II. BEFORE THE FIRST USE

Remove all packagings and stickers. Keep packaging away from children. First check your appliances for possible damages. If it is damaged, do NOT use the appliance but bring it back to your sales point. Before the first use we recommend to clean all components thoroughly (see Point 4: Cleaning) Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance is the same as your main voltage. According to the safety law: only use earthed sockets.

Only use the deep fryer for deep-frying purposes. Fill the reservoir with oil or melted fat until the MAX level (1.5 litre). Make sure that the oil or frying fat is always above the minimum level. NEVER switch the deep fryer on before you have filled it with oil. NEVER leave water in the oil reservoir when filling it with oil. The oil level must always be between MIN and MAX for frying. NEVER use the deep fryer with the lid on, nor heat up with the lid on. Before inserting the plug into the socket, fold out the basket handle and suspend the basket on the hook. Now turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the desired temperature. The indicator light goes on. As the selected temperature is reached, the indicator light goes out. The fryer is ready for use. We recommend using frying oil instead of fat. When using frying fat place the block of fat on the bottom of the bowl without the basket. Put the previously dried food in the basket (max. 2/3). For an optimal frying result, we advise following quantities :17 -Frozen French fries : fill the basket max. 2/3 -Fresh French fries : max. 150gr per litre oil or 900gr solid fat -Delicate dishes like croquettes, fish, …. : only cover the bottom of the bowl Immerse the basket gently in the oil or frying fat to allow the water contained in the food to evaporate. IMPORTANT : To avoid damage to the oil, never add salt or spices during the frying. It’s better not to thaw out frozen small portions, this way the quality will be much better. After frying pull the basket up and suspend it on the hook. Bring the thermostat button back to the position of the lowest temperature and disconnect the plug. Allow complete cooling before emptying and cleaning the deep fryer. Only fold in the basket handle when the oil has completely cooled off, only than can the lid be placed on the appliances.

NEVER immerse the appliance in water. Clean the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth and dry it with a clean towel. First clean the inside with a paper towel and then wipe with a wet cloth dipped in soapy water. Rinse the inside well with clean water and allow to dry completely.
