Frequently Asked Questions - DF5410 Clas Ohlson

What should I do if the fryer stops heating?

The safety cut-off switch may have tripped. Unplug the fryer, let it cool, lift the control panel, and press the reset button with a pointed object. Reassemble and try again.

Why is steam escaping from under the lid?

The lid may not be properly closed. Ensure the lid is securely shut before use.

Why is oil spilling over?

Operating instructions

1. Make sure that the temperature control knob is in turned down to zero.
2. Remove the lid.
3. Fill the oil basin with appropriate oil, max 3.5 litres. Adjust the level according to what you plan to fry.
4. Smear a little oil onto the viewing window to prevent it from fogging up during frying.
5. Refit the lid.

14. Do not move the fryer until the oil has cooled completely.
15. Change the oil after 8–10 uses or when necessary.

Frying tips

• Start by frying at the lowest frying temperature.
• When you fry batches of similar food the oil may cool slightly. Between batches you should wait 3–5 minutes until the fryer regains frying temperature. The green indicator light turns off once the fryer is ready to use.
• Food which has been precooked requires higher temperatures but a shorter frying time compared to food that is raw.
  • Never fill the frying basket to more than half-full.
  • Never mix different types of oils.
• Use vegetable, corn or olive oil for frying. We do not recommend using oil with short shelf life such as sunflower oil.
