Cooking Tips - Brabantia BBEK1130 Instruction Manual

Important!
Be careful, as the oil may spit. Take care when removing the lid, as hot steam may be
released.
There is a non-auto resetting thermostat built into the product. If the Deep Fryer has been
in use for a prolonged time, the built-in non-auto resetting thermostat will activate and
cut off the current to protect the appliance from overheating.
To enable the Deep Fryer to function normally again, turn the temperature control knob
anti clockwise to reset the thermostat after the heating element has cooled down.
FOOD PREPARATION TIPS
Before lowering the basket
1. Always make sure that the food is dry before lowering it into the hot oil.
2. Ensure that the food is roughly the same size so that it cooks evenly. Avoid very thick
pieces.
3. Some types of food should be breaded before being cooked in the Deep Fryer.
4. Make sure you remove as much ice as possible from frozen food. However, it does
not need to be defrosted before cooking.
5. Do not fill the basket above the max mark on the metal plate under the handle.
Important!
The handle may be very hot after any prolonged period of use.
