• Connect the appliance to a mains socket with a mains voltage of 230V ,50Hz
• To prevent accidents, have defective plugs and/or power cables replaced immediately by a qualified specialist technician or our Customer Service department.

Never submerge the operating/heating element and the housing with the power cable in water, and do not clean these components under running water.

WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!

• This appliance must not be used by children under the age of 8. This appliance may be used by children aged 8 and above if they are under constant supervision. This appliance may be used by persons with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, provided that they are under supervision or have been told how to use the appliance safely and are aware of the potential risks.
  The appliance and its connecting cable must be kept away from children younger than 8 years old.
• Cleaning and maintenance may not be carried out by children.
• Provide a stable location for the appliance.
• Do not operate the appliance if it has fallen down or is damaged in any way. Have the appliance checked and/or repaired by qualified technicians if necessary.

WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!

• Hot steam is generated during the deep-frying process, especially when the lid is open. Keep a safe distance away from the steam.
• Ensure that all parts are completely dry before pouring oil or liquid fat into the deep fat fryer. Otherwise, hot oil or fat could splatter out.
• Carefully pat all foodstuffs dry before placing them in the deep fat fryer. Otherwise, hot oil or fat could splatter out.
• Be especially careful with frozen foodstuffs. Remove any ice that may have formed on them. The more ice there is on the foodstuff, the more the hot oil or fat will splatter.
• Some parts of the appliance become very hot during operation. Touching these may cause serious burns.
  The appliance should be set up in a stable position using the handles to avoid spillage of hot liquids.

WARNING! RISK OF FIRE!

• Do not use an external timing switch or a separate remote control system to operate the appliance.
• Never melt solid fat (fat in blocks) in the deep fat fryer. Due to the high temperatures that are generated before the fat covers the heating element, the heating element can be damaged or there could be a fire! Melt the fat beforehand in a saucepan or similar.

WARNING! RISK OF FIRE!

• Do not use the appliance near hot surfaces.
• Never leave the appliance unattended while it is being used.

Caution! Hot surface!

Never use water to extinguish a fire in the deep fat fryer!

• Old or dirty fats and oils can spontaneously ignite if overheated. Change the oils or fats regularly. In the case of a fire, remove the plug from the mains power socket and smother the burning fat or oil with a blanket.

CAUTION - APPLIANCE DAMAGE!

• When filling the frying container with fat, never fill it to above the MAX marking or to below the MIN marking. Whenever you intend to switch the appliance on, first ensure that there is sufficient oil or fat in the deep fat fryer.
• Never switch the appliance on if there is no oil or liquid fat in it. Otherwise the appliance may overheat.
  This deep fat fryer is suitable only for frying foodstuffs. It is not designed for cooking liquids.

Before initial use

1) Before you use the deep fat fryer for the first time, please clean all individual components thoroughly and carefully dry them (see chapter "Cleaning").

Low-acrylamide cooking

Acrylamide is a possibly carcinogenic substance formed from a reaction with amino acids when frying foodstuffs with a high starch content. The formation of acrylamide increases dramatically at temperatures of more than 175^ .

You should therefore avoid frying foodstuffs with a high starch content, for example chips, at temperatures above 170^ . The foodstuffs should only be fried to golden-yellow, instead of dark or brown. This is the only way to achieve low-acrylamide cooking.

Deep frying

We recommend cooking oil or liquid cooking fat for use in this deep fat fryer. You can also use solid cooking fats. Read the chapter "Solid cooking fats" for more information.

Preparation

1) Place the appliance on a horizontal, level, stable and heat-resistant surface.

NOTE

If you wish to place the deep fat fryer below the cooker extraction hood, ensure that the cooker is switched off.

2) Unwind the entire length of the power cable from the cable spool 6.

3) Press the lid release button. The appliance lid flips open.

4) Remove the frying baskets 3 / 12 and attach the handles ① either to the two small frying baskets ② or the large frying basket ③

• Press the rods of the handle ① together so that the holding pins can be inserted into the eyelets on the frying basket ③/⑫:

• Loosen your grip on the compressed rods on the handle ① so that the holding pins project into the holes:

• The handle 11 now sits securely on the frying basket 3/12.

• Proceed in the same way with the second handle.

TIPS

• Only use oils or fats which are specifically labelled as non-foaming and are suitable for deep frying. This information is to be found on the packaging or the label.
• Never mix different types of oil or fat! The deep fat fryer could froth over.

5) Fill the dry and empty frying container with cooking oil, liquid or molten fat (about 4 litres of oil or about 3.5kg of solid fat).

NOTE

• When filling the frying container ④ with oil or fat, never fill it to above the MAX marking or to below the MIN marking.
  6) Insert the mains plug into the mains power socket.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

The power cable must not come into contact with the hot parts of the deep fat fryer. Risk of electric shock!

7) Replace the frying basket 3 (or the small frying baskets 12).
8) Now close the lid.

Frying foods

CAUTION - PROPERTY DAMAGE!

Never operate the deep fat fryer without oil/fat!

NOTE

• You can either suspend the large basket 3, both small frying baskets 12 or just one of the small frying baskets 12 in the appliance to fry food. In the example described here, only the large frying basket 3 is used. Proceed in exactly the same way when using the small frying baskets 12.

1) Switch on the deep fat fryer using the On/Off switch ⑧. The Power control lamp ⑩ lights up.
2) Turn the temperature control ⑦ to the desired temperature. The cooking oil or the fat is now heated up to the required temperature. When the required temperature has been reached, the Ready control lamp ⑨ lights up.

NOTE

The correct frying temperature is to be found either on the packaging of the food to be deep-fried or in the frying times table in these operating instructions. A rough guide as to which foods should be fried at which temperature is provided by the figures on the front of the deep fat fryer:

SymbolFoodTemperature

Prawns 130 °C

Chicken 150 °C

Chips (fresh) 170 °C

Fish 190 °C

The values given are only for guidance. The temperature can vary depending on the properties of the foods and personal taste!

WARNING - RISK OF INJURY!

The lid and the deep fat fryer become extremely hot during the deep-frying process. Therefore, do not touch anything except the handles during deep-frying! Risk of burns! We recommend the use of oven gloves.

3) Press the lid release button 5.

WARNING - RISK OF INJURY!

Take care when filling the frying basket 3! It will be extremely hot!

4) Lift the frying basket ③ out of the deep fat fryer. Add the food to be fried. The frying basket ③ can be filled up to the MAX. fill level marked on the inside of the frying basket ③ or with up to 1 kg of food for frying. However, always take note of the frying quantity indicated on the packaging of the food to be deep-fried!
5) Carefully lower the frying basket 3 into the hot oil or fat.
6 Close the lid of the appliance.

NOTE

The frying process can be monitored through the viewing window 1 in the lid of the appliance.

Solid cooking fats

To prevent fat from spraying and the appliance from becoming too hot, please take the following precautions when using solid frying fat:

When using fresh fat, start by melting the blocks of fat slowly, under low heat, in a separate pan. Then carefully pour the molten fat into the deep fat fryer. Only when this has been done, insert the plug into a mains power socket and switch the deep fat fryer on.
After use, store the deep fat fryer with the solidified fat at room temperature. If the fat gets too cold, it could splatter out upon re-melting! To avoid this, pierce a few holes into the solidified fat with a wooden or plastic skewer. Ensure that you do not damage the coating of the frying container.
To melt the fat, switch on the appliance using the On/Off switch 8 and set the temperature control 7 to 130^ . The Power control lamp 10 lights up.
Wait until all of the fat has melted. The Ready control lamp 9 may come on and go out several times during this process. Do not set the desired frying temperature until all of the fat has melted.

GB IE

After deep-frying

WARNING - RISK OF INJURY!

• Never touch the frying basket ③ directly after frying. It will be extremely hot! Lift the frying basket ③ out of the deep fat fryer only by the handles ①!

1) When the fried food is ready, press the lid release button ⑤ so that the lid pops open.
2) Lift the frying basket ③ and hook it onto the rim of the appliance so that excess fat can drip off.
3) Press the On/Off switch ③. The deep fat fryer is now switched off. Remove the plug from the mains power socket.
4) Once the fried food has dripped dry, carefully lift the frying basket ③ out of the deep fat fryer.
5) Tip the fried food into a bowl or a sieve (lined with absorbent kitchen paper!). If you do not use the deep fat fryer regularly, it is advisable to store the cooled oil in well-sealed bottles or other frying containers - preferably in the refrigerator or a similar cool storage location. Fill the bottles through a fine sieve in order to remove any food particles from the oil.

Changing the cooking oil or fat

Do not change the oil until it has completely cooled down. Solid fats must still be in a slightly liquid state so that they can be poured.

1) Press the lid release button ⑤ and remove the lid (see chapter "Cleaning and care").
2) Remove the frying basket 3.
3) Hold the appliance by the side handles and pour out the oil or fat via one of the corners into suitable containers, e.g. bottles. Preferably use a small funnel to do this.

NOTE

The disposal of cooking oils and fats is regulated differently in every community or town. Disposal of such oils or fats in the normal household refuse is often prohibited. Make enquiries at your local community or town administration office about suitable disposal methods.

4) Thoroughly clean all parts of the deep fat fryer as described in the chapter "Cleaning and care".
5) Refill the deep fat fryer with fresh oil or fat as described in the chapter "Deep frying".

Cleaning and care

WARNING - RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

Always remove the plug from the mains power socket before cleaning the appliance.

Under no circumstances may the appliance or parts of it be submersed in liquids! This could result in a potentially fatal electric shock, and the appliance could be damaged.

WARNING - RISK OF BURNS!

Allow the appliance to cool down completely before cleaning it.

CAUTION - PROPERTY DAMAGE!

• When cleaning the components, do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents or materials such as scouring milk or steel wool. These could damage the upper surface of the appliance!

To simplify cleaning, dismantle the deep fat fryer:

1) Open the appliance lid as far as possible, push it backwards a little and then pull it upwards and off its hinge supports.
2) Remove the frying basket (or the small frying baskets 12).

The frying baskets 3 / 12 can be cleaned in the dishwasher. They are suitable for dishwashers. However, remove the handles ① beforehand.
Clean the handles in warm water using a mild detergent. Then rinse off with clear water.
Clean the housing and the frying container 4 with a damp cloth. If required, use a mild detergent on the cloth. Afterwards, wipe clean with a cloth moistened only with water to ensure that no detergent remains in the frying container 4. Dry the housing and the frying container 4 thoroughly.

GB IE

Clean the appliance lid in warm water using a mild detergent. Rinse the appliance lid off with clear water.

Dry the appliance lid well and then place it upright on its side so that any excess water still inside the lid can drain away.

Be aware that the lid must be completely dry before re-use!

3) Dry all parts well before reassembly.

Storage

1) Lift or carry the appliance using the side handles on the housing.
2) Wind the cable around the cable spool ⑥ on the rear of the appliance and fasten it with the cable clip.
3) Store the appliance with the appliance lid closed. This will keep the inside of the deep fat fryer clean and free of dust.

Tips

Home-made chips

Potatoes intended for frying should be in good condition and not germinating.
Use potato varieties that are suitable for frying, such as those that are "floury" or "primarily waxy".
■ After peeling, cut the potatoes according to the intended preparation (chips or wedges).
Soak the potatoes for about one hour prior to use. This will help remove part of the sugar content, which is one of the constituent products for the formation of acrylamide.
Carefully dry the potatoes.
Always fry home-made potatoes twice:

• first for 10-14 minutes at 150^ then for 3-4 minutes at 170^ , depending on the desired degree of browning.

Deep-frozen chips are pre-cooked and thus only need to be fried once. Comply with the instructions on the packaging.

Deep-frozen foods

Deep-frozen foodstuffs (-16^ to -18^) cool the oil or fat to a considerable extent, because of this they do not cook fast enough and may also soak up too much oil or fat. To avoid this, proceed as follows:

Do not attempt to deep-fry large amounts all at once. Do not fill the frying basket (or the small frying baskets) to more than the Max. fill level marked on the inside of the frying basket.
Heat the oil for at least 15 minutes before adding the frozen foods.

Adjust the temperature control ⑦ to the temperature specified in these operating instructions or on the packaging of the food to be deep-fried.

Preferably, allow the deep-frozen food to thaw at room temperature prior to deep-frying. Remove as much ice and water as possible before adding the food into the deep fat fryer.
Always add foods as slowly and carefully as possible into the deep fat fryer, as deep-frozen foods can cause the oil or fat to bubble violently and abruptly.

How to prevent unwanted after-taste

Some foodstuffs, especially fish, release fluids when being deep-fried. These fluids collect in the oil or fat and can impair the smell and taste of foods that are later deep-fried in the same oil or fat.

Proceed as follows to obtain neutral-tasting oil or fat:

Heat the fat or oil to 150^ and place two thin slices of bread or a couple of small sprigs of parsley in the frying basket (or the small frying baskets 12).
Lower the frying basket 3 (or the small frying baskets 12) into the fat and close the lid.
Wait until the oil or fat is no longer bubbling and remove the bread or parsley with a skimmer. The oil or fat now has a neutral taste once again.

Healthy nutrition

Nutrition experts recommend the use of vegetable oils and fats containing unsaturated fatty acids (e.g. linoleic acid). However, these oils and fats lose their beneficial properties faster than other oils and must therefore be exchanged more frequently.

Orient yourself on the following guidelines:

Exchange the oil or fat regularly. If you use the deep fat fryer mainly to prepare chips, and strain the oil or fat after every use, it can be used 10 to 12 times.

However, do not use the oil or fat for longer than six months. Always follow the instructions provided on the packaging.

As a general rule, oils and fats cannot be used so often if you mainly deep-fry protein-rich foods, such as meat or fish.

■ Do not mix fresh oil with used oil.

Change the oil or fat if it foams on being heated, if it develops a strong taste or odour, if it becomes dark and/or if it develops a syrupy consistency.

Table - frying times

This table provides details of the temperatures at which specific foods must be deep-fried and the deep-frying time required. Should these details differ from those shown on the packaging of the food to be deep-fried, please observe the instructions provided on the packaging.

Food	Temperature (approx.)	Time in minutes
Beefburger (frozen) 150 °C 3-5 minutes
Pork chops (breaded) 150 °C 15-25 minutes
Chicken pieces (large pieces)	150 °C 10-18 minutes
