Overview of the Components 1 Safety switch 2 POWER lamp (green) 3 TEMP lamp (red) 4 Thermostat 5 Control device (removable) 6 Frying basket 7 Frying grease container 8 Housing 9 Lid 10 Cable compartment 11 RESTART button Introduction This deep fryer is equipped with adjustable thermostats (4) so that the temperature can be adapted individually to the food being fried. The optimal and safe use of the deep fryer requires that the use instructions be read carefully. Electrical Connection Connected Wattage In total the double deep fryer can consume up to 4000 W. For this connected load we recommend two separate power lines protected by two 16 A circuit breakers. The fryer must be connected to a properly installed 230 V, 50 Hz socket with earthing protection. Each side of the deep fryer can also be operated individually as the device has two supply lines. CAUTION: OVERLOAD Do not use any extension leads or multiple sockets as this device is too powerful. 05-FR 1213 CB.indd 2505-FR 1213 CB.indd 25 06.09.2007 8:36:03 Uhr06.09.2007 8:36:03 UhrENGLISH ENGLISH

Putting into use Before using for the fi rst time

1. Remove the packaging. Remove the lid from the deep fryer.

The frying baskets (6) are in the fryer. Take all of the objects out of the fryer.

2. We recommend cleaning the lid, housing (8), containers (7)

and frying baskets (6) as described under „Cleaning“.

3. If necessary, push the control device(s) (5) into the guide

mechanisms so that it is/they are fi rmly in place. Then pull the connection cable(s) out of the cable compartment(s) (10). Useful hints for use

1. Always remove the food remaining in the oil (e.g. pieces of

French fries). Change the oil after using it 8-10 times. Use high quality frying oil or frying grease.

2. Fats and oils must be heatable to high temperatures. Do not

use margarine, olive oil or butter: they are not fi t for frying, because they start to smoke already at low temperatures. We recommend the use of liquid frying oil.

Please note this important information if you intend to use fat! If you use fat, please divide it up into small pieces. Turn the thermostat to a low temperature and add the pieces slowly. Once the fat has melted and the correct oil level is reached you can set the desired temperature on the thermostat. Under no circumstances should you place the fat in the frying baskets!

3. 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). Fur- thermore, the frying time should be kept as short as possible and the food only fried until it turns golden yellow.

4. Please note that the safety switch (1) is operated when the

control element is inserted into the guide mechanism.

5. Choose the right frying temperature and check the condi-

tions of the food to be fried. A rule of thumb is that pre-fried foods require a higher temperature than raw foods.

6. Do not carry or move the deep fryer if the oil or grease is still

7. When frying dough-like foods scrape off the excess dough

and put the pieces carefully into the oil.

8. Please ensure that the handle(s) on the frying basket(s)

has/have been properly tightened.

• Fold the handle(s) over so that it/they lock(s) into place when raised.

• The deep fat frying basket must not be more than 2/3 full. Do not overfi ll the frying basket (The maximum fi lling quantity for chips is 200g per litre of oil/fat).

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

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 overfl ow. Use

1. Make sure that the appliance is unplugged and switched off

(The control lamps (2+3) are off.).

2. Remove the lid from the deep fryer.

3. Remove the frying baskets and fi ll the containers with oil or

fat (not more than 2 x 3.3 l). The fi lling level must be located between the minimum and the maximum level. Place the lid back in position. Insert the plug(s) into a 230 V, 50 Hz socket with earthing contact. The green POWER control lamp(s) (2) light(s) up. Turn the temperature control(s) (4) to the desired temperature(s) (Min. – approx. 130°C, middle position – approx. 160°C, Max. – approx. 190°C).

4. The red TEMP control lamp(s) (3) light(s) up.

5. Once the set temperature has been reached the red control

lamp goes off. Place the frying baskets containing the food to be fried carefully into the hot fat.

6. The red 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. Allow some of the oil to drain off the fried food by suspen-

ding the frying basket(s) on the edge of the frying grease container(s).

8. In order to switch off the machine, please turn the tempera-

ture regulator to OFF and remove the plug from the socket. Wind up the mains lead(s) in the form of a spiral in the cable compartment(s). Cleaning

1. Ensure that the mains plug(s) has/have been removed.

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. Pull the control device upwards to remove it. In order to

change the oil, remove the frying grease container(s) and pour the oil out at the side.

4. Please do not immerse the device in water.

5. Clean the frying grease containers, lids and housing with a

damp cloth and washing-up liquid if necessary.

6. The frying baskets can be cleaned in the usual manner in

7. Avoid using abrasive materials or sharp objects. These may

damage the deep fryer!

8. Reassemble the deep fryer and push the control device(s)

back into the guide mechanism(s). Troubleshooting Device is not working Troubleshooting: Check the mains connection. Check the position of the thermostat. Other possible causes: The device is fi tted with a safety switch (1). This prevents the heater being switched on accidentally. 05-FR 1213 CB.indd 2605-FR 1213 CB.indd 26 06.09.2007 8:36:04 Uhr06.09.2007 8:36:04 UhrENGLISH ENGLISH

Troubleshooting: Check that the control element is correctly in place. Overheating Protection

• If you should accidentally switch on your deep fat fryer when there is no oil or fat in it the overheating protection is automatically turned on. The appliance is no longer ready to be used. Unplug the deep fryer.

• Only after the device has been left to cool down completely should the „RESTART“ button (11) on the rear of the control element be operated in order to use the deep fat fryer again. Please use a pointed object for this purpose. The RESTART button on the front of the control device has no function.
