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 fi re 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 fi re, remove the plug from the mains power socket and smother the burning fat or oil with a damp towel or fi re blanket. CAUTION – APPLIANCE DAMAGE! ► When fi lling the stainless steel container with fat, NEVER fi ll it to above the MAX marking or to below the MIN marking. First ensure that there is suffi cient 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 fi rst use 1) Before you use the deep fat fryer for the fi rst time please clean all individual com-ponents 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°C.You should therefore avoid frying foodstuff s with a high starch content, for example chips, at temperatures above 170°C. 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.

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 separ ate 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 solidifi ed fat at room temperatures. If the fat gets too cold, it could cause splattering on r emelting! 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 0. ■ To melt the fat, switch on the appliance using the on/off switch 7 and set the temper ature control 9 to 130˚C. The integrated control lamp in the on/ off switch 7 will light up. ■ Wait until all of the fat has melted. The green control lamp 8 can come on and go out se veral times during this process. Do not set the desired frying temperature until all of the fat has melted. After frying

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 .

WARNING – RISK OF INJURY! ► Never touch the frying basket 6 dir ectly after frying. It will be extremely hot! Lift the frying basket 6 out of the deep fat fryer only by the handle r!

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

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.

3) Remove the control and heating element 0.

4) Place the control and heating element 0 in a clean and dry location.

5) Carefully remove the stainless steel container w with the oil or fat from the

deep fat fryer. To do this, hold it by the side handles.

■ The frying basket 6 and the stainless steel container w can be cleaned in the dishw asher. They are suitable for dishwashers. ■ Clean the housing e with a moist cloth. If r equired, use a mild detergent on the cloth. ■ Clean the control and heating element 0 with a moist cloth. If necessar

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 0 thoroughly. ■ Clean the permanent metal fi lter 2 in w arm water containing a mild detergent. IB_102781_SEF2300A1_FI_BE_NL.indb 13IB_102781_SEF2300A1_FI_BE_NL.indb 13 25.08.14 09:3125.08.14 09:3114 SEF 2300 A1

■ 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.

1) Lift or carry the appliance using the side carrying handles on the housing e.

2) Push the power cable into the power cable retainer q on the control and

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”, “Car a”, 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 par t 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: – fi rst for 10 - 14 minutes at 150°C then for 3 - 4 minutes at 170°C, depending on the desir ed degree of browning. ■ Deep-frozen chips are pre-cooked and thus only need to be fried once. Comply with the instructions on the pack aging. IB_102781_SEF2300A1_FI_BE_NL.indb 14IB_102781_SEF2300A1_FI_BE_NL.indb 14 25.08.14 09:3125.08.14 09:3115 SEF 2300 A1

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 fi ll the frying basket 6 to more than the maximum fi ll 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 9 to the temper ature specifi ed 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 w ater as possible before adding the food into the deep fat fryer. ■ Always add foods as slowly and carefully as possible into the deep fat

yer, 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 infl uence 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°C and and place two thin slices of bread or a couple of small sprigs of par sley into the frying basket 6. ■ 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

■ 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 pr oteins, such as meat or fi sh. ■ 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 suffi cient, 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 0 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 0.

6) Place the operating/heating element 0 in a clean and dry location.

7) Carefully press the reset button on the control and heating element 0 with a
