SPECIAL SAFETY INFORMATION FOR DEEP FRYERS

1. During use, the deep fryer becomes very hot. As soon

as the food is ready and the appliance is no longer needed, switch it off and unplug the plug from the power socket.

2. Use the appliance only to cook food as described in this instruction manual.

Use only foods that are suitable for deep frying.

3. Dry food before deep frying.

4. Never add water to the food in the appliance.

5. Hot steam can develop during deep frying. Keep your face and hands at a

safe distance and be especially careful when opening the deep fryer.

6. Provide for adequate ventilation during deep frying.

7. Never cover the deep fryer when it is in use, as it might overheat.

8. Notice: During the first use, there might be some harmless smoke.

9. Note: The silicone stopper located in the front of the frying basket does not

need to be removed. It serves to protect the coating of the deep-frying insert and complies with all legal requirements for objects that come into contact with food.

1. Remove all packaging materials and any transport guards and stickers (not

the type plate or the serial number!). Keep the packaging material away from children. Choke hazard! Dispose of the packaging material according to the applicable statutory waste disposal regulations.

2. Inspect the appliance for damage. If there is visible damage, do not operate

the appliance; instead, contact our customer service department.

4. Clean the inside of the appliance with a damp cloth.

5. Place the appliance on a level, sturdy and heat-resistance surface.

6. Connect the plug to a power socket as specified on the type plate.

Notice: For health reasons, we recommend frying food to a golden-brown colour, avoiding dark crusts. This keeps the formation of potentially harmful acrylamide low. Notice: This deep fryer operates with hot air. Therefore, never put solid or liquid fat in the deep fryer – danger of fire! OPERATION Preparation

1. Before using the appliance, prepare it

as described in chapter “Before first use”.

2. Place the fry basket carefully in the

insert until the basket locks into position.

3. Now put the food in the fry basket. Do

not fill the basket past the MAX mark. This will ensure optimal frying results.

4. Push the insert with the fry basket into

the opening in the appliance. Deep frying

5. Select the desired temperature with

the temperature control. If you wish to prepare more than one food at a time, first check the required temperature and cooking time for the different foods.

6. Now set the desired cooking time –

max. 60 minutes – with the timer.

7. If the appliance is cold, you must add

about 5 minutes to the cooking time to allow the appliance to heat up. Tip: You can also heat the appliance for 5 minutes without food and then add the ingredients to the fry basket. Continue as described here.

8. The function indicator lamp alternates between on and off during the

cooking time. This means that the required temperature is maintained.

9. To achieve better results, it may be necessary to shake the ingredients in

the fry basket halfway through the cooking time, depending on the food. In Copyright UNOLD AG | www.unold.de30 von 116 Stand 27.5.2024

this case, use the handle to pull the insert out of the appliance and shake the ingredients carefully. Depending on the quantity of ingredients in the basket, this may need to be repeated several times. Take care not to push the release button on the handle.

10. Then put the insert with the fry basket back in the appliance. Notice: The

appliance shuts off when the fry basket is removed. As soon as the fry basket is returned to the appliance, frying continues.

switches off. Removal of food

12. Remove the insert and check whether the food has been fried to the desired

degree. If not, you can continue frying by returning the food to the appliance and setting the timer for a few more minutes.

13. Notice: Never turn the fry basket completely upside down. Excess fat from the

food collects beneath the insert in the fry basket.

14. Therefore, use tongs to remove the food from the fry basket.

15. Food such as chips can be removed by allowing it to glide carefully from the

fry basket into a bowl. Again, watch out for excess fat.

16. If you wish to deep fry other foods, you can start frying again right away.

Removal of the fry basket

17. Press the release button. Pull the fry basket upward out of the insert.

Switching off the appliance When you are finished frying food, switch the timer to “0” and unplug the appliance from the power socket.

After use and before cleaning, set the timer to “0” and unplug the appliance. Allow the appliance to cool. Removing the fry basket will speed up cooling (faster if the frying basket and the frying insert are removed). Pour out any grease that collected in the fry basket.

1. Wipe the inside and the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth and a

little washing-up liquid. If necessary, use a grease cleaner and then wipe the surfaces clean, using a damp cloth and clean water. Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaners. Ensure that there is no water ingress. After cleaning, carefully dry the appliance.

2. If necessary, pour any fat out of the deep-frying basket.

3. The fry basket and insert can be cleaned in warm water with mild washing-

up liquid added. To remove stubborn residue, put some warm washing-up liquid in the fry insert and allow to soak about 10 minutes. Rinse with water and then clean as described above.

TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Cause Remedy The appliance does not operate Power plug not plugged in Timer not switched on Check whether the power plug is properly plugged in. Select the required cook- ing time with the timer Copyright UNOLD AG | www.unold.de32 von 116 Stand 27.5.2024

Problem Cause Remedy Food is not done at the end of the cooking time Quantity of ingredients too high Temperature is too low Cooking time too short Check the quantity of ingredients and put a smaller quantity in the fry basket Select a higher tempera- ture Select a longer cooking time Food browns un- evenly Food was not shaken half- way through the cooking time Food such as chips must be shaken once half- way through frying to achieve even browning. Home-made chips must be rinsed and dried thor- oughly before frying to remove excess starch. Food not crispy enough Some foods are intended for frying in conventional deep fryers Coat the food with a lit- tle oil The fry container cannot be inserted in the appliance Greasy ingredients Grease residues in the frying container With extremely greasy foods, grease drips into the frying container so that white smoke occurs. This is normal. Thoroughly clean the fry- ing container. White smoke is escaping from the appliance The fry basket is overfull The fry basket is not insert- ed correctly Observe the MAX mark on the fry basket Check whether the fry basket is correctly locked into position.

COOKING TIMES The times depend on the size, thickness and quality of the foods and possibly also on the material of the baking tin. Starchy foods that have not been pre-baked, such as chips, should be brushed or sprayed with a thin coat of oil. This likewise applies to vegetables. Bread or cake tins should not fill the entire basket, to allow air to circulate. Before turning out cake or bread, check it with the “skewer test”: Simply insert a wooden skewer into the cake or bread and pull it back out. If nothing sticks to the skewer, the bread or cake is done. Half-baked rolls or frozen rolls should be sprayed with water before baking. This will give them a shiny crust as if fresh from the baker. When cooking sausages, make sure they are not in contact with each other in the fry basket. Brush the sausages with cream to make them brown especially well. All of our cooking times are approximate and can be adjusted to suit your personal taste. The same applies to the cooking temperatures. Food Quantity
