Useful hints

• A lways remove the food remaining in the oil (e.g. pieces of French fries). After the
device has been used several times you should change the oil. Use high quality
frying oil or frying grease.
• Fats and oils must be heatable to high temperatures.
• D o not use margarine, olive oil or butter: they are not fit for frying, because they
start to smoke already at low temperatures. We recommend the use of liquid
frying oil.
WARNING:
Please note this important information if you intend to use fat!
If you use fat, please divide it up into small pieces. Turn the thermostat to a low
temperature and add the pieces slowly. Once the fat has melted and the correct oil
level is reached you can set the desired temperature on the thermostat.
Under no circumstances should you place the fat in the deep frying basket!
1. In order to reduce the acrylamide content of food containing starch (potatoes,
cereals) the temperature during deep-fat frying should not exceed 170° C (or
possibly 175° C). Furthermore, the frying time should be kept as short as possible
and the food only fried until it turns golden yellow.
2. Please note that the safety switch is operated when the control element is
inserted into the guide mechanism.
3. 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.
4. Do not carry or move the deep fryer if the oil or grease is still hot.
5. When frying dough-like foods scrape off the excess dough and put the pieces
carefully into the oil.
6. Please ensure that the handle of the deep fat frying basket has been
correctly attached.
7. Press the ends of the wire together at the free end of the handle.
8. Insert the brackets into wire hoops inside the basket.
