• If the fryer has a removable bowl, never take it out when the fryer is switched on.
• Never immerse the appliance or the electrical control unit in water!
Cooking
• Never plug in the deep fat fryer without oil or fat inside. The oil level must always be between
the min and max markers.
• If you use solid vegetable fat, cut it into pieces and melt it over a low heat in a separate pan
beforehand, then slowly pour it into the deep fryer bowl. Never put solid fat directly into the
deep fryer bowl or fryer basket as this will lead to deterioration of the appliance.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst in use.
• Do not mix different types of oil or fat.
• Do not over fill the basket with food, never exceed the maximum capacity.
Preparing food for frying
• Limit the cooking temperature to 170°C, especially for potatoes.
• Use the basket for chips.
• Control the cooking: Do not eat burnt food.
• Filter your oil after every use to avoid crumbs burning and change the oil regularaly.
• Never store your deep fryer outside, in order to avoid water getting into the oil. Choose a dry
and well-ventilated place.
• Eat a balanced and varied diet which includes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
• Store your fresh potatoes in a room above 8°C.
• For crisp chips and fast cooking, we recommend that you limit the quantity of chips to 1/2 basket per frying.
• With a larger quantity of food or potatoes, the temperature drops very fast just after having
lowered the basket. This lowers the oil temperature considerably and it is normal for the oil to
take a long time to return to 190°C.
• Cut food into similar-sized pieces so that they cook evenly. Avoid using pieces that are too thick.
• Not all frozen foods are ready to use and some require thawing first. Check the manufacturer's
instructions.
• With recipes made from raw potatoes (chips, crisps, etc) wash them in cold water to remove
the starch and then dry them throughly. This will stop them from sticking together.
• No matter what the recipe, whether preparing fresh or frozen food, it must be perfectly dry. Dry
the food thoroughly with paper kitchen towel or a clean tea towel before frying. This will prevent
the oil from splattering and/or overflowing and will extend the life of the oil.
• Regularly check the cooking progress to avoid overcooking: do not eat very brown or burnt
food, only eat golden brown food.
• For crispy fried food, open the lid as soon as you have finished cooking to prevent steam softening the food.
Any repairs must only be carried out by a Tefal Approved Service Centre with the manufacturer's own replacement parts.
