WARNING! RISK OF FIRE!

► Do not use the appliance near hot surfaces.

► Never leave the appliance unattended while it is being used.

Caution! Hot surface!

NEVER use water to extinguish a ﬁ re in the deep fat fryer!

► Old or dirty fats and oils can spontaneously ignite if overheated.

Change the oils or fats regularly. In the case of a ﬁ re, remove the

plug from the mains power socket and smother the burning fat or

oil with a damp towel or ﬁ re blanket.

CAUTION – APPLIANCE DAMAGE!

► When ﬁ lling the stainless steel container with fat, NEVER ﬁ ll it

to above the MAX marking or to below the MIN marking. First

ensure that there is suﬃ cient oil or fat in the deep fat fryer every

time you intend to switch the appliance on.

► NEVER switch the appliance on if there is no oil or liquid fat in it.

► This deep fat fryer is suitable only for frying foodstuﬀ s.

It is not designed for cooking liquids.

Before ﬁ rst use

1) Before you use the deep fat fryer for the ﬁ rst time please clean all individual com-

ponents thoroughly and carefully dry them (see Chapter “Cleaning and Care”).

Low-acrylamide cooking

Acrylamide is a possibly carcinogenic substance formed from a reaction with

amino acids when frying foodstuﬀ s with a high starch content. The formation of

acrylamide increases rapidly at temperatures of more than 175°C.

You should therefore avoid frying foodstuﬀ s with a high starch content, for

example chips, at temperatures above 170°C. The foodstuﬀ s should only be

fried to golden-yellow, instead of dark or brown. This is the only way to achieve

low-acrylamide cooking.

Solid cooking fats

To prevent fat from spraying and the appliance from becoming too hot, please

take the following precautions when using solid frying fat:

■ When using fresh fat, start by melting the blocks of fat slowly, under low

heat, in a separ

ate pan. Then carefully pour the molten fat into the deep fat

fryer. When this has been done, insert the plug into a mains power socket

and switch the deep fat fryer on.

■ After use, store the deep fat fryer with the solidiﬁ ed fat at room temperatures.

If the fat gets too cold, it could cause splattering on r

emelting! To avoid this, poke

a few holes into the solidiﬁ ed fat with a wooden or plastic spatula. Ensure that

you do not damage the operating/heating element 0.

■ To melt the fat, switch on the appliance using the on/oﬀ switch 7 and set

the temper

ature control 9 to 130˚C. The integrated control lamp in the on/

oﬀ switch 7 will light up.

■ Wait until all of the fat has melted. The green control lamp 8 can come on

and go out se

veral times during this process. Do not set the desired frying

temperature until all of the fat has melted.

After frying

1) When the fried food is ready, press the lid release button 4 and remove the lid.

2) Lift the frying basket 6 and hook it onto the rim of the appliance so that

excess fat can drip oﬀ .

3) Press the on/oﬀ switch 7. The deep fat fryer is now switched oﬀ . Remove

the plug from the mains power socket.

Tips

Home-made chips

■ Potatoes intended for frying should be in good condition and not germinating.

■ Use potato varieties that are suitable for frying, such as “King Edward”,

“Maris Piper”, “Car

a”, etc.

■ After peeling, cut the potatoes according to the intended preparation (chips

or slices).

■ Soak the potatoes for about one hour before frying. This will help remove

par

t of the sugar content, which is one of the constituent products for the

formation of acrylamide.

■ Carefully dry the potatoes.

■ Always fry home-made potatoes twice:

– ﬁ rst for 10 - 14 minutes at 150°C then for 3 - 4 minutes at 170°C,

depending on the desir

ed degree of browning.

■ Deep-frozen chips are pre-cooked and thus only need to be fried once.

Comply with the instructions on the pack

aging.

Frozen foods

Deep-frozen foodstuﬀ s (-16 to -18°C) cool the oil or fat to a considerable extent,

because of this they do not cook fast enough and may also soak up too much oil

or fat. To avoid this, proceed as follows:

■ Do not attempt to fry large volumes all at once. Do not ﬁ

ll the frying basket 6

to more than the maximum ﬁ ll level marked on the inside of the basket.

■ Heat the oil for at least 15 minutes before adding the frozen foods.

■ Adjust the temperature control 9 to the temper

ature speciﬁ ed in these

operating instructions or on the food’s packaging.

■ Preferably, allow the deep frozen food to thaw at room temperature. Remove

as much ice and w

ater as possible before adding the food into the deep fat

fryer.

■ Always add foods as slowly and carefully as possible into the deep fat

fr

yer, as deep frozen foods can cause the oil or fat to bubble violently and

abruptly.

How to hinder unwanted aftertastes

Some foodstuﬀ s, especially ﬁ sh, release ﬂ uids when being fried. These ﬂ uids

collect in the oil or fat and can inﬂ uence the smell and taste of fried foods that

are later cooked in the same oil or fat.

Proceed as follows to obtain a neutral-tasting oil or fat:

■ Heat the fat or oil to 150°C and and place two thin slices of bread or a

couple of small sprigs of par

sley into the frying basket 6.

■ Lower the frying basket 6 into the fat and close the lid.

■ Wait until the oil or fat is no longer bubbling and remove the bread or parsley

with a skimmer

. The oil or fat now has a neutral taste once again.

Healthy nutrition

Nutritional experts recommend the use of vegetable oils and fats containing

unsaturated fatty acids (e.g. linoleic acid). However, these oils and fats lose their

positive characteristics faster than other oils and must therefore be exchanged

more frequently.

Orient yourself on the following guidelines:

■ Exchange the oil or fat regularly. If you use the deep fat fryer mainly to

pr

epare chips and strain the oil or fat after every use, it can be used 10

to 12 times.

■ However, do not use the oil or fat for longer than six months. Always follow

the instructions given on the packaging.

■ As a general rule, oils and fats cannot be used so often if you mainly fry

foods with lots of pr

oteins, such as meat or ﬁ sh.

■ Do not mix fresh oil with old oil.

■ Change the oil or fat if it foams on being heated, if it develops a strong taste

or odour

, if it becomes dark and/or if it develops a syrupy consistency.

Heat protection function

In a case of overheating, the heat protection function switches the appliance oﬀ .

This can happen if there is no, or not suﬃ cient, oil or fat in the deep fat fryer or

when solid cooking fats are being melted in the appliance.

When using solid cooking fats, the control and heating element 0 cannot give

oﬀ the heat that is generated quickly enough.

If the heat protection function has switched the appliance oﬀ , please proceed as

follows:

1) Allow the appliance to cool down.

2) Leave the oil or fat to cool (the fat should just be liquid).

3) Open the appliance lid by pressing on the lid release button 4.

4) Remove the frying basket 6.

5) Remove the operating/heating element 0.

6) Place the operating/heating element 0 in a clean and dry location.

7) Carefully press the reset button on the control and heating element 0 with a

small pointed object.

The appliance can now be used again.
