Notes for Use

Useful Hints for Use
• Oil and fat must be heatable to very high temperatures.
Use high quality frying oil or frying grease. Do not use
margarine, olive oil or butter. These fat types are not
suitable for frying, because they already start to smoke
at low temperatures.
• We recommend the use of liquid frying oil.
CAUTION: Heavy formation of foam!
• Never mix oils and fats. The liquid may overflow.
• Do not use any frozen food containing ice!
• Rub wet food dry with a cloth. Overly damp food
causes heavy foaming which, in serious cases, may
cause the oil / fat to overflow.
WARNING: Contaminated oil / fat can be highly
inflammable!
• Always remove any food which may remain in the
oil / fat.
• Replace the oil/fat regularly.
• Avoid any splashing. Fill the basket outside the deep
fryer.
• Fry only in the frying basket.
• Select a suitable frying temperature under consideration
of the properties of the food to be fried. The guideline is:
Pre-fried food requires higher temperature than raw food.
• When deep-frying doughy food, wipe off excess dough
and place the pieces carefully into the oil.
• Ensure that the handle of the deep fat frying basket has
been correctly attached.
• The deep dryer may be filled max. to 2/3. Do not overfill
the frying basket
NOTE: Maximum capacity
Large basket: 1000 g
Small baskets: 500 g each
Tips for Avoiding the Acrylamide Content
• Acrylamide is a chemical compound. It occurs during the
browning process (deep-drying, baking, cooking, roast-
ing, and grilling) at high temperatures in food containing
carbohydrates (starch and sugar), like potato and grain
products.
• Acrylamide is suspected of harming genetic material and
causing cancer. However, the actual risk for humans is
not yet known.
• We recommend not to exceed a temperature of 170 °C
during drying.

• Also, the frying time should be kept as short as possible
and the fried goods should be fried maximally to a
golden yellow colour.
• Thicker French fries or potato pieces are less loaded
than smaller ones, as acrylamide forms mainly in the
surface layers.
• If you produce French fries from fresh potatoes, water
the peeled and chopped potato pieces for one hour to
dissolve a part of the sugar from the surface layers (initial
substance for acrylamide).

Start-Up

Before Using for the First Time
1. Mount the handle onto the frying basket:
• Press the ends of the wire together at the free end of
the handle.

• Lock the handle into place on the basket.
2. Please pull the connecting cable out of the cable com-
partment.
Connected Wattage
The total power consumption of this appliance can be
3270 W. With this connected wattage, a separate feed pro-
tected by a 16 amp circuit breaker is recommended.
CAUTION: Overload!
• If you use extension cords, they should have a conduc-
tor cross-section of at least 1.5 mm².
• Do not use any multiple sockets, as this appliance is
too powerful.
Electric Connection
1. Confirm that the voltage of the appliance (refer to the
name plate) and the mains voltage are the same.
2. The mains plug should only be inserted into a correctly
installed earthed socket.

When the switch is in the position "0 " , the appliance is off.
There are two ways in which the appliance can be used:
- Using without the Timer Switch
1. Move the on / off switch (1) to the "ON" position.
