Accessories

Only use the deep-fat frying baskets intended for this deep-fat
fryer.
Do not insert any plastic utensils into the fat.

Deep-fat frying

When deep-fat frying, the heat generated by the appliance is
transferred to the food through the fat. With this fast cooking
method, a tasty crust forms around the food. The temperature
range for deep-fat frying is between 150 and 190°C.
Notes
Chop fresh deep frying fat before liquefying it. When reusing
deep frying fat, pierce a hole in the solid fat mass through to the
heating element before liquefying the fat (e.g. with the handle of
a cooking spoon).
Only use pure vegetable oil/fat for deep-fat frying. Avoid mixing
different types of fat.
When deep frying fat is being melted, smoke may form. This is
normal.
Risk of fire!
When using the deep-fat fryer with frozen fat, the element can
overheat. Defrost frozen fat before liquefying.
Risk of fire!
When using the deep-fat fryer with solid fat, the element may
overheat. Melt deep-fat frying fat first at a low temperature. Only
set a higher temperature once the deep-fat frying fat is largely
melted.
Risk of fire!
If the minimum fill level is not met (bottom mark), the element can
overheat. Add oil or fat in good time.
