Congratulations! You have purchased a Princess product. Our aim is to provide quality products with a tasteful design and at an affordable price. We hope that you will enjoy this product for many years. Description (fig. A) Your 182223 Princess deep fryer been designed for deep-frying food using oil or liquid fat. The appliance is not suitable for deep-frying food using solid fat. The appliance is suitable for indoor use only. The appliance is suitable for domestic use only. The maximum capacity of the appliance is 3 litres (2x). The maximum quantity for chips is 600 grams (2x).

Before you proceed, we need you to pay attention to the following notes: - Always hold the electronic control unit horizontally during use or during cleaning. Do not hold the electronic control unit vertically, diagonally or upside down during use or during cleaning. Initial use Before you proceed, we need you to pay attention to the following notes: - Make sure that there is sufficient space around the appliance to allow heat to escape and provide sufficient ventilation. Clean the appliance. Refer to the section • "Cleaning and maintenance". Clean the accessories. Refer to the section • "Cleaning and maintenance". Assembly (fig. A & B) Before you proceed, we need you to pay attention to the following notes: - Before assembly or disassembly, remove the mains plug from the wall socket and wait until the appliance has cooled down. The deep fryer has a ‘cold zone' at the bottom of the appliance. The ‘cold zone' is a zone where larger food particles sink and the lower temperature keeps them from being burnt by the oil or the liquid fat. Deep fryers with a ‘cold zone' have many advantages, but also require special attention. Deep fryers with a ‘cold zone' are sensitive to water as the heating element is immersed in oil or liquid fat. Water can get in touch with the oil or the liquid fat due to various causes: - Most food, especially potatoes, naturally contains water. - Condensation of hot steam. - Ice particles in frozen food. - Food is washed but not dried thoroughly before use. - The removable pan is not dried thoroughly after cleaning. - The wrong type of oil or liquid fat is used. If water gets in touch with the oil or the liquid fat, the substance may start to splash, effervesce or overflow excessively. In order to optimise the deep fryers, Princess has developed a special safety filter which further decreases the temperature of the ‘cold zone' and distributes water particles more effectively. The safety filter prevents the substance from splashing, effervescing or overflowing. Before you proceed, we would like you to focus your attention on the following notes: - Regularly change the oil or the liquid fat. - Regularly clean the safety filter. Make sure that the openings in the safety filter are not blocked. Place the removable pan (6) into the • appliance. Place the safety filter (7) onto the bottom • of the removable pan (6). Mount the electronic control unit (5) to the • appliance.10

Mount the basket grip (9) to the basket • (8). Place the basket (8) into the removable pan (6). Place the lid (10) onto the appliance.• Use Switching on and off (fig. A) The appliance is equipped with a thermostat that keeps the oil or the liquid fat at the required temperature. Before you proceed, we need you to pay attention to the following notes: - Do not use the appliance when the removable pan is not filled with oil or liquid fat. Insert the mains plug into the wall socket. • The power indicator (2) comes on. To switch on the appliance, turn the • thermostat dial (1) to set the required temperature. The temperature indicator (3) remains on while the thermostat heats the oil or the liquid fat. The temperature indicator (3) goes off when the oil or the liquid fat has reached the required temperature. While the appliance is switched on, the • temperature indicator (3) will illuminate and extinguish as the thermostat switches on and off to maintain the required temperature. To switch off the appliance, turn the • thermostat dial (1) to the off position. Make sure that the dots on the thermostat dial (1) and the electronic control unit (5) are aligned. The temperature indicator (3) goes off. Remove the mains plug from the wall • socket. The power indicator (2) goes off. Setting the temperature (fig. A) The temperature can be adjusted from 160 °C to 190 °C. Turn the thermostat dial (1) to set the • temperature. The temperature indicator (3) goes off when the oil or the liquid fat has reached the required temperature. Deep-frying temperature Food Temperature (°C) Chips (pre-frying) 170 Chips (final frying) 175 Parmesan fondue 170 Cheese croquettes 170 Potato croquettes 175 Meat croquettes 175 Fish croquettes 175 Fish 170 Fish fingers 180 Cheese fritters 180 Prawn fritters 180 Minced-meat hot dogs 180 Chicken 170 For the best fresh chips, it is recommended to proceed as follows: - Deep-fry the chips at 170 °C for 5-10 minutes. Shake the basket to loosen the chips. Allow the chips to cool down in a bowl for a short period. - Deep-fry the chips at 175 °C for 2-4 minutes. Shake the basket to loosen the chips. Allow the chips to cool down in a bowl for a short period. Resetting the appliance (fig. A) If the appliance does not function properly or if an error occurs, the appliance can be reset. Press the reset button (4) on the electronic • control unit (5) to reset the appliance. Use the reset stick (11). Hints for use Place the appliance on a stable and flat • surface. Assemble the appliance. Refer to the • section "Assembly". Fill the removable pan with oil or liquid fat. • Make sure that the oil/liquid fat level is between the minimum mark and the maximum mark on the removable pan (fig. B). Insert the mains plug into the wall socket. • The power indicator comes on. Set the required temperature. Consult the • food packaging for the required temperature and the required time.11

The temperature indicator goes off when the oil or the liquid fat has reached the required temperature. Allow the appliance to pre-heat for • approximately 15 minutes with the oil or liquid fat at the required temperature. Remove ice from frozen food and dry the • food to avoid splashing of hot oil or liquid fat. Fill the basket with the food.• Place the basket into the appliance.• If the process is completed, remove the • basket from the appliance. Hold the basket grip and shake the basket • with the food to remove excessive oil or liquid fat. Empty the basket onto a plate or a dish.• If you want to deep-fry more food, repeat • the above steps. Regularly check whether the oil/liquid fat level is between the minimum mark and the maximum mark on the removable pan (fig. B). If necessary, add more oil or liquid fat. After use, switch off the appliance, remove • the mains plug from the wall socket and wait until the appliance has cooled down. General tips Use liquid vegetable oil, such as peanut oil, • corn oil or soya oil for the tastiest results. Always deep-fry the food at the right • temperature. Make sure that the food is in the basket during the automatic heat-up time. Defrost the food before use for the • healthiest results. Do not deep-fry pre-cooked chips more • than once. Always pre-fry fresh chips. Do not fill the basket with too much food • to avoid undesired frying results. Regularly refresh the oil or the liquid fat for • the healthiest results. Always change the oil or the liquid fat after deep-frying raw snacks like chicken legs. Keep the oil or the liquid fat fresh for a • longer period by sieving it after use to remove food residues.
