In cases of scalding from hot oil there is danger to life! ~ Packing materials are not children's toys. Children should not be allowed to play with the plastic bags: There is a risk of suffocation! DANGER to and from pets and livestock ~ Electrical devices can represent a haz- ard to pets and livestock. In addition, animals can also cause damage to the device. For this reason you should keep animals away from electrical devices at all times. FIRE HAZARD ~ The fryer must never be used empty! Be- fore switching on the device, the oil con- tainer must always be filled at least up to the MIN marking and it must not ex- ceed the MAX marking. ~ Old or dirty frying fats and oils, as well as unsuitable fats and oils (such as mar- garine, butter or olive oil) can ignite when heated. Always use suitable oils and fats. Make sure to clean and store the device care- fully and to replace the frying fat/oil in time (see “The basics of frying” on page 8). ~ Never mix different fats/oils or old and new fat/oil. ~ If fat or oil catches fire, it must never be extinguished with water, because this would lead to a fat explosion. Quench the fire by putting the lid onto the deep fryer, or with a fire blanket or a woollen blanket. ~ Never leave the fryer unattended during operation. Thus, you will detect possible problems early on due to unusual smells or noises. ~ Do not use the fryer under wall units and not near to any curtains, paper or any similar inflammable objects. ~ The device must never be placed direct- ly under a wall socket, as the arising heat may lead to damage to the electric system. ~ Keep a distance of at least 50 cm to any other objects so that they cannot catch fire. ~ The fryer should only be operated on a stable, flat, non-slip, dry and non-inflam- mable work surface, in order to prevent it from tipping over or slipping away. DANGER! Risk of injury through burning! ~ Hot fat and oil results in serious burns because it is significantly hotter than boiling water. ~ If water drips into hot fat or oil, then this will lead to explosive deflagrations. ~ Avoid any contact with hot fat/ oil or splashes of fat or oil. ~ Under no circumstances move or trans- port the fryer when containing hot fat/ oil. ~ Never let water drip into the hot fat/oil. ~ The frying basket and the food to be fried must be dry when they are put into the hot fat/oil. In particular, in case of deep-frozen food any ice sticking there- to or melt water should be removed. ~ The fryer should only be operated with dry hands. ~ The frying basket, the handle, and the lid should not be immersed in water or any other liquids before use. ~ Make sure that all parts of the fryer are absolutely dry before they are used. Even small amounts of residual water7

may lead in combination with the heat- ed fat/oil to explosive deflagrations. ~ The lid should be kept closed during heating and frying. ~ During frying, hot steam escapes from the grease filter. Be careful not to put your hands into the steam. ~ Do not touch any hot parts of the device such as the inspection window. The fry- ing basket should only be touched at the handle. ~ After frying, the fryer should cool down for at least 1 to 2 hours before you emp- ty the oil container and clean the de- vice. DANGER of slipping ~ Avoid any splashes of oil/fat on the floor. There is a danger of slipping! DANGER! Risk of electric shock due to moisture ~ Protect the heating unit from moisture, dripping and water splashes. ~ Do not use the device in the open air or near vessels filled with water, e.g. sinks. ~ If the heating unit has fallen into water, remove the mains plug immediately, and only then remove the device from the water. Do not use the device again, and have it checked by a specialist workshop. ~ Never touch the heating unit with wet hands. DANGER! Risk of electric shock ~ Do not use the device if the device or the power cable has any visible dam- age, or if the device has previously been dropped. ~ Extension cables must be designed for a minimum of 10 ampere. ~ Lay the power cable and any extension cable such that nobody can step on them, get caught on them, or trip over them. ~ Before connecting the device, check that the temperature controller is set to the MIN marking. ~ Connect the mains plug only to a cor- rectly installed, easily accessible earthed wall socket with voltage corre- sponding to the rating plate. The wall socket must continue to be easily acces- sible after the device is plugged in. ~ Ensure that the power cable cannot be damaged by sharp edges or hot points. Do not wrap the power cable around the device. ~ Even after it has been switched off, the device has not been completely discon- nected from the mains. In order to fully disconnect it, pull out the mains plug. ~ When setting up the device, make sure that the power cable is not trapped or crushed. ~ To pull the mains plug out of the wall socket, always pull on the mains plug, and never on the power cable. ~ Disconnect the mains plug from the wall socket … … if there is a fault, … if the device or the power cable is damaged; … when you are not using the device; … before you clean the device and … during thunderstorms. ~ Do not connect another device with a high power consumption to a wall sock- et on the same circuit. This way you will avoid overloading the mains power sup- ply. ~ Do not connect the device by using a multiple socket.

5. The basics of frying

Preparation of the food

• All food must be as dry as possible when used for frying, because water will deflagrate explosively if it comes into contact with hot fat. Dry the food to be fried and remove any ice from fro- zen food.

• Deep-frozen food should be partially thawed before frying so that the food absorbs less fat. Remove as much water and ice as possible before you put the food into the fryer.

• Meat, fish, and vegetables should be cut into small pieces.

• In case of breaded food, please make sure that the breading sticks as tightly as possible to the food to be fried. Any breading falling off the food during fry- ing contaminates the fat. Frying time and frying temperature

• For a tasty and healthy result, the infor- mation on the packaging should be ob- served very carefully when selecting the temperature and the frying time.

• Only small quantities should be fried at a time.

• The frying basket may not be filled more than up to the MAX marking. If more food to be fried is put into the basket, the temperature of the fat will drop too much, the frying process will take longer, and more fat will be absorbed by the food to be fried.

• Acrylamide may be carcinogenic. In or- der to reduce the formation of acryla- mide as much as possible, both high temperatures (of more than 170 °C) and browning the food too much should be avoided. With temperatures of more than 175 °C significantly more acryla- mide will be formed.9

Which types of oil and fat are suitable? There is a wide range of different types of fat. But not all types of fat and oil are suita- ble for frying.

• For this fryer, we recommend to use liq- uid frying oil. If you would like to use solid frying fat, you should first melt it slowly in a pan at a low temperature and then pour it into the fryer. By doing so, you prevent the device from over- heating and the fat from splashing.

• The fat or oil must tolerate high tempera- tures during frying. Be careful that the fat/oil may be heated at least up to 200 °C.

• The fats should have only a very low water content. The water evaporates when heated, and the fat starts spatter- ing.

• Oils, which are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, are very healthy when used in salads, but they are not suitable for frying, because they do not have the thermal stability required.

• Butter, margarine, and olive oil are not suitable.

• Coconut oil or palm oil, for example, are very suitable.

• Different types of fat or oil should never be mixed! Storage of used oil

• Any contamination of the fat caused by frying reduces its shelf life. In order to remove any coarse dirt, pour the melted fat through a sieve covered with a pa- per towel after each frying process be- fore storing the fat.

• Light and oxygen are harmful to the fat. Therefore it should be stored in a tightly closed container in a dark, cool, and dry place.

• Under proper conditions, the fat can be stored for a few weeks. Frying table Getting rid of unwanted flavours from the oil/fat Some food, e.g. fish, loses liquid during fry- ing. The liquid gets into the oil/fat and alters its smell and flavour. This flavour will then be passed on to the next food which is going to be fried in this oil/fat. With a simple trick, you can reduce or even completely remove such unwanted flavours.

1. Heat the oil/fat up to a temperature of

2. Put 2 thin slices of bread or a bit of

parsley into the frying basket.

3. Put the frying basket into the fryer and

4. Wait until the oil/fat no longer forms

bubbles and then take the frying basket out of the fryer. The oil/fat should now have its own flavour again. Food Tempera- ture (approx.) Time (minutes) Vegetables 130 °C 5 - 8 Chicken legs 170 °C 15 - 25 Chicken wings 170 °C 7 - 15 Chicken breast fillet 170 °C 8 - 18 French-fried pota- toes (fresh) 170 °C 10 - 15 French-fried pota- toes (deep-frozen) according to the manu- facturer's specifications Pork cutlet, breaded 170 °C 15 - 25 Fish fillet (deep- frozen) 190 °C 7 - 1510

How to recognise bad fat

• If in the appearance of the fat you use you identify one of the following, you better replace it completely: - pungent, bad smell; - bad taste of the fried food; - brown, stiff deposits; - foam formation during heating; - heavy smoke formation already at low temperatures. What to do with the old fat? WARNING! Risk of material dam- age! ~ Frying oil and fat should not be dis- charged into drains or the toilet! The oil or fat solidifies so that the drains may be clogged.

• Fat and oil may be disposed of in the domestic waste in customary household quantities.

• Do not put the fat/oil directly into the wheelie bin, but put it beforehand into the original packaging or a plastic bag.

• You can also take the fat/oil to a desig- nated collection point for used fats.

• Check whether all accessories are pres- ent and undamaged.

Wash the heating elements|12, the housing|15, the oil container|14, the frying basket|18, and the handle|17 of the frying basket with warm water and a mild detergent, and then dry all parts very thoroughly.

• Wipe off the lid|1 and the control ele- ment|9 with a slightly damp cloth.

• Place the device on a dry, level, non-slip surface. This surface should also be heat-resistant and not be damaged by splashes of hot fat. NOTE: when in operation for the first time, some smoke and odour may be generated by the device. This is due to the assembly materials used for the heating element and is not a fault in the product. Ensure adequate ventilation.11
