Frequently Asked Questions - CEFR4IX2 CONTINENTAL EDISON

How to use the Continental Edison CEFR4IX2 deep fryer for the first time?

Before first use, wash the tank, basket and lid thoroughly in warm soapy water, then dry them. Fill the tank with oil or fat between the min and max levels (3 L max). Plug in the appliance and turn the thermostat to the desired temperature. The heating indicator lights up. Once the oil is hot, place the food in the basket and lower it into the oil, then close the lid. Never add water to the oil.

How much oil should I put in the tank?

The maximum oil capacity is 3 litres. Fill the tank until the level is between the minimum and maximum marks indicated inside the tank. Overfilling may cause overflow during cooking.

Can I use olive oil or butter?

No, the use of olive oil, butter or margarine is not recommended because they smoke at low temperatures. Use exclusively liquid frying oil or frying fat suitable for high temperatures.

What to do if the deep fryer does not heat up?

First check the electrical connection and the thermostat setting. If the appliance still does not heat, it may be that the overheat protection has activated (if the tank was empty). Unplug the appliance, let it cool completely, then press the reset button located at the back of the control element using a plastic or wooden object at least 4 cm long.

How to clean the deep fryer after use?

Unplug the appliance and let the oil cool completely. Remove the oil (filter if reusable). Clean the tank with absorbent paper then a damp cloth with a little dish soap. Never immerse the tank or heating element in water. The basket can be washed in warm soapy water. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly before storing.

Why did the deep fryer turn off during use?

This is likely due to the activation of the overheat protection if the appliance operated without oil or if the oil reached too high a temperature. Let the appliance cool, then reset it by pressing the reset button at the back. If the problem persists, contact an approved technician.

Can I fry frozen foods?

Yes, but be careful: frozen foods (like frozen fries) contain a lot of moisture, which can cause excessive foam formation and oil overflow. Dry the food with a towel before frying and do not fill the basket more than two-thirds full.

How to change the oil?

Let the oil cool completely. Remove the basket and filter the used oil through a fine sieve to remove residues. You can store the oil in the refrigerator for later reuse. Clean the tank before adding new oil. Replace the oil after several uses to preserve the taste of food.

Where is the reset button located?

The reset button is located at the back of the control element (the housing with the indicators and thermostat). It is accessible only when the appliance is unplugged and cooled. Use a plastic or wooden object at least 4 cm long to press it.

What are the cooking times for fries?

For fresh fries, set the thermostat to 190°C and cook for 8 to 10 minutes. For frozen fries, the time may vary slightly. Consult the cooking chart in the manual for other foods. Times are given as a guide.
