Frequently Asked Questions - FR1000 UFESA

How to clean the UFESA FR1000 deep fryer?

After complete cooling, wash the tank, basket and lid with warm soapy water. Never immerse the electrical body. The permanent anti-grease filter should be cleaned regularly by soaking the lid in soapy water for 10 minutes, then rinse and dry. Do not put the parts in the dishwasher.

How much oil to use?

The oil level must be between the min and max marks on the tank, i.e. a maximum of 0.5 liter. Do not exceed to avoid overflow.

Can I use solid fat?

Yes, but melt it first in a separate container to avoid splashes. If the fat is already solidified in the deep fryer, make holes with a sharp utensil and heat at low temperature until it becomes liquid, then increase the temperature.

How to set the temperature for fondue?

For traditional fondue (cheese, chocolate, broth), set the thermostat between 60°C and 140°C. For Bourguignonne fondue (meat, fish), set between 140°C and the maximum temperature (190°C). Use the temperature adjustment knob.

When to replace the oil?

Replace the oil when it becomes dark, gives off an unpleasant odor or alters the taste of food. It is recommended to filter the oil regularly to remove impurities. Never mix new oil with used oil.

How to use the basket?

Attach the removable handle to the basket until it snaps into place. Place the food in the basket, then gently lower it into the hot oil to avoid splashes. To drain, rest the basket on the edges of the tank or use the hook provided.

Can the deep fryer be used without the lid?

Yes, you can fry without the lid. If you wish to use the lid, remove the basket handle before closing, then reattach it after cooking.

Can I fry frozen foods?

Yes, without thawing. It is recommended to fry in two stages: plunge the food for 5 minutes at maximum temperature, remove them, wait for the oil to return to maximum temperature, then plunge them again until fully cooked.

How to store the appliance?

Wait for the oil to cool completely. Fold the basket handle and insert the basket into the tank. Wrap the cord in its compartment under the appliance. Close the lid. Use the side handles to carry the deep fryer.

What to do if the oil overflows?

Do not overfill the basket. If an overflow occurs, immediately unplug the appliance, let it cool, then clean thoroughly. Check the oil level before each use to respect the max mark.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Ufesa recommends the use of oil instead of fat when using this appliance in Fryer Mode.. If solid fat/lard is being used then you should follow the instructions below to prevent it from splashing as it melts.

1. Before the first fry, melt the pieces of fat in a separate saucepan on a low heat.
2. Pour the liquid fat into the fryer's pan. Avoid splashing it.
3. Check that the liquid fat covers the minimum level mark. Switch the fryer on and start cooking.

When solid fat which has been used for frying has solidified in the fryer, proceed in the following fashion:

1. Make some holes in the solidified fat using a sharp object.

2. Close the lid on the fryer and select a low temperature so that the fat softens up slowly.

3. As soon as the fat has liquefied the temperature can be brought up higher.

Note: Your fryer contains solidified fat, store it at room temperature.

REPLACING THE OIL

The useful life for oil or fat depends on the number of uses and type of frying. It is advisable to periodically filter the oil in order to remove any impurities.

Always store the fryer with the lid fitted; to stop dust or other elements from spoiling the oil or fat.

Replace the oil when it becomes dark, produces a bad smell or gives the food a bad taste.

Never add fresh oil or fat to that being used. Pour the oil away via the pouring lip.

Used oil or fat must never be poured down the toilet or sink.

Dispose of it in a sealed container and take it along to the appropriate refuse collection point.

USEFUL TIPS

• Foodstuffs should be completely dry before immersing them into oil or fat.
• To stop chips from sticking together wash them before frying.
• It is advisable to fry foodstuffs that contain a lot of water, such as chips, in two stages:

Heat the oil up to maximum temperature and put the food in for five minutes.

Drain it off and wait until the oil has reached maximum temperature again and then return the food so that it can finish browning off.

- It is not necessary to defrost food beforehand, although it is advisable to fry frozen food in two stages.
