• Do not move the device when the fat is liquid/hot.

• Keep the lid (1) tightly closed during use.

• Please fi ll the basket outside the deep-fat dryer in order to prevent splashes.

• Please always use the frying basket for deep-frying.

• Warning: Never mix fats and oils, as the deep fat fryer could spill over. Even the mixing of various types of oil and fat with one another is dangerous!

The optimal and safe use of the deep fryer requires that the use instructions be read carefully. Connection The fryer must be connected to a properly installed 230 V, 50 Hz socket with earthing protection. Putting into use Before using for the fi rst time

1. Remove the packaging. Open the deep fryer by pressing the

OPEN button (3). The frying basket is in the deep fryer.

2. It is highly recommended to clean the lid, casing, container

and frying basket as described in CLEANING.

3. Connect the mains cable supplied to a correctly installed

230 V/50 Hz power socket and the mains connection point on the rear of the device. 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.

2. Deep frying fat must be capable of being heated to high

temperatures. Use high quality frying oil or frying grease. Do not use margarine, olive oil or butter: they are not fi t for frying, because they start to smoke already at low tempera- tures. We recommend the use of liquid frying oil. Warning! 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. 05-FR 3126 25 09.01.2007, 12:29:44 UhrENGLISH ENGLISH

Once the fat has melted and the correct oil level is reached you can set the desired temperature on the thermostat.

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. Choose the right frying temperature and check the conditi-

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

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

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

and put the pieces carefully into the oil.

7. The deep frying basket must not be more than two-thirds

full. Do not overfi ll the basket.

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

9. After use, unplug the deep fryer.

10. If you should switch on your deep fat fryer by accident when

there is no oil or fat in it, the overheating protection device will switch on automatically. The device is then no longer operable. Remove the plug from the socket. Use

the device and pull the handle (9) upwards until it locks into place. Then fi ll oil or fat into the frying fat container. Only fi ll between the MIN. and MAX. mark. Please note the following important information! If you use fat, divide it up into small pieces and place it on the fl oor of the deep frying vessel. Under no circumstances should you place the fat in the deep frying basket!

4. Insert the plug into a correctly installed 230 V, 50 Hz socket

with earthing contact and switch the deep fryer on by the I/O switch (5). Then close the lid during the heating-up phase.

8. Now close the lid. Release the handle (by pushing the

button (10) on the handle). The deep-fry basket is now in the hot fat.

9. During the deep-frying process the HEATING control lamp

switches on and off several times. This is normal and shows that the temperature is being thermostatically controlled and maintained. After the frying time has elapsed (frying times are to be found on the food packaging or in the recipe), open the lid carefully (as it is possible that hot steam will be released). Now remove the deep-frying basket.
