Frequently Asked Questions - TKG FT 1005 TEAM

What oil to use in the TKG FT 1005 fryer?

Preferably use a special frying oil or blocks of fat cut into small pieces. Check the label on the bottle. Do not exceed the maximum level indicated in the tank.

How to clean the fryer?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool. Wash the tanks, baskets and lids with warm soapy water using a soft cloth. Never immerse the control panel in water. Dry all parts thoroughly.

What to do if the fryer stops during use?

This may be due to overheating. Set the thermostat to 'Min', unplug the appliance and wait about 15 minutes. Press the RESET button located inside the cable storage compartment at the back. Each tank has its own button.

Should I preheat the fryer?

Yes, a preheating of 10 to 15 minutes is recommended to get golden and crispy fries. The temperature indicator light turns on and then off once the temperature is reached.

Can I use the fryer with the lid closed?

No, never put the lid on during use, as this could cause a fire or damage the appliance. The lid is only for storage and transport after cooling.

How much food can I put in the basket?

Do not overfill the basket. For fries, do not exceed 500 g per tank. Make sure the food is dry to avoid oil splashes.

How to change the oil in the fryer?

Wait for the oil to cool completely. Remove the removable tank and pour out the used oil. Clean the tank before adding new oil. Replace the oil regularly for better cooking quality.

Can I plug both tanks into the same outlet?

It is strongly discouraged to plug both fryers into the same outlet because the total consumption is about 19.5 A. Use two different circuits to avoid overload.

What temperature to cook fries?

For fries, do a first cooking at 170°C for 8 minutes (core cooking) then a second cooking at 180°C for 3 minutes to make them crispy. Let drain on absorbent paper.

How to store the fryer after use?

Let it cool completely. The oil can remain in the appliance. Close the lids tightly to prevent dust. Store the cord in the compartment provided at the back.

• Remove the control panels from the appliance. To do this, gently pull the control panel upwards until it is released.
  • Take the interior bowl with your two hands and pull it up gently.
  • Proceed in the same way for the second bowl.

DISASSEMBLING THE DEEP FAT FRYER

ASSEMBLING THE DEEP FAT FRYER

• Stand the appliance on a dry horizontal surface.
• Place each bowl back in the housing and push it downwards.
• Replace the control panel and the accessories on both bowls. To replace the control panels, firmly slide them downward into the location grooves on the back of the housing until they are locked.
  NOTE: The appliance will only operate when the control panel you want to use is correctly fitted to the outer jacket.
  • Unfold the handle of the basket until it is locked to allow rising the basket easily.
• Put the remaining power cord length in the cord storage in the back of the appliance.

FIRST USE

• When using the appliance for the first time, pour the required amount of oil in the bowl, making sure that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks indicated inside the bowl.
  We recommend that you use a liquid oil that is suitable for deep fat frying. Check the label on the bottle. If you wish to use a solid fat, cut the fat in small pieces. Plug in the appliance, put the tsermostat on tse minimum position and add the pieces of fat slowly. When the fat has melted, set the thermostat to the desired temperature.

NOTE: tśe ŻowŚs operate inżepenżentŚy. Ią you want to use Żoś ŻowŚs simuŚtaneousŚy, you save to put Żoś pSuAs in a power soęŻet.

PREHEATING

When the appliance has been switched on, set the thermostat on the desired temperature. To reach a stable and correct temperature for use, it is necessary to wait 10 to 15 minutes. During this time, the temperature control light will go on and off several times. A good preheating will allow you to have browned and crispy fries.

USE

• Plug in the appliance and set the thermostat to the desired temperature. The power light and the pilot light will illuminate. As soon as the desired temperature is reached, the pilot light will go out. When the temperature falls, the thermostat will be activated again, and the pilot light will illuminate. It will go out again as soon as the temperature is reached.
• It is forbidden to place the lid on the deep fat fryer when it is in use. Only put the lid on the appliance when the appliance has cooled down to avoid dust getting into the oil.
• When the fryer has reached the desired temperature, raise the basket using the handle and attach it to the edge of the fryer.
• Place the food into the basket slowly to avoid splashes and lower the basket fully into the oil or fat.
• When the food is ready, raise the basket by lifting the handle and attach it to the edge of the fryer in order to let the food drain.
  • If necessary you can take the basket out of the appliance.
  • Ensure the food is thoroughly cooked inside and out.
• Your deep fat fryer does not have a separate ON/OFF switch. After use, turn the thermostat to its "Min" position and unplug the appliance. Never move the appliance as long as the oil or fat is still hot.

FOR BEST RESULTS

• Always dry food well before frying. Very 'wet' food can cause the oil to 'foam' and may overflow.
- Foodstuffs for frying should be roughly of the same size to ensure the food cooks evenly and thoroughly.
- Many types of food may need to be coated before frying - typical coatings are better or breadcrumbs.
• Always wait until the fryer has reached the desired temperature and the pilot light has gone out, before adding the food.
- Do not overfill the basket.

CAUTION: This fryer has a built-in safety cut-off switch that triggers if the unit accidentally overheats (e.g. temperature control fails to function). Should this happen, firstly turn the thermostat to "Min" and unplug the deep fat fryer. Wait until the element cools down (about 15 minutes). Then press the RESET button situated in the back of the appliance, in the cord storage. Each bowl has its own RESET button. This will reset the deep fat fryer. Your deep fat fryer is now ready to use. To make sure this does not happen again, please read the instruction manual thoroughly.
