• Only use liquid frying oil (preferably) or fat.

• The recommended temperature for frying chips and snacks is 175°C max.

• Heat the oil slowly. Preferably in 3 steps for ex- ample first at 100°C, then from 100-140°C and later from 140°C to 175°C with 15 minute breaks between steps.

• Remove ice and crumbs from frozen foods.

• Do not deep-fry too much at one time. This can cause the oil or fat to cool down too much. Cooled down oil/fat does not properly sear the surface of the food, so that more fat will be absorbed. The ideal proportion of frozen products to frying oil/ fat is 1:10 maximum.

• When used intensively, crumbs and other debris should be filtered out of the oil/fat.

• Replace oil or fat in time. Use test strips or test equipment regularly to track when oil/fat should be replaced.

• If oil or fat starts to foam, smoke or gets too vis- cous you should replace it. Also replace the oil/fat when it has a strong smell or taste. After use

• Turn off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF icon and removing the plug from the socket.

• Remove the basket from the oil container. This avoids the basket becoming stuck in the solidi- fied fat.

• Put the lid on the deep fryer, so that the fat does not age.9
