Frequently Asked Questions - FR 2201 CB BOMANN

What is the maximum oil capacity of this deep fryer?

The maximum capacity is 3 liters. The level must be between the Min and Max marks.

Can the lid be used during cooking?

No, it is forbidden to close the lid during operation because the oil may overheat and catch fire. The lid is only for storage after cooling.

How to change the oil?

Wait until the deep fryer has cooled completely (1 to 2 hours). Unplug the appliance, remove the frying pot and pour out the used oil sideways. Clean the pot with a damp cloth.

What to do if the appliance does not turn on?

First check the power outlet and the thermostat setting. If that does not work, check that the safety switch is pressed in (control element correctly positioned). If the overheat protection has tripped, wait for complete cooling and press the RESTART button on the back.

What types of fat to use?

Use heat-resistant liquid frying oil. Avoid margarine, olive oil, or butter as they smoke at low temperatures. For solid fat, melt it slowly before pouring.

Can frozen foods be fried directly?

It is not recommended to fry frozen foods covered with ice. Excess moisture causes excessive foaming which can cause the oil to overflow and cause burns. Dry the food beforehand.

How to clean the deep fryer?

Unplug and let cool. Clean the pot, walls, and lid with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. The frying basket can be washed in soapy water. Never immerse the appliance in water.

What does the green indicator that turns on and off mean?

It is normal: the green indicator shows that the set temperature has been reached. It turns off and on during cooking, indicating the thermostat maintains a constant temperature.

What temperature to choose to reduce acrylamide?

To limit acrylamide formation in starchy foods (potatoes, cereals), do not exceed 170 °C (175 °C maximum). Brown the food without over-browning.

How to restart after overheating?

If the overheat protection has activated (appliance operated without oil), unplug the appliance, wait for it to cool completely, then press the RESTART button (5) on the back with a wooden or synthetic object at least 4 cm long.

Special Safety Instructions for this Device

WARNING:

• Do not close the lid of the deep fat fryer during operation, as the oil might overflow and cause a fire. The lid should only be used for protection during storage after the oil has cooled down.
• Never add water to the oil!
• Oils and fats may burn when overheated. Please be careful! Do not forget to switch the device off after use! First turn the thermostat to the lowest position and then remove the mains plug.

CAUTION:

OVERHEATING OF THE HEATING ELEMENT

Please note this important information if you would like to use fat in the deep fat fryer!

The fat has to be melted slowly so that it can enclose the heating element.

When fat is placed in the deep fat fryer for the first time or melted again, there is a danger of overheating if the selected temperature is too high!

Placing fat in the deep fat fryer for the first time

• Liquefy the fat beforehand in a separate vessel.

WARNING:

Do not heat the fat above 50^ C in order to prevent injury when transferring it from the vessel to the deep fat fryer.

• Transfer the liquefied fat to the frying fat container.
• Once the required oil level has been reached you can set the desired temperature on the thermostat.

Reheating hardened fat in the deep fat fryer

If the fat in the deep fat fryer has become hard, it is difficult to know how much it has already melted down at the heating element.

- Turn the thermostat slowly up until the control lamp shows that the heating is working.

STOP! Do not turn any further! The heating will now vly heat up the fat.

- Please do not operate the device with an external timer or a separate remote control system.

• A short time later the heating switches off again.
• Turn the heating on again by readjusting the thermostat.
• Repeat the process until the fat has melted.

Intended Use

This device is used for deep-frying food.

It is intended exclusively for this purpose and may only be used as such. It may only be used in the manner described in these instructions for use. The device must not be used for commercial purposes.

Any other use of this device is considered to be contrary to the intended use and may result in damage to materials or even personal injury.

The firm C. Bomann GmbH does not accept any liability for damage caused as a result of the use of this device contrary to its intended use.

Putting into use

Before using for the first time

1. Remove the packaging. Then take the lid off the deep fat fryer. In the deep fat fryer you will find a frying basket. Take all objects out of the fryer.
2. It is highly recommended to clean the lid, casing, container and frying basket as described in Cleaning.
3. Please pull the connecting cable out of the cable compartment.

Useful hints for use

1. Always remove the food remaining in the oil (e.g. pieces of French fries). After the device has been used several times you should change the oil.

Use high quality frying oil or frying grease.

1. Fats and oils must be heatable to high temperatures. Do not use margarine, olive oil or butter: they are not fit for frying, because they start to smoke already at low temperatures.

We recommend the use of liquid frying oil.

WARNING: DANGER!

• It is essential to change the fat / oil regularly.
• Do not use any frozen food containing ice!

• If food containing too much moisture (e.g. chips containing a lot of ice etc.) is used, there is a strong tendency to form foam, which in the worst case may cause the hot fat / oil to overflow and result in injuries.

• In order to reduce the acrylamide content of food containing starch (potatoes, cereals) the temperature during deep-fat frying should not exceed 170^ C (or possibly 175^ C). Furthermore, the frying time should be kept as short as possible and the food only fried until it turns golden yellow.

• Please note that the safety switch (4) is operated when the control element is inserted into the guide mechanism.
• Choose the right frying temperature and check the conditions of the food to be fried. A rule of thumb is that pre-fried foods require a higher temperature than raw foods.
• Do not carry or move the deep fryer if the oil or grease is still hot.
• When frying dough-like foods scrape off the excess dough and put the pieces carefully into the oil.
• Please ensure that the handle of the deep fat frying basket has been correctly attached.

- Press the ends of the wire together at the free end of the handle.

- Insert the brackets into wire hoops inside the basket.

- The deep fat frying basket must not be more than 2/3 full. Do not overfill the frying basket.

1. Rub dry humid foods with a cloth before frying.

CAUTION:

In the case of foodstuffs which are too moist (e.g. frozen chips etc.) large amounts of foam may form, which under certain circumstances may cause the oil to overflow.

Use

1. Make sure that the appliance is unplugged and switched off (The control lamps are off.).
2. Take the lid off the deep fryer.
3. Remove the frying basket and fill the container with oil or grease (maximum 3 l). The filling level must be located between the minimum and the maximum level.
4. Insert the plug into a 230 V, 50 Hz power socket. The red control lamp lights up. Set the desired temperature by turning the temperature control (3).
5. The green control lamp lights up. Once the set temperature has been reached the green control lamp goes off. Place the frying basket containing the items to be fried carefully into the hot fat.
6. The green control lamp switches on and off several times during frying. This is normal and it indicates that the temperature is controlled by the thermostat and is being maintained. Once the frying time is over (the frying times are to be found on the packaging of the food or in the recipe), please take out the frying basket.
7. Let the oil drip from the food being fried.
8. In order to switch off the machine, please turn the temperature regulator to MIN and remove the plug from the socket. Wind the mains lead up in the form of a spiral in the cable compartment.

Cleaning

1. Make sure that the plug is pulled out.
2. Wait until the deep fryer is completely cool before cleaning. Wait in any case for 1 to 2 hours after use before using again to avoid burns.
3. In order to change the oil, pull out the deep frying fat container and pour the oil out at the side.
4. Please do not immerse the device in water.
5. Clean the deep frying fat container, the lid and the housing with a damp cloth and household detergent if necessary. Please do not immerse in water.
6. The deep frying basket can be cleaned in the usual way in soapy water.
7. Avoid using abrasive materials or sharp objects. These may damage the deep fryer!

Troubleshooting
