tips

Home-made chips

Potatoes intended for frying should be in good condition and not germinating.
Use potato varieties that are suitable for frying, such as "King Edward", "Maris Piper", "Cara", etc.
After peeling, cut the potatoes according to the intended preparation (chips or slices).
Soak the potatoes for about one hour before frying. This will help remove part of the sugar content, which is one of the constituent products for the formation of acrylamide.
Carefully dry the potatoes.
Always fry home-made potatoes twice:

• first for 10 - 14 minutes at 150^ then for 3 - 4 minutes at 170^ , depending on the desired degree of browning.

Deep-frozen chips are pre-cooked and thus only need to be fried once. Comply with the instructions on the packaging.

Frozen foods

Deep-frozen foodstuff s (-16 to -18°C) cool the oil or fat to a considerable extent, because of this they do not cook fast enough and may also soak up too much oil or fat. To avoid this, proceed as follows:

■ Do not attempt to fry large volumes all at once. Do not fit the frying basket 6 to more than the maximum fill level marked on the inside of the basket.
Heat the oil for at least 15 minutes before adding the frozen foods.

Adjust the temperature control to the temperature specified in these operating instructions or on the food's packaging.

■ Preferably, allow the deep frozen food to thaw at room temperature. Remove as much ice and water as possible before adding the food into the deep fat fryer.
Always add foods as slowly and carefully as possible into the deep fat fryer, as deep frozen foods can cause the oil or fat to bubble violently and abruptly.

How to hinder unwanted aftertastes

Some foodstuff s, especially fi sh, release fl uids when being fried. These fl uids collect in the oil or fat and can influ vence the smell and taste of fried foods that are later cooked in the same oil or fat.

Proceed as follows to obtain a neutral-tasting oil or fat:

Heat the fat or oil to 150^ and place two thin slices of bread or a couple of small sprigs of parsley into the frying basket.
Lower the frying basket 6 into the fat and close the lid.
Wait until the oil or fat is no longer bubbling and remove the bread or parsley with a skimmer. The oil or fat now has a neutral taste once again.

Healthy nutrition

Nutritional experts recommend the use of vegetable oils and fats containing unsaturated fatty acids (e.g. linoleic acid). However, these oils and fats lose their positive characteristics faster than other oils and must therefore be exchanged more frequently.

Orient yourself on the following guidelines:

Exchange the oil or fat regularly. If you use the deep fat fryer mainly to prepare chips and strain the oil or fat after every use, it can be used 10 to 12 times.

GB IE

However, do not use the oil or fat for longer than six months. Always follow the instructions given on the packaging.
As a general rule, oils and fats cannot be used so often if you mainly fry foods with lots of proteins, such as meat or fish.
Do not mix fresh oil with old oil.
Change the oil or fat if it foams on being heated, if it develops a strong taste or odour, if it becomes dark and/or if it develops a syrupy consistency.

Heat protection function

In a case of overheating, the heat protection function switches the appliance off.

This can happen if there is no, or not sufficiently, oil or fat in the deep fat fryer or when solid cooking fats are being melted in the appliance.

When using solid cooking fats, the control and heating element ⑩ cannot give off the heat that is generated quickly enough.

If the heat protection function has switched the appliance off, please proceed as follows:

1) Allow the appliance to cool down.
2) Leave the oil or fat to cool (the fat should just be liquid).
3) Open the appliance lid by pressing on the lid release button 4
4) Remove the frying basket 6.
5) Remove the operating/heating element 10.
6) Place the operating/heating element 10 in a clean and dry location.
7) Carefully press the reset button on the control and heating element with a small pointed object.

The appliance can now be used again.

Table - frying times

This table provides details of the temperatures at which specific foods must be fried and how much frying time is required for them. Should these details differ from those shown on the food packaging, please observe the instructions given on the packaging.

Food	Temperature (approx.)	Time in minutes
