Before using for the first time
1. Remove the packaging. Open the deep fryer by pressing the button (2).
The frying basket is in the deep fryer.
2. It is highly recommended to clean the lid, casing, container and frying basket as
described in CLEANING.
3. Connect the mains cable supplied to a correctly installed 230 V/50 Hz power
socket and the mains connection point (10) on the rear of the device.
1. Always remove the food remaining in the oil (e.g. pieces of French fries).
Change the oil after using it 8-10 times.
2. Deep frying fat must be capable of being 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 already at low temperatures.
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 possi-
ble and the food only fried until it turns golden yellow.
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. The deep frying basket must not be more than two-thirds full. Do not overfill the
basket.
