Frequently Asked Questions - FRI3200 BRANDT

How much oil should I use?

The oil level must be between the MIN and MAX marks indicated on the tank wall. Never exceed the maximum level to avoid overflow.

Can I use olive oil?

No, olive oil (any type) is not recommended. Use vegetable oils like sunflower, peanut, rapeseed or corn. Also avoid solid fats.

How to clean the deep fryer?

Unplug and let it cool down. The removable tank can go in the dishwasher. The lid and basket should be hand washed with warm soapy water. The control unit and body can be wiped with a damp cloth.

What to do if the deep fryer does not heat?

Check the wall outlet, the circuit breaker, and make sure the control unit is properly inserted. If the thermal safety has tripped, let it cool for 30 minutes, then press the RESTART button with a rod.

How to reset the thermal safety?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool for 30 minutes. Remove the control unit from its housing and press the RESTART button located on the casing with a rod.

Can I fry frozen foods?

Yes, but adapt the temperature and time. For example, frozen fries: 800 g at 190°C for 8 to 10 minutes. Shake the basket once or twice for even cooking.

What is the maximum basket capacity?

The maximum capacity is 1 kg, but for optimal results, do not exceed the recommended weights in the cooking guide (e.g., 800 g for frozen fries).

Should I preheat the oil?

Yes, wait for the temperature indicator to turn off before adding food. This indicates the oil has reached the set temperature. Never put food in cold oil.

How to store the deep fryer?

After complete cooling, remove the oil (you can filter and reuse it), clean the appliance, replace the basket, fold the handle and close the lid. Store it in a dry place.

b) Before Using for the First Time

• Unpack the machine and remove all the paper and plastic. Make sure no pieces of packaging remain inside or outside the machine.
• Clean the lid and frying basket with hot soapy water. Clean the tank in the dishwasher.
• Only wipe the machine, the control unit and the body with a damp tea towel.
  • Always use your machine on a stable, safe, dry, horizontal surface.
• Arrange sufficient space above and around all the sides for the circulation of air.
• Do not leave the machine in contact with flammable surfaces when in use (such as curtains and wallpaper).
• Be very vigilant when using the machine on surfaces which could be damaged by heat. The use of insulated protection is recommended.

a) Use of the machine

• For frying only use good quality vegetable oil. Do not use SOLID FAT, vegetable fat for frying, beef fat, horse fat, butter, margarine or olive oil.
  • Fill the fryer pot with oil to between the MIN and MAX level indicated.

- Plug in the machine.

- Turn the temperature setting button clockwise to increase the temperature. The indicator light comes on showing that the machine is heating up to the required temperature.

- Once this temperature is reached the indicator light goes out. You can then put your food in the oil.

- In order not to alter the taste of the food, it is advisable to periodically renew the oil bath after cooking.

Caution: do not put your food in the oil until it is hot.

• Once you have finished using the fryer unplug it.
- Put the lid back on and leave the oil in the fryer to cool completely before moving or cleaning the machine. Always use the handles to move the machine. Never try to move the deep fryer holding it by its lid or the pot.

We recommend removing the oil from the fryer once it has cooled completely and cleaning the machine before putting it away.

b) Cooking Guide

The table below provides guidelines for cooking food that is normally fried. All the food is fried with the oil at MAX level.

The maximum capacity of the basket is 1 kg but for excellent results we recommend that you do not exceed the weight recommended in the table below.

INGREDIENTS	Weight/Quantities	Temperature	Approx. cooking time (minutes)	Comments
Frozen chips	800 g	190°C	8-10	Gently shake the basket once or twice during cooking to ensure that cooking is carried out properly
Frozen cod or battered haddock	2-4 portions approx. 100 g each and 1.5 cm thick	160°C	8-9	Thick portions may take longer to cook in the middle. Turn the fish in the oil occasionally using tongs
Breaded frozen scampi	340 g packet	180°C	3-4	The scampi will have a deep golden colour when cooked
Fresh and breaded prawns	140 g packet	180°C	1-2	Follow the manufacturer's instructions
Cod fillet fingers	10 fingers (300 g per packet)	160°C	4-5	Stir the sticks from time to time to ensure cooking is carried out properly
Frozen chicken - Breaded fillet	2 portions approx. 100 g each	160°C – 170°C	9-10	The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink in the centre. Ensure that the food is boiling hot throughout.

It is important to take into account which food you want to fry in order to determine the appropriate temperature. Use the guideline information in the table below, the advice of the manufacturer and your own decision to guide you.

Do not overload the basket. This will reduce the oil temperature and your food will be greasier and less crunchy.

In addition, if you fill the basket the food will not cook evenly because all the oil cannot reach all the food. It is therefore preferable to cook in batches. Make sure the food is cooked in the centre. If the oil temperature is too high the surface of the food will brown quickly whilst the centre will not be cooked.

c) Recommendations for Use

1. Frying

• Small food items will cook faster than big items. It may be necessary to cook chicken and frozen food for longer and at a lower temperature to avoid the surfaces cooking before the inside.
• Delicate food like prawns, or indeed diced vegetables, requires cooking at a higher temperature for less time.
• Before using the fryer it should always be filled with oil to a level between the minimum and maximum marked in the tank.
• Do not expose face or hands to steam or contact with boiling oil.
• For even cooking stir or turn the food with suitable utensils, or shake the basket gently during cooking.

2. Checking that the food is hot.

Take a knife and insert it into the food. Hold it there for several seconds before taking it out. If the knife is hot when you touch it your food is hot in the middle.

You can also use a food thermometer. The chicken is cooked when its juice runs clear and the meat is no longer pink in the middle.

3. Utensils

• Choose your kitchen utensils with care. Do not use utensils that might melt (e.g. plastic).
  • Be careful not to damage your machine when you use metal utensils.
  • Use suitable gloves or utensils with insulated handles.
  • Suitable utensils are those in metal or heat-resistant plastic, skimmers and tongs.
• Unsuitable utensils are those in wood, plastic that is not resistant to heat, knives or other sharp tools.

4. Oil

Oils recommended for use in the fryer

Sunflower

Peanut

Rapeseed

Corn

4) LOOKING AFTER AND CLEANING YOUR MACHINE

Always unplug your fryer and leave the oil and your fryer to empty completely before cleaning or dismantling it.

Never soak the control unit, the power supply lead or the plug in water or any other liquid. Never use abrasive cleaning products.

a) Dismantling the Deep Fryer before Cleaning it

• Remove the fryer lid and basket.
• Carefully remove the control unit and the element in the body. To do this hold the control unit with one hand whilst holding the body firmly with the other. Just lift the control unit upwards until it detaches from the body.
• Remove the frying pot. Grip the edge of the bowl with two hands and remove it from the body.

b) Cleaning the Deep Fryer

- Clean the lid:

Wash the lid by hand in hot soapy water. Rub using a sponge. Dry the lid completely before putting it away.
