FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - DF520 KENWOOD

Comment nettoyer ma friteuse Kenwood DF520 ?

Débranchez et retirez le bloc électrique. Lavez le bol, le panier et le couvercle dans de l'eau chaude savonneuse ou au lave-vaisselle. Ne plongez jamais le bloc électrique dans l'eau. Séchez toutes les pièces avant de remonter.

Pourquoi mon huile déborde-t-elle ?

Le niveau d'huile peut dépasser le repère MAX, ou le panier est surchargé. Assurez-vous que le niveau d'huile est entre MIN et MAX et respectez les quantités maximales indiquées. Égouttez et séchez les aliments avant de les frire.

Quel type d'huile utiliser ?

Utilisez une huile de qualité comme l'huile de maïs ou d'arachide. Une matière grasse solide convient aussi. Ne mélangez pas différentes huiles et n'utilisez pas d'huile d'olive, de beurre ou de margarine qui fument ou débordent.

Comment régler le minuteur ?

Appuyez brièvement sur le bouton du minuteur : l'affichage clignote '00'. Appuyez à nouveau par incréments d'une minute jusqu'au temps souhaité, puis relâchez. Le décompte commence après 5 secondes. Pour modifier, maintenez le bouton enfoncé 3 secondes pour réinitialiser.

Que faire si la friteuse ne fonctionne pas ?

Vérifiez que la friteuse est branchée et que le bloc électrique est correctement inséré. Contrôlez le fusible de votre installation. Si rien ne fonctionne, contactez le service après-vente Kenwood.

Comment remplacer la pile du minuteur ?

Tournez le couvercle de la pile dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre et retirez la pile usagée. Remplacez-la par une pile de type L1154 ou équivalente, en respectant la polarité. Refermez le couvercle.

Quelles sont les quantités maximales de frites ?

Pour des frites fraîches, ne dépassez pas 1,2 kg. Pour des frites surgelées, limitez à 1 kg. Respectez ces quantités pour éviter les débordements et une cuisson homogène.

Pourquoi l'huile fume-t-elle ?

L'huile peut être trop vieille ou de mauvaise qualité. Remplacez-la après 8 à 10 utilisations. Utilisez une huile adaptée à la friture et ne dépassez pas la température recommandée.

Comment obtenir des frites croustillantes ?

Coupez les pommes de terre uniformément, rincez-les et séchez-les soigneusement. Utilisez des pommes de terre farineuses comme King Edward ou Maris Piper. Pour de meilleurs résultats, pré-cuisez à 170°C puis terminez à 190°C.

Où trouver des pièces détachées ?

Contactez le service client Kenwood au 023 92392333 (Royaume-Uni) ou le revendeur où vous avez acheté la friteuse. Des pièces telles que le panier ou le couvercle sont disponibles.

safety

• Never plug in the fryer before filling the bowl with oil.

• Keep children away during use and after - fat stays hot for a long time.

• Never let the cord touch hot surfaces or hang down over the worktop edge - a child could grab it and pull the fryer down. Place excess cord in cord storage area at the back of the fryer.

• Never touch the bowl, pour away oil or move your fryer while the oil's hot.

• Never put the electrics unit in water. Remove it before washing the rest of your fryer.

• After cleaning, ensure the bowl and its electric pins are dry before use.

• Never leave your fryer on unattended.

• This fryer is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with this appliance.

• Take care when removing the electrics unit - the temperature probes may be hot.

• Do not use if there is any damage to the fryer, cord or plug. Get it checked or repaired: see 'service'.

• Only use the electrics unit supplied.

• Watch out for steam during cooking and when you open the lid.

• Never put your fryer near or on cooker hot plates.

• This fryer is for domestic use only.

to dismantle, assemble and use your fryer

to dismantle

1. Push the lid release (8) down to open the lid. Then lift the lid off.
   2 Lift up the handle and remove the basket.
   3 Pull out the electrics unit and then remove the bowl.

- Before removing the electrics unit check that the cord is released from the cord storage area at the back of the fryer ①

to assemble and use

1 Insert the bowl – 'MAX' and 'MIN' marks to the back of the fryer.

2 Then insert the electrics unit (0) - cord to the back of the fryer (a) + (d).
3 Pour in the oil. The level must be between the 'MAX' and 'MIN' marks (b).
4 Insert the basket and close the lid. Then lower the handle by sliding back the rise & fall control ⑤.
5 Plug in and select the required temperature ⑫.
6 The light goes out when the oil reaches the right temperature to start frying. Fill the basket and lower into the oil . Don't exceed the maximum food quantities stated. The light will come on and off as the fryer maintains the temperature.
7 Set the timer ⑪ by pressing the button until the required time is reached. The time will start counting down as soon as the button is released. See "operating the timer".
8 When ready, raise the basket and allow the food to drain before opening the lid.
- To re-use oil, allow to cool then pour the oil through fine muslin or absorbent paper.
Always unplug the fryer after use. hints
- We would recommend the use of a good quality oil for deep frying, such as corn oil or groundnut oil. A good

quality solid fat may also be used. Other oils may be used if they are specifically recommended by the manufacturer for deep frying. Never mix different oils or fat and do not use olive oil, butter or margarine as they will smoke or bubble over.

• Pre-cooked food needs a higher temperature than raw food.
• Cook food thoroughly. The outside may look ready before the inside is cooked.
• Keep your fryer with oil (cooled and strained) inside it, ready for use. The lid keeps the dust out.
• Before frying battered food, drain off excess batter.
• To make chips, cut potatoes up evenly, so they cook evenly. Rinse and dry before frying. For best results use dry floury textured potatoes i.e. King Edwards or Maris Piper.
  To prolong the life of your fryer, filter the oil after each use and change it after 8 - 10 uses.
• Shake off any excess ice before frying frozen foods.

• fresh chips 1.2Kg
• frozen chips 1Kg
