Introduction
The deep fryer is equipped with an adjustable
thermostat, so that the temperature can be
adapted to the food being fried.
Connection: The fryer must be connected to
a properly installed 230V, 50Hz socket with
earthing protection.
Before using for the first time
• Remove the packaging. Then take the lid off
the deep fat fryer. In the deep fat fryer you will
find a frying basket. Take all objects out of the
fryer.
• It is highly recommended to clean the lid,
casing, container and frying basket as de-
scribed in the Cleaning section.
• Please pull the connection cable out of the
cable compartment.
Useful hints for use
• Always remove the food remaining in the oil
(e.g. Pieces of French fries). Change the oil
after using it 8-10 times.
• Deep frying fat must be capable of be-
ing heated to high temperatures. Use high
quality frying oil or frying grease. Do not use
margarine, olive oil or butter: they are not fit
for frying, because they start to smoke at low
temperatures. Furthermore, the frying time
should be kept as short as possible and the
food only fried until it turns golden yellow.
• Please note that the safety switch is operated
when the control element is inserted into the
guide mechanism.
• Choose the right frying temperature and
check the conditions of the food to be fried. A
rule of thumb is that pre-fried foods require a
higher temperature than raw foods.
• Do not carry or move the deep fryer if the oil
or grease is still hot.
• When frying dough-like foods scrape off the
excess dough and put the pieces carefully
into the oil.
• Please ensure that the handle of the deep fat
frying basket has been correctly attached.
• Press the ends of the wire together at the free
end of the handle.
• Insert the brackets into wire hoops inside the
basket.
• The deep fat frying basket must not be more
than 2/3 full. Do not overfill the frying basket
(The maximum filling quantity for chips is
200g per litre of oil/fat).
• Rub dry humid foods with a cloth before fry-
ing.
• Caution: In the case of foodstuffs which
are too moist (e.g. Frozen chips etc.) Large
amounts of foam may form, which under
certain circumstances may cause the oil to
overflow.
• After use, unplug the deep fryer.
Use
• Make sure that the appliance is unplugged
and switched off (The control lamps are off.).
• Take the lid off the deep fryer.
• Remove the frying basket and fill the contain-
er with oil or grease (maximum). The filling
level must be located between the minimum
and the maximum level. Put the lid back on.
Please note the following important informa-
tion!
• If you use fat, divide it up into small pieces
and place it on the floor of the deep frying
vessel.
• Under no circumstances should you place
the fat in the deep frying basket.
• Insert the plug into a 230V, 50Hz power
socket. The red control lamp lights up. Set
the desired temperature by turning the tem-
perature control.
• The green control lamp lights up. Once the
set temperature has been reached the green
control lamp goes off. Take the lid off and
put the frying basket with the food to be fried
carefully into the hot oil.
• The green control lamp switches on and off
several times during frying. This is normal
and it indicates that the temperature is con-
trolled by the thermostat and is being main-
tained. At the end of the frying time (the frying
time is specified on the package of the food
or in the recipe) open the lid carefully (Warn-
ing! Hot steam may be released!). Remove
the frying basket.
• Let the oil drip from the food being fried.
• In order to switch off the machine, please turn
the temperature regulator to OFF and remove
the plug from the socket. Wind the mains
lead up in the form of a spiral in the cable
compartment.
