FRYING TIPS

1. Operate the appliance only on dry and stable surfaces resistant to

high temperatures, away from any edges. Locate the appliance in a manner making it possible to fully slide out the bowl and basket assembly.

2. Do not use in cupboards. Steam flowing from vents may damage them. Never use the appli-

ance without the basket.

3. Always unplug the appliance from power after use. Before cleaning, always wait until the

appliance cools off completely! Clean the appliance after each use!

1. Plug the power cord (6) to an earthed socket.

NOTE! Do not fill over the “MAX” indicator level or exceed the maximum amount of ingredients specified in the table (see section “APPROXIMATE FRYING TIME”) as it may have negative impact on the quality of dishes prepared.

4. Holding the handle (10), slide the bowl with the basket back in the Fitfryer.

NOTE! Do not touch the bowl during appliance operation or shortly after its operation is completed as the bowl reaches very high temperatures. Never use the appliance without the basket inserted in the bowl.

5. Press the on switch (3A) to turn on the appliance. The appliance features an automatic switch-

off function. If no button is pressed within 5 minutes from turning on the appliance, it will turn off automatically.

6. Select a dedicated frying programme using the programme selector “M” (3B). The pro-

gramme icon (3H) will light up, and the frying time and temperature dedicated for the pro- gramme will be displayed.

7. Modify the frying time and temperature if necessary using the buttons (3D) and (3C). You can

also modify these settings during the programme. It is possible to declare the temperature and time without selecting any programme, but in this case the appliance will stop the frying process automatically when you remove the bowl with the basket. CAUTION! If the appliance was not pre-heated add 3 minutes to the frying time.

8. Press the start/stop button (3A) to start the frying process. The frying process is indicated

with icon animation (3G) and air fan operation. The display (3F) will show the time to end the frying process. CAUTION! Steam coming out of the outlets during frying is normal. Keep your hands and face away from the outlets to avoid scalding. You need to shake some products during frying (fig. 5) (see the table in section “APPROXIMATE FRYING TIME”) after removing the bowl with the basket. CAUTION! Do not press the basket release button (9) while shaking (fig. 6). To reduce the weight you can remove the basket from the bowl and shake the basket only: put the bowl with the basket on a heatproof surface, open the button cover (11) and press the button (9) to remove the basket.

9. A sound signal will indicate that the frying process is over.

CAUTION! You can stop the frying process manually by pressing the start/stop but- ton (3B). If you press the (3A) button again within 20 seconds, the frying process will resume.

2. Soak the potato sticks in a bowl for at least 30 minutes,take them out and dry them with

3. Pour 1/ 2 tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl, put the sticks on top and mix until the sticks are

4. Remove the sticks from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that excess oil stays

behind in the bowl.Put the sticks in the basket. NOTE! Do not tilt the bowl to put all the sticks in the basket in one go,to prevent excess oil from ending up on the bottom of the pan.

5. Fry the potato sticks according to the instructions in this chapter.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Prior to cleaning, unplug the appliance from the mains socket and wait until the appliance

cools off completely.

2. Slide out the bowl with the basket so that the appliance cools off more quickly. Wait until the

bowl cools off before removing it from the appliance. CAUTION! The bowl, basket and appliance interior are covered with an anti-sticking coat. Do not clean them using metal kitchen appliances or abrasive agents as it may result in damaging the coat.

3. Wipe the housing with a wet cloth. Never immerse the housing in water or any other liquid.

Never wash it using a dishwasher.

4. Wash the bowl and basket with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse off and dry com-

pletely. Do not use wire brushes or abrasive agents to clean the housing. The basket way be washed in a dishwasher.

5. Clean the interior with hot water and a delicate sponge that will not scratch any surfaces.

6. Clean the heating element using a cleaning brush to remove all dirt.

7. After cleaning and drying, assemble the appliance and store it in a safe place.

If the bottom of the basket or bowl is dirty, fill the bowl with hot water and a little washing-up liquid. Insert the basket to the bowl and let it soak for approx. 10 minutes.

USEFUL TIPS When the appliance is used for the first time, it may emit a slight unpleasant smell or delicate smoke. It is standard behaviour.

Fry products of similar sizes or thickness as it will ensure their uniform frying at the same time. Do not fill the basket over the “MAX” level. Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter frying time than larger ones. Large volumes of ingredients require a slightly longer frying time than smaller volumes. Shake smaller ingredients at the half of their frying time to move them around. This ensures optimum results and prevents uneven frying. Fitfryer must not be used to prepare very greasy dishes, e.g. sausages. The optimum volume of ingredients to prepare crispy fries is 500 g.

Fitfryer may also be used to preheat ingredients. In order to preheat ingredients, set the temperature to 150°C, for about 10 minutes.

DEDICATED DISH PREPARATION PROGRAMMES

The appliance features 8 dedicated programmes for specific dish groups. Each programme has its own dedicated frying time and temperature. Depending on what dish you are making and what taste you want to achieve, you can modify each programme to suit your needs by changing the time and temperature settings. It is not necessary to follow the dedicated programmes strictly. They are intended to suggest the recommended starting parameters. Over time, you will probably come up with your own time and temperature settings for each programme depending on what dish you are preparing. Note that the more food in the basket, the longer the frying time should be, and vice versa: the less food, the shorter the time. The following programmes are available: Programme icon Programme name Dedicated running time Dedicated temperature “muffins” 30 minutes 160 °C “seafood” 20 minutes 160 °C “steaks” 25 minutes 180 °C “chips” 15 minutes 200 °C “chicken” 20 minutes 200 °C25

“shish kebab” 20 minutes 180 °C “fish” 20 minutes 160 °C “pizza” 20 minutes 170 °C

TROUBLESHOOTING See the table below for the most common problems that may occur during appliance oper- ation. Problem Possible cause Solution The ingredients are fried unevenly in the Fitfryer. Certain types of ingredients need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time. Ingredients that lie on top of or across each other(e.g.fries) need to be shaken halfway through the preparation time. Fried snacks are not crispy when they come out of the Fitfryer. You used a type of snacks meant to be prepared in a traditional deep fryer. Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto the snacks for a crispier result I cannot slide the pan into the appliance properly. There are too much ingredients in the basket. Do not fill the basket beyond the MAX indication. The basket is not placed in the pan correctly. Push the basket down into the pan until you hear a click. The handle of the baking tray is obstructing the pan. Push the handle to a horizontal position, so it does not stick out on top of the basket. White smoke comes out of the appliance. You are preparing greasy ingredients. When you fry greasy ingredients in the Fitfryer, a large amount of oil will leak into the pan. The oil produces white smoke and the pan may heat up more than usual. This does not affect the appliance or the end result The pan still contains grease residues from previous use. When you fry greasy ingredients in the Fitfryer, a large amount of oil will leak into the pan. The oil produces white smoke and the pan may heat up more than usual. This does not affect the appliance or the end result Fresh fries are fried unevenly in the Fitfryer. You did not soak the potato sticks properly before you fried them. Soak the potato sticks in a bowl for at least 30 minutes, take them out and dry them with kitchen paper. You did not use the right potato type. Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay firm during frying. Fresh fries are not crispy when they come out of the Fitfryer. The crispiness of the fries depends on the amount of oil and water in the fries. Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly before you add the oil. Cut the potato sticks smaller for a crispier result Add slightly more oil for a crispier result27
