Cooking with oil

• Cooking with oil can enhance the flavour of food or spoil its taste. As with any other food component, freshness and correct handling of oil is the key to successful deep-frying results. The quality of oil decreases with use at high temperatures.
• Do not mix different cooking oils.
• Only use fresh and clean cooking oils.
• Suitable: pure corn oil, vegetable oils, soybean oil, sunflower oil, grape-seed oil, and peanut oil.

• Not suitable: olive oil, walnut oil lard.

• Regularly remove burnt food particles while frying. Always use utensils that are safe to immerse into hot oils and always wear oven mitts when removing any burnt food particles.

• After use and before storage, filter oil with the integrated filtration system (see Oil Filtration).
• Do not reuse oil that has been used to fry fish or other strongly flavoured food.
• Some meats, such as chicken wings, will release large amounts of liquids when frying, thus watering down the oil. Do not reuse this oil.

Avoiding burns

• Do not touch the lid (3) or appliance housing (13) during or after use (il. i). Only use the handles (1, 7, 19) provided.
• Always pay special attention when adding or removing accessories and food from the appliance.
• Never touch the lid (3) or appliance housing (13) when the appliance is plugged in and switched on or immediately after use. It is recommended to always use oven mitts.

Oil filtration

• Filter oil after each use. Store filtered oil properly (see Storing oil).
• Discard oils that have been used to cook certain food (see Cooking with oil).
• After switching off the appliance, wait at least 3 hours for oil to cool down. Hotter oil will take longer to reach a cool temperature.
• Filtering oil after each use will help prolong the life of the cooking oil, but it should still be discarded if the oil is deteriorated after multiple use. It is recommended to change oil, in normal use, every 10 uses.
• Ensure the clean-oil container (15) is assembled, empty and in place inside the appliance.
• Once oil has cooled down to room temperature, turn the oil filtration control knob (14) to the filter oil position (il. r). Oil will start dripping inside the clean-oil container (15). The oil filter will keep food residues from being transferred to the clean-oil container.
• When all oil has been filtered, turn the oil filtration knob (14) to the lock position if the container will remain inside the appliance.
• turn the oil filtration control knob (14) to unlock position if the container is to be removed from the appliance.

Emptying the clean-oil container

Filtered oil can be stored in a suitable container (see Storing oil) or re-used for frying a new batch of food (see Cooking with oil).

1. Unscrew the cap (16) on top of the clean-oil container (15) (il. s).
2. Slowly pour the clean-oil container (15) content into a suitable container or the oil tank (9), if required. Ensure the oil filtration control knob (14) is on unlock position before pouring oil into the oil tank (9).
3. Tilt the clean-oil container (15) upwards (vertical position) gradually to avoid leaks from

ENGLISH

the side of the container.

1. Screw the cap (16) back on top of the clean-oil container (15) (il. s).
2. Insert the clean-oil container (15) back into the appliance and turn the oil filtration knob (14) to the lock position to secure the clean-oil container (15) in place.

Storing oil

• Do not store used cooking oil in the refrigerator.
• Choose a cool place that is not subject to sunlight.
• Generally, oil may be stored for a period of 3 months once the bottle is opened.
• Please observe the oil manufacturer's storage directions as well.

Tips

• Smaller quantities of food normally require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger quantities of food.
• To reduce cooking time, defrost food prior to cooking. It is recommended that some foods should not be thawed/defrosted prior to cooking, such as frozen fish or frozen French fries.
• It is recommended to use a meat thermometer to check the cooking progress.
• In the event of food flare-ups, do not remove the lid (3), do not remove the frying basket (6); turn the temperature knob (23) to the 0 position and unplug the appliance.
• When the food you are cooking requires shaking, it is recommended to use a timer set for half of the suggested cooking time. This way a bell will ring and remind you to shake the frying basket (6).
• It is recommended to only use nylon, heat-proof plastic, or wooden cooking utensils. Metal utensils may become hot and damage the non-stick surface. Always remove utensils from the appliance. Do not leave the appliance unattended while it is operating.

4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• A proper cleaning of the device after each use will lengthen its service life. The appliance contains no user serviceable parts and requires little maintenance.
• Always turn the temperature knob (23) to the 0 position before cleaning.
• Make sure no water enters the appliance housing (13) during cleaning.
